    After Enterprise Car Rental Picks You Up, Who Takes the Agent Back?

    August 16, 2020

    Picking you up is a "two way" street with Enterprise Car Rental

    Enterprise picks you up. And Enterprise takes you back.

    Why? Because… they need you to sign the rental contract!

    Watch the Enterprise commercials closely.  Above is one of the early 1990’s vintage ads showing an agent picking up an Enterprise customer. The agent is always the one driving the car back to the office with the customers as passengers.

    It might be interesting to know that the “We’ll Pick You Up” way of doing business has been an Enterprise practice since the early 1970’s, when a branch manager in Orlando started the procedure .
    Enterprise Fun Facts
    • Slogan: Since 1994 the “We’ll pick you up” slogan has been trademarked and married to the Enterprise green logo. Enterprise has successfully defended the trademark against such companies as Hertz , Advantage , Rent-a-Wreck and others.
    • Size: It also might be interesting to know that Enterprise Holdings is the largest car rental company in the world (also owns Alamo and National) with revenues approaching 20 Billion dollars . They own more than 1.7 million cars and trucks and have more than 93,000 employees, making them the largest car rental service company measured by revenue, vehicles, and employees.
    • Privately owned: Compared to all other privately owned companies, Enterprise ranks #16 on Forbes America’s Largest Private Company list.

    One might come to the conclusion that consistent use of an excellent slogan and customer-centered philosophy might have something to do with their world-class results.๏ปฟ ๏ปฟ

    Many don’t realize that the insurance industry is one of the country's most regulated business segments, especially in New York State.

    By Jeff Ryan October 30, 2024
    Most property insurance companies offer Actual Cash Value or Replacement Cost settlement options. Typically, insurance companies will require that you insure the property to the settlement value you choose. If you select Actual Cash Value, the amount you may be required to insure the property for will be less than the corresponding Replacement Value.

    Sometimes, this concept meets with resistance from policyholders. The thought of paying more in the event of a claim is off-putting to some. Even if that means I pay more for my insurance.

    OK. Admittedly, this strategy doesn't benefit everyone, but it can be very beneficial for those it does. You may have unique home or auto insurance needs that prevent you from bundling with the same company. Alternatively… you might have a better rate without the bundle discount by splitting up your insurance between multiple carriers.
