Portsmouth Car Club

Enterprise Car Club has partnered with us to provide sustainable and affordable car usage for residents.  Portsmouth’s vehicles are part of a wider network of 1,300 pay-as-you-go cars and vans, accessible to members 24/7 on streets, car parks and Enterprise Rent-A-Car branches across the UK.

Join Enterprise Car Club

Car club members can unlock and rent cars for up to five full days in a row or just a quick trip. Cars can be unlocked with a simple tap on the Enterprise app, or by contacting their friendly customer services team for assistance. All vehicles come with an MOT, insurance, breakdown cover, and are regularly cleaned. Eight cars are available from designated parking bays in the southern area of the city, with hopes to expand to more locations in the future. The current bays are in Talbot Road, Devonshire Square, Festing Road, Craneswater Park, Clarence Road, Victoria Road South, Kings Road and Cottage Grove.

Launched in September 2023, this new partnership also offers resident and corporate membership discounts during the first year. See more information below.

Frequently asked questions

Enterprise Car Club provides a range of fuel-efficient cars that you can rent by the hour or the day. By signing up as a member, you can access vehicles in Portsmouth and across the UK, picking them up from convenient streets in Portsmouth, or train stations, car parks or Enterprise Rent-A-Car Branches in other areas.

Membership includes fuel, servicing, MOTs, breakdown cover, damage protection and cleaning. This means you only pay for a vehicle when you need it. Reserving these vehicles is easy, with booking available through their website or highly-rated mobile app. Vehicles are accessible 24/7, meaning you don’t need to work around branch opening times.

Eight cars are available from designated parking bays in the southern area of the city, with hopes to expand to more locations in the future. The current bays are in:

  • Talbot Road
  • Devonshire Square
  • Festing Road
  • Craneswater Park
  • Clarence Road
  • Victoria Road South
  • Kings Road
  • Cottage Grove

Members must be 19 years old and over and hold a driving license. Further information on eligibility can be found on the enterprise website.

Enterprise Car Club has a fleet of 1,300+ cars and vans of all sizes across an ever-increasing number of UK towns and cities. Once you’ve joined the location closest to you, you have access to the entire fleet. By having vehicles parked in their own designated bays in, you will always have a space to return to.

Reservations can be for as little as half an hour, a day, or as long as needed. At the end of your reservation, the vehicle should be returned to the same designated bay it was picked up from, so there is always a parking space waiting for you.

Research shows that 34% of car club members joined to make savings from not running their own car (2022 research and infographics come from shared transport charity Collaborative Mobility), avoiding costs such as depreciation, maintenance, insurance, tax, and parking permits.

Car clubs also help to reduce congestion and improve air quality. Research from shared transport charity ‘Collaborative Mobility’ shows that car club cars produce 27% less CO2 than the average car. The positive impact is amplified by the fact that 22 private cars are replaced by each car club vehicle on the road. Visit the enterprise car club website for more information.

All car club vehicles come with damage protection, as well as third party and passenger liability cover, so you won’t need to take out extra insurance.

A damage waiver excess of £1,000 applies, but you’ll only have to pay this if the accident is deemed to be your fault or if 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.

See the Enterprise Car Club website for more information.

All cars are covered for breakdown and recovery assistance. In the event of a breakdown, please call the 24/7 Enterprise Clubhouse line on 0345 266 9290.
