COVID-19
Clean vehicles have always been important to us, but at this moment in time, we know vehicle cleanliness is even more critical. As a result, we have enhanced our cleaning regime to ensure each of our vehicles is treated with an antimicrobial surface coating system. This forms an invisible coating that creates an environment where viruses, like COVID-19, find it difficult to survive for up to 6 months. The protection it provides endures despite high levels of usage, which is why over the last 18 months this coating has been applied to thousands of meters of public and private spaces including airports, supermarkets, schools, gyms & UK government offices. The meticulousness of the cleaning process will continue to be backed by the ‘Complete Clean Pledge’, the increased rigor which remains in place.
Members should contact Clubhouse on 0345 266 9290 immediately. Enterprise Car Club will then enact a ‘rapid response’ protocol to isolate the vehicle, taking it out of use.
The NHS has warned that leaving your hand sanitiser in a vehicle can become a fire risk. Most hand sanitisers contain an element of alcohol which is highly flammable and when combined with high temperatures can cause a fire. For this reason, we strongly advise you take your hand sanitiser with you every time you leave a vehicle.

If you are one of our members that uses a contactless card to seamlessly access vehicles, rather than the app, we ask that you remember to let us know if that card is replaced or updated in any way. By telling us that your card has changed, we can make sure it still links to your account, opening the doors as you’d expect. You may, for example, get a new bank card through the post, or be issued with a new corporate ID card, replacing the one you previously used to access Enterprise Car Club vehicles. If this were the case, you’d need to call the Clubhouse on 0345 266 9290 and get the new card linked to your account. That way, next time you make a reservation, you only need to wave it over the windscreen card reader and the doors will open.
Vehicle Locations
Of course, this is a major benefit of being a member of Enterprise Car Club as we have the largest network of club vehicles across the UK. Members can access vehicles in any location in which we operate. Off on business? Travelling to see family and friends?

No – unfortunately this isn’t something we can permit. Enterprise Car Club’s insurance and parking permits do not extend to any vehicle parked in the designated parking space, or wider Enterprise Rent-A-Car branch, only to the specific car club vehicle. Should you leave your personal vehicle in the Car Club parking space it may get a ticket, be clamped or even towed away.
Pricing
You pay a simple hourly/daily rate for the time you reserve the vehicle plus a mileage charge which varies between vehicles and locations. We’ll take care of the breakdown cover, insurance, MOT’s, servicing, and cleaning, leaving you to just enjoy the drive. The estimated cost of your trip (less any mileage charges) will be displayed before you confirm each reservation. To give you peace of mind, our price guarantee means we charge you the daily rate if it is lower than your combined hourly rate. This daily cap will only be applied to one reservation per day.
You can find out more about our pricing and membership plans here.
The in-car computers calculate exactly how many miles have been driven during your reservation, so we can charge you accurately for your trip.
Payments will be taken from your card the morning after your reservation ends via Continuous Payment Authorisation. You can keep track of all your reservations, payments and invoices online by clicking ‘Account’ after logging in. Keeping control of your transport budget has never been easier.
We will always give you at least 14 days’ notice of any other charges to be applied to your account such as parking tickets, Congestion Charges or excess payments. You will receive an invoice at the end of each month outlining your total costs for the month passed.
You need to ensure you keep your card details up to date to avoid any account restrictions. Updating these online is simple, click on “Account” after you log in and enter your new card details. You may be required by your bank to complete a secure two factor authentication. If so, a new window will open where the additional authorisation steps must be promptly completed to confirm the update.
For further help and information on your invoice, click here
Continuous Payment Authority transactions are a form of regular payment. When you provide Enterprise Car Club with your card details you in turn are authorising us to take payments for using our service via our daily payment system.
It’s easy to keep track of your account by simply logging in and viewing your ‘Account’ area online.
If you use one of our Enterprise Cars whose bay is inside the zone, we will cover the full cost of the Congestion Charge. Vehicles based in London but located in bays outside of the Congestion Zone are now charged £15 if the car is driven in to the Congestion Zone during charging hours. Any such charges are paid by Enterprise Car Club and invoiced to the member.
Enterprise Car Club vehicles based outside of London that are driven into the zone during charging hours will need to pay the TFL Charge. For more information, click here.
You are required to directly pay the charge yourself as the vehicles are not registered with Transport for London. Failure to do so will result in TFL penalties plus an admin charge of £30.
The member is responsible for paying for all tolls, traffic or parking tickets while using an Enterprise Car Club vehicle. For more information on charges, click here.
At Enterprise Car Club you can join from the age of 19 (as long as you have had your licence for at least a year). You can join our Under 22 membership plan for just £6 a month and just pay the hourly rate and mileage fee. This varies on different locations and vehicle sizes.
Please visit your location page for more information.
All of our vehicles are equipped with a fuel card (you’ll find it inside the glovebox or on the side of the dashboard, to the right of the steering wheel). Please note this is only visible when the drivers side door is open.
Check whether the vehicle takes petrol or diesel, and fill up the vehicle as normal. After you have refuelled the vehicle, take a note of the current mileage on the dashboard, and use the fuel payment card at the payment kiosk to pay. Members will need to enter a unique 4-digit PIN when using the card at petrol stations. You’ll find the unique 4-digit pin number in the 'messages' section under your reservation information. You will have also received this information in your booking confirmation email. If you're still unable to find your pin number, please email helpdesk@enterprisecarclub.co.uk. For optimised security these codes will regularly change so please refer to this email with each new booking. Once paid, return the fuel payment card to the computer in the glovebox, or the holder on the dashboard, along with the receipt.
Please note you can not use Pay At Pump with our cards.
Please look to use standard fuel, not premium where possible.
We ask our members to return the vehicles with at least a quarter tank of fuel for the convenience of the next member.
Please note that fuel card has a limit of £80 per transaction. Numerous transactions are permitted, however there is a daily limit of £150. If you exceed this limit (even slightly) when refueling at a petrol station, you will not be able to use the card.

For further information on your invoice please click here.
There are a small number of instances where a deposit is necessary to become a member. If this applies to you, we will notify you in during the processing of your application. In the event that you haven’t been able to pay off a charge, this deposit will be used to cover the outstanding cost, and we will refund any remaining balance back to your nominated debit or credit card if possible.
For our terms and conditions relating to Deposits, please find Section 10 here.
Damage Protection
If you have a personal membership (with your own personal payment details), all of our vehicles are covered by damage protection so you do not need to take any insurance out to drive our cars or vans. Third party and passenger liability cover is in place. A damage waiver excess of £1,000 for cars & £1,250 for vans applies if you do have a bump, but you’ll only have to pay this if the accident is deemed to be your fault or a third party can’t be traced. If the repair cost is less than the applicable excess, you’ll only need to pay that amount. For more information, click here.
If you are a member of a corporate account, please check with your employer or Enterprise Car Club account manager for details about your insurance cover.
If you have any questions about our damage protection and damage waiver options please call the Clubhouse team for further details on 0345 266 9290.
Damage Waiver reduces the liability you are responsible for in the event of damage to and or theft of the vehicle, including any towing, storage and impound fees reasonably incurred by us as a result of the damage to and loss or theft of, the Vehicle. Damage Waiver is included in your reservation and comes with an excess (as standard, this amount is £1,000 for cars & £1,250 for vans, per incident). This is the money you are liable for in the event of accidental damage to, or theft of, the vehicle.
If the repair cost is less than the applicable excess, you’ll only need to pay that amount.
We give our members the option to reduce their excess for extra peace of mind. If you are 22 or over, you may be able to reduce your excess to just £100 per incident for just £150/year or £15/month*, meaning you’ll never pay more than £100 for a claim for any particular incident, we call this ‘Excess Protection’
Simply enter your member ID on this form or call the Clubhouse on 0345 266 9290.
Alternatively, you can reduce your excess for a particular reservation to £100 per incident by paying an hourly fee of £2.00/hr (up to £16.00/day)*. You can select this option at time of making your reservation.
If you are a member of a corporate account, please check with your employer or Enterprise Car Club account manager for details about your damage protection.
If you have any questions about our damage protection and damage waiver options, please call the Clubhouse team for further details on 0345 266 9290.
To cancel or change you existing excess protection plan, please contact the Clubhouse on 0345 266 9290 – choosing option 5. This phoneline is open 8am- 8pm Monday to Friday; 8am-6.30pm Saturday and 9am-6.30pm Sunday.
Please note that none of the above listed excess protection options exempt you from liability for damage caused by the use of the wrong fuel or any failure to take all reasonable measures to look after the vehicle keys or any other device which unlocks the vehicle and/or enables the vehicle to be started. Excess protection will be voided if damage is caused by: failure to secure the vehicle keys and failure to lock the vehicle, unauthorised repairs on the vehicle, failure to stop using the vehicle once a fault becomes known, use by an unauthorised driver, use by an unlicensed driver, use for hire and reward, use of vehicle for any illegal purpose or deliberately causing injury or damage to property, racing, pacemaking, or teaching someone to drive, use whilst under the influence of alcohol or drugs, use of the vehicle outside of the United Kingdom without our written permission, overloaded with more passengers than seatbelts, towing, use off road, transporting dangerous or noxious substances, use of vehicle in a reckless manner, or use of vehicle on an aerodrome, airfield, airport or military installation, or any breach of your obligations under the Enterprise Car Club member terms and conditions Enterprise Car Club member terms and conditions.
Yes. Our damage protection covers you for personal and business usage. Take a look at our ‘car clubs for business’ page to see how Enterprise Car Club could save your business money as well as being a more convenient and cost optimal travel solution. Please note, Enterprise Car Club vehicles cannot be used for Taxi purposes.
As our vehicles are all new, reliable and serviced on a regular basis, a breakdown is unlikely. However, all cars and vans are covered for breakdown and recovery assistance. In the event of a breakdown, please call our 24/7 Clubhouse line on 0345 266 9290. Please see the in-car handbook for more information and practical advice.

Driving
You can unlock the vehicle from your phone by using the Enterprise Car Club app, or by hovering your contactless card above the card reader located on the front windscreen. Through the Club House, a membership card is also available upon request, which can be used instead of a contactless card.
To get the vehicle keys, enter the PIN number you set when you created your account into the PIN pad located in the glovebox. During your reservation, make sure you lock and unlock the vehicle with the vehicle keys as you would in any other vehicle.
Click here to watch our easy guide on How to Start your Reservation.
For security reasons, we've adjusted the proximity limits between the keyless fob and the engine start/stop button in our keyless vehicles. This means that for the vehicle to detect the key, the key must be held closely to the engine start/stop button. This will allow the engine to start up.
Click here to watch our easy guide on How to Start your Reservation.
The vehicle will not start if you have not yet entered your pin into the pin-pad located in the glove box. It will also not start if you have not yet answered the question: ‘Have you checked the vehicle for damage?’ using the keypad to select either ‘yes’ or ‘no’.
These actions must be completed on the pin-pad in order to deactivate the immobiliser and allow you to start the ignition using the key. This applies to both manual keys and electronic key-fobs.
If you are still experiencing issues please call the Clubhouse on 0345 266 9290
Each Enterprise Car Club vehicle has its own designated bay. You can find details of this on the application and your confirmation booking. If the vehicle is not in the bay, then please contact the Clubhouse who can direct you to an alternative vehicle. Please call the Clubhouse on 0345 266 9290.
Don’t worry; this happens to us all, which is why we make it as easy as possible to extend your reservation.
You can extend your reservation using the app, or from within the vehicles themselves by 15-minute increments. To do so simply press menu on the PIN pad in the glovebox and follow the instructions on screen.
If in doubt, please call the clubhouse team (for free from the PIN pad) to prevent any other members being inconvenienced. If members are late or extend causing an inconvenience to another member, the below fees apply:

Absolutely – so long as the vehicle is in the bay and not out with another member you can gain early access. You can start your reservation as normal up to 5 minutes before your allocated booking time. However, if you’d like to access the vehicle earlier than that, you’ll need to more formally modify the start time of your booking. To do this on the app, go to your reservation under the ‘Reservation’ tab, and tap ‘modify’. Then where it says ‘Start’ choose the selectable 15 minute slot which holds the current time. Once you have confirmed the changes you can simply enter the vehicle there and then. Please note that you will be charged accordingly for an extended booking if you modify a reservation in this way.
You can drive your vehicle anywhere across the UK. However you must not use the vehicles, or allow them to be used, to go to countries or places outside of the mainland where your rental originated, unless we give you written permission. This means you should seek permission if you, for example, wanted to take a vehicle based on mainland England to the Isle of Wight; or a vehicle based in North Wales to Northern Ireland; or a vehicle based in England to France. To obtain prior written authorization to make such a trip please contact the from Clubhouse by clicking here.
At the end of the reservation, the vehicle must always be returned to its designated bay unless otherwise instructed by the Clubhouse. If your original bay is blocked upon your return, please contact the Clubhouse as soon as possible on 0345 266 9290.
To ensure you are not charged for any damage you have not caused, you must check the vehicle BEFORE your rental journey starts using our easy-to-use ‘Damage Evaluator’ tool. This is tool is located inside the glovebox, click here for a video on how to use the tool. If the tool indicates the damage should be reported, please email a description with time-stamped photos to CarClubDamage@ehi.com. We will then make a note on your account. If for whatever reason emailing in photos is not possible, please call the Clubhouse team on 0345 266 9290 or call for free from the in-car PIN pad – again, making sure you do so before you drive away from the vehicle’s designated parking bay.
Click here to watch our guide on How to Check the Vehicle for Damage.
Refuelling the car club vehicle is the responsibility of our members, however our members are not charged themselves; we take care of that! We do ask our members to refuel the vehicle when it drops below ¼ tank during their reservation for ease and convenience for the following member. Our members must ensure they are refuelling with the correct fuel type. You will find a fuel payment card in the glovebox or on the side of the dashboard, to the right of the steering wheel. After you have refuelled the vehicle, take a note of the current mileage on the dashboard, and use the fuel payment card at the payment kiosk to pay.Members will need to enter a unique 4-digit PIN when using the card at petrol stations. You’ll find the unique 4-digit pin number in the 'messages' section under your reservation information. You will have also received this information in your booking confirmation email. If you're still unable to find your pin number, please email helpdesk@enterprisecarclub.co.uk. For optimised security these codes will regularly change so please refer to this email with each new booking. Once paid, return the fuel payment card to the computer in the glovebox, or the holder on the dashboard, along with the receipt.
Please note that fuel card has a limit of £80 per transaction. Numerous transactions are permitted, however there is a daily limit of £150. If you exceed this limit (even slightly) when refueling at a petrol station, you will not be able to use the card. Instead you’ll be required to claim back the cost. You can do this by uploading a photograph of the fuel receipt via the “My Fuel Receipts” menu option on the app. If you are not an app user you can email the photograph to the Clubhouse helpdesk@enterprisecarclub.co.uk along with your name, member ID and booking reference.

During your reservation you are responsible for parking the vehicle legally and safely, as you would your own. Any parking fees/fines are your responsibility and need to be paid directly by yourself. You cannot park in other car club bays or leave your own vehicle in a car club bay whilst on your reservation (civil enforcement officers will think you’re blocking the bay and will decorate your vehicle with an unattractive yellow ticket – no one wants that).
Please check the Enterprise Car Club website for any parking benefits in your area. This can be found on the page designated to your location.
Yes, you can take a van to the tip/recycling centre to drop off any residential household waste.
Each local authority is different, so please make sure you check the permit requirements with your local council prior to booking the vehicle.
When it comes to cleanliness, both Enterprise and members play a role. We visit our vehicles every 10 days for cleaning. The rigour of this cleaning process is backed by the ‘Complete Clean Pledge’. In between our cleaning visits, in line with the ‘Car Club Code’, our members are responsible for leaving the vehicles clean, removing rubbish/mess, ensuring all windows are up, seats are passenger-ready etc. Given this shared responsibility for cleanliness, the level to which a vehicle is cleaned may vary. That is why we ask members to take every reasonable measure to ensure vehicles are left as they’d expect to find them. As a result, you may get into a car we have fully valeted one day, and the next you’ll use a vehicle that, since its Enterprise valet, has been used by a number of fellow members. Understanding this is part and parcel of joining a vehicle sharing club.
Bearing this in mind, if you find that a vehicle is in an unacceptable condition, please report it to the Clubhouse on 0345 266 9290 or email photos to helpdesk@enterprisecarclub.co.uk before you start your reservation. The previous renter may be liable to pay a fine and, if necessary, the cost of any specialist cleaning – click here to find out more. Similarly, please do get in touch if you have any questions about this or the wider Enterprise Car Club service.
Hopefully you will never have a bump but if you do, you only have to pay the damage waiver excess if the accident is deemed to be your fault (or a third party cannot be traced). If the repair cost is less than the applicable excess, you’ll only need to pay that amount.
If you have an accident, refer to the in-car handbook for information on what to do at the scene. If in doubt – the Clubhouse team are available on 0345 266 9290. All damage cases are handled by a dedicated damage recovery unit. To contact the damage recovery unit about an accident, please email dru.uk9z@ehi.com.
You must also report any traffic accident which includes personal injury, loss, damage or theft to the police. The police reference number allocated must be provided to Enterprise Car Club. You must not admit liability or guilt in the event of an accident or promise to pay any third party or attempt any repair. Please see the in-car handbook for more information and practical advice.
To ensure our members with pet allergies stay safe driving our vehicles, we ask you not to transport animals in our cars/vans.
If you need to travel with a service animal, please contact the Clubhouse team so we can discuss your needs. Our number is 0345 266 9290 or email us at helpdesk@enterprisecarclub.co.uk.
In the event of a breakdown, flat tyre or other problem, call us immediately so we can dispatch our 24 hour roadside assistance.
If the car club bay is blocked when you return the vehicle, please contact the Clubhouse on 0345 266 9290 who will advise you on a safe and legal location to park the vehicle.
The vehicle must always be parked in a safe and legal location. Any penalty charge notice (PCN) obtained as a result of illegal parking will be the responsibility of the member.
Yes, at the end of your reservation you must return the vehicle to the same bay that you picked it up from.
Covid-19: Enhanced cleaning protocols are in place at this time. Find out more here.
Once you have turned the engine off, simply open the glove box and place the key fob which is attached to the keys, in to the in-car pin pad and follow the on-screen prompts. Once completed and you have collected all of your belongings, simply lock the car by holding your contactless card over the contactless pad on the windscreen, or alternatively using our mobile app.
The mobile app will not allow you to lock the vehicle over the booking time – in this instance, please use a contactless card. Once you had heard the car lock please check the doors to make sure they are locked before leaving.

If you have any issues with any stage of this process, please give the Clubhouse a call on 0345 266 9290 whilst you are still with the vehicle and one of the team will be able to assist you.
Yes, it’s important that the vehicle is placed back on charge at the end of your hire. Once the engine is switched off please follow the instructions inside the vehicle which will guide you through ending your reservation and placing it back on charge.
Failure to put the vehicle on charge at the end of your reservation can impact the next user as there may not be enough charge for them to complete their journey or even use it all. If you have any issues please give the Clubhouse a call on 0345 266 9290.
Failure to put the vehicle back on charge may result in a staff call out to resolve which could result in a £30.00 fine.

If you, are one of those members that uses a contactless card to seamlessly access vehicles, rather than the app, we ask that you remember to let us know if that card is replaced or updated in any way. That way, we can make sure it still links to your account, opening the doors as you’d expect. You may, for example, get a new bank card through the post, replacing one you previously used to access Enterprise Car Club vehicles. If this were the case, you’d need to call the Clubhouse and get the new card linked to your account. That way, next time you make a reservation, you only need to wave it over the windscreen card reader and the doors will open.
Lever Parking Brake (for Manual Vehicles)
Release the handbrake by pushing the button located at the top of the lever down and lowering it to a horizontal position. Pressing the button while pulling the lever upwards will re-engage the handbrake.
Foot Parking Brake (for Automatic Vehicles)
This is only relevant to automatic vehicles, where a small foot pedal will be located to the left of the brake pedal instead of a standard handbrake lever. To use this type of parking brake, press firmly on the footbrake pedal to release it whilst holding down the brake pedal and clutch. Repeat this action to re-engage it.
Electric Parking Brake (for Electric Vehicles)
This is only relevant to electric vehicles. To release the parking brake, press firmly on the brake pedal and simultaneously hold down the electric ‘P’ switch located on the centre console. To re-engage it, use the brake pedal as before and pull the electric ‘P’ switch upwards.

If you reserve a vehicle for 5 hours but only use it for 3.5 hours, you are still charged for the whole reservation. This is because the vehicle is unavailable to other members during your reservation.
We advise you are realistic as possible when making a reservation as to avoid unnecessary costs.
Of course! You may cancel a reservation at any time.
If you cancel more than 5 hours in advance of your booking then you won't be charged. However, if you cancel within 5 hours of its start time you will be liable for the cost of the reservation up to a maximum of £30.00.
If you change or shorten a reservation (including cancelling a reservation after the start time) you may be charged up to the full cost of the reservation. For more information on our charges, click here.
If you've made a reservation using our app, you can find your fuel card pin number in the 'messages' section under your reservation information. You will have also received this information in your booking confirmation email.
If you're still unable to find your pin number, please email helpdesk@enterprisecarclub.co.uk.
To start your first reservation you simply need to make sure you have the Enterprise Car Club app downloaded on your mobile device. Once logged into your account on the app you can then use the 'unlock and start trip' button to start your reservation.
For Business
Enterprise Car Club saves hundreds of businesses all over the country time and money by replacing expensive and time-consuming company cars, taxi and grey fleet with almost instant access to hundreds of vehicles nationwide. Say goodbye to processing mileage and expenses claims, arranging safety checks for grey fleet and reserving taxis – just reserve online, unlock and go.
Enterprise Car Club is a great compliment to an existing travel policy, especially if you have a lot of short duration (1-2 day) trips. Car club, or automated rental, is often more convenient and has a lower cost per journey compared to some daily rental programmes. In fact with Enterprise Car Club, we can also provide a dedicated booking tool; ETD, that will tell your employees when Car Club is the best choice and book it for them right there and then
Once your business account has been set up, we will then contact the drivers you would like adding to the account. You then receive one monthly invoice which details all reservations by driver. Simple.
Larger businesses can benefit from our bespoke solutions – take a look at our business page or contact us here.
When it comes to reserving and accessing our vehicles there is very little difference.
Business membership typically includes several employees and can sometimes attract discounted membership and usage charges especially where the account requires dedicated support from an Enterprise Car Club account manager.

Policy: When Enterprise Holdings receives such a safety recall notice and the corresponding Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs), it is Enterprise Holding’s policy to not rent such vehicles until the manufacturer’s specified remedy or authorized interim repair has been implemented.
Process: After receiving the safety recall notice, Enterprise Holdings identifies affected vehicles by VIN and then places a “mandatory hold” on them in our rental management system. This “hold” directs the recall work be completed before renting the vehicle. Sometimes manufacturers advise that certain recalled vehicles can be safely operated once an authorized interim repair has been completed. In such cases, Enterprise Holdings may rent vehicles after the interim repair has been completed – but only until the final remedy is available.
In September 2021, the standard petrol grade in Great Britain changed to E10. All petrol Car Club Vehicles can accept this fuel, and there are no changes to the way that the in vehicle fuel card is used.
If you arrive at our vehicle and find that it is in an unacceptable condition of cleanliness, please let the Clubhouse team know BEFORE you drive by calling 0345 266 9290 or call for free from the in-car PIN pad.
If you cannot get through on the phone, it is imperative that you take a time stamped image on your mobile device. Please then email the photos to helpdesk@enterprisecarclub.co.uk.
Driving credit is a non-transferable monetary discount that would be applied to your rental invoice. It is important to note that in most instances, especially where driving credit is awarded as part of a new member enrolment offer or other promotion, it can be used only against the hourly/daily vehicle rental charges. It does not discount the per mile fee (mileage).
Driving credit can either be added to your account by the Clubhouse team or awarded as part of a promotional initiative (for example a new member enrolment offer, driving incentive or as a ‘thank you’ for participating in a survey). Please be aware that driving credit can take time to be applied to your account if part of a promotional initiative (it may be applied up to 14 days after the end of the promotional period). Please refer to the terms and conditions of the specific promotion to best understand these timings.
In order to be kept up to date on when Enterprise Car Club are running promotional initiatives where you may obtain free driving credit, make sure you are opted-into receiving marketing messages by completing this form.
Driving Credit does not appear on the rental estimate when you reserve a vehicle as our system is waiting for the vehicle to be physically driven before it applies the value against the hourly rental of the vehicle.
However, Driving Credit will show within your member’ s account balance which you can access online here. Once you have logged on, go to ‘New Reservation’ where Driving Credits can be seen on the bottom left. Alternatively, the tab ‘My Account’ shows under ‘Invoices’ available driving credits.
Once you have booked and used a vehicle within the time limit set out in your terms and conditions, the driving credit will be automatically applied to the first qualifying reservation within this set time period. For example, if you get £10 driving credit added to your account on March 1st set to expire after 30 days, to take advantage of the driving credit, you must reserve a car or van and drive it by March 31st. The driving credit will be deducted once you end driving an Enterprise vehicle for the first time within the 30 days.
Yes. The difference in driving credit will be stored on your account until the assigned expiry date. So, if you do not use it at once, do not worry, you will be still available to redeem it the next time you drive, provided you book and drive a vehicle in the set-out time period.
Depending on which promotion you have earned it through, driving credit is typically valid for 30-90 days although there are some exceptions. To confirm how long your driving credit is valid for, please refer to the promotional terms and conditions from which you received this credit.
Please note that most driving credit earned through new annual membership expires after 90 days. Exceptions to this is driving credit acquired through Clubhouse for goodwill or through government funded mobility schemes who get longer expiry dates.
The Clubhouse team are aware of the free “relayuk app” and service which can provide a way to assist hearing impaired members requiring assistance.
Yes, we have lots of members who use the service using their own child seats and/or boosters. The member concerned is responsible for the appropriate selection and safe installation of the equipment in the vehicle, and its removal at the end of their booking. Please visit https://www.gov.uk/child-car-seats-the-rules for more information.
Electric Vehicles
The Nissan LEAF has an e-pedal which allows the driver to start, accelerate, decelerate and stop using only the accelerator pedal. This means it is perfect for stop and start traffic driving. The e-Pedal is activated and deactivated by a switch in the centre console.
Check out this video for more information on the e-Pedal.
Please check the brand of charge card provided with your vehicle to see which charge points are available for you to use. You can then check out Zapmap, Ecotricity, Charge Your Car or Google Maps to locate your nearest applicable charging post; perfect for pre-planning your pit stops!
We cover the cost of recharging our electronic vehicles (EV). All of our electronic vehicles are equipped with a charging card (you’ll find it inside the glovebox). Some charge points may be free to use. However, please be aware that you will still be charged for mileage.
The vehicles driving range all depends upon your own personal driving style. Here's how you can increase your driving range:
1. Maintain a steady speed.
2. Choose routes which are flatter - even if they are longer.
3. Use less heating and air conditioning.
4. Heat up or cool down your car before your journey, while it is still plugged into the mains.
If the EV charging point does not have a tethered (attached) cable, the cable belongs to the Electric Vehicle you are unplugging. It is important to always take this cable with you once you have taken the vehicle off charge as the cable belongs to the car and not the charging point. Please note that every Electric Vehicle has its own cable, so always check that one is stowed correctly under the rear floor storage cover in the boot compartment before setting off (for more information, follow the instructions in the guide which you will find inside each vehicle). If you lose or damage the cable beyond use, please report it immediately to our Clubhouse team at membership@enterprisecarclub.co.uk or phone them on 0345 266 9290

The charge card is kept inside the car and can be found in the glovebox. We recommend that the card remains there when not in use to help ensure it does not go missing during your reservation. They are expensive to replace so please make sure it is present at the end of your reservation.

Below shows the approximate times to charge our electric vehicles. Please note that the times shown are only a guide as our electric vehicles will rarely be charged from 0%. Other factors that vary the charge time include ambient temperature, in-vehicle energy loads, any upper and lower charge restrictions to extend battery life and protect against potential damage, and charging rates slowing down as the maximum charge is reached.
Rapid 50kW – Approximately 0-80% in 40 minutes
Fast 22kW – Approximately 0-100% in 6 hours
Fast 7kW – Approximately 0-100% in 6 hours
Slow 3kW – Approximately 0-100% in 14 hours
The Enterprise Car Club booking system displays the battery percentage and mileage range information for all of our Electric Vehicles. While on charge, the battery readings will update every 15 minutes. While NOT on charge, the values will update every hour. The vehicle will not update while being driven. Please note that the readings are estimates. The true range will depend on drive style.
You can view the battery percentage and mileage range levels on the app and desktop when reserving our Electric Vehicles. You will see the vehicles battery percentage under the vehicle information section. Additionally, you can look for your battery percentage on the dashboard of the vehicle where the fuel gauge is.
We have a set of vehicle guides which can be found here. If the vehicle you are looking for does not appear in this list, or you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact the Clubhouse on 0345 266 9290.
