Hiring a car at Skelmersdale

Skelmersdale, known as Skem locally, is a town in West Lancashire, six miles west of Wigan and 13 miles northeast of Liverpool, on the M58. The coal mining and brickworks that provided the impetus for the town's growth in the 19th century are long gone. Today, the Co-operative Bank is the areas largest employer. Walker's Foods, Victorian Plumbing and Matalan are among businesses with distribution centres in the area. Skelmersdale was designated a new town in 1961 and has been subject to much regeneration. Current plans include new shops, cafes, restaurants, a civic square and a five-screen cinema complex. Retail opportunities can be found in The Concourse Shopping Centre, The Ashurst Centre and on the Digmoor and Sandy Lane shopping malls. The famous Knowsley Safari park is only eight miles away; the same distance as the WWT Martin Mere Wetlands Centre. If you are travelling with children, they would love a visit to Acorn Farm in Liverpool.

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.

  • 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.
