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.

FAQs about hiring a car from Enterprise Rent-A-Car at Bournemouth Airport

  • What vehicle types are recommended at Enterprise car hire at Bournemouth Airport?

    Selecting a vehicle according to your budget and requirements is always practical. For example, compacts and small economy cars are fuel-efficient, affordable choices for singles and couples looking to keep expenses to a minimum. On the other hand, full-sized saloons and SUVs or passenger vans are more comfortable and offer increased storage capacity when travelling with family or friends. Premium vehicles with a range of deluxe options get our nod when you wish to travel in style.

  • What should I know about driving a Bournemouth Airport Enterprise car hire around town?

    Always drive the vehicle on the left side of the road, and ensure all occupants wear seatbelts before getting on the road.

In cases of emergency, dial 999 for assistance.

When you rent a car, the expectation would be that you would get the car you chose. Not my experience. I didn’t rent a compact vehicle because I’m a larger guy and I didn’t want a Mitsubishi after several bad experiences. The only car available was a compact Mitsubishi that looked like it was rolling on 2 spare tires since it was missing hubcaps. I will say that while the car was frustrating, the manager was understanding of the situation and offered me a discounted price and a tank of gas. I could tell he was embarrassed and did what he could. If you rent an available car, you shouldn’t have to deal with that car being unavailable, and you shouldn’t have to be downgraded.Reviewed 24 Nov 2025

I booked through Enterprise specifically to avoid the well-known predatory damage practices in Portugal, but unfortunately I still ended up with exactly that. At drop-off, the agent claimed extremely minor cosmetic marks on the plastic hubcaps were “damage” and charged €439.08. The behaviour was consistent with the typical Portuguese rental-car damage scam: • the agent repeatedly asked if I had insurance before even looking at the car • he refused to mark the damage on the inspection diagram and told me I could draw it myself • he would not clearly show how the alleged marks differed from the faint areas visible in my pickup video • he would not state the cost of the charge until we were inside the small office • the “damage” itself was tiny, superficial cosmetic wear that no major rental company would normally charge for • I filed a written dispute with Guerin on the same day and received no acknowledgment or response nearly a week later. Additionally, the pickup process was extremely slow. The self-check-in computer failed multiple times, the system was reset twice, and I had to wait a long time in the queue after it crashed again. I chose Enterprise to avoid exactly this type of experience, and I’m very disappointed.Reviewed 21 Nov 2025

Your staff was excellent; very friendly and knowledgeable. The car I was assigned had a few problems. The car itself was very nice however the sunroof wasn’t seated properly and it caused a chilly draft to the backseat passengers. I wouldn’t touch the switch in case it opened and then wouldn’t close. You could see the problem from the roof once you knew the problem existed. Your staff acknowledged and made a small compensation for the problem. Also, the cruise control wasn’t working. This is a function that I use on freeway driving. Overall, I like Enterprise and will definitely use Enterprise in the future if needed.Reviewed 20 Nov 2025

Car could have been in better condition. It broke down on I4 in FL at 10pm and customer service was less than helpful for an hour. The tow truck when it arrived was great but getting help from Enterprise or state police in FL didn’t materialize. Enterprise should have sent an Uber at their expense as we were 7 miles from an exit. If it wasn’t for the amazing tow truck driver we might still be waiting. Customer service needs a big upgrade.Reviewed 15 Nov 2025
