Alamo Rent-A-Car/National Car Rental/Enterprise Rent-A-Car – CPTDB Wiki

Alamo Rent-A-Car, National Car Rental and Enterprise Rent-A-Car are rental car agencies operating as subsidiaries under Enterprise Holdings Inc. Originally founded as separate and competing companies, a series of merges and acquisitions has led to all three companies being owned by Enterprise since 2007. Shuttle bus service is operated at various airports to transport passengers from airport terminals to the rental car centers. This page provides an overview of the bus fleet owned and operated by the three companies over the years.

Alamo/National/Enterprise Bus Detailed Fleet Pages

The following is a list of fleets that were owned and operated by Alamo/National/Enterprise. Fleet pages are sorted by year and model, and contain further information such as known fleet numbers, airports served, and VIN/serials for buses. Note that there is not a standard fleet number scheme across the entire bus fleet; each airport fleet will have its own numbering scheme. Often, numbers will be duplicated, and buses can be renumbered when transferred from one airport to another.

Pages are titled based on the time the buses were purchased.
