Please be advised of the following information regarding Bio Diesel. Bio Diesel- Availability and Usage in rental vehicles- Recently some distributors (such as Morrison’s Super Market) have begun to sell a “B30 Bio diesel” product which is a 30%/70% blend, with a higher Methyl Ester content. For all vehicles on Enterprise’s fleet, use of B30 Bio diesel will invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty, and therefore any engine damage would become the financial responsibility of Enterprise Rent-A-Car and if traced, such repair costs may be passed on to customers. It is possible on some vehicles to trace via a vehicle’s engine management system or by specific evaluation at what point such a fuel has been used.

Vehicle Return Grace Period

All vehicles must be returned within 29 minutes of the collection time or an additional rental day will be charged.

Congestion Charging operates Monday through Friday from 7:00am to 6:30pm excluding public holidays.

There are no tollbooths or barriers around the Congestion Charging zone and no physical tickets or passes. Instead, the driver registers the vehicle number plate on a database for all journeys within the charging zone.

The Congestion Charge can be paid beforehand, on the day of travel or the following charging day. It can also be paid for more than one day at a time by paying for a week, month, or year in one transaction.

If the Congestion Charge is not paid as outlined above, Enterprise RentACar will be sent a Penalty Charge Notice by the Transport for London. This will ask Enterprise RentACar to supply the name and address of the hirer of the vehicle when the contravention occurred.

PLEASE NOTE: The (PCN) Penalty Charge Notice WILL BE £100.00. As with parking penalties, this is reduced to £50.00 is payment is made within 14 days. Failure to pay the penalty charge in 28 days will result in the penalty being increased to £150.00. Enterprise RentACar,
