NEW YORK -- According to the new Luxury Customer Experience Index survey LCEI from the New York-based Luxury Institute Hertz edged out Enterprise Rent-a-Car as the top-rated car rental provider as rated and ranked by their own high net worth customers.

Avis placed third.

High net worth customers rated 10 of the nations largest car rental firms based on their direct individual experiences.

These included: Advantage Rent-a-Car, Alamo Rent-a-Car, Avis Rent-a-car, Budget Rent-a-car, Dollar, Enterprise Rent-a-car, Europcar, Hertz, National Car Rental, and Thrifty Rent-a-car.

It is a very close contest between Hertz and Enterprise in a category that has great diversity in brand strengths not seen in most categories, said Milton Pedraza, CEO of the Luxury Institute.

Among wealthy consumers, Hertz and Enterprise are rated almost equally on critical experience drivers, but each brand achieves its score based on different strengths.

Hertz does the best job of delivering on the core car rental promise, while Enterprise has the people who are most enthusiastic, courteous and trustworthy.

Advantage was rated highest on delivering the most pleasing and organized environment, while Alamo had the least incidence of problems, and Advantage was also rated as most responsive.

If one brand could get all the fundamentals right, it would be a runaway success.

Interestingly, Advantage is rated by its high net worth customers as most worthy of a price premium, while its wealthy customers rate Hertz tops in customer retention and Enterprise is rated best in customer referral.

High net worth consumers are the best customers of car panies for business and pleasure.
