Our membership plans explained

 

From 11th December 2024 Enterprise Car Club are making changes to the membership plans available to members. The three new or amended plans will be as follows.

 

  • Standard Annual Plan £60/year - This plan unlocks cheaper rental rates, saving you £1/hr and £10/day on each rental in comparison to the new Basic Plan. Save £24/yr on membership fees in comparison to paying for the Standard Monthly Plan.

  • Standard Monthly Plan £7/month - Unlocks cheaper rental rates, saving you £1/hr and £10/day on each rental in comparison to the new Basic Plan. The minimal membership term is 30 days.

  • Basic Annual Plan £10/year, get £10 in driving credit each year – This plan is almost cost neutral after your first rental. However, on this plan you are missing out on the reduced rental rates that Standard Plan membership would unlock.

  • Under 22 Plan £10/month – Our only plan for drivers between the ages of 19 - 21. Switching from this plan is only possible after you turn 22 years old. Then you may choose any of the other membership plans but will automatically be put in the Standard £7/month Plan.

 

Please note, new members joining the Basic or Under 22 Plan will also incur a £10 application fee. This cost will be waivered for any existing member switching plans.

Membership fees are charged seperately to both rental rates (which are displayed as an estimate before confirming a reservation) and mileage fees (based on the miles driven during a reservation). No free mileage will be included in any plan.

Revised Rental Rates

 

Ensuring our rental and mileage rates are set competitively has long been important to us. As a result across 2024, you've seen many rental rates drop allowing you to secure a vehicle for as little as £30/day.

Now, in an effort to continue to deliver value for money, we’ve once again reviewed our rental rates. Though these are being adjusted, we’re excited to confirm that for those on a Standard Plan the majority (70%) of our rates will continue to be lower than this time last year. Those on our Basic Plan will see rates set fractionally higher (£1/hr and £10/day) than those with Standard Plan membership enjoy. 

Examples of the new UK average rental rates are below, but this will differ across the vehicle classes, as well as across the UK, so please pay extra special attention to the reservation estimate displayed prior to confirming your booking. Remember also that this estimate does not include the per-mile fee and rental costs will still be capped at the day rate.  

These changes will mean it costs an average of £2.30 - £2.71 an hour to rent, excluding mileage*.

Under 22 rental rates remain unchanged.

To further ensure we remain competitive, our mileage rates are also reducing whilst also becoming standardised across the UK. The new rates are shown below.

  • What are the differences between Basic and Standard Plans?

    The Basic Plan costs a £10 application fee, plus a £10/year membership fee which you will get back in driving credit* making it almost cost-neutral after your first rental. However, members on this plan do not enjoy the discounted rates Standard Plan members unlock.

    The Standard Annual Plan £60/year or £7/month unlocks cheaper rental rates, saving members £1/hr and £10/day on each rental in comparison to the new Basic Plan. Those that pay annually further save £24/yr on membership fees. Those with monthly membership enjoy a minimal membership term of 30 days.

    When you turn 22, you will automatically be moved to our Standard Monthly Plan at £7/month, which is £3 cheaper than your current plan. This plan gives you full access to the entire fleet 24/7 with discounted rental rates, saving you £1/hour and £10/day compared to the Basic Plan. There's no need to take any action; the transition will happen seamlessly. However, if you’d prefer, you also have the option to switch to the Basic Plan, which costs £10/year that you’ll get back in driving credit. Click here to learn more.

  • What are the fees associated with each plan?

    When joining the Basic Plan, there’s a one-off £10 application fee and a £10 annual membership fee. However, you’ll receive the £10 membership fee back each year as driving credit.

    For the Under 22 Plan, a one-off £10 application fee is required along with a £10/month membership fee.

    With the Standard Plans, there are no application fees. You’ll only need to pay £60/year for the Standard Annual Plan or £7/month for the Standard Monthly Plan.

    Please note, if you switch to the Basic Plan from another plan, the £10 application fee will not apply. However, if you leave Enterprise Car Club and decide to re-join later, the £10 application fee will be required if you opt to join the Basic Plan.
