What is a Car Club?
Enterprise's Car Club allows you to book a car at any time day or night, for as little as 30 minutes, to a few hours, an overnight visit or a weekend away. What’s more the costs of insurance, fuel, servicing, tax and MOT are all covered in one payment, which means you’ll only ever pay for a car when you need it.
So, if you want to use a car for days outs and shopping trips, but don't want to commit to the expense and hassle of car ownership then Enterprise's Car Club is perfect for you.

How does the Car Club work?
Join Enterprise's Car Club in three easy steps:
- Sign up and select your location. Once approved, you’ll be able to get on the road using the mobile app. You can then select any one of Enterprise's vehicles and pick your reservation start/end times. You’re able to reserve vehicles in advance or on the go.
- Answer the on-screen questions shown as prompted to on the mobile app. As part of the prompts, you will be asked if you have checked the vehicle for damage. Conduct a thorough check using the damage evaluator tool, which is located in the glovebox, and report any damage with images to [email protected]. This will ensure that you are not held accountable for any potential pre-existing damage to the vehicle.
- Once you've finished your journey, return the vehicle to the pick up location and use your app to lock the vehicle for the final time. If you need a little extra time you can extend the reservation from the vehicle itself via the app.
