Airport car hire reservations for the Thanksgiving holiday were up 10% over last year for Alamo Rent A Car, Enterprise Rent-A-Car and National Car Rental.

“We know that millions of travelers will be at the airport next week with only one thing on their minds – reaching their families and friends in time to celebrate Thanksgiving,” said Rob Hibbard, vice president, Enterprise Holdings. “As a result, we have been preparing for this annual travel peak for many months. Our fleet and our employees are ready to meet the needs of car rental customers from coast to coast.”

Alamo, Enterprise and National collectively account for over a third of all airport car rentals in the USA and Canada.

“It’s an encouraging economic sign that car rentals are up over last Thanksgiving,” said Roger Dow, president and CEO, U.S. Travel Association. “Last year, the car rental sector had an economic output of $33.5 billion and supported 152,000 U.S. jobs at 7,170 places of business across America. When Americans travel, they create jobs, boost economic output and increase revenues for states and local communities.”
