Under Enterprise Holdings (Enterprise Mobility)'s policy, points have no value after death. Every strategy for preserving Enterprise Plus points depends on steps taken while the account holder is alive.
Members can transfer points to other Enterprise Plus members while their account is active. This may involve a fee, but it is the most straightforward way to share points with family.
How to protect your Enterprise Plus points
4 lifetime planning steps for your Enterprise Plus points:
- •The recipient must already be an Enterprise Plus member in good standing with an activated account
- •You may transfer between 100 and 20,000 points, once per calendar year out of your account
- •Transferred points assume the later of the recipient's existing expiration date or three months from transfer, and the transfer is irreversible
Family sharing
During a member's lifetime, points can be transferred to a friend or family member who is also an Enterprise Plus member in good standing. Per the published Terms & Conditions, a member may transfer between 100 and 20,000 points, with a maximum of one transfer out of an account and one transfer into an account per calendar year. The recipient's account must be activated before the transfer. Transferred points assume the later of the expiration date on the recipient's existing balance or three months from the date of transfer, and that date can be extended 36 months if the recipient earns one or more points for a qualifying activity before it lapses. Once points are transferred, the transfer cannot be reversed. Free Rental Days (the redemption certificates issued from points) are non-transferable. There is no family-pooling feature and no death exception to the once-per-calendar-year limit, so the only reliable way to share value across a household is the planned lifetime transfer or redeeming points for rentals.
Should you save your passwords for your family?
Some people store account passwords so a family member can sign in later. The practice has three practical limits:
- Two-factor authentication often blocks it. Most accounts require a second factor — a code sent to a phone, an authenticator app, a passkey, or a physical key. A saved password alone frequently does not grant access, and the recovery codes that would are easy to lose or let go stale.
- It usually conflicts with the platform's terms. Most operators prohibit account sharing and signing in as another person, including after a death. Stored credentials are not the operator's recognized access path, and using them can violate the terms of service.
- Operators provide other paths. Where an operator offers a designation tool — Apple's Legacy Contact, Google's Inactive Account Manager, a beneficiary designation — that mechanism grants access the operator recognizes. A password manager's own emergency-access or legacy feature passes credentials through a controlled process. Digital assets named in a will or trust give a fiduciary authority under each state's Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act (RUFADAA).
Frequently asked questions
Yes. A member may transfer between 100 and 20,000 points to another Enterprise Plus member in good standing, with a maximum of one transfer out of an account and one transfer into an account per calendar year. The recipient's account must be activated before the transfer, and once points are transferred the transfer cannot be reversed. Free Rental Days (the redemption certificates) are themselves non-transferable.
Yes. For members residing in countries other than Austria, Denmark, Germany, or Spain, points expire and are forfeited upon the earlier of termination of the membership for any reason or 36 consecutive months of inactivity. Points do not expire only as long as the member stays active with at least one qualifying rental every three years.
Because the points are non-inheritable and forfeited on account closure, the dependable options are to redeem them for free rental days or to transfer them to a family member's Enterprise Plus account during your lifetime, keeping the account active to avoid the 36-month inactivity forfeiture. Record the account number and the email on the account in your estate plan so your executor can locate the account and report the death to Member Services to close it.
Listing the Enterprise Plus account in an estate inventory identifies it for a fiduciary, who works through the operator's official channels to manage or close it.
Enterprise Plus does not support beneficiary designations. Unlike financial accounts, there is no way to name a beneficiary on this type of account.
