Yes, you can rent a car from Enterprise at 23 years old. However, you will be charged a Young Renter Fee, typically ranging from $20 to $30 per day, because drivers under 25 are considered a higher risk. The ability to rent and the specific fee can also depend on the location, the vehicle class you choose, and your state of residence.
The primary requirement is that you must possess a valid, non-provisional driver's license from your state or country that has been held for at least a year. You will also need to present a major credit card in your name; debit cards or prepaid cards are often not accepted for the initial reservation and security deposit for drivers under 25. Enterprise conducts a standard check of your driving record, and major violations may disqualify you.

It's highly recommended to call the specific Enterprise branch where you plan to rent. Policies can differ between corporate-owned and franchise locations. When you book online or call, always disclose your accurate age. The system will automatically apply the young renter fee, so there are no surprises at the counter. Renting at 23 is straightforward as long as you budget for the additional daily fee and have the proper documentation ready.
