Summer doesn’t just bring sunshine and holiday vibes – it also presents a unique challenge for many businesses: How can you manage business travel efficiently when fleet resources are limited and many employees are away on vacation?

1. Planning & Booking

Planning ahead can be difficult during the summer. That’s why it’s even more important to be able to book vehicles at short notice – ideally online, around the clock, and without complicated steps.
Being able to instantly see which vehicles are available enables companies to act quickly and stay mobile, even when staffing is tight.

For exactly these situations, Enterprise Rent-A-Car offers corporate customers a flexible solution: vehicles can be booked easily via web, without lengthy lead times or admin-heavy processes.

2. Vehicle Delivery for Greater Flexibility

Whether it’s the office, a project site, or your home office – having the vehicle delivered to a preferred location saves both time and effort. This doesn’t just add convenience, it helps keep the workday running smoothly.

3. Transparent Cost Control

Especially during peak season, it’s crucial to stay on top of travel expenses. Digital booking platforms with clear pricing and defined rental periods help ensure budget predictability – without unwanted surprises.

4. Comfort and Reliability – Even in 30°C Heat

Long drives in summer temperatures are only manageable if the vehicle is reliable and well-equipped. Air conditioning, up-to-date safety features, and a well-maintained fleet are not just comfort factors – they also support focus and efficiency on the road.

5. Less Coordination, More Autonomy

If employees can book vehicles independently and with minimal friction, internal processes are significantly streamlined. Fewer approvals, fewer questions – and more time to focus on what really matters.

Conclusion

With the right mobility solution – ideally bookable online and with delivery to your preferred address – companies can stay flexible, productive, and ready to go, even during the summer slowdown.
