It all started with seven cars and a hunch

One manā€™s vision is how the Enterprise story begins. Back in 1957, a decorated WWII Hellcat pilot returned home after serving over the skies of the South Pacific. This man, a true innovator named Jack Taylor, had a steadfast dedication to his country, his family and the dream of starting a business.

Utilizing lessons learned in the Navyā€”including the value of hard work, team spirit and simply doing the right thingā€”Jack embraced the novel concept of leasing automobiles, with a fleet of seven cars.

Enterprise is now a household name for frequent travelers, road trippers and those with a car in the shop. We're a brand thatā€™s recognized as a worldwide leader in the car rental industry. We value our employees and customers as much as a member of the family. Today Enterprise continues to drive success through a simple, yet powerful set of beliefs to become a leader in car rental, as well as in sustainability and innovation.
