Is Enterprise Good for Business Travel?

Is this you? ›
By Rachel Julian, Editor-in-Chief · · 3 min read

What Enterprise commits to a business traveler in writing, scored on the Curb-to-Client Index — the biggest name, measured on the published record.

Direct answer: Enterprise scores 53/100 on the Curb-to-Client Index — rank #8 of 8, below the field average of 67. It commits, in writing, most strongly on a mix of the five dimensions, and least on access (skip the counter). The score reflects published commitments only, not any single property’s execution. The service-culture giant commits to almost nothing in writing — no skip program, no aisle, no published holds. The counter IS the product.

Enterprise is the category’s biggest name — which is exactly why what it commits to in writing is worth checking. Here is its Curb-to-Client score against the field.

The read

The service-culture giant commits to almost nothing in writing — no skip program, no aisle, no published holds. The counter IS the product.

A score is the floor Enterprise will put its name to — what you can plan on before you book. It does not grade the execution at any one property on the night; use it to set expectations, then verify the specific location.
