Enterprise has over 10,000 locations worldwide, with the majority in the United States, Canada, and Europe
Enterprise operates more rental locations than any other car rental company in North America. Most of their branches are in neighborhood and off-airport settings rather than at terminals, which means you'll often find one closer to home or work than you would a Hertz or Avis counter. The exact number of locations changes as the company opens and closes branches, but you can search their current network by zip code or city on their website.
Enterprise also owns National Car Rental and Alamo, so if you have a reservation at one of those brands, you may be able to pick up or return at an Enterprise location depending on your agreement. This matters if your original booking is at an airport location but you'd prefer to rent from somewhere closer to your home.
Key Takeaways
- Enterprise's location finder on their website shows you the nearest branches, their hours, phone numbers, and what vehicle types they have in stock.
- Off-airport locations often have lower daily rates than airport branches because they don't charge airport facility fees.
- You can reserve a car online, by phone, or in person, and most locations offer free pickup and drop-off within a set radius.
- Enterprise locations vary in size — some small branches may have limited vehicle selection, so checking availability before you go saves time.
- Many Enterprise locations are staffed during business hours only, so confirm hours before arriving, especially on weekends or holidays.
How to find an Enterprise location near you
Go to Enterprise.com and use their location search tool. Enter your zip code, city, or street address, and the site will show you branches ranked by distance. Each listing displays the branch address, phone number, hours of operation, and a link to reserve a vehicle. You can also filter by vehicle type — economy, SUV, truck, van — to see which branches have what you need.
If you're renting at an airport, search for "airport" in the location finder to see Enterprise counters at that terminal. If you're flying into a major airport, Enterprise usually has multiple locations — one at the rental car center and sometimes satellite counters in the terminal itself. The rental car center location is typically cheaper because it doesn't charge airport facility fees, but the terminal counter is faster if you're in a hurry.
You can also call Enterprise's main reservation line at 1-800-261-7331 to ask about locations in a specific area or to make a reservation over the phone. A representative can tell you which branches have your preferred vehicle type in stock and can hold a reservation for you.
What to expect when you arrive at an Enterprise location
Bring your driver's license, a valid credit card in your name, and proof of insurance (your own policy or the rental company's coverage). Enterprise will ask for your driver's license number, check your driving record, and run a credit check. The whole process usually takes 15 to 30 minutes if the location isn't busy.
At smaller Enterprise branches, the staff may need to walk you to the lot to show you your vehicle and explain the rental agreement. Larger locations have more streamlined processes. Either way, you'll review the contract, note the fuel level and any existing damage, and sign before you drive off the lot.
If the branch doesn't have your reserved vehicle type in stock, Enterprise will offer you an upgrade at no extra charge or a downgrade with a refund. Ask about this before you sign — upgrades are common, but you want to confirm the terms.
Off-airport versus airport Enterprise locations
Off-airport Enterprise branches are almost always cheaper than airport locations because they don't charge airport facility fees, which can add 10 to 15 percent to your total bill. If you're renting for more than a day or two, the savings add up quickly. The trade-off is that you'll spend time getting to the branch, which may not be worth it if you're renting for just a few hours.
Airport locations are convenient if you want to pick up a car as soon as you land and drop it off right before your flight. Enterprise has counters at most major U.S. airports, and many regional airports as well. Check your reservation to see which location you're booked at — if it's the airport rental car center rather than the terminal, you'll need to take a shuttle or walk to get there.
Some travelers book an off-airport location for pickup and drop-off to save money, then use a rideshare or rental car shuttle to get there. Calculate the cost of the shuttle against the savings on the rental rate to see if it's worth the extra step.
Free pickup and drop-off service at Enterprise locations
Enterprise offers free pickup and drop-off within a certain radius of most locations — typically 3 to 5 miles, though this varies by branch. If you're renting in a city, this can save you the cost of a rideshare to the rental lot. Call the branch directly or check your reservation confirmation to see if your pickup address qualifies for free service.
If your address is outside the free service area, Enterprise will quote you a fee for pickup or drop-off. Some branches charge a flat rate; others charge per mile. You can decline the service and arrange your own transportation, or you can ask if a nearby branch offers free pickup to your location.
Drop-off is usually available during the branch's business hours. If you need to return a car after hours, ask about after-hours drop-off options — some locations have a find lot where you can leave the car and keys in a lockbox, but not all branches offer this. Confirm the process before you rent so you're not stuck with a car you can't return.
Vehicle availability and reservation options
Enterprise allows you to reserve a specific vehicle type — compact, midsize, SUV, truck, van — but not a specific car. This means you're may provide a vehicle in that category, but you won't know the exact make and model until you arrive. If the branch runs out of your reserved type, Enterprise will upgrade you to the next size at no extra charge.
You can reserve online at Enterprise.com, by phone at 1-800-261-7331, or in person at any location. Online reservations are usually the cheapest because you can compare rates across dates and locations. Phone reservations let you ask questions about vehicle availability and get a confirmation number when ready. In-person reservations are useful if you want to see the vehicle before you commit, though this is less common for short-term rentals.
Reservations are held for a set time — usually until the end of the business day on your rental date. If you're running late, call the branch to let them know. If you don't show up by closing time, Enterprise will cancel your reservation and you may lose your rate may provide.
Enterprise membership programs and discounts
Enterprise Plus is their free membership program. You earn points on every rental that you can redeem for free rental days, upgrades, or other rewards. Signing up takes a few minutes on their website and gives you a membership number you can use on every reservation.
Enterprise also offers discounts through corporate programs, AAA membership, military status, and travel partners like airlines and hotels. Ask about these when you make your reservation — the discount code or membership number can lower your rate significantly. Some discounts stack, so it's worth asking what combinations are available.
If you rent frequently, ask the branch manager about corporate or volume discounts. Even small businesses can negotiate better rates with Enterprise if they commit to a certain number of rentals per year.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I rent from one Enterprise location and return to another?
Yes, Enterprise allows one-way rentals between most locations. You'll pay a drop-off fee if you're returning to a different location than where you picked up, but the fee is usually lower than renting from two separate companies. Check the one-way fee when you make your reservation — it's shown on the price quote.
What if I need to rent a car on a Sunday or holiday when the branch is closed?
Many Enterprise locations have limited hours on weekends and holidays. Call ahead to confirm hours, or use their online reservation system to see which branches are open. Some locations offer after-hours pickup and drop-off, but you'll need to arrange this in advance with the branch manager.
Do I need to show proof of insurance to rent from Enterprise?
You need to show proof of insurance or decline it and purchase Enterprise's coverage. Your personal auto insurance may cover rental cars, but check your policy first. If you don't have coverage, Enterprise's daily insurance rates range widely depending on the vehicle and location, so ask for a quote before you rent.
Can I modify or cancel my Enterprise reservation?
Yes, you can modify your reservation online or by calling 1-800-261-7331. Cancellations are usually free if you cancel before your rental date, but check your confirmation for any restrictions. If you've prepaid, you may receive a refund or credit depending on Enterprise's cancellation policy at the time you booked.
What happens if I return the car late?
Late returns are charged at the daily rate or a higher hourly rate, depending on how late you are. If you're running behind, call the branch as soon as possible — some locations will waive a small late fee if you notify them in advance. Always confirm the late return policy when you pick up the car.
