TOP DRIVER SIGNS NATIONAL DRIVER TRAINING AGREEMENT WITH ENTERPRISE FLEET SERVICES
           ENTERPRISE CUSTOMERS TO BENEFIT FROM SAFETY PARTNERSHIP
                         WITH DRIVER TRAINING LEADER

    ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Sept. 14 Top Driver, Inc.
(http://www.topdriver.com), the nation's largest and fastest growing driver
training and education company, announced today that it has entered into an
agreement with Enterprise Fleet Services, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Enterprise Rent-A-Car to be the exclusive provider of comprehensive driver
training programs for Enterprise's fleet customers on a national basis.  These
driver training programs are optional services that Enterprise plans to make
available to its customers.
    "We are extremely pleased about our alliance with Enterprise," said
Sebastian Giordano, CEO of Top Driver.  "We applaud the commitment Enterprise
has made to its clients and to driver safety.  Such driver training
initiatives will not only reduce the incidence of motor vehicle crashes and
the financial burden they cause, but more importantly, these programs will
improve the health and well-being of employees and their families."
    According to Jim Block, Assistant Vice President of Enterprise Fleet
Services, "We believe employees are the most valuable asset to any
organization.  If we can reduce employee auto accidents as a result of
improved driving skills, then it is imperative we offer a quality safety
program to all of our customers and their employees."
    Giordano believes that the statistics point to the need for ongoing driver
training, stating that, "the benefits to be derived by corporations and
employees that implement such cost-effective driver training programs are
enormous."  While motor vehicle crashes remain the leading cause of death in
the workplace, a 1995 report issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration indicated that nearly half of the $53 billion cost to corporate
America of motor vehicle crashes incurred in 1992 resulted from off-the-job
injuries to workers and their families.
    With approximately 220 driver training facilities, Top Driver is the only
driver training company to offer, on a national basis, various driver training
programs, such as novice training, defensive driving, insurance premium
reduction including special savings through MetLife Auto Insurance, traffic
violator, specialty vehicles and corporate fleet training as well as an array
of driving related products, services and information.  Top Driver is a
privately held company with headquarters located in Englewood Cliffs, New
Jersey.  For more information, please call 1.888.TOPDRIVER.
