FAQs from Enterprise Rent-A-Car
When do the best Enterprise deals tend to appear?
Seasonal promotions and limited-time prepay discounts are the most common sources of savings. Enterprise also sends exclusive offers to email subscribers before they appear publicly, so signing up to their email list is a reliable way to catch the best rates as they come up.
Does Enterprise offer a loyalty programme?
Yes — Enterprise Plus is a free loyalty programme where members earn points on every qualifying hire and redeem them for free rental days, with no blackout dates. The programme has four tiers, each adding more perks:
-
Standard: Points on every qualifying hire, redeemable for free rental days
-
Silver (6–11 rentals per year): 10% bonus points and one free car upgrade per programme year
-
Gold (12 rentals or 40 days per year): 15% bonus points and two free car upgrades per programme year
-
Platinum (24 rentals or 85 days per year): 20% bonus points and four free car upgrades per programme year
Can I save money by booking Enterprise in advance?
Yes, and it's one of the most reliable ways to reduce the cost. Prepaying online or via the app saves up to 15% on car hire in Ireland. Free cancellation is available up to three days before the rental date, so booking ahead carries very little risk.
Is there a student discount available at Enterprise?
Enterprise doesn't currently advertise a dedicated student discount. The most accessible savings for any renter are the prepay discount (up to 15% off in Ireland) and the Enterprise Plus loyalty programme, both of which are open to all customers.
Are there any Enterprise car hire deals for businesses?
Yes. The Business Rental Programme gives registered business members a 5% discount on rentals, plus 24/7 support and guaranteed vehicle availability. Businesses with larger or more specific requirements can also enquire about bespoke arrangements through Enterprise directly.
Does Enterprise include mileage in Irish rentals?
Yes — rentals booked in Ireland include unlimited kilometres, so you won't face any per-mile charges regardless of how far you drive. This makes Enterprise particularly good value for longer road trips around the country.
What happens if I need to cancel an Enterprise booking?
Cancellation is free if you cancel at least three days before the rental date. There's no penalty for returning a vehicle early either, though your daily rate may be recalculated if you do. It's worth checking the specific terms on your booking confirmation.
Can I take an Enterprise rental car across the border from Ireland?
Taking a vehicle to Britain incurs a cross-border fee of €170.25. There's no additional fee for travelling to Northern Ireland. If you're planning a cross-border trip, it's worth factoring that cost in when comparing rental options.
Does Enterprise offer van hire discounts as well as car hire?
Yes — the prepay discount applies to van hire too. Paying in advance online saves up to 15% on van hire, and a 10% discount is available when prepaying online specifically. Enterprise Car Club members can also save up to 10% on van rentals.
Can I earn frequent flyer miles when renting with Enterprise?
Yes. Enterprise's Travel Partner Rewards Programmes let you link a frequent flyer or travel loyalty number to your reservation. You'll earn miles or points with your chosen partner on every qualifying hire — just add your loyalty number before confirming the booking.
Smart Ways to Save on Enterprise Car Hire in Ireland
Enterprise Rent-A-Car makes it genuinely straightforward to pay less — whether you're renting a runaround for the weekend, hiring a van for a house move, or booking regular business travel. The biggest savings come from booking ahead, joining the right programme, and knowing which perks apply to your situation.
On this vouchercloud page you'll find the best current Enterprise deals rounded up, including any active enterprise discount codes and promotional offers worth knowing about.
How to Apply an Enterprise Voucher Code at Checkout
Applying an Enterprise promo code takes less than a minute — here's exactly what to do:
-
Head to the Enterprise Rent-A-Car website or open the app and search for your preferred vehicle, dates, and pick-up location.
-
Choose your vehicle and work through to the booking summary page.
-
Look for the field labelled 'coupon' or 'promotion code' — it typically appears in the rate or payment section before you confirm.
-
Type or paste your code into the field and apply it. The updated price should appear immediately in your booking summary.
-
If the code isn't working, check the minimum rental period, confirm the vehicle type is eligible, and make sure you're booking within any active promotional window. Only one promotional code can be applied per booking.
Save Up to 15% on Car and Van Hire by Prepaying
Prepaying is the single biggest lever you can pull on an Enterprise booking. Pay upfront online or through the app and you can save:
Car Hire Prepay Savings
-
Up to 15% on car rental in Ireland
-
Up to 12% on car rental in France and Germany
-
Up to 10% on car rental across 56 other countries, including Australia and Greece
Van Hire Prepay Savings
-
Up to 15% on van hire when paying in advance
-
Up to 10% on van hire when prepaying online
The saving applies at the point of booking — you simply select the 'Pay Now' option rather than 'Pay Later' at the branch. Rentals in Ireland also include unlimited kilometres, which adds real value on longer journeys. If your plans change, free cancellation is available up to three days before the rental date, so prepaying doesn't mean you're locked in with no way out.
It's worth selecting 'Pay Now' at the rate-selection step to make sure the prepay discount is applied before you confirm.
Earn Free Rental Days with Enterprise Plus
Enterprise Plus is Enterprise's free loyalty programme, and it's one of the more straightforward earn-and-redeem schemes around. Members earn points on every qualifying hire, and those points can be redeemed for free rental days — with no blackout dates at participating locations.
Enterprise Plus Membership Tiers
-
Standard: Points on every qualifying hire, redeemable for free rental days
-
Silver (6–11 rentals per year): 10% bonus points plus one free car upgrade per programme year
-
Gold (12 rentals or 40 days per year): 15% bonus points plus two free car upgrades per programme year
-
Platinum (24 rentals or 85 days per year): 20% bonus points plus four free car upgrades per programme year
One thing worth knowing: Enterprise Plus points don't expire as long as you complete at least one qualifying hire every three years. So even occasional renters can build up a balance over time without losing it.
Signing up for Enterprise Plus before your next booking means the points start accumulating straight away rather than being left on the table.
Up to 10% Off as an Enterprise Car Club Member
Enterprise Car Club is a car-sharing membership that gives you 24/7 access to vehicles, with membership starting from €5 per month or €40 per year. As well as the flexibility of on-demand access, Car Club members receive up to 10% off standard Enterprise retail rentals — useful when you need a vehicle for longer than a typical Car Club booking.
For anyone who rents occasionally but wants a consistent saving each time, the annual membership fee is modest enough that the rental discount can offset it fairly quickly. It's a clever little setup if car-sharing already fits how you get around.
If you already use car-sharing services or rent a few times a year, it's worth checking whether Car Club membership makes sense for your usage.
Save 5% on Business Rentals with the Business Rental Programme
Enterprise's Business Rental Programme is designed for companies that rent regularly — and it does the sensible thing of making those savings automatic rather than something you have to chase each time. Members receive a 5% discount on rentals, along with 24/7 support and guaranteed vehicle availability, which matters when travel plans are time-sensitive.
For businesses with bespoke needs, Enterprise also offers tailored programmes beyond the standard 5% rate. It's a practical option for any organisation looking to manage travel costs more predictably.
If your company rents vehicles more than a handful of times a year, registering for the Business Rental Programme through the Enterprise Rent-A-Car website is a straightforward way to formalise the saving.
Earn Travel Miles and Points on Every Rental
Enterprise's Travel Partner Rewards Programmes let you attach a frequent flyer or loyalty number to your reservation, so you earn miles or points with your preferred travel partner every time you hire. It's a simple way to get more value from a rental you'd be making anyway — particularly useful for frequent travellers who are building up a miles balance elsewhere.
Add your loyalty number during the booking process before you confirm the reservation to make sure the points are credited.
Exclusive Offers by Email
Enterprise runs an email subscription service that delivers promotional updates and exclusive offers directly to subscribers — the kind of deals that don't always show up publicly. If you rent a few times a year or want early notice of seasonal promotions, it's one of the easier wins on this list. Signing up through the Enterprise Rent-A-Car website takes a moment and means you won't miss an offer that's relevant to your next trip.
