Enterprise Car Club

Enterprise Car Club Discounts for the UK Armed Forces Community

Enterprise Car Club offers flexible, pay-as-you-go car sharing across the UK, giving you access to vehicles parked near you whenever you need them. For serving personnel, veterans, and military families, this can be a practical alternative to owning a second car—especially if you're posted somewhere new, living on base, or managing on a tight budget.

Whether you need a vehicle for a few hours to run errands, a day trip with the family, or a weekend away, Enterprise Car Club lets you book by the hour or day. Fuel and insurance are included in the price, and there's no long-term commitment.

How Enterprise Car Club Works

Enterprise Car Club is straightforward. You sign up online, get approved, and receive a membership card. Once you're set up, you can book vehicles through the app or website, then pick them up from designated parking bays across towns and cities in the UK.

Cars are unlocked using your membership card or the app, and the keys are inside. You pay only for the time you use the vehicle, with fuel, insurance, congestion charges, and breakdown cover all included. When you're done, you return the car to the same spot you collected it from.

Why It Works for Military Families

If you're frequently posted or don't need a car every day, owning one can feel like more hassle than it's worth. Enterprise Car Club gives you the flexibility to access a car when you actually need it, without the costs of tax, MOT, servicing, or insurance piling up.

For families living on base or in areas with decent public transport, it's a sensible way to stay mobile without being tied to a vehicle you rarely use. And if your partner is deployed or away on exercise, having access to a car nearby—without the responsibility of maintaining it—can make life a lot easier.

What's Included in Your Membership

Your Enterprise Car Club membership includes:

• Access to a range of vehicles, from small city cars to larger family vehicles and vans
• Fuel, insurance, and breakdown cover included in every booking
• Congestion charge and low emission zone fees covered
• 24/7 roadside assistance
• Flexible booking by the hour or day
• No long-term contracts

There's a small joining fee and an annual membership cost, but after that you only pay when you book a car. It's a simple model that works well if you need occasional access rather than daily use.

Where You Can Find Enterprise Car Club Vehicles

Enterprise Car Club operates in towns and cities across England, Scotland, and Wales. Vehicles are parked in dedicated bays, often near residential areas, train stations, and town centres. You can check availability in your area using the online map before signing up.

If you're posted somewhere new, it's worth checking whether there are vehicles near your base or accommodation. In some areas, availability is excellent. In others, it may be more limited.

Armed Forces Discounts with Enterprise Car Club

Enterprise Car Club offers discounts for the Armed Forces community, which can include reduced joining fees or discounted membership rates. Eligibility typically covers serving personnel, veterans, and in some cases, military family members.

Discounts may vary depending on current promotions, so it's worth checking what's available at the time you sign up. You'll usually need to verify your military status through a recognised service, such as Defence Discount Service or similar.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can join Enterprise Car Club?

Anyone aged 19 or over with a valid UK driving licence can apply. You'll need to have held your licence for at least 12 months. If you're under 23, there may be additional requirements or restrictions on certain vehicle types.

How much does it cost to use Enterprise Car Club?

You pay a one-off joining fee and an annual membership fee. After that, you're charged only when you book a car. Prices vary depending on the type of vehicle and how long you need it, but fuel, insurance, and other running costs are included. There are no hidden charges.

Can I use Enterprise Car Club if I'm posted abroad or deploy frequently?

Yes. Because there's no long-term contract, you can pause or cancel your membership if you're deployed or posted overseas. You won't be charged for bookings you don't make, and you can reactivate your account when you're back in the UK.

What happens if the car is damaged or breaks down?

All vehicles come with comprehensive insurance and 24/7 breakdown cover. If something goes wrong, you contact Enterprise Car Club's support team, and they'll sort it out. You're covered for most situations, though there may be an excess depending on the circumstances.

Do I need to refuel the car before returning it?

Fuel is included, and you're given a fuel card to use during your booking. You're expected to return the car with at least a quarter tank. If you don't, there may be a small refuelling charge. It's a fair system that keeps things simple for everyone.

Can my spouse use the car if I'm the member?

Only registered members can drive the vehicles. If your spouse or partner wants to use Enterprise Car Club, they'll need their own membership. However, both of you can be members and book cars independently, which can work well for military families managing different schedules.
