Enterprise have four car rental offices dotted across Pasadena, all of which are within a mile or two of the city’s downtown district. The closest one to downtown is their office on Lincoln Avenue on the outskirts of the Orange Heights neighborhood. All of the offices are open throughout the week, but some are closed for part or all of the weekend. When it comes to car availability, Enterprise offer an excellent choice of vehicles for rent in Pasadena. Among the most notable deals we found were a 7-seater Chrysler Pacifica minivan priced at a reasonable $66 per day and a Nissan LEAF electric car for $59 per day.
