Some charging cables are fixed to the charger in which case just removed from the vehicle, however, if the charging cable can be disconnected from both ports it will belong to the vehicle and must be gathered then securely stored inside the vehicle. Ensure all ports are covered are securely closed before leaving the charger.

Park the car and switch off the ignition. Retrieve the fuel card from the back of the key holder. Alternatively, it can be found on the side of the dashboard, to the right of the steering wheel (please note that this may only be visible when the driver's side door is open). Check whether the vehicle takes petrol or diesel and fill up the vehicle as normal.
After you have refuelled the vehicle, take a note of the current mileage on the dashboard, and use the pre-paid fuel card at the kiosk to pay. Members will need to enter a unique 4-digit PIN when using the card at petrol stations.
You’ll no longer receive the unique 4-digit PIN number for the fuel card in your booking confirmation email. Now, the PIN number will be easily found in the 'Important Information' section of the Enterprise Car Club app. This is found by selecting your reservation, where you will see the Important Information section. This information will be updated with the vehicle’s fuel card PIN once your reservation has begun’. If you're still unable to find your PIN number, please email helpdesk@enterprisecarclub.co.uk.For optimised security these codes will regularly change so please refer to this email with each new booking.
Once paid, return the fuel payment card to the computer in the glovebox, or the holder on the dashboard, along with the receipt.
Please note you cannot use Pay At Pump with our cards.
Please look to use standard fuel, not premium where possible.
We ask our members to return the vehicles with at least a quarter tank of fuel for the convenience of the next member.
Please note that fuel card has a limit of £80 per transaction. Numerous transactions are permitted, however there is a daily limit of £150. If you exceed this limit (even slightly) when refuelling at a petrol station, you will not be able to use the card.
