Enterprise RentACar National Car Rental and Alamo Rent A Car Announce Industrys Largest Carbon Offset Program



Enterprise Rent-A-Car, National Car Rental and Alamo Rent A Car, owned by the Taylor family of St. Louis, announced today a new customer carbon offset program - the largest of its kind in the industry and the first consumer initiative to be launched under all three rental car brands.

Annually, between 20 and 25 million customers of Enterprise Rent-A-Car, National Car Rental and Alamo Rent A Car will be offered the opportunity to benefit the environment by offsetting the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions generated by their car rentals. By opting in during the reservation process to pay $1.25 per rental, customers can fund certified offset projects that work to remove CO2 from the atmosphere.

Customer offset purchases will be matched by the company dollar-for-dollar up to $1 million. Beginning in January 2008, the program will be offered at participating locations in the U.S. and Canada; it will be extended to Enterprise's European customers in mid-2008.

"Our customers tell us that making sustainable choices when they rent a car is important to them," said Andy Taylor, chairman and chief executive officer of Enterprise Rent-A-Car, whose family earlier this year purchased the National Car Rental and Alamo Rent A Car businesses.
