National Car Rental's Premier Selection to Feature Maserati Ghibli S Q4

Customers Granted Special Access to the New Luxury Sports Sedan at Select Airport Locations

ST. LOUIS -- Nov. 6, 2014: National Car Rental is featuring the all-new Maserati Ghibli S Q4 in its "Premier Selection" – a special section of the rental lot where customers can choose upscale vehicle nameplates. The Ghibli, Maserati's first-ever midsize four-door luxury sports sedan, is now available at 10 National airport locations in Boston, Fort Lauderdale, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Nashville, Orlando, Phoenix, Raleigh-Durham, San Diego and Seattle.

"The selection of upscale vehicles offered through National's Premier Selection allows our customers an opportunity to choose from a wide array of luxurious driving experiences," said Rob Connors, assistant vice president of brand marketing, National Car Rental. "Through our work with Maserati, one of the most premium vehicle manufacturers in the world, we are able to provide National customers with another high-end upgrade option for their next rental."

The high performance All Wheel Drive version Ghibli S Q4 is powered by a Ferrari-built twin-turbo V6 engine capable of over four hundred horsepower. The Ghibli S Q4 also features an 8-speed automatic transmission and large Brembo brakes to provide enhanced stopping power. Standard features include keyless entry, push button starting, Poltrona Frau leather, sunroof, navigation, eight-way power front seats with heating, dual zone automatic climate control and more. Enterprise Holdings, owner and operator of the National Car Rental, Enterprise Rent-A-Car and Alamo Rent A Car brands, is the exclusive rental car company to offer the Ghibli at the ten National Premier Selection locations as well as at select Enterprise Exotic Car Collection locations.

"We designed the all-new Ghibli S Q4 to combine sports car verve with the elegance of a luxury sedan," says Peter Grady, president and CEO of Maserati North America, Inc. "As Maserati is now an offering among National's Premier Selection, even the most discerning travelers will have access to one of the most coveted sports sedans on the market."

Consistent with the National brand's commitment to providing speed, choice and control to time-sensitive frequent airport travelers, Premier Selection vehicles are clearly marked so customers can easily identify and upgrade their rental without ever visiting the rental counter. National launched the Premier Selection last year with input from road warriors, including members of its award-winning Emerald Club loyalty program.
