Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company Description
This Enterprise helps customers to boldly go where they might not have gone before they rented a fresh set of wheels. A leading US car rental company, Enterprise Rent-A-Car maintains a fleet of some 711,000 vehicles from nearly 7,000 locations -- more than 6,000 in the US and another 900 in Canada, Germany, Ireland, and the UK. Unlike rivals such as Hertz and Avis, which operate primarily from airports, Enterprise focuses on customers whose own cars are in the shop or who need a rental for vacations or other special occasions. Enterprise, which acquired rival Vanguard Car Rental, is controlled by chairman and CEO Andrew Taylor, whose father, Jack Taylor, founded the company in 1957.
