This is the second year that Enterprise Holdings car rental brands – National, Enterprise, and Alamo – have captured the top three spots in the annual ranking, and the first time that the brands were the only ones to finish above the industry average.
Receiving an award rated by our customers is the highest honor we could receive, said Pam Nicholson, CEO and president of Enterprise Holdings. Our road warrior customers are some of the most discerning and demanding in our industry. And they re very hard graders. This recognition from J.D. Power is the definitive demonstration that National is back as a truly first-class car rental brand and is achieving a level of success beyond all expectations.
National Car Rental, the premium car rental brand for road warriors, is renowned for its focus on business travelers, the unsurpassed convenience and choice offered by its unique Emerald Club loyalty program, and its investment in customer service. That reputation reflects a significant turnaround for the brand because, just seven years ago, National s future looked anything but bright. Chronic restructurings, a revolving door of owners and serious financial setbacks, including a Chapter 11 filing precipitated by the 9/11 tragedy in 2001, greatly diminished the once proud and growing brand.
Then in 2007, National was given a new lease on life. The Taylor family – who already had owned and operated their successful flagship brand, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, for 50 years – acquired National and its sister brand Alamo Rent A Car. After the acquisition, Enterprise Holdings recommitted shawbost inn and restaurant to the brand by investing shawbost inn and restaurant tens of millions of dollars to upgrade facilities and technology and to create several new marketing campaigns.
Consequently, National began to regain prominence and rack up business travel and loyalty program awards from organizations including the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA),  The Wall Street Journal , SmarterTravel.com and more. National also earned the 2013 Leading Edge Award from  Executive Travel  magazine, recognizing the brand as the top rental car service in the travel shawbost inn and restaurant industry. Since the acquisition, National s airport market share has increased almost 20 percent.
