Enterprise Rent-A-Car and Uber are partnering to launch a car rental pilot program in Denver. Enterprise will provide rental cars to Uber drivers by the week or month, according to a report by the Denver Post.
"What we're trying to do here is lower the barrier to entry for someone who does want to work with Uber but who does not have a qualifying car or doesn't have a car at all," Andrew Chapin, Uber's head of vehicle solutions, told the Post.
