    They pick you up at home/work with Enterprise.

    You probably won't get to choose one, the vehiclel will have been chosen and assigned to you based on the group of car.

    Hopefulyl you will get the equivalent so if your 7 seat Zafira for instance is getting repaired you will get something of a similar size and not a little Corsa.

    Is it an insurance job?

    They will also try to upsell insurance addons for damage and excess waivers.

    If the car is full of fuel when you get it make sure you fill it back up or it will be £1.50 a litre minimum.

    Yes its an insurance job, what i mean is will i be able to choose from cars in the same class as my current eg i have a 206 would i have cars which are in the same class as the 206, id prefer a 206 as ive used it alot, im just worried that i get a car which i find hard to drive, im sure ill be ok though,

    thanks for replying

    Enterprise will not have a 206 anymore, too old.

    You may get a 207, have a look on their website and it will give the most common model that they use for your size, probably a Corsa

    You could even do a dummy booking to see what they have available, just don't confirm the booking.

    Both are Superminis so yes they are the same class.

    Punto/Fiesta/Polo/206/C2maybe C3/Corsa/Yaris all the same size really

    Still the same class regardless.
