History

Established in 1957.

Enterprise Rent-​A-​Car was founded by Jack Taylor in 1957 and is known for an extensive network of locations, everyday low rates and outstanding customer service, including picking up local customers at no extra cost. Taylor named the company after an aircraft carrier on which he had served, the World War II USS Enterprise. We’ve always operated through an extensive network of local, neighborhood offices, each powered by the energy of a small, highly entrepreneurial team. Our first customers were the ones who really shaped the business model that we use today. They told us they wanted to rent cars where they live and work. We have a well-​established track record for making rental service convenient and affordable for those who prefer to «buy for the need and rent for the exception.»
