The new partnership with Greyfell Nordic brings Enterprise another step closer to realising its goal of increasing choice for car hire customers across the world and demonstrating the value of the company's exceptional customer service to both domestic renters and international travellers.

Our customers have responded very positively to the growth of our European network, which has been developed through franchise partners with a strong track record for service.
