Car Rental & Travel

Enterprise Military & Veteran Discount

5% off base rates for personal Government Leisure Travel — active-duty, veterans, retired federal & current federal employees — plus contracted Official Government Travel rates for travel on orders.

Enterprise Rent-A-Car offers two separate savings tracks for the military and government community. If you’re renting for a personal trip, Government Leisure Travel gives you 5% off Enterprise’s base rates — open to active-duty members, veterans, retired federal employees, and current U.S. federal employees, with no military-association membership required. If you’re traveling on official government business or temporary duty, Official Government Travel unlocks contracted government rates with extras like unlimited mileage in the continental US (or Canada), built-in damage and liability protection, and a full tank of gas at pickup.

The 5% leisure discount applies to base rates, not to taxes, fees, or surcharges, and Enterprise doesn’t publish a specific leisure promo code on its site — so confirm the rate when you book and have a military or government ID ready at pickup. For Official Government Travel, you’ll need to show your official orders or a government-issued credit card at the counter.

This is an independent guide to help you use the offer. We’re not affiliated with Enterprise, and Enterprise controls the terms and can change them at any time. Always confirm details on Enterprise’s official military & government discounts page before you book.

HOW TO REDEEM

Online at www.enterprise.com

Start a reservation on Enterprise’s military & government page
Go to Enterprise’s military & government discounts page and begin a booking, then choose your location, dates, and vehicle.
Apply the government/military leisure rate
Enterprise does not publish a specific leisure discount/coupon code on its official page — the exact corporate or discount number to enter is not stated. Confirm the correct number and rate with Enterprise or your branch before booking.
Confirm the 5%-off-base-rate is reflected
Review the quote to confirm the 5% discount is applied to the base rate (it does not reduce taxes, fees, or surcharges), then complete the reservation.
Bring your ID to pickup
A military or government identification may be requested at the time of pickup.
Official Government Travel — book on the official-travel route
If you are traveling on official government business or temporary duty, book through Enterprise’s Official Government Travel route or your agency’s travel-administrator portal; the contracted government rate and benefits apply, and you must be 18+ with a valid driver’s license or military ID.

In store

Visit any Enterprise location
All Enterprise locations worldwide accept the military/government discounts; rate amounts and availability can vary by location and travel type.
Tell the branch which program applies
Let the branch know you are booking under the military/government program — Government Leisure Travel for personal trips, or Official Government Travel for official orders.
Leisure — present a military or government ID
Present a military or government ID if asked; the 5%-off-base-rate is applied.
Official Travel — show orders or a government credit card
Present your official orders or a government-issued credit card to receive the contracted rate.

HOW IT WORKS

The difference between the two programs matters. Government Leisure Travel is off-duty travel and/or for personal needs, and Enterprise offers a 5% discount off base rates for it — note "off base rates," not off the total. Official Government Travel is for official government business or temporary duty, and instead of a flat percentage Enterprise provides specific contracted rates, which is why this page does not encode a fixed official-travel figure (it varies).

For the leisure discount, Enterprise states you are not required to have a membership to any military-related association, and that a military or government identification may be asked for at the time of pickup. For Official Government Travel, eligibility is confirmed at the counter by showing official orders or a government-issued credit card; renters must hold a valid driver’s license or military ID and be 18+. Enterprise is a participating vendor under the U.S. Government Car Rental Agreement, which governs the official rates.

One thing to watch: several aggregator pages claim the Enterprise military discount runs "through ID.me," via a "Veterans Advantage 5% off" code, or with a specific "USAA member program" corporate number. None of these mechanics is stated on Enterprise’s own military/government discount pages as the route for the general military/veteran leisure discount. Enterprise separately notes that USAA members receive added benefits, but that is a distinct partner program. Because the exact online redemption mechanic is not published, confirm the correct rate with Enterprise or your branch before booking.

Exclusions & fine print

The leisure discount is "5% off base rates" — base rate only, not taxes, fees, surcharges, or optional add-ons. Enterprise does not publish an itemized exclusion list for the leisure discount.
No specific leisure coupon or corporate code is published on Enterprise’s official page; the exact online entry mechanic is not stated — confirm before booking.
Stacking with other coupons, promo codes, or sale rates is not stated as permitted — treat as non-stackable unless a branch or booking confirms otherwise.
Per-rental and annual caps, and gift-card/return interactions, are not stated in the official source.
Minimum age: 21+ for Government Leisure Travel; 18+ for Official Government Travel (18–20 may incur a young-driver surcharge).
Standard rental requirements apply: a valid driver’s license held at least one year, a valid ID, and a valid credit card (debit cards require additional verification).
