Donlen Reaches 50-Year Milestone in the Fleet Industry

Founded on April 27, 1965, Donald “Don” Rappeport and Leonard “Len” Vine started a family run business focused on the growing fleet leasing and management industry. Built upon attentive customer service and revolutionary technology, they were ready to differentiate themselves in the marketplace.

Donlen is now part of the Hertz family, with over 300 full time employees, and a global reach through its various partners and Hertz global footprint. Donlen continues to build innovative fleet technology that empowers its customers to focus on their core business. Strategic consulting and dedicated customer service remains the core foundation of Donlen’s continued success.

“Donlen is proud to have reached this very important milestone in business. We have worked hard to become the innovative fleet leasing and management company we are today. ‘Innovating Fleet since 1965’ is not just a slogan; it is a state of mind that allows us to keep pushing past any boundaries for the benefit of our customers,” said Tom Callahan, Donlen President.

“In these past 50 years, Donlen has contributed countless technical advancements to the industry, and I cannot think of a better group of customers, employees, executive leaders and shareholders to spend the next 50 years with. Donlen is truly successful because of all of their contributions.”
