ARE or better known as Auto Rental ETC was founded over 20 years ago, and started out with a fleet of just a few vehicles. ARE is one of very few successful independently owned rental car companies in the country. In 2015 the Lafayette based rental car company was acquired by DW Investments and has quickly grown operations into new markets all over Louisiana.
