You can get an oil change for an Enterprise rental car at any Enterprise Rent-A-Car location or a participating Enterprise-approved service center. The most important thing to know is that if the "Change Engine Oil" or similar maintenance light comes on during your rental, you should not ignore it. Enterprise covers the cost of routine maintenance, including oil changes, as long as you follow their specific procedure.
Your first and best step is to call the Enterprise Rent-A-Car branch where you picked up the vehicle or the customer service number provided on your rental agreement. They will instruct you on the approved process. Typically, you have two options:
To avoid any issues, it's wise to check the vehicle's oil level and note any warning lights before you drive off the lot. For long-term rentals, proactively discuss the maintenance policy with the agent at pickup.

Call the Enterprise branch you rented from, immediately. Don't just drive to a random shop. They need to authorize the work first. I learned this the hard way on a long business trip. The light came on, I got it changed at a quick-lube place, and then had a hassle trying to get my money back. Enterprise will usually just tell you to bring it in for a free swap or direct you to a partner shop they pay directly. Save yourself the paperwork.
