Just got back from your Long Beach location on Artesia Blvd. The manager Ashley is abusive, belligerent, disrespectful, and illegally violated my rights. I am disabled and have a service dog. She proceeded in a hostile manner to tell me if there is any hair from my dog in the car she will charge me a cleaning fee. That is illegal! Also, she gave me a very difficult time while trying to rent a car. She denied me a rental based on what she perceived was inaccurate. I have rented cars from that location several times and presented the same credentials. She did this in retaliation. I am filing a disabilities claim with the federal gov't. This manager is the antithesis of acceptable customer service.
L, we assure you that we do not find this type of behavior acceptable, and we would like to address this with you directly.

I go to Enterprise Car Rental a lot I mean alot and have had some really great customer service but what can I say about an employee that really goes that extra distance that extra 5 miles his name is Mr. HAYDEN **. I mean this guy is so sweet and has such wonderful manners, always that amazing smile, even gets out the car open the door for you. I mean if that isn't customer service I don't know what is. But I just want to thank y'all for hiring such a gem.

I am VERY unsatisfied. I reserved a car for 4 days. I’m from Missouri, the closest office is about 20 miles from me in Arkansas. I show up today to get my ride at 2:00. There was nobody there, a note on the door that says “We are closed be back in an hour”. I called another office about 30 minutes away from that office location to see what was going on. The representative told me the person running that office e today would be back in about 20-25 minutes. I said ok. I waited. He gets back I go in ready to hit the road as now I’m at least an hour behind. He tells me he can’t rent to me because I don’t have a major credit card, however I asked to use my major bank debit card. He said no. He would get fired. He also told me that I couldn’t rent there because it was out of the state where I lived without a major credit card and told me it’s on the website. After I told him they should put that on the website he says it is on very small writing. I leave furious.
I go back with my brother who was with me to use a credit card of his, they said no again.. At this point I’m running 1 hour behind in schedule. I had no choice but to take my brother home and drop him off seeing as to how they wasn’t going to let me get a car. After dropping him off I read the policies. Policy states I CAN use a debit ban card! And I can rent if I live within 50 miles!!!!
I called the other office w that was about 30 minutes away. He said, "Ma'am I’m sorry. They have updated the policy so yes you can rent a car," I let him know how unsatisfied I was with the whole experience. He said, "Ma'am I’m sorry but by law we have to let him have a lunch and he was the only one working," I said, "No. There was another Enterprise employee working with him. They BOTH got out of the vehicle coming back from HIS lunch." I’m absolutely upset. It’s 4:00 and I’m just now hitting the road in my own vehicle because I refuse to deal with that office again. He gave me every excuse not to rent to me and my husband, he gave me hell to even add him as a driver. Asked if it was my husband. Asked if I had full coverage. Showed him proof of all, yes he is my husband. I think this representative discriminated beyond anything I've ever felt in my entire life.

My car was in a serious accident so was in shop for weeks (a whole other experience!). I rented off and on from Enterprise on Rockwell in OKC. From start to finish I enjoyed a hassle-free experience. The reservation web site is easy to use, the prices are reasonable, and the folks are super-nice. A young man, Stephen, picked me up at my home and took care of everything right there in the car at Enterprise. So easy! On the way there, we had a great conversation - he was very engaging considering he was chatting with someone nearly 3X his mid-20’s age. Car was nice - very clean and roomy for a compact. Each time I returned a car, I was offered a ride home. Stephen and Erin, in particular, are great reps for Enterprise. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. This is comparable to my experiences with Enterprise in Dallas and Phoenix, also.
Mary, Enterprise thanks you for the great review and business! We're so glad to hear that Erin and Stephen provided you with exceptional service and will pass your comments along to our team at the Rockwell-OKC office. We look forward to seeing you soon! - Carol

The first time I rented a vehicle from Enterprise was so long ago, they took cash deposits. Throughout the years I’ve had excellent experiences, from wonderful customer service to A++ vehicles. Sadly I will NEVER rent another vehicle from Enterprise. On the 28th of January I walked into Enterprise on University in Huntsville, AL. with the intent to rent a car for 2 weeks in order to have a reliable vehicle for work. I handed them a prepaid card. The same card I used in October 2019 and on several other occasions for the last three years. I signed the paperwork, he then swiped the card for $686+ for the 2 weeks including the deposit.
What happened next is very difficult for me. He informed me that he was unable to accept that card as payment. I had no other card with me. I spoke with the Manager who advised me that per company policy they don’t accept prepaid cards. I asked when did that go into effect since he personally rented me a truck back in October? He said, it’s ALWAYS been that way. I asked why I wasn’t told prior to swiping my card. No real explanation... He then assured me that the funds would be credited to the card. I left that location with NO CAR and NO MONEY!
Today is the 14th day of February and needless to say, I am still waiting. I’ve spoken with the accounting dept. in Birmingham, AL, Customer Care in St. Louis and the card company. I’ve been given the runaround and sent off in so many different directions that made my head spin. Broken promises of callbacks from Enterprise Employees, late notices from my complex and a slew of other things. Finally my card company advised me that if Enterprise doesn’t respond after 30 days I should automatically be credited. However, I’m at a point that I don’t even trust that information. I am in tears as I write this, I have lost so much in this process and feel wronged in so many areas. But it appears that since it’s my problem, it has fallen on DEAF EARS.
Georgia, our universal renter requirements say the amount of the estimated cost of the rental plus $200 will be held on a credit or debit card at the beginning of your rental. I assure you this policy keeps rates low for all of our customers.

Spoke to someone on the phone who made arrangements for me to be picked up today at an address that is within 2 km of their office in Deansgrange. The arrangement was confirmed to me via email too. Today, nobody came to pick me up. I tried to call for a solid 10 minutes - re-dialing every few minutes. Nobody answered the phone even though they are open between 1pm and 2pm. Drove to their office and there found out that they were never planning to pick me up as I dropped off my car somewhere else. They are unable to do that, they said. But nobody told me nor notified me at any time before today about this! Worthless service and terrible customer service.

Enterprise was recommended to me by my colleagues and friends. After reading some great reviews, I chose to go with their recommendation. On previous trips, I would take the Uber route, which can be quite pricey and time-consuming. However, I decided to rent a car this time, as I planned to scout out some apartments in the area and it seemed like the more practical thing to do.
The overall process of picking up the car and returning it was great. However, it was quite unfortunate that I was unable to use the car as much as I had originally planned. As a person with severe allergies, especially to pet fur, I would have liked to know, PRIOR to renting the vehicle, that the car had been cleaned properly/professionally to remove any lingering hairs that may have been shed by someone else's pet. If Enterprise is going to rent their vehicles to people with pets, they should ensure that they thoroughly clean the vehicle when it's returned (or at least warn the next buyer to help avoid potential allergic reactions), especially the vehicles with cloth seats where the fur is likely to stick to.
The most unfortunate part about this was that we had to pay for the rental itself each day as well as parking when in fact, we didn't even use the vehicle as much as we thought we would. Instead, we ended up spending more money on Uber and Bird scooters to get around, as being in the car was very unbearable (even with the windows down). When I was in the car, my eyes would immediately start watering up, I would get a massive headache, and a runny nose. Due to this issue, I was unable to see as much of San Diego as I would have liked. Although the process of renting from Enterprise was very pleasant, the lack of cleanliness may be the nail in the coffin that leads me to explore other car rental companies in the future.
Brianne, we appreciate it when customers tell us about their experiences as it is the only way we can improve the rental experience for all of your valued customers. I would be happy to bring your concern to the attention of our management team. Please email Care@Enterprise.com with your contact telephone number, email address, branch location, your reservation or rental agreement. Thank you! - Carol H.

I just rented a Chevrolet Malibu at the Orlando Airport this last weekend. The pick up time was past 7pm. I looked round the car as much for scratches but didn't notice any and felt all was well. Went to the hotel less than 10 minutes drive. The next morning, as I am about to drive off, I noticed a straight line crack of about six inches toward the top of the windshield. This was noticed mostly because of the sun's rays angle.
I immediately called the customer office and explained and they said no problem. Still not satisfied, I drove back to the airport for physical review by the customer service on ground. Both the officer on ground and at the office gave me the impression that I was good to go. I just got a mail from the Damage recovery unit claiming I have liability. I find this very low of Enterprise which I have been a customer for over ten years with more than hundred days rental with no incidents. I feel they just had to dump the liability on a customer because I am hundred percent sure it didn't happen during my time.

Not the first time that I rented a car from Enterprise, but probably the last time. I picked up the car in Windsor, ON. It was a typical winter day so the car was partially covered in snow. Routinely checking the outside for scratches, but nothing obvious, no issues and relatively quick process. All went well, I had not issues with the car, and dropped it off as planned after hours at the Dundas, ON location.
Next morning, I received a phone call from the rental location that I am responsible for scratches on the rim that they newly detected. I assured them that I would have noticed if I hit a curb or anything, and that this may have well been there before I rented the car but would have gone unnoticed as neither I nor the rental agent in Windsor would have checked the rims thoroughly, plus there was snow on the rims. The agent I was speaking to did not care about this, and referred to the damage recovery unit who will be in contact to me when I said that I do not believe that I was responsible for the damage, other than the fact that I did not brush off the snow from the rims to inspect them in detail.
When I eventually received the photos from the damage along with the invoice for the repairs, I was underwhelmed: yes, there were scratches on the rim, but to an extent that probably no customer would notice even if inspecting the rim -and probably neither did the rental agents down in Windsor when they had the car returned before I rented it. Enterprise is charging me $271,80 to get the rim replaced, plus a $75 admin fee and $6.34 for loss of use for a very minor damage for which I am not responsible. I understand that I am responsible from a legal perspective as I did not notice the damage when I accepted the car, but I would have expected some common sense from a car rental agency when I outlined my point of view.
Two stars because -other than this issue- I was satisfied with the rental. My advice for customers of Enterprise: take pictures of the care when you pick it up. If you did not notice something when you took ownership and they blame you for being responsible for a minor damage, you may be able to proof with the photos that it was already there (or covered by snow or dirt) -despite the fact that you may not have seen it when you inspected the car.

If I could give ZERO stars too I would!!! About a month ago I rented a car from Enterprise in Quincy, MA. Everything went smooth getting the car. I was told I could drop the rental off at any of the enterprise locations. There was also a $200.00 deposit at the time of pick up and I was told once I returned the car it would be refunded back to my bank account.
It was a Friday night when I dropped the rental off at the Enterprise in Whitman MA. By Wednesday I noticed my $200 was not back in my account. I called the Whitman enterprise since that’s where the rental was dropped off. A staff member named Kyle told me that it was the Enterprise in Quincy fault; they needed to close out my “Ticket”. Kyle was NOT helpful and rude. So, I called Quincy’s enterprise trying to find my money. A lady from there explained to me that she would have no way of knowing where the car was dropped and that it was Whitman’s responsible for closing out my “Ticket”. So, here I go calling Whitman again for the second time trying to find out where my $200 is. I called Kyle again but every time I called I was hung up on.
NOW, I’m beyond frustrated with this situation. I then call customer service, which is a complete joke. They could only tell me that my ticket was still open with Whitman’s Enterprise. They couldn’t close out my “ticket or return my $200. I requested to speak with a manager. Of course, I was told they would call me back the next day. Two days go by and no call. I call again, same thing over and over again. It’s now been about 3 weeks and NO manager or district manager has reached out to me in regards to my horrible services I received.
I think it's disgust that this corporation allows this kind of customer service, especially when they profit billions of our hard working money every year. I pretty much paid Enterprise over $315 to bully me around and add to my anxiety/pain disorder. I live on a very strict budget because I’m one of those people that live paycheck to paycheck. So when my $200 gets high jacked, it affects my everyday living situation, like my family’s groceries. Thanks for the call Enterprise!
Rebecca, all deposit holds are released on the same day you return the vehicle when the rental ticket is closed out. How fast you receive it back, is determined by your bank or credit card. Are you waiting for you deposit to be returned? We'd be happy to check on the process for you. To do so, please email Care@Enterprise.com your contact information, reservation or rental agreement number, the exact rental office location, the complete details. We look forward to hearing from you soon. –Carol H

On January 28th, 2020, I rented a vehicle through Enterprise while my vehicle was getting repaired. Later that evening while driving home from work, I struck a deer in the rental and needed it to be towed and a new rental vehicle ASAP. It took a tow truck driver 5 hours to reach the vehicle. I was originally told it was going to take 2.5 hours to reach me (keep in mind it was 11:30 pm and 10° outside with no heat). A wonderful commuter strap towed me into town (2 miles from my house) so I could have heat and comfort at home while I waited for the car to be picked up. I called roadside assistance back and informed them of the new location of the vehicle being at my residence. During that call, they scheduled an exchange or a drop off of a vehicle at my house (which was then changed to my place of employment because I lived too far away for delivery).
After calling and confirming my drop off time and location of the new rental, I later found out that I had been lied to. I did not receive a vehicle. After being on the phone another time for approximately 1.5 hours, I was promised that my car would be dropped off at my place of employment by 6pm CST so I could have a vehicle to drive home. I was LIED to, AGAIN. At this point (while at work) I was on the phone with roadside assistance, customer service, and/or the escalations department for over 3 hours, to figure out why my car wasn't delivered.... The reason? I was told that the employees at the enterprise airport location failed to confirm they had a vehicle to be picked up for me. They never confirmed they had a vehicle (which by the way, they had 0, zero, vehicles available).
In those 3 hours of endless transfers and conversations of having to repeat my story multiple times, I had spoken to approximately 25 people about my situation to get a vehicle. Which by this point, has been over 16 HOURS of waiting to get a replacement vehicle. I called the DIRECT customer care line, spoke to a wonderful gentleman named David, and he was able to reserve a rental the next day to be picked up at a local branch location. Mind you, I never got my vehicle so I could drive home from work. I have escalated this within the customer care department and expect to hear back soon. Not me, my spouse, my family, or my friends will ever rent from this entire corporation again. What a despicable way to treat a customer that just needed a means of transportation! I would review this -5 stars if I could!

To begin with the Enterprise Rent A Car employee forgot to pick me up! The vehicles don’t come with block heaters in Spruce Grove, Alberta. They don’t tell you that, even when you rent one from them in -30C weather. When you call them because the car won’t start they tell you “The manufacturers don’t put them in because they guarantee the car will start“ then they give you enterprise’s roadside assistance phone number. Unfortunately enterprise rent a car’s roadside assistance won’t come and boost THEIR car that COULD NOT be plugged in when it’s -30C unless YOU pay them $80! They even told me they would still charge my credit card if I returned the keys to them. I lost 4 hours at work to get their car back to them.

I currently have a transportation dilemma. So over a year I turned to Enterprise for help in the weekend. So every weekend for a year and a half I've been renting. I started with the Longwood office just one bad experience after the other. I've spoken more times than I care to express with Matthew. He's the district manager? My experiences are vast. I typically reserve a a compact car but in numerous occasions I was forced into something larger because enterprise doesn't hold cars. I tried explaining to the branch I couldn't afford a larger vehicle because I couldn't afford the gas! I'm on a rigid budget! However, I'm renting every weekend because I need transportation.
Once I picked up a car it wasn't clean. The representative asked, "Are you going to need the trunk?" I asked why. He stated because they didn't vacuum it! I replied I don't pay to rent the front seat and the remainder of the car is off limits?! I've had an employee yelling my name every time I entered the branch because he knew it annoyed me! Just recently returned a car Monday it was not processed returned until two days later. I called and spoke with the manager (African American gentlemen) who verified the car wasn't checked in until Wednesday! It was upsetting because now I wasn't going to have my deposit for my next weekend rental. The manager actually made it right!
I thought I'd switch branches for a while. I tried Fernpark branch. It was horrible! My first experienced I reserved a compact I received a "courtesy call" where the rep told me in his words, "Just calling to tell you we don't have any compact cars. We're putting you in a truck. It's the best we can do"! And then replied as I asked questions and voiced concerns he interrupted me and said, "It doesn't matter. We have you in a truck"! He finished the conversation by asking, "Do you need to be picked up?" I stated yes. He advised, "We're picking you up at 5pm. We don't do any pick ups after 5pm." I stated that's enterprises staple no other branch has ever said that me.
Nick (the manager) chimed in and verified, "If you need a ride get here before 5:00pm"! REALLY! They put me in a truck! I laughed a complaint. Matthew called and wanted to know if Nick offered me gas money? What? No! Matthew did take care of it! I'm writing today because I've had yet another horrible experience in Longwood. I used points to get a free day. Well they charged me for 2 additional hours which placed my bill right back to regular pricing so it didn't look like or feel like a free day!
Guys I'm at a lost with enterprise. This platinum status SUCKS between two branches it's been Hell! I'm to think my contribution pays salaries but you're always treated like you're the problem for asking questions. Almost two years later I think I'm literally gonna walk away! Enterprise wins you've pushed me out! The one branch I Love is Sanford Lakemary but they're too far from where I live. The Manager Tay is absolutely a Real Manager who loves her clients and she treats us like it! Disgruntled, Disappointed, Tired! I just need transportation not all the other stuff and to be platinum status would've been nice!

I rented a car from Enterprise in October 2019. On January 20th I noticed a charge on my credit card from Enterprise for 230.00. On January 27th, I received a letter from Enterprise saying they billed me an additional 230.00. When I called the Customer Service Department it took 45 minutes to get a half baked explanation. It was for a traffic camera moving violation. I was told they tried to contact me by mail and waited 4 days to charge my credit card. When I pointed out that two of those days were weekend without mail delivery she gave weak apology but said there was nothing they can do.
So now I can be billed by a municipality for a "phantom" moving offense with no opportunity to defend myself? Thanks Enterprise for what I perceive as credit card fraud. I was very frustrated by customer service response that they are only required to wait 4 days after attempting to contact me. Even though Enterprise had my phone number and my email address, no attempt was ever made to contact me that way. They chose snail mail and counted the weekend as two of the days. Very, very bad business... Extremely unethical if not downright illegal.
paul, customers agree to pay for all fines, costs and fees for legal violations, parking, tolls, towing, and storage attached to the rental vehicle during the rental period at the beginning of the contract.

I rented a car using mileage, and was met with very friendly staff to pick up my car. I added extra collision insurance because of bad weather, which I am glad I did as I had an accident. The Collision Care team was super helpful and very nice. However customer service falls apart when I receive a replacement car, that was charged separately. They said they could not do a transfer for the car because of a separate computer system and that it would get squared away when I returned the car. NOT SO. It's been a week and a half and the rental counters are working as different agencies, neither willing to refund my costs of the replacement car. In essence I had to pay for TWO concurrent rental contracts for one car, not to mention the loss of a vehicle for an entire day. I would avoid using Enterprise Rent a Car if you can, as they will pass costs onto customers instead of owning up to the failure of their own infrastructure.

Jule, although reservations are accepted on a controlled-capacity basis to assure over bookings don't occur, sometimes unforeseen circumstances such as inclement weather, late returns, and unexpected extensions effect reservations in your area.

I have had to bring back a car because the change oil light was on, agent said they could not turn it off, next day a check oil levels came on. I made her take it back. 2nd car we got had an expired inspection sticker, we got pulled over in a school pick up line, in front of my daughter's school. Even though the officer was give us a friendly “heads up” my wife’s embarrassment was enough for us to return the car...and use a friend's car instead. I work out of town so I am not present to make a stink, my wife is “It’s not their fault” type person when it comes to Company representative and complaining about stuff, and I am not. This is as unprofessional as gets, but sad to say the several ppl asking why my wife “Why was that cop harassing you” but this is just passive aggressive gossip.

Had accident in my vehicle so needed rental car and I found Enterprise Rental Car @ 333 W Kimberly in Davenport Iowa open so I got a ride from Illinois to pick up rental car. Since my insurance company had not approved a rental vehicle yet since it was the weekend, I paid for a small car to drive. The employees were very helpful to assist me and answer any questions I had so I was impressed. The next day the insurance company called to change the rental over to the claim so I asked for a bigger vehicle to drive in winter weather and was given a mini-van....Again, really good service and helpful and friendly.. Then, the tire was low on the van and when I went to put air in I could not get it to raise the tire pressure so I returned it to Enterprise and they gave me a truck to drive. As confusing as it was, the company personnel was again so helpful and told me all the pertinent information to drive the vehicle.
My vehicle was in the shop over 30 days for repairs (even with using a preferred provider of my insurance company) so I was forced to pay for the remaining days without my vehicle for rental car coverage. So I again traded the truck to a smaller car and the staff was so helpful and friendly....even though each time they had to go outside in cold weather to inspect each vehicle and show me all the features of each. I was really impressed with all of the staff....so they deserve a reward. So, I promised that I would be bringing in treats for all for the exceptional service I received at the facility to thank them for good service for all 4 vehicles that I rented from the facility over the 6 week timeframe I was without my vehicle.
Then when my vehicle was repaired and it was time to pick it up, I was able to drop off my rental car in Moline, Illinois at a different location and they were also very friendly and helpful when returning it. Then, I was given a ride to the local dealership to pick up my own vehicle by one of the staff members....so that was very helpful. So, overall I had an exceptional rental car experience with Enterprise Rental Car and would recommend either of these 2 facilities to anyone needing a rental car. Thanks Enterprise rental car for providing me with exceptional customer service when I really needed it! I appreciate all that assisted me in my time of need!

Nastiest pickup person ever. I reserved a car yesterday - confirmation was for an economy car. The kid came to pick me up in a pickup truck and said that was the vehicle I was getting. I said I really didn’t want a truck and that I asked for an economy car. I was told (over and over) how much he didn’t care about what I wanted or was promised. Rude, insulting and threatening. He brought me back home and made sure to insult me again when I got out of his truck. NEVER WILL CALL ENTERPRISE AGAIN. I called corporate who assured me they would contact a district manager who would get back to me to make things right. That was 9 hours ago - obviously, corporate doesn’t care about their customers either.

We rented a 15 passenger van from the 1100 NW 42nd Avenue, Miami, FL location, on September 25th at 9:36 pm for pick up on December 24th. That is 3 months in advance! Then out of an abundance of caution on November 20, a month in advance, we rented a smaller minivan, a 7 passenger from the 940 NW 27th Avenue, Miami, FL location also for pick up on December 24th. We were pretty sure that if the big 15 passenger van was not available, then the 7 passenger van would be. Boy were we wrong!!! On December 23rd at 7:45pm, this is less than 24 hours before we were to pick up the 15 passenger van, we received a call from Enterprise to let us know that there were no 15 passenger vans available, in any of the locations in Miami. When I asked what we could do, the very rude person that called said, "I don't know." All he knew was that there were no vans.
Now, very upset and worried we were not going to be able to go on our family vacation and lose the over $4,000 on the rental and other things we had spent, we were calmed by the thought of knowing that we had the backup minivan, which we were supposed to pick up the next day at 2pm. On December 24th, again, out of an abundance of caution we call the rental place on 940 NW 27th ave at 10am to confirm that the van would be ready for us at 2pm as promised. Well to our surprise and disbelief we were told that they were planning to call us around 12pm (that's 2 hours before our pick up time) to tell us that there were no minivan for us! WHAT?!! So if we didn't call we would have gotten a call an hour or two before we were to pick up the van?! What kind of crap is that? What kind of service and respect is that to your customers!?!
Now, we wanted to be 100% sure there were no mini vans left, so we drove to the NW 27th Ave location to speak in person with someone. We got there and there was a "gentleman" sitting at the front desk (I don't recall the name because I was too upset). He was so rude. When we asked what were we supposed to do with our family (it was now 7 of us, because the other half were smart enough to rent from another company, and they DID have a minivan on that day). I was told that he didn't know. This man just put his hands behind his head, proceeded to stretch, as if he was very tired and said that it was the holiday season and that all the vans were sent to the Miami Beach locations! We asked if he could call and see if they had any to bring to this location and he just said, NO!
We left the place so upset, thinking of the disappointment in our kids' face when we told them we had to cancel the only vacation we took a year and the one we had been planning to ALL YEAR! I have NEVER felt so disrespected and disgusted by ANY company in my life! The disregard this company and their employees had with us was a disgrace. It is very sad and nerve racking to rent anything from this company ever again. I mean if we rented the van with over 3 months in advance, how is it that there were no vans for us?!? How is it that we were not told with more time, so we could have time to go somewhere else and avoid all this stress and headache?! This is truly disappointing and such a disregard for their clients and especially clients who have rented with your company before.

I was a loyal customer #** with Enterprise. On 01/14/20 I went to their website to make arrangements for a rental reservation in Chicago for the upcoming weekend. The lowest price car available was $100 per day and I thought that might be a little high so I went to the American Express website and discovered the rate was around $20 per day, or 20% of the loyal customer pricing being offered on the Enterprise website. That is absolutely outrageous! I understand that Enterprise has no way to control the pricing of 3rd party providers but they have a responsibility to their loyal customers to prevent them from being overpriced and at the very least, Enterprise should match the pricing of their 3rd party suppliers to prevent loyal customers from getting upset and cancelling their membership. IN addition to posting a review here I am going to post on Facebook as well.

I am writing this review to warn people about my experience with Enterprise. Let’s face it, many people get anxious dealing with rental car companies because of their reputation for upselling insurance and making the in-person transaction overly complicated through fear. For me, Enterprise took this reputation to a new level. I never write reviews, but the nightmare I’ve experienced with this company has prompted me to, at least, help other people avoid the issues I have had to deal with which has resulted in me being charged approximately $2,500 for incorrect and misleading charges which should have cost me $0.
I was rear ended in an accident in July of last year. Because the accident was not my fault, the other driver’s insurance covered the damage, as well as a rental car for time that my car was being repaired. *As a necessary side note, I drive a Tesla, and the repairs currently take considerably longer than an average car’s repair, this repair process took 78 days in total*. The rental car company that I chose to use was Enterprise.
Going into this, I had a positive view of Enterprise because of their commercials and I thought they would be the best option. When I met with the associate at the store, we discussed the necessary items, and the associate suggested adding coverages that were specific to my situation. The associate never once informed me that these coverages were not covered by the other drivers insurance. Trusting Enterprise, I signed the documents. In September, I went on a 3 day work trip from my home in Omaha to Colorado. I knew I wouldn’t be the only driver on this trip, so I requested to add an employee to the insurance for the 3 days.
When we got back, I called to ensure that the additional driver was removed, and I was assured they were. (The car I took on the trip was a Jeep Wrangler that actually lost power to the electronic dashboard when I got back to Omaha and I had no idea how fast I was going. So I returned it and notified Enterprise employees and NOTHING was done.)
At the end of the repair period my credit card was immediately charged OVER $3,000. Seeing this, I was extremely alarmed and called Enterprise right away requesting invoices. Upon inspecting these invoices, I discovered that Enterprise charged me for the Additional Driver FOR THE FULL 78 DAYS. I was also charged for the additional coverages over the 78 days as well.
And this is were the nightmare really began. Trying to get the right person on the phone was nearly impossible and when I was finally connected with the right person, they would take WEEKS to respond back to me even though they agreed that they MISTAKENLY added the Additional Driver for AN EXTRA 75 DAYS. I spent WEEKS trying to get this resolved while they gave me the runaround. It ended up taking them 3 MONTHS to pay me back for the Additional Driver. During this time, they won’t even consider re-revaluating the suggested coverages that were added when I originally rented the car.
I have two businesses and a family to take care of. I cannot tell you the stress these charges and the subsequent lack of help has caused us. This company will charge you as much as they can whether it’s right or wrong and then make you spend hours on the phone with them to get YOUR money back hoping that you’ll give up. I would recommend never doing business with this company if you can avoid it.

Our family rented a minivan from Heathrow Airport for 3 weeks for an extend family vacation. The car ran great. The only inconvenience was one of the headlight bulbs went out and we took it to Halfords to get replaced. On the last day in my hometown of Aberdeen, some local hooligan decided it would be a great idea to key the car. Over the next 2 days, we drove it back to Heathrow for our flight back to the US. We dropped it off at Enterprise at Heathrow and explained the scratch to the manager. He was really calm and dealt with it very well. He charged us 800 pounds on top of our rental price to cover the cost of getting the door resprayed.
A few weeks later in the US we get a letting in the mail stating that the repair only cost 250 pounds and we would be getting back the rest of our 800 deposit. Awesome! 2 days after that, we get a bill in the mail for the repair saying we were still owing money. After weeks of back and forth on email (weeks since no one would reply to them) and no answer when calling we decided to just wait and see if we would, in fact get our money back. Cut to today (1/17/2020) and we get another bill for 1990 pounds and the number seems to have come from thin air. This is the last straw. Don't touch this company with a barge pole. Between clerical errors and confusion. We don't even know what's going on anymore.

It was a hard enough hit where I went into the dash and felt instant pain in my back. He (the employee from Enterprise) even said man that was a hard hit. We got out of the car and the new assistant manager came out and I asked him to please make sure that he got the other drivers information. He said that he was letting him go because there was no damage to their car.
I told and showed him that there was damage and that he needed a new bumper. How I know this is because I am a Auto Appraiser and I do this for a living. The in print from the other persons license plate was imprinted into the rent a car and it was dropped on the left rear corner under the left taillight.

7 minutes ago. Do not go anywhere near this company. They will rip you off! Hired a car from the Waterloo office for a family holiday. Pre-paid the deposit for a Volvo SUV. Unfortunately I didn't read the small print in regards to not accepting debit cards (my fault). They then tripled the security payment to £1500 and gave me a cheaper car but charged me the same price. We were not in a position to argue. When we returned the vehicle to Heathrow I was asked about the non existence of a load cover to which I replied there had never been one! They then charged me £300 to replace it!!!
I spoke to the office that dealt with the claim but they were less than helpful saying basically that I was lying and would have to pay for it, pushed the point and was put through to the branch who were again belligerent and unhelpful. Rang the loss and damage people again and asked for all the paperwork in relation to the checking of the vehicle as well as a copy of the CCTV footage from the branch. I was then told that they couldn't help and I had to go back to the branch. Spoke to the branch again and was told that the only information they could give me was that the person who checked the vehicle was called Whack and any paperwork or CCTV footage was held at head office!!

RA# ** We rented a Cadillac from Enterprise rental in Allen TX for about 8 days. We were rushed through while handing over the car. When we returned the car they took about 20 minutes to inspect the car and said that it's hail damaged. I did not noticed the 3 minor dings at the first look. Only when you look at an angle very closely then you notice the minor ding on the bonnet. There was no ding on the roof. I would have never noticed it (nor I was looking for this tiny ding) while taking the car. Also, during our trip both the rear Tyre was constantly losing pressure.
I took the car to the enterprise location in VA and they directed me to their authorized tyre center (Mr. Tyre). They took the rental car from us for about 3 hours and replaced both rear tyre. All in all, it looks like we were not treated fairly by the local enterprise branch in Allen TX. Essentially I became the fall guy and we were made to pay $1,000 for damage we did not do.

In August of 2019 my family traveled to Beaver Creek, Colorado. We landed in Denver and rented a car for the remaining travel distance. When we paid for the rental at the Denver Airport I made sure and asked the agent to make sure the rental was accounted for on my Enterprise account and not my husband's. She said this was not a problem. Upon returning home and waiting for a month for the points to show up on my account, we realized that the points were indeed put on my husband's account. When we were checking out in Denver we should have been told that the credit card needed my name. It is a joint account and I had a card. I was on crutches from an injury and my husband could get to his wallet easier, but we would have been happy to take the time and pay for the rental properly.
After hours spent on the phone on multiple occasions with both nice customer specialists and arrogant customer specialists we still do not have a solution. The one solution that Enterprise came up with wasn’t a solution. Enterprise sent my husband vouchers that they said could be retroactively redeemed on our Denver rental. When my husband tried to redeem them, the vouchers wouldn’t work due to the type of vehicle we rented. My resistance has finally been worn down. This was their error and we have been told it cannot be fixed. We rent from Enterprise about six to eight time a year, but this one experience has changed my attitude towards Enterprise. Prior to this I would have recommended them, but my experience with corporate has not been great. I will say most other rentals with them have been fine. I just can't believe that this one action can't be fixed in their system.

Rented a car this past weekend from Enterprise Denver Airport, the entire rental experience was first rate, the ladies on the line even moved us to a brand new Cadillac XT4 SUV when all of our stuff wouldn't fit into an Audi Q3. In the mad scramble at return time, my wife's wallet slid out of her purse and onto the floor of the car, which we didn't discover until we went to check our bags at the airport. Called the 866 number since they don't list the local office number, wasted 10 minutes giving all of the rental info to someone I could barely understand. Decided to hop back on the bus to the office, told them our plight and one of the agents quickly tracked down the Cadillac and produced the lost wallet, I thanked him profusely before running to the bus and back to the airport making our flight with 5 minutes to spare. Five Stars up until this point, here is where it goes downhill.
After my wife caught her breath on the plane she opened her wallet to check the contents only to discover the $200 she had in cash was missing from inside. I guess we should be grateful we got an expensive wallet and all of the cards and ID's back but for one of your employees to rifle through a customer's wallet and remove all the cash is downright dishonest and makes you wonder how honest this employee is in general. This incident won't prevent me from renting from enterprise in the future since all previous transactions have gone smoothly, this is more about the honesty of your individual employees and not the company as a whole. Lesson learned, take a few extra seconds to check for your stuff before dashing off to catch your flight.

They were unwilling to try to find a solution to help get us into a car so that we could get to the next part of our vacation without losing a day at our next stop or having to incur additional costs to pay for another night at our hotel because of their negligence.
After calling Enterprise's corporate number for help, I was told to go to the Sahara Las Vegas location because they would be able to assist me. We checked out of our hotel and walked to this location while my husband was on the phone with the Westgate location trying to find a solution with them. The Sahara Las Vegas location was having the same problem and we were put on their waiting list as #9. We were then informed by the Sahara location that some people were receiving their cars up to a day later than their reserved date due to a shortage of cars. We were told that there were no Enterprise locations in the Las Vegas area that had available cars due to Enterprise Corporate reserving too many cars that they couldn't fulfill. After this conversation, we took the monorail to the Westgate location to try to talk to them about what they could do to help us not lose time or money from our planned trip.
While we were there, I was in contact with Enterprise's corporate offices to try get us help. I was hung up on twice (once the representative hung up on me and the second time I was on hold after being transferred to acquisitions for so long that it bumped me to the customer service survey then the connection was terminated) and on hold for 30 minutes waiting to speak to someone that would be able to help us get into a vehicle. I was not able to talk to anyone because we were able to secure a car ourselves through Enterprise at the McCarran Airport location - apparently that location had cars for rental but both the Westgate and Sahara locations were unwilling to work with that location to fulfill our rental agreement. Once we had a car confirmed there, I gave up trying to talk to someone through the Enterprise's customer service and hung up.
We had to take an Uber to the Airport at our cost (which we weren't expecting hence the Monorail pass) and that location was incredibly empathetic and apologetic. The process to fulfill our rental agreement through our reservation number was smooth and easy. The entire ordeal to secure a car via our agreement took 2 hours. It was frustrating that both the Westgate and Sahara locations as well as corporate were unwilling to help and we had to contact and arrange a car at the airport on our own.
I do not understand why these two locations were unwilling to work with the McCarran Airport location to fulfill Westgate's end of our rental agreement. During our travels in the past, whenever a company ran out of cars we had reservations to rent they would send us to another company to get a car and the original company with the rental agreement would cover the cost. Never did I have to worry about losing time on a vacation, missing a hotel reservation or having to pay for an unexpected additional night stay because were are stranded due to a major car rental company's negligence. I would not recommend this location, and at this point this company, under any circumstance. I have lost trust in this brand due to the Westgate's unwillingness to fulfill their contract to us and Enterprise Corporate's insensitivity towards our situation.

I have been an Enterprise customer for 10 years and have had a great experience up until now. I travel a lot and I am a professional pilot, so we rent cars a LOT! I flew into the El Paso airport and my rental started out well, got to my destination and hotel for the night. The next morning when I get out to the vehicle, pop the trunk to put my things in the back and hop in to get started. I push the button and the car won't start. On top of that the front tire was started showing tire low on one side. Worked with roadside assistance and they got there within an hour and had me going within an hour and a half, but was going to miss my flight which I booked weeks in advance at a much lower cost. I had to get home that day, so I had to book a ticket that cost me $450 more.
After talking to the tow truck driver and being that I have worked on my own vehicles for years, the first thing I checked for the low battery was if I left any lights on or any doors crack, but never found a thing wrong with the vehicle. The tow truck driver said on his jump box that the car had 11.9 volts and these newer cars with the push buttons won't start even if there is the slightest discharge. I was irate! In the mean time I was trying to call the ELP Enterprise and literally for 2 1/2 hours, I could never get a person and it would go to voicemail. Left a voicemail and it took them a week to call me back.
When I got to the airport, I explained my situation. They gave me the phone card of the area manager. They told me he would reach out to me. A week goes by and nothing. I finally reached out then he responded. After emailing back and forth be in a polite way pretty much called me an idiot and his mechanic said the battery charged up quickly and could find nothing wrong. He said he could give me a few free days and I explained that I was just looking for enough free days to cover the additional cost of my ticket. Well it has been three weeks and I have sent multiple follow up emails and never a peep. I am done with Enterprise unless they can make this right. The company I work for and myself personally spend thousands of dollars a year with Enterprise and frankly I am taking my business elsewhere.

I have rented from the enterprise in Marlton NJ for the last 3 years times for business trips as well as personal needs. Every time I have to take a business trip I would rent a car from them. I am a “Platinum” customer. I do not know if their management has changed but that is an assumption I am making. In short, the last time I rented I was charged an exorbitant rate which came out to about a little less than 1k a week. An OUTRAGEOUS rate. The “assistant” Manager was rude and very unapologetic when I spoke to him mid rental. All I have to say is I find their pricing now to be deceptive and outrageous. I have written to their customer service department and not received an answer. They have charged my company's credit card over 3 THREE THOUSAND dollars.
I have spoken to other rental companies to use for my future needs. They have assured me their rates are much fairer and they do not charge for the extras as Enterprise does. They educated me that this is a common complaint about Enterprise and is due to the fact that the individual stores are franchises and decisions are left to the discretion of the individual owners. I would recommend that anyone reading this not to assume the Enterprise customer loyalty program means anything or that the friendliness of their staff when you speak to them and what they tell you will be honored. Go elsewhere for your business and personal needs.

I was in accident and the person who hit me insurance had to pay for my rental. I picked car up from Enterprise and the people were friendly and professional. I filled out paperwork and was asked if I wanted additional insurance in which I declined and was told if I did want it I would have to come back so they check care over. I did not come back. Finally when my car was repaired (about a month later) I returned car. A few days later Enterprise called and said they charged my credit card $365.00 for the insurance I did not want, I have insurance. I told them I never wanted it, and said they would refund it. 3 months and 8 calls later they have not refunded the money. I'm at the point they can keep the money they stole from me. Just beware if you don't want the additional insurance they will charge you and have to fight to get money back. I believe it is a scam to get extra money.

I am beyond frustrated with the experience I am currently having with Enterprise. My husband booked a rental car weeks ago for our trip to Miami. We called for a pick up this morning when they opened (7:30am) and the representative said he would have to call us back in 30-40 minutes. I was unsettled by this but waited. An hour later at 8:30 we called back..the representative told us that there were no cars available and that they may have one around 12 but maybe not today at all. He told us to go try the airport since it’s only a few blocks away. We walked to the airport in a strange area and they were no help..completely sold out.
We have been on the phone with corporate and different locations all morning. This is cutting into our vacation and wasting our time and money. We already missed part of our planned morning and have lost hundreds of dollars. This experience is outrageous. I am shocked that Enterprise is considered a reputable company because this is inexcusable. The corporate line took down our phone number 3 times but has yet to call us back or give us any further information. “Some people extend their rentals” is what we keep hearing. I’m not sure how that becomes our problem when we’ve had a reservation booked for weeks. Instead of enjoying my vacation I’m sitting in an Enterprise location waiting for a car that may not come. I will NEVER use Enterprise again and will tell everyone I know about this disgusting experience.

The employee we spoke with was probably at the end of the shift, tired, etc., when we asked what other options there were the employee refused to help us, he said we had to have a credit card, end of story.

Our reservation in system and no reasonable explanation other than they didn’t have the car we rented and were very busy with rentals. Said we had no “contract” until we picked up the car, so they didn’t need to honor our reservation and would call if they got to our name on list, possibly getting us a sedan (which I explained we could not all fit into with luggage).

Previously, I had given this business a very bad review for treating me poorly. I want to set things about. To their credit, when the car was returned, a different staff was most polite, professional and responsive. I don't go there enough to know what happened a month earlier; but things were much better on the return. In my studies on critical encounters in customer care episodes, I know not everyone on the team is following policy. Each team member brings their own assets and liabilities. Perhaps the crew did not want to be there and were unable to hide that in their customer relations. Regardless, a new group of employees were in for the return of the car; and, they had a great attitude and helpful behavior. I'll be back. All is forgiven.

I came to the US around 5 years ago. Before arriving at the airport one of my settle-down introduced me to an agent from Enterprise. I asked for a specific vendor & model and the final deal was 10% APR, saying that I have no credit record so that's the best deal I can have. I thought it was too much but I thought I had no choice. And I couldn't get the color I wanted, they say it'll take a few more months to get one with that color so I chose one in their stock. Since I came here everybody around me told me this interest rate is crazy, and I found the price itself was also high. But stupid me just trusted them, waiting for a better update deal or notification. The maintenance charge was high but I got no benefit of it. I had to pay full for a couple of tire replacements saying they don't support such maintenance support. I found that line in my contract somewhere in the complex and long agreement paper.
After around 3 years, I found out there are so many loan replacement programs. And even though I was still afraid of making a phone call because of a little slow understanding of fast verbal English, I decided to make a call And that was the beginning of the real chaos, disappointment, and annoyment. I had so many questions because the system here is new to me. So I had few calls. One associate started the pay-out procedure even without trying to understand my question when I had not enough money then. I had to abort the procedure with couple of calls, long wait time and same explanation again and again.
Some of them didn't even know they do have a lease program and treated me like a crazy man saying they don't do such business. One guy even just hung up my phone. Didn't want to listen. I heard him saying on the phone "what a ** guy". Managers seemed extremely busy with other issues, had to wait so long for a simple question. If I left a couple of messages asking what's going on, they seem to get annoyed.
After these long frustrating calls and humiliations, I finally able to get and 4.3 APR from BoA. Even after the purchase/pay-off, they sent me 2 charges after a month for some additional mileage. Unfortunately, shortly after the pay-off wife had an accident, the car totaled. But luckily I went through all those hell of the argument with them earlier. I didn't have to go through the double problem. You know the car accident, the insurance, etc. is another difficult situation here. Rent service, I had no problem with the guys on site.

We confirmed both over the phone and at the store location, days in advance to ensure the vehicle assigned to us was a full size SUV. They guarantee us over the phone and in person that we were good to go. The day of pick up, they did not have the right vehicle available for us. They insisted in putting us into a 15 passenger van. We were so upset and disappointed. We were not trying to drive a 15 passenger van! The assistant manager attempted to accommodate us as much as possible however, the inconvenience that we were placed in did not balance out. Guarantee is not guarantee, which is not right! We plan accordingly based on the size of vehicle we needed and having to travel more than 15 hours on the road in something less was an inconvenience.
We were also told that we could possibly get to our destination and pick up the right vehicle if that location had one. We called several locations on our way up and no one was willing to help. Seemed as if they cared more about just their own location and their customers that booked with them only than just a customer in general. Our inconvenience was not their problem since we didn’t book with them. And when we keep calling our original location back to assist us with communicating with other locations for a different vehicle, they seemed as if they didn’t care anymore and keep on telling us we needed to call these locations ourselves.
The crazy part of it all, is every time I would call to speak with someone about possible modification to our reservation the recording while waiting to be connected would say somethings like “we cared about our customers” and “that they guarantee reservations” etc. Your mission statement states you mission is to exceed customer expectations, that was totally NOT what we experience.

I was told to call the location, (Palisades) when I was had the car shop, on Monday 12/16/19. I did, a couple of times and NEVER got the phone option that the man told me to use when we talked on Friday. FINALLY, the guy at the car shop reached them and they came. I FINALLY got picked up 1 hour later than scheduled.
When I arrived at the Palisades location, and even though I HAD a reservation, I got "put in line" behind TWO others. I questioned them, to the point, I guess they wanted to hurry me out. They offered me the car that they picked me up in and I accepted it. They didn't have anything for me to fill out inside and I questioned that. The man said it was all done on his "tablet" at the car. I had told him that I requested Sirius radio and he looked like I slapped him, but he DID get that set up. I asked him about my AARP or AAA discount and I was told that should have been arranged inside...DUH!!! So, obviously did NOT (as small as it is) get my discount. AND the fact that Sirius was going to cost me an extra $25.00 a week, when I have a paid Sirius account in MY CAR. That just SUCKS!!
The ONLY thing he told me about the car, after handing me the key fob, is, "You need to push the button to crank." AW HECK NO!!! The next morning, I had a drs appointment, spent 15 minutes trying to crank the car, while trying to get someone to answer the phone. FINALLY!!! The girl mgr answered and asked "do you have your foot on the brake"? WELL, NO! Why do I need my foot on the brake. I HAVE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED!!! She proceeds to tell me, in the most SARCASTIC (you are stupid) tone of voice, "You're supposed to hold down the brake pedal when you push the button." Don't you think someone should have told me that on Monday? THIS HAS BEEN A FREAKING NIGHTMARE.
Before starting this tirade, I was on the phone with not one, two people at the customer service corporate line, that had accents so thick, I could hardly understand ANYTHING they said. So NOW, I am waiting for a regional manager to call, whenever that will be. Keep in mind the "happy" holidays are upon us. You'll have to forgive my rant, but I am WAY BEYOND THE REALM OF ANGER. This is just WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY. I gave them a one star rating in this review only because zero stars was not an option. I recently rented a car from them in France and they tried to defraud me in the amount of 1,500 Euros. My wife and I went to Europe in September. We started out in Switzerland on a river cruise which terminated in Paris. We then rented a car in Paris from Enterprise, which rental we had arranged in advance. The car rental was 315 Euros and I had to give them an authorization on my Visa credit card for a further 1,500 Euros to cover potential damage. We drove from Paris to Normandy, where we spent two days touring the beaches, and then on to Calais for another two days before taking the train to London.
We left France on a Sunday and those of you who have rented cars in France may be aware that the car rental agencies in France are all closed on Sundays. Accordingly, there was nobody from Enterprise in Calais to take delivery of the car at dropoff. We knew this in advance and were advised by Enterprise that this was not a problem - we just had to leave the car in a designated area in the Calais Ferry Terminal parking lot and then put the keys in a drop box at the [closed] Enterprise office inside the terminal. This we did. Two days later, I received an email from Enterprise advising that [a] the rental vehicle had suffered windshield damage in the form of a large crack that ran halfway up the windshield to the middle and [b] they were charging my Visa account with the additional 1,500 Euros. A couple of points here:
1. There was zero damage to the windshield or any other part of the vehicle.2. When we dropped the car off, I took a video and several pics, which clearly showed there was no damage.
I immediately fired off an email to Enterprise, denying that there was any damage and advising them that I had photos to prove this, not to mention three witnesses [my wife and our two travelling companions] who would attest to same. I also demanded that they provide me with their own photo evidence of the damage that they were claiming. They replied that they would refer the file to their regional manager and that he would respond within 5 business days. To this day, despite numerous follow-ups, I have never heard from him.
I then called my Visa issuer from London and advised them of the situation. They told me that since I had in fact authorized the full 1,815 Euros [315 for the rental and 1,500 for the deposit] they could not simply reverse the payment; however, they advised that there is a Visa process whereby fraudulent claims such as this could be disputed. I said fine, I would call them when I returned home to Canada.
I called Visa when I got home a couple of weeks later and they opened a file. They asked for, and I sent them via email, a letter outlining the whole situation, including copies of my email correspondence with Enterprise, the rental agreement, and the photos. After reviewing my information, Visa advised that they would initiate a dispute on my behalf. As they explained it to me, the dispute would be filed with Enterprise's Visa bank who would then invite Enterprise to respond. If Enterprise did not respond within 30 days, or did not present a reasonable case, then my money would be returned. If Enterprise did present a reasonable case, and its Visa bank agreed, the matter would go to some Visa International body for arbitration.
Happily, but not surprisingly, two weeks following the filing of the dispute by Visa [which included my photo evidence], Enterprise gave notice that they were dropping their fabricated damage claim and that my money would be returned, proof positive that their actions were an out and out scam. I now have all of my deposit money back. My Visa bank [CIBC] was fantastic in all this and I doubt I would have been able to recover my money without their support, short of initiating a lawsuit in France. No apology or any other communication from Enterprise has been forthcoming. I have always rented from Enterprise in both Canada and the U.S. but after this experience, I will never do business with them again.

My problem was in August. I’ve complained to the branch managers, all of them whom were the problem in the first place, the regional manager, customer service and a couple of escalation managers. I’ve left numerous reviews only to get bogus responses and broken promises about resolution. It is now going into 2020 and no one has reached out to resolve this. I am pursuing other options for resolution for what they did to my senior citizen mother and how they tried to pass the blame to her and myself. I warned them that if they ignored me, I would take the next steps. Well, we are now here. I will not be renting from them ever again. I would rather pay more for better service.

I was extremely happy when I reserved the rental online. The price was great and I was excited about my upcoming trip. Two days before my trip, they gave me a courtesy call to confirm my rental. They gave me details on what they request upon check in when it came to paying with debit or credit but NOTHING else. I went online to look at the policy and something did not seem right. I went ahead and called them again and they explained the paperwork that I needed AS WELL AS A $200 deposit ON TOP OF the amount I already owed. NOWHERE on the website or on the policy does it state a deposit. I was extremely upset at the fact that nobody mentioned or that the website did not state a security deposit. Granted, I have done rentals before and as long as you have full coverage insurance, they do not require a security deposit. Never going to rent through this location or enterprise for that matter.

My experience with Enterprise was TERRIBLE!!! The car that I originally reserved was not available upon pickup (no biggie). I was then told by the sales rep that he would then cut my daily rental rate in half for the inconvenience from $58.25 to $30 a day bringing the time distance total down to $90. With the discount added I decided to add insurance for $24.99 for the 3 days ($74.97). After the discount and insurance was added my estimated total charges were promised to be $214.25 after taxes and fees and one of the receipts I received detailed these rates. However, upon returning the car I was not charged the discounted rate promised or even the original reservation rate. I was charged a rate of $117.73 a day for my rental plus the insurance I added and taxes and fees ($489.85).
After realizing that they overcharged me nearly 4 times the promised rate they also had charged my credit card an additional $41.98 on top of the $489.85 bringing the total that I was charged to outstanding $531.83 when I was told I would be charged $214.25. I had to call and explain to the manager at the Kansas City Airport location where I rented the vehicle from. The lady I spoke with was very unhelpful and took forever to understand the mistake that was made when I clearly explained it several times. In conclusion this was my WORST car rental experience. I will most likely never rent from Enterprise again unless they can offer some sort of compensation for the inconvenience.

I have rented from Enterprise for over 15 years and have overall favorable comments for both the cars and customer service. Like some of the comments on this website, the vehicles I have rented have a ding or scratch and occasionally you get a vehicle that smells like smoke. Overall, things you have to expect from renting cars from any rental company. However, during a recent rental from Maryland to Norfolk to visit family I was surprised and shocked that the Norfolk Enterprise reported a bent tire rim costing over $900! When I disputed the claim, the Damage Recover Unit (DCU) sent me a bill.
This is very frustrating as there was no sign of damage to the vehicle or the tire rim when the Enterprise rep and myself walked the vehicle prior to turning it in. I was not involved in any accident. Obviously, I need to take more detailed pictures before and after renting a vehicle. With the aggravation in fighting this claim I struggle with ever renting from Enterprise again.

First let us say that management must have changed because we have never received such bad customer service as we have this week from this office! We started Sunday by going by and asking about a 15 passenger van. We were told that they felt sure they would have one but would get back with us on Monday. Meanwhile my husband went online and booked through Expedia and was able to get one at this location. This local Enterprise office never called back on Monday. We called them on Monday afternoon to confirm the Expedia booking and they said they didn’t have a van available. They claimed there must be a glitch in the system. They said it would be Wednesday before they could let us know something. We had wanted the van to take our grandchildren to see Christmas lights on Sat, the 14th. So my husband said please let us know asap. In the meantime, as a backup, we were able to get one booked with Hertz.
We have always had great experience with Enterprise and preferred them but at this point we needed something certain. So my husband calls Enterprise Tuesday (this morning) hoping to get one with Enterprise and the guy says yes they definitely have one. They took all of his information. Before he hung up my husband said “now this is confirmed right”? The guy says yes. We call and cancel Hertz only to have Enterprise call back 30 minutes later to say they don’t have one after all! What sorry customer service! Also, when we called the corporate office we were told nope they don’t have any, can’t get any and they would just relay this complaint on.
To add insult to injury I call the airport to check with Alamo to see if they have any for rent and it went to an overall reservation company. She checked online and said no they didn’t have any but the Castle Hayne Enterprise location did but the price would be close to $80 more than what was originally quoted. I asked why and she said supply and demand! Thanks a lot for ruining our holidays Enterprise!

Original Review: HORRIBLE experience at the LAX location and I don't plan to ever rent from there or Enterprise again. I returned my rental (there was no line), the inspection was quick, I was told everything was fine and I got on the shuttle to be dropped off at LAX. While on the shuttle, I got a message that there was damage to the hood of the car. I called back, the person who called me was not available and I had to return back in person if I wanted to see the damage I was being accused of causing. When I returned, the person who inspected my car asked why I had come back and then remembered. I spoke to the branch manager and was shown the damage. The damage to the hood WAS ONLY VISIBLE AT A CERTAIN ANGLE AND LIGHTING CONDITION.
The branch manager had to ask for me to stand at that particular angle, with the car parked NOT UNDER the covered return area that cars are inspected and he had to point out the damage. I said my words to the branch manager and he informed me he would check to see if the damage was visible when I had left the lot. He also informed the damage was small, that they would probably just pull it out and if I didn't hear back from them in 2-3 days I could consider the matter closed. I also asked how is that damage to the hood larger than the circle they considered to be notable damage, but was never shown the measurement tool over the damage. I've received notification from the Damage Recovery unit at 10:36 PM PDT today. I called that department to speak to someone, but that department is closed.

There is some kind of chemical biological weapon whatever you wanna call it blowing inside of enterprise vehicles. I definitely would reconsider renting from another rental agency. I’ve contacted the Better Business Bureau about them. Never returned a phone call or email. Something needs to be done.
I highly recommend going to another vehicle rental agency besides this one. I truly honestly believe they are affiliated with a governmental agency that is doing a mass surveillance on civilians. It’s illegal. I know 200% I have dust particles flying everywhere in my vehicle with less than 5000 miles on it after I’ve even cleaned it myself. Something is most definitely 2000% not right and needs to be done about this. I would really check the air quality in your vehicles if you’re renting one from enterprise. To be continued…

Don't believe all the 'we'll pick you up' messaging this company gives - they will, but only on their terms, at their convenience, based their inability to manage other customers who have caused them problems. Had a trip seriously disrupted due to the terrible policies and processes this company and the East St. Paul office uses. I had this experience at the 395 E 7th St, St Paul, MN 55101 location. Following the company's instructions, I requested a ride by phone the previous day and was told I'd be picked up the next morning at 9am. The morning came, I went outside to watch for the ride, and waited, and waited.
After 15 minutes of no show, I called the office I made the appointment with. I spoke with a female rep who said that they'd called me but no one answered, so they didn't come out. I used my home phone number, not my cell for the appointments and was waiting outside, so if they called, I wasn't present to hear it. She asked if I'd like her to come out now - this wasn't possible due to amount of time I'd set to get this car and be to my job on time that morning. I asked if this phone call check was something I'd missed knowing to expect. She said no, it's just something they do. I'd set plenty of time to take care of these arrangements but now looking at a hour delay from my original time to be there created complete chaos for my travel plans. I was due to leave early the next morning and work second shift, so there was no other good time to do this.
When I told her this ruined my plans and I'd have to make other arrangements, the rep became very short and overly formal with me, not attempting to help or offer any solutions or apologies whatsoever. I, now not trusting anything Enterprise was doing, asked her to confirm my reservation and costs, which she did curtly and with some effort. Now, without time to make the pick up and get to work on time, I was forced to delay my departure date by a day. I told the rep I'd call back but after some deliberation, decided to not use Enterprise for rentals ever again. I called an Avis office nearby and was taken care of with courtesy and efficiency the next day.
I regret that some customers have not been available when Enterprise has gone out to get them. If it's too much to afford possible missed customer pick ups, then this company shouldn't offer rides as a service. I have been a customer of Enterprise for nearly ten years with multiple rentals but will never rent cars from them again.

A group of us rented a van from Texas to New York. They did not have the van ready when we had booked it, so they tried to make us take a lessor vehicle. We insisted that we needed that vehicle we had scheduled for. We were rushed thru the inspection process when the van finally arrived and we were never offered the ability to look at the roof of the van. This comes into play now, when we returned the van, they inspected the van including the roof and said there was damage significant damage. The fact is it is unknown if that damage was there before it was rented by our group.
We expressed our concern of this on numerous occasions even with written disputes thru Enterprise. They would not accept that this damage may have been there before we rented it. The Damage Recovery Unit deemed the damage as renter fault, and charged the insurance for repairs, even though they had said they would call and discuss “amicable” settlement with us before any charges would be made for damages. This was never done. Now they are trying to get the insurance deductible from us. It is a shame they never listened to the consumer. Beware if you rent from them and cover your bases.

Downtown tells me that I am on a list for "when available" and because of the holiday, it would be Monday before they got me a car.
Took an uber home which cost me another $30 ... Called every day through Thursday. Got hung up on by Patrick 3 times. Still no car. Called customer service twice now and was forwarded to an "escalation specialist" who put me on hold for a few minutes and then told me that I would be getting a call shortly from the Manager of the Markham location, and since I wanted to file a formal complaint against Patrick and the downtown location, I would also be getting a call from a supervisor from corporate. Yet here it is another day. A full week and 2 days since hitting that deer, and I still don't have a car and still haven't gotten a call from anyone.

The csr informed me that the vehicle was returned with no damage and the same amount of gas as when I recieved it. He then proceeds to tell me that I owe an additional $60 for protection services that I did not agree to and that the $100 deposit would not be refunded because that was payment on the rental even though I had direct billing set up with my auto insurance company. He also informed me that he tried to run my credit card without my authorization for the $60 but thankfully my bank flagged the transaction.
I have reached out to corporate customer service and have not heard anything yet. If I don't hear anything within the next few days I will be contacting the North American operations manager. I refuse to be bullied into paying for something I did not agree to. I reviewed my rental agreement and nowhere in it does it say that you have to pay for coverage you don't want after you return the vehicle. The Tewksbury Mass branch did not even have the courtesy to call me and inform me if there were additional charges. Criminal charges should be pressed against that employee who tried to run my card without authorization.

We informed the agent we are 7 people and would need at least 2 cabs and the bill would not be less than $500, the customer confirmed it's fine.
The agent then said that there is a car available at the Vancouver airport and they can send a tow truck to pick that and drop in Whistler and then take the broken van back, but would take approximately 3 hours. We were fine with waiting for the car instead of taking the cab, after approximately 2 hours we got a call from the tow truck driver that there is no car available there, we called back enterprise and they confirmed the same. Then the second rep said we can take the cab and they would reimburse it. We were in cold and an isolated place for more than 2 hours which was not safe as we could see syringes and alcohol bottles around us.
Finally we did the third call to enterprise and they said to take a cab and we decided to take a cab and come back to Vancouver. We claimed the amount and at first Enterprise refused to pay saying they couldn't find any fault in the car, later they approved the claim on 9 November and were suppose to mail out a check.

I have rented regularly from Enterprise for many years. - I had minor issues here and there but my most recent experience was completely unacceptable. I rented from the RDU airport branch, with a contract for just a few days. Unfortunately, I got into an accident and the vehicle was towed. I promptly called the branch to inform them and get guidance on how to best proceed. I was told they would send an employee out to collect the car. - I had personally items in the vehicle that I wanted to collect, so I ubered to the tow yard. When I arrived I was told the vehicle was already picked up by an Enterprise rep. I called the branch again and was told they would place any items they came across in the lost and found so that I could collect them when I was able to make it back to the airport.
Upon returning they told me they didn’t have these items. That was the least of it. - Fast forward a few weeks later and I noticed a large charge from Enterprise on my card. I again called the office to state I had been overcharged and was told the billing issue would self correct - that the vehicle must still be getting repairs done and once it was finished the charges would be removed. Many phone calls later I finally got in touch with ‘customer service’ who gave me an incident number and ‘escalated’ the issue and also assured me the charges would be re-evaluated after they complete an investigation.
Several months later I finally received a call from them where they insisted I had the vehicle the entire month and the charge is valid. They had no additional information to offer despite having ‘researched’ this for several months and now, apparently I am still stuck with the bill. I am truly shocked with how dismissive they were, the poor customer service, and the mind blowing lack of organization and accountability. I fear there are no measures in place to protect us as potential consumers of their service. Please don’t make yourself a victim of their chaos.

After reaching out to the actual location, then the corporate office/customer service for days after the rental, I didn't hear a word back from the supervisor at this location (Durango/La Plata County airport). Having been overcharged more than double the rental amount. Corporate escalated the situation twice, and yet I still never heard a word from the actual location/supervisor. I then call them, finally reaching the location supervisor and he proceeds to hang up on me. After not even listening/processing what I said. Childish, disrespectful, incompetent and unacceptable. I've managed businesses for years and have NEVER hung up on a customer. Don't hire people that have zero concept of customer service and lack of couth.

We rented a car due to an accident. It was a scheduled pick up during the week when I arrived to pick up they didn't have anything ready for another 2 hours. Which prevented me from being able to pick up my kids from school with no vehicle. Their best accommodation was we will drop off the car to you in 2 hours. When it finally arrived it had broken fog lights, scratches all over the front and side, a check engine light, oil change light, and tire change light. They had a young guy dropped it off with no paperwork, nothing to sign, nothing depicting damages waited in the street for his uber and left. I called the next business day to inform the office and the first thing the woman rudely said was... "and you didn't get a receipt? how was that possible.. You didn't sign?'' Then puts me on hold and says, "Oh yes we have the damage detailed."
Then the car won't start for my wife while she is at work (battery issues) and they want to charge me 50.00 to send a roadside assistance out. Since when is a renter liable for maintenance to their vehicles? After dealing with Amanda the manager and dealing with their roadside assistance to assist in the situation the vehicle was swapped out with another office in Toms River. Customer service at that location is a complete 360 from the Bayville office. The woman was very sweet and helpful. Finally we got the new rental and my wife is unable to exit out the passenger door (the handle won't open the door). I also received a call from the area manager who left me a message to call back and I have called back and left messages with no contact with her. This is by far the worst experience I've had with a car rental company. If you had to rent from enterprise within this area avoid the Bayville location.
Update as of 12/03/19The same vehicle rented had front end damage to bumper and fog light area when it was dropped off to me due to them not having the vehicle ready for me at the scheduled time. (Which I have since returned for another vehicle since this one had mechanical issues and wouldn't start.) Spoke to both Amanda and the Regional Manager to which they both stated the damages were noted prior. They gave me a Dodge caravan in exchange which now the front passenger door won't open because it is broken.
I just received a letter now from Enterprise telling me to pay for the same damages or submit to my insurance. When I spoke to their damage department they claimed they would reach out to Both the manager and regional manager to make sure this was the case. 1 week later and multiple phone calls no response received. This is a serious problem. I have had a rental for 2 months now due to my current vehicle being in the shop for repairs. Now they want me to pay for damages that were done by another driver?

I reserved a mid-sized SUV two weeks prior, and was surprised that I was given a Chevrolet Equinox which Chevrolet classifies as a compact. It seemed awfully small. No other options were available so I went on and took it, but the windshield had decal residue on it and The exterior wasn’t very clean. That's really no big deal and I cleaned both. However, customers need to be notified of the vehicle having the ‘feature’ (A term loosely used) of the engine turning off every time the vehicle stops, and then restarts once the brake is released. I lived with it for the eight days, although I wouldn’t have one if it were given to me.
On the way home, the windshield was struck with something at the top corner of the passenger’s side, causing a crack that was not very visible. When I returned the vehicle, I informed them of it and paid for the windshield replacement as I understand my responsibility in that. Now, two weeks later, I received a notice from Enterprise corporate that I need to pay to replace the windshield. I guess I’ll have to resolve that once the weekend is over since they are not open. I have used Enterprise in the past and had no issues, but this was the first time for the Staunton, Virginia location. I wouldn’t recommend it at all and, in my opinion, it appears as if the location is not well run and it will NOT happen again.

This is not the first time I have had a bad experience with this location but considering there were changes with management and staff and unfortunately this is the closest rental car station to my city I was willing to try again. This is almost 1 year to the day I have tried to rent a vehicle from this location and had the same exact poor service ever! Had a reservation for 2 weeks and received the confirmation by email and phone calls from the company and nothing was mentioned about a total of $200 deposit and not being able to use a debit card.
Yes the $200 was in fine print ON THE BOTTOM of the agreement but total says $250 on the agreement. Spent 1 1/2 hrs total driving to get the rental to be told there I couldn’t rent because of deposit and not being able to use debit card. Called corporate because of poor management skills in Altus saying I am stupid one and not being told all of this with the calls for confirmation when I had two confirmations calls for a total of $250.

So I’ve been renting nonstop since roughly feb/March. Over the months I’ve had tons of issues and was treated very rudely and called corporate and nobody ever returned the calls to fix it. I’ve been overcharged and then refunded later. I’ve been treated with no dignity and respect. Yesterday 11/24/19 was the worse ever. I had to get my contract rewritten. Upon my arrival, I read a sign that the deposit went up. In all my weeks of extending, nobody told me about this. I was informed my weekly rate was going up previously. So as we started the process, I asked about another vehicle to switch into for better gas mileage and was informed they had nothing except a pick up truck.
A woman who didn’t look like me, came in and they gave her a car in the same class that had the eco on it. So I informed the workers I didn’t have that deposit available and needed to go put it in bank and he didn’t let me nor would he give me a ride home from the place after he cancelled my contract and kicked me out of the office because they were closing and couldn’t reach a superior by phone. He also lied and stated they’ve called me/emailed me numerous times and got no answer or a full voicemail to make aware of the increase, which was also a lie because I always answer/return calls, read my emails throughout everyday and I talk to someone there weekly to extend my rental. I ended up having to walk over 15 miles home while the two ignorant workers flew pass me while I was walking laughing. So much for loyalty to your customers.

Victorville Enterprise on Civic Dr. On Saturday, November 23, 2019 I arrived at 1:00pm to pick up my Chevy Tahoe that I reserved through Booking.com a week ahead of time. When we arrived we checked in and were told that our vehicle was ready and that it would be a few minutes and that everything would be taken care of outside with the vehicle. We could hear all of the confidential information of the woman that was taking a claims report. And then listened to the employees make fun of the customer after getting off the phone.
There were several customers that stated that they had been waiting for hours. We waited 45 minutes for our car to be ready which was 1hour and 45 minutes past our reservation time. When we went out to the vehicle it was a different vehicle than we had reserved, the vehicle was damaged and dirty. After completing everything we were told that we could not purchase the vehicle with a Credit/Debit Card even though our Card is backed by Visa. We were told that Enterprise just changed this policy.
I have never been treated so poorly by a business nor seen such bad customer service. If this is Enterprise's standard I would not recommend anyone ever do business with them. They lost our business today and as I do all travel bookings for the company I work for I will not be using Enterprise for that as well.

Long story short, rent your car online from Enterprise. You will get a cheaper rate. If you have to change your rental agreement during your trip, do it online to receive the same rates you were quoted... I rented an economy car to drive to a different state and purchase another car. I called the 800# and asked if I had to change my rental to a round trip if there would be an extra charge to make the change or if it would just be a return to the same place rental. They said no extra charges. You will just be charged the daily fee.
The employee that I did the paperwork with confirmed what I was told and said to go into a local office 2 change the rental agreement. I also received a free upgrade to a SUV. Which I did not want. I did not end up buying the car that was the reason for renting a vehicle. So, I went into the local office as instructed and made my rental changes. During all of this process I received a phone call telling me that my mother had passed away. So my 1-day rental turned into a one-week rental. My new contract was written at the going rate of the office instead of the price that I had been quoted online.
To top everything off I was charged the first full contract including the destination drop off fee. A new one week contract with a higher daily rate and destination drop-off fee. When I return the car to the original store they refunded most of the first contract. It was within a dollar? And removed the destination fee from the second contract.
I spent 40 minutes on the phone with them today trying to get them to honor the price that I was suppose to revive online. The first person I talked to was not listening to anything I was saying and wanted to give me too much money back for a destination fee. I told him I was not looking for that high of an amount. I just wanted the correct amount to be charged which should have been close to a $40 refund. I finally ended up talking to who I believe was the store manager and she told me if they honored the amount every person called in and told them that they were supposed to be charged online they would go out of business.
My free upgrade from a economical 38MPG car down to a 28MPG SUV cost me over $35 extra in gas money. The rental rate snafu cost me $39. Enterprise employees tried to make me feel like I should never have called in and repeatedly said I could not prove anything about the rates. That is a passive way of calling me a liar and saying I was trying to cheat them. I feel I am out close to $75 on this rental including extra gas money. And I guess if I were a liar and a cheat, that they passively accused me of, I would have taken the destination fee refund that was offered to me at the beginning of the phone call. I would have been close to $45 ahead...

I rented a car in Owensboro, KY to drive to the Atlanta, GA airport for an international flight. When I reached Atlanta, it was dark. I circled the airport for over an hour, searching for the Enterprise office so I could return the car. The signs are poorly placed, and I never found it. I called the phone number for the 24-hour service Atlanta location at least a dozen times and no one ever answered the phone. I was about to miss my flight, so I had no choice but to park it at the international terminal and run. I got there 3 minutes before the Turkish Airlines check in counter closed. A family member called the toll free customer service number and asked them to contact Atlanta and let them know where the car was. He was told that they don’t do that, and we needed to call the Owensboro office. The Owensboro office was closed.
By now I was resigned to the fact that I would have to pay for extra days of rental until I returned to the country and gave the keys back. I returned on the 7th day of the rental. My family member picked me up at the airport and we searched and searched until we found the Enterprise parking garage. I went in and looked for an employee for about 15 minutes with no luck. I finally had to ask a Budget Rentals employee how I could find someone from Enterprise. I had gone into their office and there was no one there either. He told me to walk through the garage and look for someone in a green shirt.
I searched until I found one, and called out to her. She was reluctant to come into the office, but finally did. I gave her the key, and the license plate number of the vehicle. I was told the car had been in their garage since the night I left it at the terminal. I watched her write down my information and log it in. This was on a Friday. When my credit card was charged, it also contained charges for Saturday and Sunday. And I was charged for roadside assistance and insurance for the 5 days that it was sitting in their garage. This is an overcharge of approximately $300.
I began trying to reach the Atlanta office immediately. To date they have never answered the phone. I called the toll free customer service number and was told the agent was applying for a credit for me. A week later I called again and was told that the agent could see the application for credit, but they were behind because of the Florida hurricane and to wait another week. After another week, still no credit so I called back. And I was told that no one at that office could have applied for a credit to my credit card. So two different people lied to me.
The last person I spoke to there told me to hold and she would call Atlanta. When she came back, she said they didn’t answer their phone. And that she was sending them an email and they would call me. They never did. I’ve spoken to Owensboro several times as well. They said they can’t help me. Then I was told - twice - that the manager would call me back, that he could help me. And he never called either. More lies. I’m sick of dealing with this dishonest disreputable company. They’re fine until something goes wrong, and then you’re screwed because their customer service is nonexistent. If I could have given them zero stars, I would have.

I recently had to rent a vehicle from Enterprise due to our only vehicle breaking down. I was only planning on having to rent for a week, however after learning the repairs were more than what we paid for the vehicle, we were on another journey that would have us financing a vehicle. Initially I was told that I was not only expected to pay the normal deposit of the vehicle but they would be taking out double the amount. Having no data on my phone and not enough funds on my card I needed to call the credit card company to ask them to put the deposit through and that my cash payment to them was indeed already made to cover my account. I Asked if they had wifi to which they abruptly said “no”. Knowing that I had no vehicle they promptly told me that there was wifi about 1/2 a mile away, and left it up to me to walk there in the freezing cold. I was not impressed. After doing so, I returned, paid the deposit and got my vehicle. There was only 1/2 tank of gas in it.
Fast forward a week, our financing was not in place, I needed to extend which wasn’t a problem, they told me they were taking out another deposit which I understood. All done. 2 days later my satellite subscription ended, which was fine. I only had it in the original agreement for a week. I ended up having to extend 3 more times, with deposits supposedly being taken out. One such deposit was on October 19th for $450. To this day it has not been applied to my bill and has not been returned to me. With 2 weeks still needed to rent this car there was a bad shaking developing in the car when accelerating. I chalked it up to snow in the wheels and didn’t want to create a fuss for no reason. 1 month and 1 week later I returned the vehicle after we finally picked up our new car. We left 1/4 tank of gas in it , so I was fully expecting to pay for 1/4 tank of gas to make up for the 1/2 tank that was given to me upon acquiring said vehicle.
I got my bill promptly the next day saying that the deposits they had taken has covered the bill. Next thing I know my credit card is being charged $870!!!!! I still have deposits that were taken out yet not applied to my bill and not returned to me. I was also charged for a full month of satellite radio, and charged $102 for them to completely FILL the gas tank!! I have reached out to them three times already with absolutely no answer in return about my concerns. I am also a Plus member. And the difference between their daily rate and weekly rate they charged me was a whopping 21 cents!!! I thought they granted monthly rates at a discounted price!

Please don’t send me the standard response to send details to Enterprise. You already have that and the pictures. Please contact the branch manager if you can’t handle this. Branch manager does not follow through.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: We rent from Enterprise frequently. The ‘Downtown Location’ (11th and Lewis) is convenient. We accidentally forgot to remove 5 vinyl reusable sport decals. These are peel off and we constantly reuse them. We dropped the car at night. It was due back by 9am the next day. The agents called to say we would be charged a ‘detailing fee’. I offered to come right over and remove them so I could reuse them. The agent was very short and absolutely no one would listen that these just needed to be peeled off. No, it HAD TO BE DETAILED. RIDICULOUS AND RUDE AGENT AND UNPROFESSIONAL. As I said, it’s convenient.

Rented a 15 passenger van. One of the passengers left an envelope with boarding pass and $38 in the van, knew exactly where he left it. When contacted Enterprise, no one had seen it. How often does that van get rented, and how could they not notice it. When they checked the vehicle, I believe a thief works for them. Don't leave anything behind. You won't get it back.

I’m SO disappointed with Enterprise. My online quote turned into almost a 4x higher price. This led to what we thought was an Enterprise rep who promised us a $200 US voucher to reduce the cost of our rental car, reduced golf fees and a breakfast. This led to 2 days of hell and getting sucked into a high pressured timeshare-type club membership sales presentation. We were almost billed for tens of thousands of dollars but thankfully were protected by the Mexican gov’t. We still ended up paying $700 US for 9 holes of golf. Be warned that even if you trust Enterprise or National (in same rental facility) to be a reputable company, that in some countries, they accept payment to allow con artists to use their facilities to find quality leads. In other words, Enterprise and National Rental Car companies allow their customers to get duped ON THEIR PREMISES!! Unbelievable scam.

I am nearly Platinum. I have rented cars in 4 countries on 3 continents in the past 6 months. Every rental but one has been a disaster. I make reservations online, and at every rental counter, AFTER pulling up my reservation they ask "Have you ever rented with Enterprise before?" In London we were stranded for over 3 hours, calling every 30 minutes for our pickup. Always an excuse. Ruined a day and kept us from seeing a friend. In Berlin the car had no oil in it. Couple of hours to solve and get us into a working car. Again, ruined an entire day and missed connecting with friends who were only in town that day. In Frankfurt I was told they did not have a car I had reserved and had to accept a car I very much did not want. In Phoenix I was told I had no upgrades due (never used one and am top level Gold, nearly Platinum).
Every "deal" I am emailed with I am unable to use due to some undisclosed bogus rule. My login often doesn't work. I have received exactly NOTHING for being loyal, except grief. I have written numerous times, including to the executive VP of customer service. I have been told numerous times by telephone and in person that someone will call me about the troubles. Not a word, not an email, nothing. One agent in Würzburg was very accommodating and friendly, and provided a replacement car when the one I rented I discovered to be in bad shape when I got a few km's down the road. Enterprise TALKS customer service, but has not delivered it. My points have also done exactly nothing for me. I don't see the point in using them any longer.

I needed a rental car for 1 day while my car was being repaired. The lady at the call center told me she was putting me in a full size vehicle. Later when I had to modify the pick up time on line, I discovered that she neglected to offer me 3 other cheaper car rental options. I then modified it to a cheaper vehicle myself. The representative NEVER asked so I didn’t know that I could get picked up at my location. Due to the rep not asking, I had to get someone to drive my car and I drive the rental, in order to drop my car off at the dealership. When a lot of stress, time, and gas could of been avoided if I would of known that Enterprise could of picked me up from the dealership.
The next day my car was ready, I drove to the nearest enterprise to drop off rental and get ride to dealership, the doors were locked and a note on the door saying they would be back in the PM out transporting. I had to call ANOTHER nearest enterprise and they got ahold of someone who was on there way to the location I had been waiting at for 20+min. The employee was very apologetic and gave me a ride to get my car. The employee at the Canby and Salem locations were the ONLY good part of this experience. I would recommend asking questions when making a reservation.

When vehicle was delivered it was not a truck. I'm thinking the reason I got the car was to appease me which I appreciated but at the same time I believe the sales people knew that the car may have had a problem to have consumed so much gas and the tire signal problem.

When I called Enterprise to question it, I was shunted to FIVE depts with no resolution & absolutely no attempt to answer my questions.

The rep in the 5th department just said he could forward my inquiry yet again, this time to the "research" department--he added that this dept doesn't take customer calls and would need at least 2 days to look into it and call me back.

I received my rental at the Collegeville, PA Enterprise location. This is an insurance rental/paid for by my insurance while my vehicle is in the body shop. The Hyundai Elantra that I received was not washed before I received it and the inside of the glass had a distinct haze on it. I used Windex 3X on the windshield and windows and still could not remove the haze entirely. The car also had a very strong chemical odor in the interior. Was something sprayed on it to mask another odor? The smell was so strong, I drove with the windows halfway down and the heater on. After persevering with it for a day of driving to work (my commute is an hour long), I could not take the smell anymore and it was difficult to see out of the windows at night when oncoming lights hit the windshield. I felt both conditions were unsafe.
On the second work day of travel with the rental, I called the 800 number for Enterprise customer service. It sounded like I was connected to the Philippines as I had a hard time understanding the agent. I told her that I wanted to swap out this car for another of the same price. I told of the two issues I was having. She seemed very helpful, going online finding my rental agreement, verifying my info, looking online where there was an office near my work, finding a car at one of the locations, putting me on hold to confirm a good time for me to swap out the vehicle, came back on the line with everything "set" for me to do so. I thanked her for her help, gave her a good review in the survey that follows a customer service call and hung up.
At the designated time, I traveled to the enterprise location that was close to my work. Upon getting there, the rental agent at that location informs me that he has no record of me getting a car from them and that there was no communication from the national customer service dept. with him inquiring about their availability of a car for me. They had no car available. I got back on the phone with national CS and was transferred from the foreign location to a CS Manager in the USA. She confirmed that there were no notes logged in their system showing that I had a car exchange happening.
I took my lunch hour to get this exchange done. The agent at the Warrington, PA location where I went informed me that he would have a car ready within an hour - it was getting its oil changed currently. I made arrangements with him to hold the car until 5:15pm so that I could come back after work to pick it up. Hopefully it will still be there when I return. With how things are going with Enterprise, I tend to wonder.
I lodged a complaint with the CS Manager in the US against the CS agent that I first encountered. So, my review is twofold. 1. The rental location in Collegeville, PA for handing me a dirty car (he did vacuum out the interior). The exterior had something that appears white splattered on the passenger side door and the aforementioned interior glass haze and strong chemical smell. And 2. The first customer service agent that I spoke with on Enterprises 800 number who basically lied to me about the whole swap request. I had just recently rented with Enterprise in Santa Monica, CA and had a great experience. I don't understand the low standards of both their Collegeville, PA location and their shoddy offshore customer service agent.

I rented at late model BMW for a few days over the Christmas holidays. The car overheated and had to be returned on Christmas Eve, they gave us a lesser model as nothing else was available. A few months later they tried to charge me for the damage, approx $4K claiming wires were chewed by rats and that's why the car overheated! I consulted a BMW mechanic who said "while it's possible for rodents to damage a vehicle's wiring, it's impossible to determine exactly when (unless you catch them in the act) as this type of 'chewed' damage can be done weeks or months before the wire's connection actually breaks."
We only had the car for a few days in a pretty nice suburb. We were suspicious about this claim and hired a pest control specialist to inspect the rental location and they reported it was an "absolute breeding ground for rodents, close to the lake, semi-industrial area, and un-kept growth directly surrounding the garage and lot where the cars are stored." This was a terrible experience, I urge extreme caution or go somewhere else.

I recently rented a vehicle from Enterprise. From picking up the car to dropping it off I had a wonderful experience with this company. I picked up my car in Washington and drove it down to California. With my luck, I got a flat tire in the middle of nowhere in the mountains in California. I called the roadside coverage folks and although there was an issue with my contract both them and the office I picked the car up from worked together (instead of me having to bounce back and forth playing phone tag) to fix the errors to that way I could get the roadside assistance. The roadside assistance crew was amazing and got there pretty quick considering I was about 45 min from the nearest city and they were nice.
After all the bad luck I had on my road trip I decided to turn in my car somewhere other than where I picked it up from which wasn't part of my contract, but both offices were super friendly and helped out and made me aware of all of my options so that way I wouldn't be unknowingly eating any unexpected costs. I fully expected to pay the days I said I was going to have the car because that is what I signed up for, but I ended up getting refunded the days I had remaining. To some of you, that might seem like a silly thing to be excited for, but I cannot count the number of times I had to eat a cost like that. Even though the driving part of my road trip was a bust (at no fault to Enterprise), Enterprise helped make sure I was taken care of.
While I'm sure that all of the Entertprise Rent A Car offices are stellar, I wanted to shout out to the offices in Puyallup WA and Redding CA as well as the RAP folks. Every person in those three offices were stellar, friendly, professional, basically all the positive words you can think of.

I want to post a warning regarding Enterprise Car Rental (off Midway--Addison, TX). I understand everyone has their own experience. Mine was very poor. I called Enterprise reservations, after I setup my car repairs appt. I reserved a car, based on what the insurance company told Enterprise, my auto policy and what I told Enterprise. I went to pick up the rental car, after dropping off my car for the repairs.
I called to check on the status of my car repairs, then I called Enterprise to extend the lease period. I was told, at that time, I would owe $70+....after I had been told by Enterprise the leased car was less than what insurance covered. I immediately went and got a different car and made them promise that all of their fees and the rental cost would be totally covered by insurance. I was told, at that time, that with the lesser car, I would get a credit to offset the charges of the first car. This was another untrue statement, to add to the growing list of untruths that I was told.
My insurance company called Enterprise, after my car repairs were complete, Enterprise told them, after telling me, that they were issuing a credit. After waiting and receiving my credit card statement, there was no credit. I called Enterprise again and they are not issuing a credit. I was told by my car repair vendor, after I picked up my car, that they had several previous clients that had similar issues with Enterprise and had taken it upon themselves to get one employee fired, due to their displeased customers. The car repair vendor will not be sending their clients to Enterprise, going forward----nor will I ever use them again.

I said that a driver's license and car insurance does exactly the same thing and that if the car is stolen the utility company and workplace cant do anything about it anyway.
The operator quietly stated confidentially that Enterprise and other car rental companies don't really want to rent to those without good credit or use a debit card and deliberately add these unnecessary requirements to keep from renting to poorer people. That's when I angrily told the operator to get out of the 1950's and join the 21st century. The operator didn't care. That's business today in a nutshell.

My auto insurance company rented me a car while my car was being repaired. When I went to the Enterprise Bedford, OH office, they only had one car available. It was a minivan, and I didn't want to drive that. The manager, I believe his name is Neal, told me that one of the workers was dropping someone off in a Chevy Impala if I wanted to wait. I said I would. When the Impala arrived, Neal walked me to the back area where the cars are cleaned to show it to me. I'm not sure why that was necessary, but okay. I said the car was fine. He said he would clean it, and I went back to the front lobby area. A few minutes later, he pulled the car around. I've seen cleaner cars from Enterprise, so he couldn't have done the best job in just a few minutes.
But the biggest issue was the tank was on EMPTY. There was no gas in the car or very, very little. Neal told me that I would need to get gas, and when I returned the car if it had gas in it, he would give me money to cover my cost for purchasing gas for a vehicle that should have had gas. How does a rental company not have gas in a car they rent?! I have never experienced that with any rental company I have done business with. But he seemed so truthful that I agreed. Most people only have to put the gas back to its original state when returning, but I had to add gas in order to drive the car. I had the car for ten days, so, of course, I had to purchase gas a second time. When I returned the car, I told the associate about the conversation with Neal. The gas was at 3/4 of a tank.
At first, she tried to tell me she couldn’t reimburse me because the insurance company was paying for the car. I asked her why the manager would offer to pay me back for the gas I had to put into the car to drive it if that were true. As an aside, I wondered if she understood what auto insurance payments paid for. The car I was renting for sure! Next, She told me that since Neal was not there, she had no idea about the conversation. I told her why else would I take a car on empty unless that had been promised? She then offered to give me a discount towards a future rental. But that's not what the manager Neal and I discussed, so I wanted the reimbursement I was promised. She told me that she would have him call me the next day. She wrote my name down on a card. I asked her what time he came in. She 7:30 am.
The following day, I received no phone call. At 3:15 pm, I called the Bedford, OH office and asked to speak to the manager. I was put on hold, and neither Neal nor anyone else came to the phone. I was on hold for over fifteen minutes. I take my business seriously, and I do not waste my time or money on those who have unscrupulous business dealings, those who lie, those who deceive, or those who are unprofessional. For all of these reasons, I will no longer be doing business with Enterprise, and I advise you to think twice about doing business with them at the Bedford, OH office. There are too many other rental agencies out here who are professional, and they start the transaction off right by putting gas in the tank.

I had to use Enterprise on a Saturday. There was no cars available. I just did not understand. So I had to wait until Monday. On Monday I went down to the rental car location and it was a challenge than getting a car. But luckily I was able to rent a car. A week into my rental I got a call saying to bring the car back because it was sold! I could not understand. I took the car to a rental location and was told to keep the car until car that was in repair was fixed because there is no car to switch me into.
At the end of my rental I went turn the car in. They wash it and re rented it out to another person before I could leave the lot. At that time there was so many people waiting on rental and there are NO cars available. The demand for rental is high. Has always been. Why is the supply short. Also my insurance covered $30.00 per day but the supply for a car in that price range is slim to none. Now the rental ran good. No complaints there. Just the hassle getting a rental and the calls to return the car. How can you sell something that is rented and why not wait until it is return. The poor supply for the demand has been an ongoing issue!

I rented a vehicle due to a motor vehicle accident that I was in and instead of the company following up with the auto body shop for payment they directly billed me for the rental despite me going the extra mile and personally handing them the business card of the manager at the auto body shop. They completely ignored it and charged my credit card. It has taken over a month to find out what the charge was for as I did not receive any invoice or communication from them whatsoever and when I did contact them they were rude and very unhelpful. I have contacted the branch manager several times and I am just blatantly being ignored. I have now contacted the regional manager to hopefully get some resolution to this matter. I would not recommend renting from them, and I will never rent here again!

I rented a car because my personal vehicle was being serviced. Upon taking delivery of the vehicle, I walked around with the Assistant Manager as he notations of the damages on the vehicle. I noticed the damages on the front bumper and I assumed he did too, but he did not. I took a photo of the damages once I arrived home in my driveway. I returned the vehicle within 8 days and with the return Enterprise is placed previous damages on me.
The condition of the vehicle when I picked it up clearly demonstrates that this was clearly missed by them. The vehicle was poorly cleaned and smelled so badly it demonstrates that Enterprise has not been too keen on cleanliness of this vehicle. I have rented from Enterprise previously and have never had any issues. My experience from this location in New Orleans East has left a very bad taste in my mouth. I have not spoken to anyone and have tried calling the manager to get more clarity. I am disputing all damages that were not done by me. I have contacted my insurance company and expect to vindicated of all their inadequately.
Angela, we'd like the chance to address this with you directly. Please email care@enterprise.com with your contact information, the reservation or rental agreement number, the exact rental office location and any other details so we can research this promptly. Thank you. – Carol H.

I made a booking at Lumberton NJ location. I called the office to arrange for pick up. She said that she cannot send anyone because she does not have anyone till 11. She asked, "Are you still coming or will you wait till 11?" I said, "I am coming walking because I cannot change my plans because your office does not honor what you are really very proud of". So I have to walk to their location. Very bad. Very disappointing.

Enterprise Car Rental provided Wishy washy answers to questions I had about insurance/damage protection for the car. I found the car through Hotwire online and it stated that I didn't need a credit card, but what did I need when I showed up at the office (You guessed it) a credit card! Also, The day I brought the car back I accidentally left a Work Parking Permit in the car.
An employee came out and told me he'd unlock it so I could get it and then he went back inside; I tried to open the door several times and it wasn't opening. Several minutes later the employee comes out with the manager to tell me that someone has taken the key to their downtown location, (What???) and then says I have to wait 10-15 mins for this person to show up with the key, so I waited, no one showed up and now they closed up shop. That isn't customer service that is pure crap, what if it was a wallet or something else? It's the principle of this situation that deems Enterprise un - recommendable.

Made a truck rental days ago for a F150 for the weekend. Made plans specifically for the use of the truck since this is the only time to have help available. Called the night before to the Enterprise location to verify they have the reservation and that they have a truck for me, yes they do, I am good to go. Get to the counter and she is sorry to say but no truck is available??? So the reservation and confirmation of the truck is for what purpose? Well, in case someone brings in a truck that you can use. REALLY???
Called another location and pushed buttons to get the counter at the location and get someone from the reservation dept. Yes, said location does have 1 truck available. "Would you like me to hold it for you?" "Are you sure they have one?" "Let me transfer you to that location." Guy at the location states he does not have a F150 available. So, Enterprise is going to tell me again that they have a reservation with confirmation of a truck when there actually isn't one. Need to work on your reservations Enterprise cause right now, I will look to other rentals instead of you. Thanks for ruining my weekend!!

I rented a vehicle from Enterprise Rental car in September '19, when I returned the vehicle to the return location, Weeks later I received an email and a letter stating I owe money for damages. I knew I never wrecked the car so I was in shock! But as I continued to read, it said "hail damage", now I know the weather was perfect, there was no rain in sight!! So why are they charging me for hail damage??? Furthermore, I have repeatedly asked for proof, no one till this day has done so.
I called again this morning after being threatened to be put in collection and banned from renting from them again. Just to give a little background info, I have been renting from Enterprise for years! I know this year alone I have spent well over $5,000 in rental fees. I'm a Gold Tier. I absolutely can't believe that they are doing this to a valuable customer of years. This is so unfair, I can't wait until I turn this over to an attorney, this is mistreatment and unjust!! How can you charge me for something you DON'T have PROOF OF, OR THAT I DID IT????

I arrived at the Enterprise location on Priest Av in Tempe, Arizona at dusk, just before the office was closing. The agent did a very quick damage assessment and no damage to the car was noted. Upon return of the car, 2 barely noticeable linear creases were noted on the bumper that would have been hard to detect in the evening light. I did not back into anything while having the rental, I am confident that the creases existed previously.
Enterprise charged by credit card for the damage without advising me that they intended to do so. When I called their office I was told that they would have to repair the damage as the car could not be put in service otherwise. I will never rent from Enterprise again. I have also learned that you should take photos of the entire car (even if you are being rushed) before signing any papers.

I rented a vehicle from your location in Burlington, WA. The initial rental was fine. I contacted them about the rental. I was told the rental extension was completely fine. "Just keep it and you will be extended at the daily rate. And if you kept it longer you would have to just bring it in for service and exchange the vehicle to any Enterprise location." Which I did, and had very good customer service and resigned every time I dropped off the vehicle. Then I started getting angry phone calls from the location where I picked up the rental.
One threatening to call the cops on me that they would report the car as stolen, (which I have a phone recording of) etc... I would contact the local agent but was never called back so I called the 800 number and they told me everything was fine, "You paid your bill in full and everything is perfect." But the calls kept coming and I had a few heated discussions with the branch when they called and again threatened to go after me. I paid my bill 100% and where was all of this coming from. I don’t know if this is customary of your company's team or not? This was the most unprofessional experience I’ve ever had.
Today I was in the area and stopped in to the Burlington location to see what was wrong. They took the keys from me and forced me to give up the vehicle I was in with my things still in the vehicle, with not a manager/owner whom gave them directions of what to do. After a long discussion they were mad at the rate I was getting and were lying to me to get me to come in so they could try and get more money out of me. I went to 3 other locations in that time and received great service. I have been an avid client of National/Enterprise over the years. This will be the last time anyone at my company uses your company if that kind of treatment is ok.

I think I will have to file suit in small claims after this debacle. On Sept 18th 2019 I made a reservation on Enterprise.com Not a third party website as I have been a member with Enterprise for years and have rented many vehicles from them in the past. My reservation was for a Standard size vehicle Hyundai Elantra or similar at a rate of $37.00 per day. I had a Confirmed Reservation with a confirmation number emailed to me. I was to pick up the car the next day at Enterprise location on Riverside Ave in Roseville, California. I was to pick up the car at 3:00 but was running late so I phoned the Riverside location and informed them of this and told them I would be there at 4:00 to pick up the car. They said that would be fine and thanked me for letting them know. They at no time mentioned that they no longer had the car I had a confirmed reservation for.
I would like to add the reason for the rental in the first place was that I had been having some trouble with my car and that coming weekend my Son was receiving his Master's degree so I had many people coming in from out of town and would be needing to driven back and forth picked up and dropped off at the airport and things like that and that coming Sunday I would be needing to make a trip from my home in Auburn California to Bakersfield California and back to take my 5 year old Grandson home. It is a 320 mile trip about 4 hours 30 minutes one way if you drove straight through which is not possible with a five year old.
When I arrived at the Riverside Ave Enterprise location to pick up my car they told me that they did not have any more cars left and that all they had were 2 trucks that I could have for the same price that my reservation stated, one of which was a small Ranger and the other was a very large F150. I told them that this was not going to work for me and I was told that they were sorry but that it was a busy week, I told them I have a confirmed reservation and they replied that they have a very expensive commodity that is very sought after. I was very surprised at their attitude and did not really know what to say, I asked if I could take a few minutes to think about this so I went out to the car that had driven me to the rental place and started to make some calls to other rental car agencies in the area and no one had anything available.
After pondering my options I agreed to take the F-150 as it did have a large back seat. I mentioned to the salesman that this truck was going to cost me much more in gas and with gas prices at almost $5.00 a gallon here in California it was no small issue. I would like to mention I was met at the door of the rental agency by the salesman who brought me over to the trucks and never once went inside the office. Everyone was in a hurry as they were getting ready to close soon and I had places to be as well and was now late and really stressed out. I was asked to sign the contract with my finger on an iPad looking tablet and never given a paper contract of any kind. We took care of the entire transaction in the parking lot. I took them at their word that the rental price would be the same as my confirmed reservation.
I need to add that I had difficulty getting in and out of the truck as there were no running boards to step up on and it was quite high 2 feet. It was even harder to get my grandson in and out with the car seat but when it came time to pick up my 80 year old mother we needed to take a step stool with us and stand behind her and hold her so she did not fall getting in and out. My original reservation was for 4 days. I was to return the truck on Monday but after driving all day Sunday I did not think I was able to drive home so I opted to stay the night there in Bakersfield. I called the rental agency to extend the rental. My car was not repaired yet so I extended it for a week and the agency assured me that it would be at the same rate.
The next week came and went and my car is still not repaired as we were waiting for parts to come in. I did not call on the exact day that my rental was up as it was a Friday and I just forgot. When Monday arrived I had a call from Enterprise on my voice mail but before I had a chance to call them back I noticed that they had taken the money for what I thought was the money for the weekend out of my account. I was busy that day so I did not return their call. The next day they were calling my phone all day maybe 4 or five times. I could not return their call until I was on my break from work. When I called they told me I needed to update my payment method as it turns out the card I gave them was not good anymore as it was replace with a new one because I lost the card I gave them.
I went in personally to another enterprise location one closer to me to try and change the truck in for a car like the one I had originally reserved but they did not have any available. I gave them the new number and extended the rental for another week paying upfront every time and leaving a deposit. The week came and went I tried yet another enterprise location to try and trade the truck in for a car to no avail this time I did not renew for any set amount of time. I was going to bring the truck back to them on Monday. The salesperson I spoke with at the other location said that would be fine besides I could clearly see that Enterprise was still taking money from my account. On Monday before I had a chance to return the truck I received a text stating that the truck needed to be serviced and could I please bring it in to any location to trade it out for something else to which I replied no problem.
I was in court with a client that morning and became very sick that afternoon. I came home from work early and fell asleep. I was running a fever and I won’t go into the other symptoms I had but it was bad. The next day I received a text stating that if I did not return the truck immediately that they would be filing embezzlement charges against me and that they had been trying to reach me. Whoa Whoa Whoa. I had been in constant contact with them or one of their affiliates. Once again I went down to another location one much closer to me and open a little later than the location I rented at originally and they pulled up the reservation on their computer and the salesperson could see no reason for their actions or threats.
He once again extended the reservation for the next day giving me time to take the vehicle in to the original location because what I did not know and was informed by the salesperson (Manager) at the location I was at was that I had been being charged quite a bit more that the agreed upon price and what was stranger than that is they had somehow changed the price per day on the original reservation but did not change the bottom dollar price on the original first 4 days so it did not add up correctly and I still had my original email they sent me with the original price to prove it.
As if the math error was not enough this difference in price meant a difference in insurance and tax as well creating approximately a $629.85 overcharge. I text the lady back that said she was going to charge me with embezzlement and told her all of these things and her response to me was bring the truck back or she would start proceedings. I will be bringing the truck back to them in the morning and keep you posted as to the results of that but I doubt I will see them refunding me my money willingly and if that is the case I will be headed to small claims and you can bet I will be asking to be compensated for the difference is the fuel costs and my time off work fees to file suit and my stress dealing with their threats of embezzlement.
My reservation was to be as follows $37.00 a day X 31 days = 1147.00. Insurance on a vehicle valued at $18,2000. Approximately $10.00 per day total for 31 days $310.00 tax @ 7.75 % on 1147.00 $89.00 and their Veh Lic Recovery Fee unknown whether this is a daily fee or a one time fee but I am going with the daily fee just to be on the safe side would be around $45.00. I get a 5% member discount so I take off $57.35 and that should be $1533.65.
They charged me $50.00 a day for 31 days $1550.00, Insurance on a vehicle valued at $32,240.00 $16.00 a day X 31 days = $496.00, tax on $1550.00 $130.00, Vec Lic Recovery fee $65.00, discount of $ $77.50. Total for 31 days $ 2163.50. This is the closest I could come up with as I have yet to see a bill from them. This is based on what the numbers the salesperson at the other agency gave me and my reservation information and their own web site and I figured all the calculations in their favor to be on the safe side of things. That is a $629.00 overcharge minimally.
Based on the fact they have already been dishonest about the daily charge and did a lousy job of trying to change the price without changing the bottom line so the numbers don’t add up correctly and threatening me with embezzlement I can bet tomorrow morning will be interesting to say the least. They will be thoroughly embarrassed if we end up in court and rightfully so. It should be criminal and it may be changing a contract like that.
On a side note I have read some of the other complaints and noticed that Enterprise seems to have a standard formatted response to all of them providing the same response to all of the complaints. I guess they feel that since they provide such a ”Expensive Commodity” to us lower class people who find themselves in a position that they need their services that they don’t need to be bothered with responding to complaints on an individual basis and can just get away with doing whatever they want.

First off let me start by saying if there were a way that I could put a - 0 as a star I would. This is by far the worst experience I've ever had. My rental from the DeSoto location on October 2nd through October 5th 2019 was a living nightmare. I have not received my refund in full. They're quick to take your money for the rental and place it on hold but they are extremely extremely extremely slow with returning your refund and overcharges. I was accidentally charged for an extra day which included the rental, damage waiver, and a fuel recharge. I have contacted customer service, the escalations department, tried to get in touch with accounting, which reverted me back to customer service, I have even went so far as to email Christine Taylor, David Nestor, and still nothing.
I received two refunds last week in the amounts of $150 which was one of my initial deposits and $59.33 an overcharged payment. I received an email on October 16th from a guy by the name of Tony at Enterprise. He said as a courtesy he was giving me back $20 and some all change for the fuel recharge, which was an overcharge. October 16th I received a phone call from district manager Corey **. He left me a voicemail saying that he had in fact refunded me that day $35.03 that I was owed. Well I called my credit card company yesterday. I called them today. There is no refund.
Today is October 18th, other than the phone call from Corey ** and the email from Tony, I have not received anything from anyone. I believe the only reason I received those two contacts was because I had contacted Christine Taylor and David Nestor on October 16th in the wee hours of the night, because my first email came on October16th at 6:08 a.m. my time. Well I contacted them again today and as usual got the runaround and ignored at the same time. So today I have emailed Christine Taylor Broughton and David Nestor again, forwarded the email from Tony because I'm just getting the runaround and all I want is what is owed back to me, in full.
I have never had a problem with Enterprise even on a one-way rental in between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. My refund is always on my credit card, always always this is a living nightmare. I have had escalation tickets created on my behalf several several times. I should have in total at least 8 escalation tickets. I have emailed, I've called, I've chatted with customer service, customer care, and supervisors. When I speak with anyone I'm basically giving the runaround. The location where I initially made my rental they gave me the run-around.
I'm not even contacting them, I thought I would be able to get something done, but they've seem to close their eyes and stuff their ears, because no one is listening, no one is responding and most of all no one is giving me back my refund. I cannot stress enough how stressful this is. I just moved into a new apartment in a new city and I would like my refund, in full. I'm assuming I would have to take more drastic measures. This is really stressful and I'm at my wit's end. Please and I should not have to say please give me my refunds.
L, the deposit is released on the same day you return the vehicle. How fast you see it available is determined by your bank. Are you waiting for you deposit to be returned?

I rented a car and that had previously been damaged by hail. Even though I pointed out the damage prior to taking the car I was charge for the damage. I noted that there was no hail in the area for months but this had no effect on their decision. I believe this rental car company is involved is a illegal scheme to defraud its customers. There is no recourse to dispute the to find of prior damage even though it was recorded during the inspection. Unfortunately Enterprise has a monopoly on car rental in my area or I would take my business elsewhere. In the future I will make every effort to avoid using enterprise rental car.

In the fall 2018, around October, we took a family trip to Gaylord National Resort in Maryland. Days prior, I called Enterprise to rent a large vehicle, received a reservation number. At around 7:40 the morning of our departure, an Enterprise rep called saying they had no vehicles available! I was shocked! Thinking there must be an error, I explained the situation, adding that I received a confirmation number. He nicely apologized and said there was nothing they could do, that they were all sold out. We got on our phones, and after unsuccessfully calling every car rental place in our area, about 20 total, we rented from a nearby reputable car dealership.
So I forgot about what Enterprise did to us in Oct, and I called them again in March 2019 when we were taking another trip (I don't like putting the mileage & wear on our vehicles). Just like before, I reserved an SUV, and I again received a called the morning of our departure by an Enterprise rep saying they had zero vehicles available. I was beyond shocked that they would do this to me, not just once which is terrible, but a 2nd time! It sounds incredulous, but unfortunately it's the absolute truth.
Thankfully, Avis Rental Car to our rescue that time. That's a terrible company that will do this to their customers. I emailed the corporate office and explained these horrific events. No response. Ever! That Enterprise location is 5 mins from our house, and I've used them for about 12 years w/ excellent results, until now. We still take great trips (we had a lovely summer vacation in Toronto, Ontario, in Aug 2019). Avis gave us an amazing deal, about 1/3 the price of other companies! And our kids, their cousins & friends went to Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Va, an hour from our home. I told them do not call Enterprise! You'll be greatly disappointed! Shame on you Enterprise Rental Car!!!

I've never experienced such horrible service in renting a car. When I asked to be picked up, it was as if they were doing me a favor that was difficult for them to arrange. The only car available when I picked up had the engine light on. When I asked what the problem was with the car, they said their service provider had not reset the light. Reset the light???? Doesn't that mean something didn't get fixed? I had to rent the car because they didn't have another available and I would have to pay more for what they had. The car I got was dinged up very badly; paint missing;dirty; stains in the seats. I didn't have time to arrange something else. They have very strange policies like, you have to personally appear to extend the rental which is incredibly inconvenient.
I will never use Enterprise again. Dollar is a better company, doesn't treat you like a criminal, and doesn't rent out cars with engine lights on or paint damage. The staff never know what is going on. In fact, when I called the rental office this morning, the person I talked to stated she was the manager when I KNOW who the manager is. She was not the manager.
Their motto about being a "family" owned business is a bunch of bunk. They don't operate like a family business nor a professional company. In fact, it reminded me more of a flim flam operation with strange rules and used car salesmanship on the rental. I could not believe it when the rental agent took me to the car and said "...and we "upgraded" your car"! Yep, they sure did..dings, damage, and engine light!!! Oh!!! And the key fob didn't work for the emergency horn with the unlock flashers only working sporadically. AND the trunk opener on the key fob didn't work. I have been so irritated with this that I've reported to my company rep who handles rental cars for corporate visitors and travel my personal experience. I can't imagine our CEO experiencing this kind of thing.

I will never, ever rent a car from Enterprise. I used three American Express $100 vouchers for a car rental in Denver. Enterprise submitted one of the vouchers, which was only good for six months, one year later. American Express refused to pay the voucher because it was expired. Enterprise kept billing me. I had two people at Enterprise tell me that I wouldn't be billed, but Enterprise still insisted that I should pay the $100 because American Express denied the voucher, when it was submitted one year later. Bottom line, I paid the $100 because it wasn't worth it to ruin my credit over $100, and after many, many email exchanges and phone calls, Enterprise still said I owed $100 for the voucher.

Enterprise has at least one exceptional Branch Manager, ** (Enterprise at Washington Street location in Denver CO). ** went out of his way to salvage what had been a horrible experience with Enterprise. We booked a car for a 24 hour rental via a third party (Orbitz?). We were called early the morning of our booking and told no cars were available. Grrr...guess that's what happens when one uses a third party. We contacted Enterprise reservations directly and reserved a second car at a rate of $40/day. 45 minutes later, another call, another apology, no cars available for rent. However, they offered to help and guess what? They found a car that was available at more than twice the rate we had originally been quoted. The reservations supervisor said individual stores set the rates. His hands are tied. Hmm..?
Another call back to Enterprise reservation desk. A car was found at the Washington Street Enterprise in Denver. We were assured it was waiting for us at a $78 a day rate. Not $40 but better than $100. But, surprise, when we arrived not only was there no car but we were told we would be charged for two days of rental because the store was not opened Saturday afternoon when we intended to return the vehicle. I was furious!!!! We had made our itinerary clear to the reservation desk. I was explicit as to our pick up and return times. Yet no mention of two day rental charge. The agent directed us to the manager, **, who turned out to be the one bright spot.
** not only found us a car he gave us a two day rate equivalent to what we had been quoted for one. ** knows how to take care of customers. Frankly the Enterprise doesn't deserve someone like him. Sadly for managers like ** I will look elsewhere before I attempt to rent from Enterprise again as will my family and other employees in my company.

Rented a car in Los Angeles for one week, to go to Disneyland. When we returned it the agent noticed a damaged area on the rear fender. She "estimated." It would cost $ 2000.00 to repair. She's a rental agent, not a certified insurance adjuster. She told us the car could not be rented again until it was repaired. Then, right in front of us, another agent rented it to another customer. That customer pointed out the damage, and the agent said: "Oh, that's nothing". What do you want to bet they blame it on her also. So, Enterprise decides to charge my credit card an extra $500.00 without my permission. Called the credit card company and told them what happened. They froze the card, reversed the charges, and issued a new card. Too bad for Enterprise!

Worst rental experience on Mykonos Island in Greece, the married couple that runs the station is totally unprofessional and downright rude. Fortunately for us we took a video of the car when they handed it over because upon returning the car they claimed we had made a dent into it, which we could prove wrong then. Google reviews is full of similar stories from other customers... I don't understand how Enterprise can employ such people?

The University I work for has a corporate account with the company and as the department head I pick up the trucks when we rent them. They of course want to see your drivers license which is reasonable. When we dropped the truck off we did not fill it up and were charged to top it off. Again, reasonable. However they kept contacting me personally to pay the balance due and sent the dunning letters to my home.
Exactly 30 days after we dropped the truck off they had sent the bill to collections and suspended my PERSONAL account. My secretary and I both called and explained this was a corporate account and that the bill had been sent to accounts payable. It fell on deaf ears as they continued to harass me. In my last conversation they told me that if any "3rd party" e.g. my employer didn't pay it becomes the responsibility of the driver!! Total BS and a fine example of corporate greed. Neither my department or me will rent from Enterprise ever again. So beware when offering you license on behalf of your employer, it might cost you dearly. The bill was paid by my employer in this case but others might not be so fortunate.

I'm shopping for a car rental for the 10/18/2019 - 10/20/2019 period here in San Antonio & iInotice that Enterprise is SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive than ALL of the other car rental companies. This is ridiculous & unfortunate as I usually rent from Enterprise. The last time, I was told that i am responsible for the road-side assistance if i don't purchase their roadside assistance. This doesn't make any sense to me as WHY would I pay to have their car repaired. When I rent a car & pay Enterprise what I pay them, the maintenance on the vehicle is THEIR responsibility. I'm not going to foot the bill for a car that I don't own or am buying. I can understand the glass/windshield damage, but if the car breaks down on the side of the road, excluding gas issues (which WOULD be my fault), that is usually a MAJOR repair. It seems to me Enterprise is looking to pass the costs of repairing their cars on to their customers and that is bad business.

9-23-2019 we rented a car last minute from Enterprise. Joe the gentleman was working alone but was courteous even though very busy. There was a gentleman whom had washed the car we were getting and it was still wet from just getting cleaned. I had done the usual inspection and my husband drove it home so I could drop off my truck and load up the car. We had noticed while picking up items that the car was vibrating and we drove it back to the lot. Joe was informed and we were asked if it got worse on the freeway. We didn't know as we hadn't even left town yet. We also were told all vehicles had routine inspections. We were not being offered a different car and time was short so we left with the vibrating car.
While upon the freeway it only got louder to a point the radio couldn't mask the noise. At this point I called Joe. We agreed to drive to the nearest Enterprise and change cars. He thanked me for letting him Know and that was the end of the conversation, by the time we reached Pasco I had the worse headache and we went to the nearest Enterprise rental and asked for a exchange. The gentleman at the counter instructed us back to parking lot and to a replacement vehicle, the vehicle hadn't yet been cleaned or washed and the smell from the car was nauseating.
We went back in to enterprise and had informed him the car he was giving us wasn't yet clean. Not once at either location did they offer a better vehicle and of course I think they should not ever let a vehicle like this leave their parking lot. Not once did they offer a better car. We drove to our location windows down and air conditioning running at both locations. Someone should have decided no one should be made to drive any vehicle. If they think something is wrong get out there and inspect the car something geez. So disappointed in how this all turned out.

So I saw the Enterprise counter and walked up to rent a car. I handed the person working my enterprise loyalty number. Well he failed to attach to the rental agreement. Which I did not know until we turned the car in and go invoice.
I contacted enterprise customer service and they said that because it is an international company that I needed a reservation with my rewards number attached. I totally disagree with that. I can walk into a hotel like hilton and stay in a room with no prior reservation and get my loyalty points. SO I going to rent a car from enterprise because I have rental points accumulated.

The branch gave me a rental car with no VA safety inspection sticker. Got pulled over and ticket. Had the rental car replaced in the nearest branch in an airport. Lost about 2 to 3 hours of family vacation time because of this. Transferred already settled 4 kids to the new car and luggages, car seats, etc. Delayed check in in the hotel. Moved itinerary for that night to the following day so we missed out of some planned activities. Talked to manager the following business day after car return. She said we got to pay for ticket first and they will process refund.
I told her all the inconveniences we experienced that I said I was also going to ask for a refund/discount. She said she will request for reimbursement of ticket and discount when she gets a copy of paid ticket. After about 2 weeks, I got a refund, which was not communicated with me and I thought was the discount I was asking for as I have not paid for the ticket yet. As soon as I paid for it, I emailed the manager who said she already refunded me, which less the ticket cost would only lead to less than $50 for a discount. I have been in contact with the branch and main customer service, which keeps referring my case to the area manager but almost 2 months have passed and there is no word yet.
Their incompetence had caused a disruption in a well planned vacation, which was the first time in 5 years for my family and a $50 was given. We rent a car, we expect it to be all set to drive. As customers if we violate their contract, we get penalized for it. It is fair that if it is their fault, we have to be compensated for it. And with no word from area manager gives me the impression they do not care. Worst experience ever!

I rented a vehicle recently from Enterprise in Patterson CA for 3 days to go to work and back. When I picked it up the agent and I looked over the car & I noted anything visible to me. When I got the car the outside was dirty and it smelled like marijuana inside real bad. I didn’t complain because I didn’t have time to take it back because they closed at 4:00pm. When I returned the car I thought I would get to check the car with the agent. When I handed him the key he said, "I will be right back," and he went to inspect the car. He came back and rudely said, "Where did you go?" I said, "To work and back," and he said, "There is damage to the car," and I said, "There is no way there could be damage." It took me out to look at the damage and pointed out some damage by the back passenger door that could have been missed because the car was dirty and I washed it when I got it. You have to bend down and look at an angle to notice it.
My daughter was parked right behind the rental car and watched him walk out and go directly to that area and started bending down looking at it and got in it and moved it in front of their store. He did not inspect the rest of the car. Because I didn’t notice the little damage due to the car being damaged they charged my bank $200 deposit & filing a claim with my insurance. I was told because I signed the form saying there was no damage I have to pay for the damage even if I feel it did not happen while the car was in my possession. I did not even receive an email saying I returned the car until after I called and asked for one.
I feel like this agent was already aware of the damage and dumped it on me to cover his own ** for not catching it before. I could not take a picture of the damage because the car was in the sun making it impossible for me to get a good picture. I feel like they ran a good scam on me and it makes me sick they are getting away with this. It should not be up the the renter to find all the damages and it’s hard when the car is not washed.

It was hard to tell where incompetence ended, and outright scam began. I reserved a car online for $200 for a week. They didn't actually have a car when I got there, so it was either up-sell to a $250 rental or walk home. I then agreed to a $23.99 charge for damage protection. It was never specified that the charge was $23.99 a day! (I pay barely $50/month for full insurance on my own car...for the whole month!) Final bill was over $450.
I drove it no more than just the 10 minute commute every day to/from work, and returned it, clean, with more gas than it started with. On return, hail damage to the roof was found...in the middle of the summer, in south Mississippi. The woman who rented me the vehicle had never once looked at the roof...I was with her the whole time. If you have no other choice and have to rent from these people, a) take detailed video of the entire vehicle inspection process, and b) don't agree to anything.

So I rented a car from the airport in Denver for 5 days. I didn't use it that much and when it wasn't used it was either parked safely on the street or in a garage. When I went to return the car to the Denver airport Enterprise, I got out. Handed the attendant the keys, he looked at the car asked me if I had drove through a hail storm. I did not. After I had told him that he looked at me and said, "OK, thank you and to have a nice day."
A week later I received a letter in the mail stating there was damages to the car. I called and asked them isn't it company policy to do a walk around of each car and her reply was simply no. She said that airports operate differently. My problem is if the guy saw damage there, then why didn't he tell me then and there? Rather than to have a good day and for me to assume everything with the car was just fine. Enterprise was the only place I have ever rented cars from. Now I am reconsidering ever renting from there again. I shouldn't be charged a week later without any acknowledgement of the damages. The attendant there should have let me known on site what and where the damages were.

I am disgusted at the lack of courtesy and respect I experienced with the managers at 3220 E. 53rd Street Davenport, Iowa. I have been an Enterprise loyal consistent customer for 3 years and have spent over $10,000 in rentals. I have never had an issue until recently with this branch's Store Manager and assistant store manager. I rented a vehicle to have surgery in Chicago, and was due to return in a week. I had complications during my surgery and did not call the branch immediately to extend. However, the branch said they called me only two times, but never called my secondary number. They also attempted to charge my cc, but I lock it for fraud protection. Since the car was 5 days over due and I owed $180, they decided to tow it. They didn't take into consideration my rental history with Enterprise and/or rental with their location and treated me unfairly.
At one point the assistant store manager said "your plus gold membership doesn't mean anything". Wouldn't a plus gold member mean he/she has a long standing relationship and it should be considered during these circumstances? I am truly disgusted and feel the managers at that location need re-training on customer service. I do not feel my resolution of returning my personal documents was enough resolution. There are policies they did not mention to me at time of rental but did after they towed it for a measly $180! As a business owner myself for 5 years I know you have to utilize all tangibles in a situation to make the best decision. I feel they did not! After this experience, I think Enterprise's customer service and respect for their clientele is declining due to perhaps insignificant training and leadership. I am highly upset.

I rented a van in Inverness, Scotland, in July 2019 and when checking it out for damage I pointed out the rear window wiper arm was broken off. The Enterprise lady noted the missing wiper arm on her notebook. My brother was with us and witnessed this discussion. However, the Enterprise lady did not note the missing rear wiper arm on the rental agreement. She had me electronically sign on her tablet with tiny print and I didn't notice that she failed to note the vehicle damage on the electronic document.
Upon returning to the USA, Enterprise charged me for the missing wiper arm. I challenged this and Enterprise "investigated" by contacting the branch manager, or so they said, but the manager didn't see the damage so wouldn't know anything. The "investigation" did not speak with the Enterprise agent who saw the damage with me, or with my eye witness.
So I had to pay for damage I did not cause and which I pointed out to the Enterprise agent, who didn't do her job.

The following Wednesday the branch manager had the vehicle towed to the branch. So now there are 4 days of impound charges plus ANOTHER towing charge. The branch is over 25 miles from my residence. They asked me to bring the key but I couldn't make it there by closing. The branch manager had another key cut the next morning - as if they only had one set of keys - and charged me $350 for that key. I made 1 error and I gladly accept responsibility for that. Everything else that happened was beyond my control and was certainly unfair if not malicious.

Why didn’t they report the car as stolen when the actual person came in the next day to get his rental? Well, bottom line is... I took out the rental... And they never checked the rental agreement to match my license number and the name on the reservations and my the name on my credit card that I used. And they did not provide me a receipt or the agreement when I drove off the parking lot and said that they will just email the receipt to me!!!

Everything was fine with this Car rental until the day I had to return the car, Before I rented the car I was told you cannot smoke in the car and if you did there would be a $350 fee. For 2 weeks I would smoke outside of the car, I wouldn't even allow anyone smoking near the car, Because I know how sensitive a non-smoker's nose is to cigarettes smell, So I made sure Cigarettes Smoking was not allowed in the car. The day I returned the car the Enterprise rental in Mount Vernon told me that there was smoking done in the car and I either had to take it to get cleaned inside or pay $350 Fee, Which is completely unfair. 2 weeks I had to continuously step out the car to smoke so that I wouldn't be charged a fee and at the end they still charged me for something I didn't do.
I don't think it's fair and feel they should have a machine that tests for cigarette residue so they can see there was no smoking done in the car. This company seems to automatically jump to the conclusion that you smoked in the car if someone is a smoker and that is unfair because to me I rather step out the car and smoke outside than pay $350 for smoking inside a rental. It's not worth it and that's exactly what I did - stepped out the car. And still I'm being charged a fee for something that I honest to God did not do. This is a unfair company and I will never rent with them again.

I reserved a car online. When I got to the pick up location, Flagstaff Airport, they couldn't find my reservation. When they did find it, I questioned being charged 5.99 for SXM since I was told at another car rental agency, the satellite radio is not controlled by the rental agency and is always active in rental cars. Enterprise said they had to send a request to activate the service, which they didn't do, even though I specified I wanted it on my reservation. Now I get to drive 7 hours with no service. If I wait until an office opens, I'll be late dropping the car off in California.
I have NEVER been charged a one way drop off fee, so, for a cheap Sentra, I get to pay $185 to drop it off at another location. I had to clean the inside of the windshield since it was so cloudy, driving into the sun made it nearly impossible to see. I stopped using Enterprise several years ago due to chronic issues with reservations, charges, etc. Now I am truly sorry I gave the company another chance.

Hi, My husband and I had rented from Enterprise in Morristown, NJ a few times with each time becoming increasingly worst. This past time we rented a Dodge Grand Caravan to take my son to college. When I pulled out of the parking lot, the tire pressure light was on, I returned and they put air in it, and said the light will go out. When we got to our destination, 4 hours away the light remained on and my husband continued to put air in it, we decided to go have the tire checked and lucky we did, it had a gash in it with two temporary plugs in it. We would of NOT MADE IT HOME SAFELY!!
When we returned the car to the Morristown Branch all I got was a sorry and here is a 10% off, and Tom the manager said it really is not his problem and Oh Well! This vehicle also had pills in it from a last renter along with other times the vehicles were dirty, a door handle broke along with tire issues once again. Enterprise does not seem to care about safety issues or peoples lives. I would not recommend them or rent from them again!

We picked up a rental car, drove it 2 miles to bring it home. The next morning the car wouldn't start. I understand things happen but my complaint is mostly about the horrendous customer service. They should have bent over backwards trying to take care of us, but they acted like they couldn't care less. They refused to give us another car until we brought back the first one. What don't they understand, that car won't start! They made us call road side assistance, then road side assistance made us call for a tow.
They still wouldn't give us a replacement car until the tow picked up the other car. They never offered to drive us somewhere or anything. It was a nightmare! We went to Hertz and got another vehicle, by this time we were both over 3 hours late to work. I still don't know if they will give us a refund, but feel like they owe us lots more than our money back. It costs us both over 3 hours pay and we had to rent another vehicle. Not a happy person Enterprise customer. Will never rent from them again!
Kathy, we'd like the chance to address this with you directly. Please email us with your contact information, the reservation or rental agreement number, the exact rental office location and any other details so we can research this promptly. Thank you. – Carol H.

I called Enterprise at 1800-935-0112 and spoke with David employee # **. They charge me a 34.00 fee for an unpaid toll fee in 2017. I went too fast on the E-Z Pass Lane and it did not scan the sensor on the dashboard. I paid the toll fee within the same month in 2017. Call Enterprise in 2019 and they will not reimburse me the 34.00 they charged me. David said, "We do not reimburse that kind of fee." I feel rip off.

Called ahead for my reserved pick up and 52 minutes later was presented with dirty car with garbage from the previous renter. Started to complain that it was reasonable to expect a clean car anytime but certainly when I've waited almost an hour. The supervisor interrupted me and called me a liar. Tried to explain but he kept calling me a liar and basically told me I had to take this car and should be grateful. I continued to ask for a clean car but he acted like a spoiled child and said he wouldn't rent it to me since I was complaining. Made a phone call and drove off the Budget rental car lot with a nice clean car in about 5 minutes.
