Short answer

Enterprise Center strongly discourages bags. It bans backpacks, coolers, hard-sided bags, luggage and any bag over 16 by 16 inches, and x-rays all other bags, while clutches up to 6 by 4 by 1.5 inches skip the x-ray. An empty plastic reusable bottle up to 2 liters is allowed, umbrellas are allowed, and there is no re-entry.
