That all depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in Stanford. Compact or economy automobiles are good for short commutes and are easier to park. Commute times in Stanford average 28 minutes, so you may find a SUV or mid-size car provides a more comfortable ride. Or if you want to keep your emissions down, then go for a hybrid vehicle.

You are required to have insurance before you rent from Enterprise in the United States. Many of the major credit card issuers (Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover) usually offer coverage. But many of them have limitations, such as not covering large vehicles, like premium models or some SUVs. Make sure to call and find out exactly what your credit card will cover and how much before you head to Stanford.

Enterprise does require a deposit when you book your rental car. Enterprise will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your vehicle for your trip. Please be aware that the deposit can vary greatly depending on the make and model of the vehicle.
At CarRentals.com, we suggest a full tank policy. You receive the car with full tank, and you should bring it back it with a full tank of gas. To avoid any added expenses, it is best to find a filling station before you bring your car back to Enterprise. Stations near airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.
Stanford's small-town atmosphere definitely is charming, but you may want to hit the road again after you've checked off all the activities in Stanford.
Enterprise usually offers one-way rentals. You may find it easier to drop off your vehicle at a different Enterprise. Don't forget there may be an additional charge when you opt for one-way.
