The new Penarth Road site is the largest of the three Enterprise locations in the city and is open seven days a week, providing access to a wide range of low- and zero-emission cars and vans for hire.

Various different electric vehicles are available, as well as charging facilities.

Three Enterprise Car Club vehicles are also located at the branch, bringing the company’s car club fleet in Cardiff to 20 vehicles.

Enterprise said it’s seeing more local businesses and residents turning to rental as the cost of living rises.

Randall Rickabaugh, head of mobility for enterprise in Wales and the South West, commented: “Cardiff is proud of its commitment to sustainable transport and we’re happy to be a part of that.

“We are really pleased to be extending access to flexible vehicle hire as well as offering more Enterprise Car Club vehicles helping to meet the growing demand for rental. Shared transport reduces the cost of mobility and reduces emissions, so it’s a win-win for everyone.”

The opening was attended by Vaughan Gething, member of the Senedd for Cardiff South and Penarth, who said: “Creating choice and diversity around mobility is a crucial part of making Cardiff a sustainable city. Shared transport also supports the Welsh government’s commitment to tackling climate change.

“Enterprise is helping support our sustainability goals while creating jobs and opportunities for local people, which are excellent reasons to celebrate the continuing growth of the company’s presence in Cardiff.”
