Rental Car Sales

We all know buying a car new or used is a huge expense! Periodically most companies offer some kind of deal, but one place you may not have thought of or may be a little hesitant about are rental car companies. "Enterprise Rental Car is a very well-known brand, but what people don't know we've actually been selling cars directly to the public for over 40 years," said Devon Ader, Group Car Sales Manager.

While rental cars may have higher mileages, they are usually only a year or two old and about a third less than the price of a brand new car. "Looking at the car I was previously interested in a couple years ago, I'm actually saving about $500 a month," said new car owner Johnetter Wilkins. Sounds like a deal, but I know one major concern I had is the fact that these cars have been driven by tons of people, but Johnetter looks at it as a good thing. "They have to make sure the cars are safe and secure for different people no matter where they are travelling, so I know that the maintenance it up, I know that it's a good car and I know how many users have been in the vehicle and luckily this vehicle only had one user," she said. "It was a corporate car with only 22,000 miles on it and it's a 2011, so it's great!"
