Alamo launched the industry’s first real-​time Internet booking capabilities in 1995 and the first online check-​in system in 2005. In 2007, the Taylor family — who already had owned and operated Enterprise Rent-​A-​Car for 50 years — acquired the Alamo Rent A Car and National Car Rental brands. In 2009, the Taylor family of companies adopted the Enterprise Holdings name as the parent company of Alamo Rent A Car, Enterprise Rent-​A-​Car and National Car Rental. Today, Alamo Rent A Car has locations serving vacation travelers throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Latin America and Asia.
