Enterprise Rideshare Rentals vs Drive It Pro – Rideshare Rentals
Having a nationally recognized name in the car rental service like Enterprise Rent-A-Car, due to being in business for 65 years, has given them the ability to naturally expand their rental programs to include Enterprise Rideshare Rentals. And, many find the comfort of doing business with a name they known or perhaps rented from before. But, when dealing with most national car rental services, there can be limitations, such as what platforms you can drive for, or renting a vehicle that is not as cost effective as a Toyota Prius, when you drive for a living.
Enter Drive It Pro – Rideshare Rentals, the Enterprise Rideshare Alternative. While, not a nationally known car rental company, expansion has already occurred, now having a location in Phoenix, as well as another in Mesa. Both having a garage and a crew of mechanics, to maintain and repair the hundreds of hybrid vehicles (mostly Toyota Prius), to ensure that you can create your independence and a lucrative business, no matter which or how many platforms you choose to sign up for.
Let’s examine the difference between Enterprise Rideshare Rentals and Drive It Pro – Rideshare Rentals, and weigh the pros and cons.
Why Choose Drive It Pro Over Enterprise?
Enterprise Rent-A-Car is a trusted name in the rental industry, but when it comes to rideshare drivers, Drive It Pro offers a tailored experience that Enterprise simply can’t match. Here’s why:

Enterprise Rideshare (Partner Program)
Pros:
- Nationwide access: Enterprise Rideshare programs are available in every major city.
- Insurance Included: The price that you see includes the needed commercial insurance for the specific app you are signing up with.
- Maintenance: They have high standards for vehicle maintenance and newer models of vehicles.
Cons:
- Lock-In to Platform: If you rent through the Lyft or DoorDash portal, your contract prohibits you from Driving for Uber or other platforms.
- Stricter Credit & Age Requirements: You must be 25 years old and often requires a credit card (not debit card) to meet their criteria.
- No Equity acquired: No matter how long you rent from Enterprise Rideshare, there is no ability to own the vehicle after a determined rental period.
Drive It Pro – Rideshare Rentals
Drive It Pro is a specialized, local alternative, with two locations, one in Phoenix and the other in Mesa. These rentals are designed specifically for gig workers who want to maximize earnings across multiple apps.
Pros:
- Multi-App Freedom: You are welcome to use any and all platforms that you wish to use (Uber, Lyft, Instacart, etc.) to maximize your earnings.
- Rent-to-Own: This is the standout feature. If you initiate this option at the time of signing the agreement, your payments can earn you owning the vehicle (after 48 months of consistent and on-time payments).
- Fuel Efficiency: Our fleet of vehicles are almost exclusively Prius hybrids, which is critical for a sustainable profit margin with rideshare.
- Easy to Rent: No credit checks, no massive security deposits, and a lower age requirement (21+)
- Maintenance: There are two on-site garages to keep the hybrids properly maintained and major repairs as well.
Cons:
- Geographic Limitations: You must be in the Maricopa County to rent, cities included are Phoenix, Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Avondale and Scottsdale.
- Insurance Management: You have to source your own liability insurance (though they can guide you to affordable options).
Which Should you Choose?
- Choose Enterprise Rideshare Rentals if: You are outside of arizona, you only plan to drive for one specific app (like Uber) for a short period, and you prefer the “all-in-one” convenience of included insurance.
- Choose Drive It Pro – Rideshare Rentals if: You are in the Phoenix or surrounding areas, you want the ability to “multi-app” to increase your ability to make money, if you are 21 years or older, like the fact that you can drive the vehicle for your own personal needs, or if you are interested in the fact that your rental payments can lead to eventually owning the car.
