The American Car Rental Association (ACRA) is a formal trade organization based in Long Lake, New York, composed of rental car companies, that advocates and lobbies on behalf of the car rental industry with elected officials and consumer advocates at the federal, state and local levels of government. == History == In 1978, a number of major car rental companies and larger independent car rental owners formed a national association that would share a unified voice when representing the car rental industry at legislative hearings. The association’s goal was to represent as many voters as possible so they welcomed the smaller auto rental franchise systems and companies to join ACRA. ACRA was chartered in San Francisco, California in April 1978. The first president was Eldon Barnard. Original members included Avis, National, Budget, Alamo, Thrifty Car Rental, Enterprise, and numerous other rental car companies. Throughout the 1990s, there were many Senior Level company Executives, including some CEO’s of major rental car systems serving as president of the association. This list of distinguished industry executives included Don Himelfarb with Thrifty Car Rental, Gary Paxton with Dollar Rent A Car, Phil Schailer with Alamo Rent A Car, Sandford Miller with Budget Rental A Car, Charles Bovino with Avis Car Rental, and Wayne Kauffman with Enterprise Car Rental. ACRA is the industry voice on public policy issues facing the car rental industry. It is governed by a board of directors that represents a large cross-section of the car rental industry and acts in strict compliance with the antitrust laws. The association provides strategic media communications and consistent public “voice”. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「American Car Rental Association」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
