Carbon offset
Enterprise Rent-A-Car Corporate Environmental Initiative
Frequently asked questions
How much does a carbon offset cost?
Customers can offset the emissions from our average rental by adding an additional £1.25 to the cost of their total rental. The costs paid for the carbon offsets are not tax-deductible.
How did you determine the carbon offset purchase amount?
Based on the Enterprise UK & Ireland car rental fleet, we calculated the average vehicle fuel economy, miles driven per rental, and number of days per rental over the past year. ClimateCare used that information to determine the CO2 impact of the average rental. The £1.25 offset charge covers the cost of offsetting that average per-rental impact. (Total offsets purchased will vary dependent on foreign exchange rates)
What does this mean for the environment?
According to ClimateCare, for every 100,000 customers who choose to take part in this programme, with Enterprise's pound for pound contribution, they will offset more than 33,000 metric tons of CO2. This is the equivalent of a year's savings from changing over a million incandescent light bulbs for efficient compact fluorescent ones in the UK.
