The Process Of Renting A Car

Jack Taylor began his business of Enterprise Rent-A-Car in 1962 in St. Louis, Missouri. Following the successfully philosophy of, "Take care of your customers and employees first, and profits will follow", Enterprise grew steadily to become the nation’s largest rent-a-car company. What separated Enterprise from its other competitors such as Hertz, Avis, and Alamo was the fact that the company focused on two segments of the home-city market rather than appealing to the airport-rental market.

Two different customer service models that most retail and online retail organisations use are the cheap prices and convenience model and the personalized in-depth model. The cheap price model is controlled by management and ensures policies and procedures are in place that can be easily measured and constantly measured. This is the one that we at Flanagan’s use more than the other model. However, the other models the personalized and in depth model is used predominately by our other section of the organisation. This is the hotel and leisure and building maintenance side of the business. This is face to face and allows our agents/advisors to be more personal with them. Good use of

As a current employee for the organization, I have a lot of insight as to what makes the company tick as well as where it may fall short in servicing its customers and employees. Due to the high level of competition in the car rental industry, which is predominantly based on price, there is not a lot of distinction between competitors. How DTAG tries to differentiate itself from the industry, though, is by trying to facilitate a smooth transaction for its customers with excellent customer service from all aspects of the rental transaction. An example of such a smooth transaction is the fact that at many locations (including the one that I work at), the rental agents do not assign a vehicle at the rental counter. Once the rental agreement is set up and a car class is selected, the customer goes out to the parking lot and chooses any vehicle they like from the selected car class. Also, if the customer would like to, they could choose to upgrade to another car class with the lot agents that are outside. This effectively keeps the lines at the rental counter moving while also putting some control in the hands of the customer. It also streamlines the rental process to allow the rental agents to take care of more

Over the summer, I had the opportunity to work as a Management Trainee Intern at Enterprise Rent-A-Car at the home-city branch located in Kona. Enterprise Rent-A-Car is a management career, where each employee can advance from within. The branch office is on the second floor of the building and the rental cars are lined up on the ground floor, which made it easier for employees and customers to window shop from inside. Inside the office has tons of space for customers to rest and place their luggage(s), and the desks were hidden from sight behind a divider. Enterprise Rent-A-Car is a family business owned by the Taylor family. The Taylor family created a business that brought opportunity for all people, to build and grow a career, create friendships and leadership skills, and most importantly to have fun.

Three honks. Ready, set, go. The moment every car enthusiast dreams of at night. Chances are you might not even know what a car enthusiast is. Some say it's your average car guy that likes to stare at cars and talk about cars all day long, but there's much more too it. See, you can't be the average person to be a car enthusiast.

Service customer interaction can also be between the customer and technology. The customer may be required to interact with technology in a technology based service encounter to experience the service on offer. In such a service encounter the customer is in control and might be willing to participate but not possessing the necessary skills, knowledge and abilities to operate the machinery for example for a customer to purchase goods online or book a hotel reservations using the company’s website requires the customer to be computer literate hence when not and fails to place an order the service on offer would be deemed by the specific customers as of poor quality. Lovelock and Gummesson (2004) suggest that the service offer and encounter are less variable when machine-intensive technologies are utilised in service encounters since variability of the service encounter posses a great threat to the quality of service on offer. In a case where the customer successfully interacts with the technology in the service

In an ideal situation, customers would not have to wait for the delivery of products and services. However, in the real world, organizations cannot always match exact capability and demand; therefore, waiting is frequently inevitable while purchasing, especially in service marketing, as service firms can barely inventory their “stock” for sale at a later date (Lovelock, 1992, p.154). In general, waiting in lines – known as “queuing”, happens when the number of customers arrive at a facility exceeds the capability of the system to serve them (Lovelock & Wirtz, 2011, p.260). Basically, this essay will state the relationship between queuing and customer satisfaction, as well as relationship between customer satisfaction and
