In 1965, ES Autovermietung GmbH was founded in Bremen by Heinz Detjen as Europa Service Autoverleih and later renamed. In 1988 the company Unix Rent GmbH & Co. KG was founded in Wiesbaden . Six years later, in 1994, the two companies merged to form RC Rental Cooperation GmbH & Co. Autovermietung KG. For the first time, the company is acting as a single customer for the automotive industry. The resulting high purchase quantities led to greatly improved purchasing conditions for the affiliated licensees. In 1997 the company was converted into a stock corporation. The name was later changed to Europa Service Autovermietung. Since 2013, Europa Service Autovermietung with its subsidiaries Starcar, Starcar Mobility, AutoHopper Deutschland, Drive-CarSharing, Europa Service rent a car and others has been managed by the three board members Jens Erik Hilgerloh, Detlef Kehler and Markus Hoff.
