Hiring a car at Kendal

If you're visiting Kendal or live locally and you need to rent a car, Enterprise Car Rental is on Mintsfeet Road, just half a mile north of the railway station. Whether you're looking to rent a car to tour the area, or you need to hire a van for a house move or other purpose, you'll find a wide selection of cars and vans at competitive prices at the conveniently located Enterprise Car Rental branch in Kendal. 

The joy of renting a car is you can get exactly the vehicle that you need. Going on a family holiday? Upsize to a people carrier with lots of room for baggage and plenty of space for everyone. Doing a long drive? Get yourself something powerful and comfortable so you can relax and enjoy the trip. On a romantic break? Splash out on something a bit flash and sporty, maybe even a convertible if the weather is looking good. 

Visiting Kendal and the Area

Kendal is an old wool trading town, more famous now for Kendal mint cake, the original energy bar. The town is a destination for shopping with no fewer than five shopping malls and a central pedestrianised area.

If you're more of a history buff than a shopper, the town has two castles, two museums and lots of interesting buildings to visit, so there's something for everyone.

A Break in the Lake District

Kendal is also the perfect place to base yourself on a break to the Lake District. With Keswick about 30 miles away and Windermere just a 20-minute drive, you can enjoy all the benefits of being in a town, with access to beautiful countryside.

You're also not far from the sea and some amazing beaches so, if you're on a family holiday, you can pack a picnic, bundle everyone into the people carrier and head to the seaside, weather permitting of course.

To rent a car from Enterprise Rent-A-Car in the United States and Canada, you will need the following:

  • To be 25 years old 
  • A valid driving licence with a photo
  • A photo ID (for example: a driving licence or passport)
  • Credit or debit card (check the acceptable forms of payment at the location you're renting from)

Some locations may require additional information, including but not limited to: 

  • An International Driving Permit (IDP): If the licence is written in a language or characters different from those of the country of rental, an IDP is also required. Renters are advised to check whether local authorities require foreign drivers to present an International Driving Permit to avoid the risk of potential fines. Renters with licences from countries that are not part of the International Driving Permit Agreement should carry a certified translation.
  • Return travel and accommodation information: Visitors to the UK must also provide proof of return travel and accommodation information while in the UK. 

As a customer, you have a choice as to how you would like to pay for fuel.

Fuel policy at non-airport locations:

  • You may refuel the vehicle to the same fuel level you received when you picked up the vehicle, or if you choose not to refuel the vehicle to the same fuel level, you will be charged the local Enterprise rate which is typically above the local pump price. An additional refuelling charge may apply at some locations.
  • A full tank of fuel is not guaranteed.

Fuel policy at airport car rental locations:

  • You may refuel the vehicle to the same fuel level you received when you picked up the vehicle, or if you choose not to refuel the vehicle to the same fuel level, you will be charged the local Enterprise rate which is typically above the local pump price. An additional refuelling charge may apply at some locations.
  • You may opt to pre-pay for fuel — pre-pay gives you two conveniences:
    • You can avoid the hassle of having to fuel up the vehicle before returning.
    • The pre-pay fuel option is calculated at the local rate of fuel minus a per gallon discount.

Note: Pre-paid fuel is only sold in full tanks at the discounted price per gallon and is not refundable. Local fuel rates will vary by the area you are renting a vehicle.
