Enterprise Truck Rental Drives Growth Strategy into 2018

Special Consumer Discounts Available Through February

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 5, 2018 /CNW/ -- As part of its ongoing expansion to provide transportation solutions when and where customers need them, Enterprise Truck Rental has opened more than a dozen locations across the United States in the past six months. These include new Enterprise Truck Rental offices in California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Nevada, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.

The new location openings are part of a broader growth strategy to increase Enterprise Truck Rental's presence in North America, particularly in heavily trafficked areas. Over the past decade, Enterprise Truck Rental has tripled its number of locations from 100 in 2007 to more than 300 today throughout the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico. In 2017 alone, Enterprise Truck Rental opened a total of 40 U.S. locations.

"We are actively looking at expanding our business in areas of increasing commercial growth and consumer demand," said Frank Thurman, Corporate Vice President of Enterprise Truck Rental. "Our goal is to continuously identify ways to meet customers' transportation needs, and these new locations are just another way for us to do that."

Enterprise Truck Rental is a service of Enterprise Rent-A-Car, which has delivered local transportation solutions to customers for more than 60 years and is an integral part of North America'stransportation infrastructure. Enterprise Truck Rental's growth is built upon the Enterprise legacy of superior customer service. All Enterprise Truck Rental customers receive the Enterprise brand's renowned high level of service, including free pickup and 24-hour roadside assistance. Enterprise Truck Rental is achieving record levels of customer satisfaction, thanks in large part to its commitment to listening and responding to its customers.

Enterprise first began renting commercial trucks in 1999 and, in response to customer demand, started offering truck rentals for personal use a decade later. In 2016, Enterprise Truck Rental began offering tow-capable pickup trucks for personal use – also in response to customer demand. Today, rentals for personal use account for 20 percent of Enterprise Truck Rental's business.

Truck Rental Winter Promotion

For customers who rent for personal use, Enterprise Truck Rental is also offering a winter web discount on rental rates at participating locations in the U.S., Puerto Rico and Canada. Now through Feb. 28, customers can save up to 20 percent on personal use truck or van rental reservations made for a maximum of six days.

"The winter promotion is our way to thank both new and existing customers for their retail business," said Thurman. "Whether they're renting for a local move, DIY project or other personal need, we appreciate the opportunity to provide high-quality, convenient solutions for all our customers, and we work hard to exceed their expectations in the process."
