While many stars shone bright at the 2025 Travvy Awards, one of the night's biggest highlights was the car rental industry's success.

During the 11th annual Travvy Awards, which took place on November 6 at the Greater Fort Lauderdale Broward County Convention Center, the Northstar Travel Group’s TravelPulse.com and AGENTatHOME presented a series of awards to the top car rental companies.

In the domestic car rental category, Enterprise Rent-A-Car took home the gold statuette, Hertz the silver, and Avis Budget Group rounded out the top three with a bronze Travvy Award.

As for the car rental companies that thrived in the international markets, Hertz earned the top prize and took home the gold, while Enterprise finished second in the voting, and Sixt earned its first award of the night.

Hertz also took home the gold statuette in the best overall car rental category, followed by Enterprise earning the silver and Avis Budget Group winning its second bronze of the night.

"Looking around at the industry leaders gathered here, it’s clear that travel has entered a new golden age defined by boldness and relentless quality," remarked Eric Bowman, Editor-in-Chief of TravelPulse. "The 11th Annual Travvy Awards is a sacred moment for us—a chance to truly spotlight the companies, destinations, and people who aren't just meeting demand, but elevating the entire experience.”

“Their commitment to excellence, innovation, and service is the engine driving our passion, and these trophies represent the highest honor that our readers—the travel advisors—can bestow,” Bowman concluded.

The award ceremony has become an important part of the industry, thanks to the winners being selected by travel advisors and agents. Over 300 Travvy statuettes were handed out to the winning destinations, hotels/resorts, cruise lines, tour operators, and car rental companies that delivered the highest quality experiences.
