“Take care of your customers and your employees first, and the profits will follow.”
The story of the company dates back to 1957 when Jack Taylor (WWII pilot) upon returning home after the war made a decision to run a business and have a family.
The story began with seven cars and a hunch. Jack started leasing vehicles with the help of seven cars bearing in mind the values that he formed in the U.S. navy. These values were diligent work, teamwork and doing the right thing.
Today Enterprise has a reputation for excellence and value across the globe. Due to high quality services we have built a solid foundation of regular customers and continue to grow, adapt and change as necessary to meet your requirements.
