Newark is a junction town in the truest sense—you’ve got the A46, the A1, and the A17 all converging like spokes on a wheel. Enterprise’s location on Northern Road puts you within five minutes of the motorway network, which means Lincolnshire’s Wolds, Nottingham’s nightlife, and Sherwood Forest are all within a 45-minute cruise.
There’s a peculiar joy in pointing a rental car toward a destination you’ve never visited before. You could head east to the sleepy fenlands of Boston, or west to the rolling hills of the Peak District—both are just a tank of fuel away. The team at Enterprise knows these roads, and they’ll happily scribble down a pub recommendation on the back of your rental agreement.
The Fleet: More Than Just ‘A Car’
Enterprise’s Newark branch stocks everything from a zippy Ford Fiesta for town trips to a hulking Luton van for moving a three-bedroom house. The sweet spot? The Renault Kangoo or Vauxhall Vivaro—vans that feel like a secret weapon for tip runs or transporting a vintage armchair from a local antiques shop.
Here’s a fun fact: Enterprise pioneered the “hire a car to everyone under 25” policy back in the 1990s. If you’re a bit younger or a first-time renter in Newark, don’t sweat it. They’ll likely say yes—and with full insurance included, you’re covered for those tight car park scrapes near the town’s cobbled market square.
