Since the first Enterprise Rent-A-Car® branch opened in Waipahu in the fall of 1994, the values that have turned the brand into a global success still hold true: Listen to customers and team members and exceed their expectations; and be a responsible corporate citizen in the communities where they live and work.

Enterprise Rent-A-Car is the flagship daily rental car brand of Enterprise Mobility™, which also operates National Car Rental® and Alamo®. This daily rental business has now grown to more than 40 locations across the state, and Enterprise’s impact on the community has been widespread over the past 30 years.

In fiscal year 2024 alone, Enterprise Mobility team members in Hawaiʻi worked more than 1,500 volunteer hours and over $1 million was donated to local charities across Hawaiʻi through the Enterprise Mobility Foundation and the Enterprise Hawaiʻi local operating group.

Since 1994, Enterprise has contributed more than $9 million to the Hawaiʻi community through employee giving and Enterprise Mobility Foundation grants as well as Enterprise Hawaiʻi operating group partnerships and donations that have supported a wide range of nonprofit organizations.

"Giving back to and supporting our local communities is not just the right thing to do, it’s been the foundation of our success," said Jeff Haughey, vice president & general manager, Enterprise Mobility in Hawaiʻi. "We encourage our team members to identify causes that have a real impact in our communities, and we mobilize support in a variety of ways. From serving on boards and volunteer events to providing financial assistance, we take great pride in supporting our Enterprise Ohana as well as our partners and neighbors."

Enterprise Mobility in Hawaiʻi currently employs more than 1,000 team members statewide with operations including the daily rental business as well as truck rental and a vanpooling service, Commute with Enterprise.

"Enterprise Mobility has built its reputation on putting our customers and employees first and providing exceptional service," said Haughey.

Truck rental, which was introduced in 2016, has experienced significant growth statewide with four locations and operations on Oahu, Maui, Kauai and the Big Island.

Introduced in 2015, Commute with Enterprise now operates across four islands and helps take an estimated 800 to 1,000 single-occupancy vehicles off Hawaiʻi’s roadways each day. Commute is supported by the extensive Enterprise Rent-A-Car neighborhood network, which helps organizations and riders overcome commuting and transit desert challenges while providing an unmatched level of fleet flexibility and local service.

Another hallmark of the business’ community engagement: Supporting the U.S. military.

Enterprise’s military history is rooted in its founder Jack Taylor’s experience as a decorated World War II Navy Hellcat fighter pilot. The brand “Enterprise” honors the ship he served on – the USS Enterprise. Taylor applied the lessons he learned in the Navy about honor, respect and integrity to create what has become the world’s largest vehicle rental business.

The business’ long history of support includes a $50,000 donation from the Foundation to Pacific Historic Parks on behalf of the 75th Commemoration of the Dec. 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor. Enterprise Mobility continues to honor Taylor’s legacy by supporting military members and their families across Hawaiʻi in a variety of ways, including:

• An annual volunteer project to support the USS Battleship Missouri Memorial and Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum
• Supporting and sponsoring the Navy League of the U.S. – Honolulu Council
• A partnership with Waikiki Community Center to lay ti leaf lei on the graves of fallen veterans each Memorial Day
