Unlock & Go

How to Guides
Using the Pin Pad
Step 1: Pin Entry
When you've entered your vehicle and are ready to start your reservation, locate the pin pad in the glove compartment and enter your pin. The pin will have been provided to you when you made your reservation and can be found in your reservation details on the app. Then retrieve the keys from the back of the device.
Step 2: Damage Check
The pin pad will then ask you whether you have checked the vehicle for damage or not as part of your ‘ Take 5 before you drive ’. Please ensure you check the vehicle for any damage using the damage evaluator tool provided and select ' Yes ' on the pin pad.
If you accidently selected ‘ No ’ and have found damage on the vehicle please report this to the Clubhouse as per the directions in ‘ Step 3 ’ below.
If you have not checked the vehicle for damage
– and reported any you may have found –
prior to starting your reservation, you may be held accountable and charged the applicable
damage excess.
Step 3: Report Damage
Next the pin-pad will prompt you to report any damages you may have found. You can do this by calling the clubhouse on 0818 202 101 or by emailing pictures, with your reservation ID in the subject line to membership@enterprisecarclub.ie.
Please press ' 1 ' once you have completed your check for damage and reported anything you may have found.
Step 4: Trip Data
During your reservation, the pin-pad will display your trip data on the screen. This will include information such as your reservation start/end time and how many miles you have driven
Step 5: Lock the vehicle
It is essential to return your vehicle on time to ensure other members are not inconvenienced. If you are running late, please inform us as early as possible so that we can make alternative arrangements for any other member who may be affected. If you need to cancel or change a reservation, please give as much notice as possible to ensure maximum availability for other members. When you've returned your vehicle to its bay, the pin pad will prompt you to lock the vehicle with your smartcard - this can also be done using the app.

Extending a reservation

If in doubt, please call the clubhouse team (for free from the PIN pad) to prevent any other members being inconvenienced. If members are late and do not let us know they’ll be charged a £30 late fee plus 20p per minute for the duration over their original reservation. Additionally, any costs accrued by any member who is kept waiting may be passed on.

Ending a reservation
Once you have turned the engine off, simply open the glove box and place the key fob which is attached to the keys, in to the in-car pin pad and follow the on-screen prompts. Once completed and you have collected all of your belongings, simply lock the car via the app.
The mobile app will not allow you to lock the vehicle over the booking time – in this instance, please use a contactless card. Once you had heard the car lock please check the doors to make sure they are locked before leaving.

Charging an electric vehicle
Retrieve the pin pad from the glove box and remove the charge card. Tap it against the charging port reader. Open the port cover and plug in the charger. Then open the vehicle port and plug in the other end of charger. Return your charge card to the pin pad. If in doubt call the clubhouse via the pin pad on 0345 266 9290 and chat hands free. Remember to lock the vehicle and leave it to charge.
Other useful information:
There are three main types of EV charge point (slow, fast and rapid) as well as a number of charging connectors, some of which are suitable for a particular EV. You can use Zap-map.com to find your nearest or plan your journey, but you can also see what type of charging point is where.
It’s important to always take the charging cable with you once you have taken the vehicle off charge; the cable belongs to the car and not the charging point. They are expensive to replace so always check it has been stowed correctly before setting off (follow the instructions in the guide which you will find inside each vehicle).
-
Unplugging an electric vehicle
Retrieve the pin pad from the glovebox. Enter your pin and remove the charge card. Place it against the charging port reader and remove the charging cable from both the charging ports. Ensure all port covers are securely closed and cables are safely stored inside the vehicle.
-
Fuelling the vehicle
Park the vehicle and switch off the ignition. Retrieve the fuel card from the pin pad located in the glove box or near the driver’s side door. Refuel the vehicle and take the fuel card to the kiosk and hand the card to the cashier. If you need a pin you can find this in your booking confirmation. Always return the tank at least 1/4 full. If I’m doubt call the Clubhouse via the pin pad on 0345 266 9290 and chat hands free.

Why is it dangerous to leave hand sanitiser in vehicles?
The NHS has warned that leaving your hand sanitiser in a vehicle can become a fire risk. Most hand sanitisers contain an element of alcohol which is highly flammable and when combined with high temperatures can cause a fire. For this reason, we strongly advise you take your hand sanitiser with you every time you leave a vehicle.
