Enterprise owns Alamo and National. They have a 'partnership' with Europcar as well.
As far as I know, they do NOT own Hertz and I would be very surprised if they intend to do that....

The major rental car companies in the US, with each company's primary market in parentheses:
Hertz Global Holdings: Hertz (business) - Advantage (downmarket/leisure)
Avis Budget Group: Avis (business) - Budget (downmarket/leisure)
Enterprise Holdings: Enterprise (local/insurance replacement) National(business), Alamo (leisure)
Dollar-Thrifty Automotive Group**: Dollar (leisure) Thrifty (business)
Independents:
-ACE Rent a Car
-Payless Car Rental
-Rent-a-Wreck (downmarket)
**Dollar-Thrifty has takeover bids by both Hertz and Avis Budget, so they will likely be absorbed into one of the two in the near to mid future.

Also, Avis recently bought Payless. I've created and updated the wiki accordingly.
