What is Enterprise Rent-A-Car?

Enterprise Rent-A-Car is a global vehicle rental service company that offers a wide selection of vehicles to travelers or those who need a short-term vehicle.

Drivers can find an Enterprise rental location in most major airports and other locations throughout the country. If you use rental cars regularly, you can subscribe to Enterprise and take advantage of benefits such as access to a range of vehicles and insurance, maintenance and roadside assistance for just one monthly payment. Subscribing with Enterprise also lets you swap out vehicles up to four times in a month.

From compact sedans to minivans, trucks and luxury cars, Enterprise makes it easy to reserve, rent and return rental cars across the country.

How does Enterprise work?

The first step in renting a car through Enterprise is the reservation process. As you browse its online inventory of rental cars, you’re asked to input information such as:

  • The type of car you want
  • Pickup location
  • Drop off location
  • Pickup/drop off dates
  • Additional coverage options
  • Added features (car seats, GPS, snow chains)

Once you’ve input this information, Enterprise will produce a list of vehicles that meet your needs.

Picking up the car
Once you’ve made your reservation, pick up your rental car on the predetermined date at an Enterprise location. An agent helps you locate the car on the property and do a walkthrough to take note of any damages or issues with the car before you take it. After signing some paperwork, you’re free to take the car for your agreed-upon rental.
Additional options
During the reservation process, you will sign a damage waiver that covers minor damage to the rental car such as scratches or dents. This is an optional protection plan, but any minor damages to the rental car will come out of pocket if you choose not to sign a damage waiver.

Drivers can also add personal accident insurance or personal effects coverage at the time of their rental for an additional daily charge. These insurances are optional, and the cost varies based on the location where you are renting the car.

If you are worried about losing your keys, running out of gas, or getting locked out of your car, you can add roadside assistance protection to your reservation so that you aren't charged out of pocket for these roadside incidents.

Returning the car
When it is time to return the car, drive it to the predetermined drop off location. During drop off, an Enterprise agent will perform a walk-through inspection again to ensure the car has not been damaged.

The agent will also check that the car has been refueled. If you choose not to fill up the gas tank, you will be charged the company’s gas rate, which is usually more expensive than the local pump price. If you are picking up a rental car at the airport, you can prepay for fuel, which lets you return the car without worrying about filling it up.

If you need your rental car for a few days longer, you can call the Enterprise location and ask if the car is available for an extension. There are no penalties for returning your car early, but you can only return your car to a non-airport location during business hours. Enterprise locations within the airport usually allow returns after hours.

How to rent a car with Enterprise

To secure a rental car, you must have a valid driver’s license and an acceptable form of payment and meet the rental location’s minimum age requirements. Most rental locations set their minimum driver age at 25 but may allow drivers between 21 and 24 to rent a car with a “youthful driver surcharge” of $20 a day. You will also be required to put down a deposit that varies by location.

Enterprise car rental price

The cost of your rental car depends on a variety of factors, including how long you have the car, what type of car you choose, your rental location and any insurance or additional products you select. Below are a few examples of the most common types of rental car selections and the cost for a week.

VehicleCost
Pickup truck (Ford F-150 or similar)$269 a week
Economy car (Mitsubishi Mirage or similar)$186 a week
Compact car (Nissan Versa or similar)$186 a week
Standard car (Volkswagen Jetta or similar)$196 a week
Compact SUV (Ford EcoSport or similar)$230 a week
Standard SUV (Ford Edge or similar)$256 a week
Luxury car (Cadillac XTS or similar)$282 a week
Premium SUV (Chevy Suburban or similar)$464 a week
Luxury elite SUV (Land Rover Discovery or similar)$468 a week

Other costs to consider when renting a car include local taxes, damage waivers, accident insurance, roadside protection and additional equipment, such as car seats or a GPS.

Enterprise FAQ

What does Enterprise car rental insurance cover?

    I recently rented from Enterprise in Richmond BC, Canada. After trying to rent an economy car from Hertz/Thrifty/Dollar in my neighbourhood in Vancouver only to be bluntly told that they only had minivans for rent (really? Three different companies under the same roof and that's the best you can do?). No explanation, no apology, no offer to try and find something suitable. I left, and crossed the bridge into Richmond to try Enterprise.

    What a totally different experience! The staff were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. They apologized for keeping me waiting for five minutes. Although they didn't have any economy cars right at the moment they upgraded me to a compact, which turned out to be a beautiful Hyundai Kona with only 7000k on it and more options than I've ever seen. I wasn't sure how many days I would need it for but it wasn't a problem to renew the rental twice; I went back to the office both times but they said I could have just phoned them. Everyone I dealt with was wonderful. Special thanks to Rahul for all his help. Will rent there again without hesitation.

    Thanks for your vote!

    I'm not big on writing reviews for services rendered. I believe that if you're being paid to do a job, you should always do your best. But when someone goes above and beyond the call of duty. That person should be recognized and applauded. While traveling with my son to a college he's entrusted in attending. I rented a vehicle from Enterprise for the trip. The first car we chose had a strong smell of cigarette smoke. So we changed to another vehicle. In doing so, I left a valuable over coat which belonged to my brother who was allowing me to borrow it for the trip. I didn't realize the coat was missing until the next morning.

    I had no way of tracing it because I didn't rent the vehicle the coat was left in. I did everything I could to recover it. I made phone calls, filed a report, everything up to and including having my brother return to the airport to speak with the staff on duty. Everyone he spoke with did what they could to recover the coat. But Mary, turned over every stone until it was found. Words can't describe how much I appreciate Mary's efforts. Her willingness to go the extra mile is the true definition of customer service. Thank you! Mary, you're a wonderful person and a great employee."6 STARS".

      So I had already reserved or at least I was under the impression that I had reserved a mini van for a trip to Florida. But when I arrived for my rental car there were no mini vans available…Mind you this was the weekend of Valentine’s Day but Lucas W. gave his all to find one for me but it just didn’t happen. So I ended up driving a standard SUV with my 75 yo mother, 2 sisters, son and two granddaughters 4 and 5yo all the way to Florida. Let’s just say it was the most uncomfortable journey I have ever been on. Lucas W had tried to find me a van even after I had gotten to Florida but nothing still! I truly want to thank h for his efforts! Well it was time to go back to Ohio, and that was after going to the airport trying to find still find a van.

      We were a bit disappointed but stayed positive! And as we were leaving to get on the road I spotted an Enterprise rental on the road and decided to stop and see if they had a van. And after I told Frankie A at the Margate Fl, rental location my story he was able to find me a van he had there on site. It made everyone in my family so happy we shed tears as we swapped vehicles! I want to thank both Frankie A. and Lucas W. for all the great help and customer service/support! God Bless them both!

      Friends on 3/4/26 I had an opportunity to rent a van for a transportation of family members. From the time of my arrival to van return Mr. La' kel ** Branch Manager of the Concord, NC Facility assist myself with the rental and formality. A family member death is not easy to cope with, and yet Mr. ** and his team moved with such professionalism that for a few minutes we were able to smile in the misted of a trial and tribulation. When I assess the office the atmosphere it represented the very character of Mr. **. Motivated, dedicated, and professional.

      I spent 17 yrs in the Army and now a Pastor, and I recognize good leaders when it's expressed. Based upon the leadership in that facility, it's stems from a great reflection upon Mr. ** and Enterprise corporate office. I'd highly recommend Mr ** through enterprise create a a program that projects the skills of engagement and customer service and promote him and his team over the course to teach others. Good people are out there, yet the ones with leadership skills are rare to find. I learned as a pastor that you can tell them by their fruits. Thanks again. Pastor Mark **.

      I rented a car at ST. Thomas, Virgin Islands. Staff was excellent and friendly! Only complaint I had was that the windshield would never come clean. I tried cleaning it several times. Nothing worked on either the inside or the outside of window. The washer fluid tank was empty, so I put in some fluid. However, the pump itself didn't work. This is a great safety concern as the roads on St. Thomas are very narrow and if the sun shown in the windshield, I would come close to a complete stop as I couldn't see oncoming traffic. Nighttime driving was extremely hazardous with lights of oncoming cars making it almost impossible to see through the "haze and smears" on the glass.

      I am reporting a bad business practice of Enterprise Rent-A-Car company that tries to collect an additional 75% of rental contract amount without any reasonable explanation. I had an agreement with Enterprise to rent a midsize SUV Nissan Rogue at Houston Hobby airport (HOU) on 11/27/2025 and return the car at Dallas Love Field Airport (DAL) on 12/02/2025 for $519.99. I received the agreement via email after requesting to modify the original 3-day round trip rental to 5-day one way trip from HOU to DAL. Please see the attached e-mail.

      I did everything according to the agreement and paid $519.99 on 12/02/2025. After more than a month, on 01/11/2026, Enterprise charged my credit card an additional $389.04. I contacted Enterprise 5 times. Every time the Enterprise Specialist assured me that a manager would call me and explain the reason for the additional charge. The manager never called. I initiated a chargeback and the money was returned to my account. Now they are trying to collect $389.04 claiming that it was “an unauthorized drop off at Dallas Love Field” even though in fact the agreement contained Dallas Love Field as a return location.

      I am getting phone calls, emails and letters from Enterprise Consumer Collections requesting additional to the contract $389.04 and it started affecting my credit scores. To my surprise, Enterprise leadership claims it has no power to influence unprofessional and rude Houston Hobby location management and make them act according to the agreement. After I sent a copy of the agreement (as a proof that DAL was a return location) to Enterprise Customer Service, I received the following response: “As this decision was made at the highest level for the location, we’re unable to adjust or reverse the final charges or close the balance as requested.” It is hard to believe that Enterprise thinks that it is OK to charge an additional 75% of a contract amount with no reasonable explanation when a client does everything according to the contract.

      I rented a vehicle from the Ashtabula, Ohio Enterprise location on September 24, 2025. While an Enterprise employee was bringing the vehicle from another location, he was caught speeding on camera. The municipality sent a $150.00 speeding ticket to Enterprise which then charged my credit card. In December 2025 the Ashtabula manager admitted it was their mistake and supposedly submitted for a credit to my card. After months of phones calls I still do not have a credit. I will never rent from any of Enterprise's locations ever again.

      I've been a customer with Enterprise since 2012, and this location on Stan Schlueter in Killeen, Texas consistently provides the slowest and poorest customer service every time I rent from them, which has been at least 1-2 times a month. Even with completing online check-in means nothing. I still have to wait a minimum of 30 minutes to an hour for a car. They work slow, plans poorly for scheduled reservations, and waiting for a car to be detailed when they know what time reservations are scheduled is unacceptable.

      This can be frustrating when you have business trips and have a certain time to be at your destination. This is very poor management considering that reservations are made to allow them time for them to plan accordingly to have the car ready. As a long time customer I don't experience this with any other locations
