Financial Stability

Our company's financial strength and stability are unmatched in our industry, thanks to a conservative and disciplined long-term approach to managing our business. For more than 50 years, our owners, the Taylor family, have put a significant portion of the company's cumulative earnings right back into our privately held business – into building our operations, serving our customers and creating opportunities for our people.

It's an approach that has earned us the lowest debt-to-equity ratio – and the strongest balance sheet by far – in our industry. This stable financial footing is a distinct competitive advantage. In fact, with annual revenues of $14 billion and more than 70,000 employees, we operate, through our regional subsidiaries, more than 1 million cars and trucks, making us the largest car rental service provider in the world measured by revenue, employees and fleet.

In addition, Enterprise Holdings currently is ranked No. 15 on the Forbes list of America’s Largest Private Companies. Furthermore, if Enterprise Holdings were publicly traded, it would rank at number 174 on Fortune’s list of the 500 largest public companies in the U.S. In comparison, the next largest rental car company is ranked 315th on the Fortune list

Managing our business for the long term reaches well beyond strictly financial matters to virtually every aspect of our company.  For example, we deliver an unparalleled, diverse network of more than 6,000 neighborhood and airport branch offices located within 15 miles of 90 percent of the U.S. population. Such accessibility and agility are unique in the car rental and travel industries, and our ability to quickly respond to demand fluctuations directly mitigates the historical volatility of airport car rental.

Our philosophy is that business is a marathon, not a 100-yard dash. We approach new opportunities conservatively, always placing a higher value on the long-term impact on our business than on the potential for short-term gain. And it's not just senior management's job; this approach plays out everyday across our company in the care and discipline our local teams bring to using their resources and managing operations.
