ST. LOUIS, Nov. 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Enterprise Holdings and its portfolio of brands - Enterprise Rent-A-Car, National Car Rental and Alamo Rent A Car - have earned prestigious honors this year as travel partners of choice among corporate customers, travel buyers, and business and leisure travelers.

Most recently, the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) and Travel Weekly recognized Enterprise Holdings and its three car rental brands as travel experts and professionals who make lasting, innovative contributions to the travel sector.

"It's humbling to see our company being recognized as travel experts who have ultimately made an impact," said Don Moore, Vice President of Corporate Business for Enterprise Holdings.

"We are honored to recognize Enterprise Holdings as the ASTA Transportation Partner Company of the Year," said Zane Kerby, ASTA's President and CEO. "Enterprise Holdings clearly understands that travel advisors are an important distribution channel. We thank Enterprise for providing the products and support that help our agents sell more travel."
