Where is the Enterprise counter at Gander Airport?
The Enterprise counter at Gander Airport is located inside the main terminal at the baggage claim area, at 1000 James Boulevard, Gander, NL. No shuttle or tram is required, after collecting your bags, walk directly to the Enterprise desk to receive your keys and sign the rental agreement. Vehicles are parked within walking distance of the terminal.
There is also a second Enterprise location at 211 Airport Boulevard, Gander, which operates Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, and is closed on weekends. If you are arriving by air, the in-terminal counter at 1000 James Boulevard is the most convenient option.
Weekend hours at the airport counter are limited: Saturday and Sunday, 12 PM to 2 PM only. If your flight arrives outside those windows, plan accordingly or contact Enterprise in Gander in advance to confirm arrangements.
What are the Enterprise counter hours in Gander?
Enterprise operates two locations in Gander, each with different hours.
- Airport counter (1000 James Boulevard, inside the terminal): Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM; Saturday and Sunday, 12 PM to 2 PM only.
- City location (211 Airport Boulevard, Gander): Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM; closed Saturday and Sunday.
After-hours vehicle returns are available at the Gander Airport location. Park in the designated Enterprise parking area, lock the vehicle, and place the keys in the key drop box at the rental counter. Note that the rental inspection will take place on the next business day.
If your flight is delayed and you expect to arrive outside counter hours, the Enterprise booking will generally be held for up to 24 hours from the original pickup time. Arriving after that window may result in the reservation being forfeited, so contact support promptly if a significant delay occurs.
Are there toll roads to worry about when driving an Enterprise rental car in Gander?
No, there are no toll roads anywhere in Newfoundland and Labrador, including in and around Gander. Driving your Enterprise rental on the Trans-Canada Highway or any other provincial route will not generate any toll charges.
Because no toll infrastructure exists in the province, you will not need a transponder, a toll pass, or any toll program from Enterprise. There are also no congestion charges or emissions zone fees in Gander.
If your trip takes you to other Canadian provinces where tolls do apply, such as Ontario's Highway 407, standard toll billing rules would then apply to your Enterprise rental. Keep any toll receipts from those portions of your journey, as they may be eligible for the Tolls Cashback benefit included with your booking.
Does my Enterprise booking in Gander include Tolls Cashback?
Yes, all bookings include Tolls Cashback, which reimburses up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your rental period.
Since Newfoundland and Labrador has no toll roads, this benefit is most relevant if your Enterprise rental from Gander takes you into other provinces where tolls exist. If you pay tolls during any part of your trip, you can submit a claim after returning the vehicle.
To claim your cashback, email [email protected] within 30 days of returning your Enterprise rental in Gander or at your drop-off location. Include the following:
- Your booking confirmation
- The signed rental agreement from Enterprise
- A receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid
The refund is processed to your original payment method and typically arrives within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Claims submitted after 30 days are not accepted.
What documents do I need to pick up an Enterprise rental car in Gander?
When collecting your Enterprise rental in Gander, bring the following physical documents, digital copies are not accepted at the counter:
- A valid, unexpired driver's license with your photograph. Enterprise in Gander requires a government-issued physical license; digital licenses are not accepted, and it must be valid for the entire rental period.
- A major credit card in the main driver's name, with the driver's name printed on the card, for the security deposit hold.
- Your passport or valid government-issued photo ID.
- Your booking confirmation or printed voucher.
- Round-trip flight tickets or proof of onward travel (required for visitors from outside Canada).
If your driver's license uses a non-Latin alphabet (such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic), you must also carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) as a translation alongside your original license. The IDP is not a standalone document and is invalid without the original license.
Visitors from countries with Latin-alphabet licenses can generally drive in Canada on their foreign license, though an IDP is recommended if the license is not in English or French.
Is a credit card required to rent from Enterprise in Gander?
Yes, a major credit card in the main driver's name with the driver's name printed on the card is required to pick up your Enterprise rental in Gander. The card is used to place a temporary security hold at the counter.
For Canada, the typical security hold is approximately CAD 300 to CAD 500, though the exact amount is set by Enterprise at the Gander counter and may vary by vehicle class or season. The hold reduces your available credit until it is released after you return the vehicle, your bank may take up to 15 business days to reflect the release.
- Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted for the deposit hold.
- Virtual or digital-only card numbers are not accepted; you must present the physical card.
- The card must be in the main driver's name, a third party's card is not permitted.
Even if you prepaid your booking online, you must still present a physical credit card at the Enterprise counter in Gander. Bringing a backup credit card is strongly recommended in case your primary card is declined.
Is there a young driver surcharge for Enterprise rentals in Gander?
Yes, Enterprise applies a young driver surcharge in Gander for renters between the ages of 21 and 24. The underage surcharge is CAD 20 per day and is paid at the counter.
Drivers in this age group may rent Economy through Full Size cars, Cargo and Minivans, Pickup Trucks, and Compact, Small, and Standard SUVs with seating for up to 5 passengers at the Gander locations. Larger or premium vehicle classes may not be available to drivers under 25.
Drivers under 21 are generally not permitted to rent from Enterprise. If you are 25 or older, no young driver surcharge applies.
If you plan to add an additional driver to your Enterprise rental in Gander who is between 21 and 24, the surcharge applies to that driver as well. The additional driver must be present at the Gander counter with a valid license to be added to the rental agreement.
How does Travel Assistance work if something goes wrong during my Enterprise rental in Gander?
Most bookings include Travel Assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection, which can be valuable if you experience a medical emergency, a legal issue after an accident, or a flight disruption while traveling in or around Gander.
Core benefits typically include:
- Travel and medical coverage for up to 5 passengers
- Legal assistance in the event of an accident
- Compensation for baggage lost by the airline
- Flight cancellation insurance
To reach the assistance line 24 hours a day, call +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free) or contact via WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call.
Important: this benefit does not apply to Canadian or US residents. It is designed for travelers visiting from outside North America. It also does not cover damage to your Enterprise rental vehicle, that is handled by CDW/LDW, or third-party liability, which requires separate coverage.
Always check your booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your Gander rental.
Can I return my Enterprise rental car after hours in Gander?
Yes, after-hours returns are available at the Enterprise airport location in Gander (1000 James Boulevard). To return the vehicle outside counter hours, park in the designated Enterprise parking area, lock the doors, and place the keys in the key drop box located at the rental counter inside the terminal.
Keep in mind that the vehicle inspection will take place on the next business day when Enterprise staff are present. It is strongly recommended to take photos of the vehicle's condition, fuel gauge, and odometer before dropping the keys, so you have documentation in case any post-rental charges are disputed.
After-hours returns are not confirmed as available at the second Gander location at 211 Airport Boulevard. If you are unsure which location your rental is assigned to, check your Enterprise rental agreement or booking confirmation.
The standard fuel policy is Full-to-Full, so refuel before returning the vehicle. Refuel as close to the return location as possible to avoid the gauge dropping before you park.
What is the fuel policy for Enterprise rentals in Gander?
Enterprise applies a Full-to-Full fuel policy for rentals in Gander. You will receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.
- At pickup, confirm the fuel level with the Enterprise agent and ensure the starting level is recorded on the rental agreement.
- Take a photo of the dashboard showing the fuel gauge and odometer.
- Refuel as close to the Gander return location as possible before dropping off the vehicle.
- Keep your final fuel receipt as proof in case a charge is disputed.
If you return the Enterprise vehicle in Gander with less than a full tank, you may be charged for the fuel shortfall at the partner's refueling rate, which is typically higher than the pump price, plus a refueling service fee.
For after-hours returns at the Gander Airport location, leave the fuel receipt in the key drop envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge on your phone.
How do I add an additional driver to my Enterprise rental in Gander?
You can add an additional driver to your Enterprise rental in Gander at the counter during pickup. The additional driver must be physically present and bring a valid driver's license.
Whether the additional driver fee is included depends on your rate. Check your booking confirmation for the line that reads "Additional driver free of charge" or similar. If it is not included, Enterprise charges CAD 15 per day for additional drivers in Gander.
Requirements for the additional driver:
- Must be present at the Enterprise counter in Gander at the time of pickup
- Must hold a valid, unexpired driver's license
- Must meet the minimum age requirement (21 or older; drivers aged 21 to 24 may incur the young driver surcharge)
- Must sign the rental agreement
Only drivers listed on the Enterprise rental agreement in Gander are covered by the vehicle's protections such as CDW/LDW. Anyone who drives the vehicle without being named on the contract may void coverage and result in additional charges.
Are there any unusual road layouts in Gander I should know before driving an Enterprise rental?
Yes, Gander has a distinctive road layout that can disorient first-time drivers. The town was planned during its aviation era with streets deliberately designed in the shape of a goose, resulting in curving roads that differ significantly from the standard grid or radial patterns found elsewhere in Canada.
A few specific areas to be aware of when driving your Enterprise rental in Gander:
- Cooper Boulevard features skewed intersections and channelized islands that can be challenging, particularly for turns at Catalina Drive and Roe Avenue.
- The intersection of Cooper Boulevard and the Trans-Canada Highway (Route 1) uses stop-control on the boulevard approach, which is the reverse of typical highway priority and can catch drivers off guard.
- Gander Bay Loop Road (Route 330) has protected zoning with restricted side road access from the town boundary onward.
Newfoundland roads in general can feel less predictable than mainland Canadian roads due to the province's isolated development history. Taking extra care at intersections and allowing additional navigation time when first driving your Enterprise rental around Gander is advisable.
What insurance coverage should I consider for my Enterprise rental in Gander?
When picking up your Enterprise rental in Gander, two main types of coverage are worth understanding before you sign the agreement.
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) reduces your financial liability for damage to the Enterprise vehicle itself, including collision, theft, and vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation explicitly states zero. CDW/LDW does not cover damage you cause to other vehicles or people.
Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI) covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving. In Canada, provincial law requires every rental vehicle to carry a minimum level of third-party liability, so a baseline amount is included by default when you rent through Hola Car Rentals in Gander. You can purchase higher supplemental limits at the Enterprise counter if you want additional protection.
- CDW/LDW covers the Enterprise vehicle you are driving
- Third-party liability covers others you may injure or whose property you may damage
- Personal accident and personal effects coverage are separate optional add-ons
Review your booking confirmation before arriving at the Gander counter to confirm which coverages are already included in your rate.
