Most of the vehicles sold by the company come from Enterprise Holdings’ fleet of rental vehicles. Former rental vehicles have an above-average likelihood of wear and tear, but the company says they strictly follow the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule, and all vehicles pass a safety inspection before being sold.[1] Enterprise also offers buyers CARFAX vehicle history reports.

The company was an early adopter of the "haggle-free" approach to pricing used cars, later used by competitor CarMax and online used car retailers like Carvana. While most small used car dealers sell vehicles "as is", Enterprise offers a 7-day/1,000-mile buyback policy, a 12-month/12,000-mile limited powertrain warranty and 12 months of roadside assistance. The company offers financing through a network of preferred lenders,[2] as well as a private label financing program through Chase.[3]
