Enterprise Rent-A-Car has formed new agreements with a number of travel management operators including American Express Travel and BCD Travel.

The rental provider already has established relationships with American Express Travel and BCD Travel in the US. However, these new partnerships in Europe will enable inbound business travellers from all parts of the world to access the Enterprise car hire network.

The agreements follow Enterprise’s pan-European expansion programme both through acquisition and the appointment of franchisee partners.

Enterprise has a fleet of more than 100,000 vehicles and operates from more than 1,000 branches throughout the continent. The Enterprise brand is currently available in Ireland, the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, The Netherlands, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, Greece, Croatia, Turkey and Bulgaria.

Later this year, Enterprise will become operational in Switzerland, Turkey, Poland, Czech Republic and Israel.

Rob Ingram (pictured), director of business development Europe at Enterprise Rent-A-Car, said: "Partnering so closely with the travel management industry in Europe is an important step in our ambitious growth plans.

"Travel management companies offer vital services and advice to businesses looking for the most effective transport solutions. Through outstanding customer care and the right car hire solutions, our aim is to be the company of choice for all business car rental in Europe."
