National Reservations make reservations according to how it is listed on a screen. At the airport branches, we would call NATRES and tell them to raise rates or lower rates, or sell out on certain types of cars such as mini vans or luxury cars. Most of the local branches don't access national reservations and their area manager does avaibility for them. As an area manager, they want to see as many deals as possible, if the demand is there, they can grow their fleet, creating more income. An area manger also considers the amount of cars in an area that he/she controls, not for the specific branch. The employees at the specific branch are sometimes left scampering for cars from other branches because of internet or national reservations that have been made and nobody changed the avaibility status.

Airport locations have a special division of Enterprise called Fleet Utilization. They shop competition, raise and lower rates in order to get a certain % of cars on the road. They normally don't take into consideration of shop cars and sale cars. They mostly go by fleet size. This can be over rided by the branch to raise or lower rates in order to get certain typs of vehciles on the road. Such as trucks or mini vans to get them on the road.
