Please take a moment to review the basic steps and reminders below. Understanding some simple guidelines makes for a better car sharing experience for you and your fellow members. If Enterprise CarShare is at your work site for business use, your policies may differ from those listed below.
Click here to view your Member Guide, an on-the-go quick reference guide for car sharing.
Go mobile with our new Enterprise CarShare app, available for iOS and Android. Make, change, cancel, or extend your reservations right from your smartphone.
Don’t have a smartphone? Visit our website! (You may also call our Reservation Hotline 24/7 at 416.840.4444 or 844.341.7888. A $2.50 booking charge applies to all new and change reservation transactions made through an operator, including extending or returning your reservation early.)
Log in using your member ID (on your original Keycard) and password.
Select the time you need and search for vehicles in your desired area. Reserve 15-minute increments with a 90 minute minimum.
On the website, you can also confirm or modify your damage responsibility. For details, click here.
Confirm your reservation. You will receive a confirmation email with details and directions to the vehicle.
Locate your reserved vehicle using the license plate as reference.
Hold your membership card over the card reader on the windshield. The light will blink green and the doors will unlock.
You must bring your membership card with you to the car. It is the only way to access the vehicle. Only you or another approved driver on the same Enterprise CarShare account is allowed to drive the vehicle during your reservation.
The keys are inside the vehicle.
Use your key to lock and unlock the vehicle during your reservation.
Check Before You Drive.
Exterior body damage larger than 5 cm damage evaluator circle, or hole/tear of any size
Bumper scratches and scrapes larger than 15 cm
Any cracks or chips in windshield or other glass
Any warning lights
Soiled interiors, pet hair, lingering smoke or odour
Any concerns that make you feel uncomfortable to drive
Inside the glove compartment, you will find the keys, insurance, registration, our member guide and collision checklist. In the winter, we include a scraper and/or shovel in the rear.
Smoking in the vehicle is not allowed.
Pets must be crated at all times while in the vehicle (service animals excepted). Some of our members are allergic to pets, so please return vehicle free of pet hair.
Always carry a credit card or cash in case of unexpected expenses.
Let us know about any problems right away. If you believe the vehicle needs service, if you require roadside assistance, or in the unfortunate event that you are in an accident, please contact us immediately (844.341.7888 or 416.840.4444) so we can assist you.
In case of an accident, please refer to the Collision Checklist located in the vehicle’s glove box. Failure to immediately report and collect all accident information may result in additional damage charges, fees and/or termination of membership.
DO NOT FILL WITH DIESEL. Filling with diesel is considered negligence and will cause the engine to fail.
Use the gas card at ANY gas station. Gas purchased using the gas card can only be used in CarShare vehicles.
It can ONLY be used at pay-at-the-pump (and does not work inside the station).
The gas card is in the glove box key holder (below the key). Failure to return the gas card will result in a $50 fee.
Gas card PIN: the four-digit PIN code is in your reservation details (check the app or your confirmation email).
If you cannot use the fuel card, we will reimburse you. Upload a photo of the final receipt (including number of litres purchased) using the mobile app or email a photo of the final receipt to infoCANADA@enterprisecarshare.ca within 30 days.
Please return your vehicle on time to avoid inconveniencing other members.
If you need more time, extend with our app prior to the end of your reservation. Late fees are incurred for returning or extending after your reservation has ended. If your extension or late return delays another member who has reserved the vehicle you are driving, an additional inconvenience fee may apply.
Always return the vehicle to its designated parking space or lot. Your reservation will continue until the vehicle has been returned to the original lot, ready for the next member.
If you are unable to return your reserved vehicle to its designated space because it is occupied or blocked, please contact us right away (844.341.7888 or 416.840.4444). Find nearby legal/unrestricted (non-tow zone!) parking and let us know the location so we can notify the next member.
Do not park your personally owned vehicle in the Enterprise CarShare space - we rent private spots so unauthorized vehicles may be towed.
Please remember to leave the vehicle ready for the next member. Clean up any trash or spills, return seats to upright position, remove key from ignition, and turn off the lights and engine. If the battery is dead or the next member reports that the car has been left in an unacceptable condition, you may be charged a fee.
Don’t forget your stuff. Enterprise CarShare is not responsible for the loss of items left behind.
Place the key in the key holder located in glove box. Make sure the fob "snaps" back into the holder.
Exit the vehicle (do not manually lock the doors)
Hold your membership card over the reader on the windshield until the light turns red and the doors lock.
Once the doors lock, your rental has ended.

The estimated amount for reservations may be billed up to 48 hours prior to the reservation start time.
