    For more information, contact: Ned Maniscalco, Enterprise Rent-A-Car 314-512-5523, [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Enterprise Rent-A-Car and Europcar Expand Strategic Alliance To Create the World’s Largest Car Rental Network Partnership Expands Transatlantic Alliance Established in 2006 Between Europcar and National Car Rental and Alamo Rent A Car September 4, 2008 (St. Louis, Missouri) – Enterprise Rent-A-Car, North America’s largest car rental company, and Europcar, the number one car rental company in Europe, today announced they have enhanced their strategic alliance to include the Enterprise brand in North America, as well as the National Car Rental and Alamo Rent A Car brands that previously constituted the transatlantic partnership. Enterprise and Europcar have been working to formally expand the alliance ever since Enterprise’s purchase of the National and Alamo brands in North America in August 2007. With the addition to the new partnership of the Enterprise brand in North America, the alliance now offers a combined fleet of more than 1.2 million rental vehicles in more than 13,000 locations in 162 countries. The newly expanded partnership constitutes the largest car rental network in the world. The expanded alliance provides rental car coverage for customers traveling between each partner company’s areas of operations. Under the terms of the agreement, the partners will also take a coordinated approach to global corporate accounts, offering today’s companies and organizations the most extensive service provider network in the rental car industry anywhere in the world, complete with coordinated loyalty programs. The alliance is designed to leverage and develop traffic between North America and Europe: each year an estimated 12 million people travel across the Atlantic in either direction.

    Car Rental Security Contacts www.carrentalsecurity.com This list is divided into three sections. The first is the Corporate Headquarters (HQ) information for each agency. In some cases there may also be listed a “Car Control” function normally responsible for overdue vehicles, vehicle impounds/towing, etc. Some may list toll-free after-hours numbers and/or Customer Service / Roadside Assistance numbers. After-hours information may be limited depending upon the agency. Vehicle registration information is also listed where provided. Keep in mind that most agencies have “floating” or “controlled” fleets so vehicles with out of state plates may have been rented locally. The second part of the list is a summary state-by-state listing of those security contacts located in the field. The last listing is a detailed list of all security contacts (HQ and Field) by rental agency name and then in alphabetical order. See www.carrentalsecurity.com for the most current list.

    Acquiring Zipcar: Brand Building in the Share Economy

    Boston University School of Management BU Case Study 12-010 Rev. December 12, 2012 Acquiring Zipcar Brand Building in the Share Economy By Susan Fournier, Giana Eckhardt and Fleura Bardhi Scott Griffith, CEO of Zipcar, languished over his stock charts. They had something here, everyone agreed about that. Zipcar had shaken up the car rental industry with a “new model” for people who wanted steady access to cars without the hassle of owning them. Sales had been phenomenal. Since its beginning in 2000, Zipcar had experienced 100%+ growth annually, with annual revenue in the previous year of $241.6 million. Zipcar now boasted more than 750,000 members and over 8,900 cars in urban areas and college campuses throughout the United States, Canada and the U.K. and claimed nearly half of all global car-sharing members. The company had continued international expansion by purchasing the largest car sharing company in Spain. The buzz had been wonderful. Still, Zipcar’s stock price was being beaten down, falling from a high of $31.50 to a current trade at $8 and change (See Exhibit 1). The company had failed to turn an annual profit since its founding in 2000 and held but two months’ of operating cash on hand as of September 2012. Critics wondered about the sustainability of the business model in the face of increased competition. There was no doubt: the “big guys” were circling. Enterprise Rent-a-Car Co. had entered car sharing with a model of its own (See Exhibit 2). The Enterprise network, which included almost 1 million vehicles and more than 5,500 offices located within 15 miles of 90 percent of the U.S.

  • Differentiation in the United States Rental Car Industry

    Differentiation in the United States Rental Car Industry

    2016 International Business & Education Conferences – January 3-7 Orlando, FL, USA Differentiation In The United States Rental Car Industry Maria Noriega Fee, University of the Incarnate Word, San Antonio Texas, USA Michelle Senser, University of the Incarnate Word, San Antonio, USA Ryan Lunsford, Ph.D., University of the Incarnate Word, San Antonio, USA ABSTRACT The $26 billion rental car industry has become increasingly consolidated in recent years (Autorentalnews.com, 2014). Rental car companies play a significant role in the overall travel economy apart from simply providing vehicles for vacationers. They support the domestic automotive industry, provide transportation for urban locals and travelers, and provide tens of thousands of U.S. jobs while fostering career growth (Shankman, 2013). This case study provides a historical overview and industry analysis of the sector’s three principal competitors, namely, Avis Budget Group, Inc., Enterprise Holdings, Inc., and Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Recent industry consolidation has resulted in the grouping of the largest individually branded rental car companies under the umbrella of the “big three.” As competition continues to intensify, each brand seeks to obtain and leverage at least one sustainable competitive advantage. This case study will identify the primary categories of differentiation and discuss the sustainable business practices that are paramount for the continued success of each company. This case study suggests that the true determinates of rental car company selection are Service, Types of Rentals, Ease of Use, Pricing, and Loyalty Programs. In addition, this case study identifies emerging market trends in the rental car industry and offers several practical recommendations moving forward.
