Enterprise Rent-A-Car to expand

US company Enterprise Rent-a-Car is set to create 40 new jobs over the next few months as part of an expansion of its business in Ireland.

The company is also looking for a further 15 part time positions and up to 30 Intern positions.

The rental company currently employs 120 full time staff and over 50 part time workers in its 22 branches across Ireland.

The company set up operations in Ireland 16 years ago, with just 10 cars.

"We are delighted, sixteen years later, that we are continuing our expansion with year on year growth for the past number of years. We now have over 3,000 cars and vans on the road and we will employ 160 people by the end of the year in a full time capacity," managing director George O’Connor said.
