ST. LOUIS -

Enterprise Holdings plans to expand its offerings via two acquisitions it announced today.

Operating primarily in the Brooklyn borough of New York, AllCar Rent-a-Car and the car-sharing service Carpingo, brands formerly owned by Citiwide Auto Leasing Inc., will be added to the Enterprise portfolio.

Gil Cygler, Citiwide’s president, says he was drawn by Enterprise’s similar business foundation.

“As a family-owned company, we sought a business partner that shared our values,” Cygler said. “We respect Enterprise’s commitment to customer service and enhancing the communities in which it operates. I know our customers will be in good hands.”

AllCar, a neighborhood car rental provider, was founded in 1979 by Cygler’s father, Samuel, when he began renting cars to customers who needed a temporary vehicle while their own was being repaired at his service station. Cygler helped develop the AllCar brand after college in both New York and nationwide.

Cygler also sits on the board of directors of the American Car Rental Association.

According to the release, terms of the transaction were not disclosed. As part of the acquisition, all eight AllCar Brooklyn branch offices will discontinue operations and customers will be served by nearby Enterprise Rent-A-Car locations.

Carpingo members will transition to the Enterprise CarShare program during the summer and will be granted access to Enterprise car-sharing services in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx and parts of New Jersey.
