Enterprise Rent-A-Car has an agreement with Aston Martin that brings the DB9 and Rapide S sports cars to the Exotic Car Collection, in select U.S. locations. Beginning now, Aston Martins will be added to the Exotic Car Collection fleet at locations in Atlanta, Houston, Orlando, Dallas, San Francisco, Southern California, Naples, Miami, Phoenix, Scottsdale and Las Vegas.
Through the agreement, Enterprise, the world’s largest car rental company, will carry the largest fleet of Aston Martin vehicles available for rent compared to any other car rental company, it is claimed.
The Exotic Car Collection was founded in 2006 to meet customer demand for luxury vehicle rentals. Today, there are more than 30 locations in cities throughout the country, and expansion into new markets throughout North America is underway.
“We pride ourselves on providing high-end renters with access to some of the most sought-after vehicles on the planet, and our consistent growth continues to reinforce strong demand for these luxury rentals,” said Brice Adamson, senior vice president, Enterprise Holdings. “This agreement with Aston Martin is a terrific addition to our Collection.”
Exotic Car Collection renters receive “white-glove treatment,” which includes Enterprise’s customer service, delivery and collection of vehicle rentals for customers in nearby areas, as well as a streamlined reservation process designated exclusively for Exotic Car Collection rentals. Enterprise customizes its Exotic Car Collection fleets in each local market based on customer demand.

Above all, decades after he first drove a car, Zino still revels in the sound of the exhaust as the throttle is blipped during a downshift and the driver’s rush that occurs when the entry, apex and exit points of a turn are smoothly and swiftly crossed. It’s the beginning of a perfect lap.
AutoInformed has an editorial philosophy that loves transportation machines of all kinds while promoting critical thinking about the future use of cars and trucks.
Zino builds AutoInformed from his background in automotive journalism starting at Hearst Publishing in New York City on Motor and MotorTech Magazines and car testing where he reviewed hundreds of vehicles in his decade-long stint as the Detroit Bureau Chief of Road & Track magazine.
