General
Car sharing is a membership based program where, once you join, you can rent a vehicle 24/7. Cars are parked in designated spots on the street or in a lot, close to where you live and work. Members can rent a vehicle for an hour, a day, or overnight.
The cost of Enterprise CarShare depends on certain factors.
Membership costs include a one-time application fee & monthly plan fees that vary by rate plan.
Rental Rates are based on the vehicle, location, time of day & membership plan. This cost is estimated on the app prior to confirming a booking. This cost includes fuel, standard liability protection, and comes with a $1,250 damage responsibility.
The cost may also be dependent on distance charges. Each plan has a certain number of kilometres included per day, after which a small per KM charge is added to the rental rates.
All tolls, tickets & parking costs are covered by the member. Click here to find out more.
Cars are parked in designated spots on the street or in a lot, close to where you live and work. Locations vary by city. See your program page for more information.
Car sharing is the perfect complement for your on-the-go lifestyle. We know you could use a variety of public transportation options such as taking the train, the bus, walking, or biking. But, sometimes you need a car.

Sometimes. If you plan to return your vehicle earlier than expected, simply shorten your reservation online, with our app, or by phone. Your reservation cancellation policy may differ depending on your program and location. Please visit your program page for exact details.

Call 911 if there is personal injury or criminal activity. Please call us to notify us of the accident immediately so that we can create a report of the information you collect and assist you in any way possible. We’ll be sure to make alternate arrangements for the next Enterprise CarShare member that has a reservation for that vehicle.
If you are in an accident with another vehicle, we will respond to claims from other parties up to the limits required by the province and as described in the terms and conditions of your application.
If the vehicle is damaged during your reservation, you may be responsible for a damage fee. Liability and Damage Waiver coverage varies by program or location. Please review your program page or contact us for more information. Please do not attempt to repair a vehicle on your own. Report any damage or vehicle issues to Member Services before continuing to drive to ensure your safety and avoid further damage or cost.
We don't want to hold you responsible for damage that existed prior to your use of the car. Please take a few minutes before you drive to inspect the car prior to each rental. In the glove box, you’ll find a damage evaluator and instructions for reporting damage or vehicle issues at the time of pick up. Please call us immediately to report any problems so that we can document the vehicle’s condition prior to your use and, if needed, make other arrangements for you.
