At our airport locations, located within the United States and Puerto Rico, you can provide a credit card or debit card as an acceptable form of payment. Please be advised when using a debit card, special conditions may apply, so please read all the conditions below.

Credit Cards
 

• A major credit card is a card that is supported by a pre-determined line of credit, and not a bank account, or a pre-paid balance.
• We currently accept American Express, Discover Network, MasterCard, and Visa credit cards at our US Aiport Locations.
• At the time of rental, a credit card must be presented with available credit, in the renter's name. In addition to the anticipated cost of the rental, an additional security deposit may be required. To find out the cost of the security deposit, you will need to contact the location directly.
• The signature on the back must match the name imprinted on the card and the signature on the rental agreement.
• If the renter reserved online, the name printed on the card presented by renter must match the name booked for the online transaction and identification presented.

Debit/Check Cards
 

• Debit/Check cards are accepted for customers with proof they have an incoming and outgoing flight itinerary at the rental location. Customers must have proof of a ticketed return or outbound trip from the location where the vehicle will be returned on an airline, cruise ship or train. For customers not deplaning or disembarking at the rental location and/or do not have evidence of a return or outbound trip, Debit/Check cards are only accepted as a form of payment at the time of return.
• At the time of rental, a debit card must be presented with available funds in the associated checking account. Funds taken will be done as a sale, so funds must be available at the time of rental. Enterprise is not responsible for overdraft fees. The debit card must be in the renter's name. In addition to the anticipated cost of the rental, an additional security deposit may be required. To find out the cost of the security deposit, you will need to contact the location directly.
• The signature on the back must match the name imprinted on the card and the signature on the rental agreement.
• At the end of the rental, if you are entitled to a refund, the location will release the funds immediately. Due to bank processing times, this could be delayed a couple days, but we find that typically customers have their refund within 15 business day.
