National Voted `Best Daily Rental Company' in London's Fleet Awards

    FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--April 5, 2001--National Car Rental, a division of ANC Rental Corporation , was recently voted "Best Daily Rental Company" in the United Kingdom at the prestigious 2001 Fleet News awards ceremony held in London.
    The Fleet News awards are widely acknowledged as the premiere recognition ceremony for the entire auto rental industry in the United Kingdom. The honor is awarded based on the judgement from an automotive industry expert panel as well as votes from the readers of Fleet News.
    "The award is a clear demonstration of National's continued commitment to delivering a streamlined daily rental service to its customers, which specifically meets their individual demands. It is a credit to our staff and, in particular, our marketing team, who put together a terrific presentation, which was re-enforced by reader votes," said John Leigh, National's senior vice president and general manager, Pan-Europe.
    "Over the years, we have built a company focused on promoting innovation and customer-driven solutions to the corporate and fleet sector," Leigh continued. "We have recognized customer needs when they have been under enormous pressure to reduce rental car expenses. We have developed a phenomenal online reservation and termination system and are targeted for great profit and growth by year's end," Leigh said.
    A number of key factors put National in prime position for this year's award. As the United Kingdom's number one rental car company, accounting for nearly 30,000 cars, the company experienced unprecedented expansion throughout Europe, the Middle East, and Africa last year. National also created a dedicated International sales team, all of which helped position National as a truly world-class, global rental car company.
