Culture and hard work created Enterprise
Enterprise Rent-A-Car is an American success story. From humble beginnings, this family-founded business has always been guided by honesty, integrity, and a strong commitment to service. At its core is a belief in strengthening communities, one neighborhood at a time, and treating customers like family.

Did you know?
Enterprise founder, Jack Taylor, chose the name Enterprise as a tribute to the WWII aircraft carrier on which he served as a pilot, the USS Enterprise. In Curaçao, the family business Caribe Car Rental N.V. proudly operates as the Enterprise franchisee, with more than 50 years of experience in providing mobility solutions.
Values
“Take care of customers and employees first, and everything else will follow.”
One man’s vision is how the Enterprise story begins. Back in 1957, a decorated WWII veteran came home with the dream of starting a business. Jack Taylor, utilizing lessons learned in the Navy—including the value of hard work, team spirit and simply doing the right thing—started an automobile leasing business, with a fleet of seven cars.
Enterprise is now a household name for travelers and those with a car in the shop. We’re a worldwide leader in the car rental industry and we value employees and customers as much as a member of our own family.
