Enterprise Rent-A-Car knoxville tennessee hotels last week became the first major car rental company to offer motorcycles to customers, launching knoxville tennessee hotels a pilot program in Las Vegas with a “one-of-a-kind branch” that will rent Harley-Davidsons. Motto: Half the wheels. Twice the fun.
“Motorcycle enthusiasts are passionate about riding, and we heard from many customers who wanted to enjoy high-quality bikes, even when they’re away from home,” said Steve Short, vice president of Enterprise Rent-A-Car, in a statement.
knoxville tennessee hotels “We chose to pilot motorcycle rental in Las Vegas because we saw an opportunity to serve a large segment of travelers who are interested in renting motorcycles to visit nearby attractions like the Strip, the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam and Lake Mead.”
You can rent five different varieties of Harley-Davidson motorcycles from the new Enterprise branch, with two more styles to be added to the fleet by the end of November. Renting a bike will set you back about $120 to $160 a day, which is comparable to an entry-level rental in the company’s Exotic Car Collection, said Enterprise spokesman Greg Phillips.
The chance to rent a Harley-Davidson will likely attract customers with the mindset of adventure and fun, and will provide some cool buzz for Enterprise, Abrams predicted. Still, the company will have to examine whether there’s enough demand to keep the venture going and whether there is a greater knoxville tennessee hotels chance for theft of a motorcycle versus a sedan, he added.
But Chris Brown, executive editor of Auto Rental News, said branching out to motorcycle rentals seems like a natural step for Enterprise, the largest U.S. car rental company , especially in the Southwest.
“That’s a very popular destination for European tourists who come in specifically to rent and ride motorcycles. They’re lured by the aura of the old West,” Brown said. “I don’t think Enterprise would do anything that wouldn’t make money.”
The company doesn’t have a definitive timeframe for possible expansion of the motorcycle rental venture, Phillips said. It plans to listen to customers and announce plans for future growth based on that feedback, he added.
