Enhanced Cleaning Procedures

What steps are being taken to clean the rental cars?

Clean vehicles have always been important to us, but at this moment in time, we know vehicle cleanliness is even more critical.

That’s why we have modified our cleaning procedures that take place between every rental using recommendations from the government.

On top of vacuuming and general wipe-down cleaning, we are using a disinfectant to sanitise key areas between every rental, like the following:

  • Key & key fob
  • Center console
  • Cupholders & compartments
  • Areas between seat/console & seat/doorjambs
  • Dashboard
  • Instrument panels
  • Steering wheel & column
  • Accessory panel
  • Door interiors & pockets
  • Door handles (interior & exterior)
  • Mirrors
  • And other high-touch areas

We also have measures in place to immediately isolate and quarantine any vehicle if needed.



What is Enterprise doing to protect and reduce risk during this Coronavirus outbreak?

Employees working in open branch locations are following the best practices recommended by the World Health Organization and other health authorities to help protect and reduce risk during this Coronavirus outbreak. These practices include:

  • Limiting the number of employees in a location
  • Using social distancing between each other
  • Staying home if they are feeling ill
  • Frequently washing hands
  • Frequently disinfecting touchable surfaces
  • Minimizing customer interaction at vehicle pickup or delivery
  • Ensuring local teams have supplies and resources needed

Additionally, all employees have been made aware that if they ever feel uncomfortable with working in a physical location, they are under absolutely no obligation to work

We also ask for your support. That’s why we urge travelers to please stay home if you are ill, displaying symptoms of COVID-19, been diagnosed with COVID-19 or are currently under quarantine.
