Enterprise’s military discount is 5% off the base rate on personal rentals for active duty, retirees and veterans (and federal employees). It sounds small and it is smaller than it looks: taxes and fees are not discounted, so on a typical rental 5% of the base rate works out to about 3.8% of the total bill. No online verification; you show ID at the counter.

What 5% is worth on a real rental
Example: a $50-a-day base rate for 4 days is $200. 5% saves $10. With taxes and fees of about $60, the bill drops from about $260 to $250, which is 3.8%. On official travel, government rates apply instead.

What other sites get wrong
- “National Guard and Reserve qualify.” Enterprise lists active duty, retirees and veterans, not Guard/Reserve.
- “Families qualify.” Family members are not named.
- “5% off your rental.” It is 5% of the base rate; taxes and fees stay the same.
