Top tips for hiring a car from Enterprise Rent-A-Car at Bournemouth Airport

  • When you book Enterprise car hire at Bournemouth Airport, you have the freedom to explore the town and the greater Dorset area independent of public transport. It also gives you the flexibility to choose an affordable vehicle according to your travel budget or a comfortable ride for your entire party. Bournemouth is a coastal resort town with many attractions, including beaches, golf courses and several parks. Hengistbury Head Beach offers seaside fun and spectacular views approximately 5 miles from the town centre, while the expanse of the New Forest National Park lies about 12 miles north along the A338.
  • Bournemouth Airport has a small car hire centre with limited resources, so it makes sense to make the short journey (about 3.5 miles) to the Enterprise location on Charminster Road (near Winton Recreation Ground), where there’s an expanded inventory from which to choose. The minimum age to book an Enterprise car hire at Bournemouth Airport is 21, and the provider levies charges on drivers below 25 years of age. You should also know that the agency rarely lets vehicles to drivers over 65 years old.
  • When you arrive at the Enterprise location, be sure to have your valid driving licence, proof of address and insurance papers handy. If you’re visiting from abroad, your passport with a return ticket, photographic ID and unexpired domestic driving licence are required. In such cases, we always recommend carrying an International Driving Permit, which is universally accepted. At Enterprise, you can use a major credit card for payment, but the agency also accepts bank debit cards as an additional convenience.
  • We recommend you book your Enterprise car hire at Bournemouth Airport in advance to increase the likelihood of getting the best vehicle for your road adventures. The agency’s operating hours are Monday-Friday from 8 am-5 pm; Saturday from 9 am-12 noon; it is closed on Sunday. Professional staff are on hand to assist if you don’t have a reservation. In cases where you need to make a return after regular business hours, just park and lock the vehicle, then drop the keys in the secured box provided.

Havent had to rent a car for a very long time and was anxious about the present day procedures, especially since i now dont own a car and the website advices that i bring proof of primary insurance. I did however purchase a $75k policy from the booking company. This never became an issue. At both ends (Las Cruces pickup-Scottsdale dropoff)the process was quick,efficient and cordial. The only sour note these days is the incessant policy of requiring a security deposit, oftentimes equal to or more than the rental price. And then this deposit is NOT immediately returned when the car is turned in - taking days and in one prior instance, a week, to return the deposit. Another aspect of this hold is that the rental company has use of this deposit, interest free, for multiple days. For some people, hundreds of dollars that they cant use. This policy alone makes me reluctant to rent cars except for only extreme situations. This was the only downside to this rental experience. Otherwise all went smoothly and the employees at both ends were efficient and friendly. But, i will only rent under extreme cases, certainly never for just leisure and i will warn those i know of this requirement.Reviewed 9 May 2026

Reserved a car. Got a confirmation email and a confirmation number. Got a reminder. Showed up the morning of my rental, and they can't find my reservation. I give them the confirmation number and they search. The agent says, "Oh," then disappears into the back. He comes out a few minutes later and explains there was "an internal system miscommunication" and the system canceled my reservation. Ummm, I'm sorry, what??? Apparently a hailstorm in a nearby hub took out a lot of cars from their fleet, so they canceled the one-way reservations because of a lack of cars. No notice. Heads-up. Nothing. I asked, "Well, what do I do? I'm now stranded." The agent's suggestion was to go down the line of other rental agencies to see if they had a car. So I did. Thankfully, the very last one, Hertz, had one car left. I explained what happened to the Hertz agent, and she said, "You're the third person this morning that happened to - all from Enterprise. Internal cancelations with no warning, no notification, nothing." I mean, I get it, stuff happens, weather is beyond anyone's control. But what IS in our control is notifying your customers that there's an issue in enough time for us to find an alternate solution, or, coming up with that service recovery solution for your customers yourself. I was offered no help, no credit for a future rental, nothing. Just a shrug of the shoulders and sending me on my way. Shame on you, Enterprise.Reviewed 9 May 2026

Made a reservation the night before I left for my trip and the next morning Enterprise called and said they had no cars available that day for me to rent. Obviously some inventory discrepancies between car rental business and Kayak.Reviewed 4 May 2026

I booked a car and was not told till I got there that they had no options in the grade of cars I selected so I could cancel my reservation or pay extra for a car from the sports car category. The sales associate was speaking to me like I was dumb and would not let up on how this was my fault since I booked the car that day. Terrible customer serviceReviewed 3 May 2026
