Enterprise Holdings in partnership with Neal & Massy Automotive Ltd. announced April 26 the opening of three new Alamo Rent A Car and National Car Rental locations in Trinidad and Tobago. The partnership between Enterprise Holdings, which owns and operates the National and Alamo brands, and Neal & Massy includes a multi-territory agreement with locations in Port of Spain at Piarco International Airport, Morvant and in Tobago at the A.N.R. Robinson International Airport.

"We are excited about our new locations in Trinidad and Tobago, and we are very pleased to be partnering with Neal & Massy as we expand operations in the Caribbean," said Jerry Smith, vice president of franchise operations with Enterprise Holdings.

Speaking to government ministries and ministers, chamber of commerce staff, and travel and hospitality executives in attendance at a ribbon-cutting ceremony, David O'Brien, senior vice president and executive chairman of Neal & Massy Automotive Ltd., stated, "The expansion of Alamo and National into Trinidad and Tobago brings two trusted brands to the area. Together, we look forward to the opportunity to provide the highest level of customer service to visitors and residents."

The three new locations are open at Piarco International Airport, Morvant and A.N.R. Robinson International Airport, Tobago. All three locations are currently accepting reservations online at Alamo and National.

The last reported brand expansion for Alamo and National in the Caribbean was in the Cayman Islands in February.
