Enterprise Holdings Irish subsidiary has completed the acquisition of Dublin based Walker Vehicle Rentals following approval from regulatory authorities in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Enterprise will now look to integrate the businesses to create one of Ireland’s largest and most diverse commercial vehicle rental companies with a combined fleet of more than 1,900 vehicles.


Once integrated, the business will operate as part of Enterprise’s commercial vehicle division, Enterprise Flex-E-Rent. Its customer base, which includes local authorities and companies in the logistics, waste and food industries, will benefit from greater choice, flexible funding options and proprietary technology platforms. In time, the Walker Vehicle Rental depots in Dublin, Cork, Wexford, Limerick and Antrim will be rebranded as Enterprise Flex-E-Rent locations.

Enterprise Holdings, Managing Director for the UK & Ireland, Ryan Johnson, said, “We’re delighted to formally welcome all 70 Walker Vehicle Rentals’ employees into the Enterprise family. We can now look to integrate the businesses with the help of the existing Walker Vehicle Rentals management team to create the leading commercial vehicle business in Ireland that provides its customers with the very best choice, value and service.”

Ryan added, “This agreement allows us to expand our commercial vehicle business significantly and is complementary to our existing Enterprise Rent-A-Car branch network and recently launched Enterprise Car Club service. It also illustrates our commitment to grow our business in Ireland through investment, diversification and the introduction of additional mobility services.”

In addition to its commercial vehicle division, Enterprise operates 24 Enterprise Rent-A-Car branch locations throughout Ireland, which are managed by more than 200 employees. Just two months ago, the company also launched its Enterprise Car Club service to provide flexible, short-term, and sustainable car rental options to residents, commuters, and visitors across Ireland.
