About Enterprise Rent-A-Car
Enterprise Rent-A-Car is an internationally recognized brand that has been named to BusinessWeek magazine's annual list of "Customer Service Champs" in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. In addition, Enterprise won Budget Travel magazine's 2010 and 2011 Readers' Choice Award as their favourite rental car brand for customer service around the globe.
Enterprise Rent-A-Car operates not only as a key provider for insurance replacement, small business needs, weekend getaways, and special occasions, but also as a local transportation alternative. For example, many consumers rely on mass transit during the week or simply cannot afford to purchase or maintain a vehicle on their own - so they often depend on local Virtual Car® rental service and take advantage of Enterprise's "everyday low price," including popular weekend rates starting at $9.99 per day. Enterprise is the Official Rent-A-Car of the NHL.
