    I would never refer anyone to this car rental company. Rude, bullies, liars, thieves. Go elsewhere, it's worth the inconvenience. I would rather walk in a storm and seek shelter in a safe place than to be put in one of their rental cars to be ripped off by staff members who aren't trained to put the customers best interested first. Shame on you Enterprise car rental company.

    I used this last in October, only had a truck and minivan to pick from. Think I took out too much for extra insurance. Customer service was great but did think it should have cost less but it was the only option I had and I was only 5 minutes from their location. If I could have had a regular car would have been happier.

    I have prefer Enterprise before Budget, Hertz or any other rental vehicle company. My preference comes from one main quality conduct. Enterprise has excellent conduct. Enterprise employees' navigation around their office is orderly and their greeting is cheerfully. They try to please their online customers, whenever a customer select a vehicle size that is the customer desire to use in his or her travel, Enterprise will search their other location for that customer's choice, also Enterprise will pick up resident clients and they would pick up business clients. Enterprise do provide their customers with relief to take away any anxiety. There in Enterprise all employees know their customers by name and will always go afar to help satisfy all of them.

    Most time my experience has been fine. Only once did I have an issue. The issue being when I rented a car, I did not realize that one of the tires had been previously damaged, and when it went flat and I called Enterprise, I ended up having to buy a new tire. I had taken the tire to a garage and the worker there told me that the said tire had been damaged previously. That being said, I was not happy about having to purchase a new tire. Other than that, all other times I rented from Enterprise, it was a good experience.

    Basically I put my went with someone because he didn't have credit card. So everything was understood, he even used his own insurance for coverage for rental and he was driver. I was just there because of card. So we wrap everything up, we leave with vehicle and something is wrong with it so I meet him there to sign another contract which was for a week but still hadn't got car he wanted. During week they came up with car he wanted and I was unavailable. They said I was needed. Wow, my card in my name, I said go ahead but just switch cars. There is to be nothing else done and nothing put on my card.

    Well that goes good till they bring that car in and rent it for another week and no one tells me that someone else has been driving the vehicle and wrecked it and they put all the charges on my card!!! Well I called my bank and let them know I didn't give any permission to rent another car. So bank did investigation and returned over 2000.00 to me but when I was in accident and my insurance sent me to Enterprise they said I'm on a list of high risk drivers. They can't rent to me!

    Enterprise is by far the best. I’ve used most brands of car rentals and Enterprise beats them all, especially with service. They are just off the airports but they are worth it. Good clean cars and they drove me to my private plane and waited while I loaded it and readied for takeoff. My worst experience was with Hertz when I had a confirmed rental and they didn’t have the car for pickup and then expected me to somehow travel nearly 30 miles to pick up the rental car. I was able to use the FBO with car. Canceled the Hertz and leased the same car cheaper from Enterprise.

    I flew to Midland, Texas on Friday March 29, 2019 for a seminar on Saturday. My company reserved a compact car for me in mid March. There were three people waiting in line before me. The customer at the counter did not have a reservation but got a rental car on the spot. The next three people has reservations including me and had been waiting in line for well over 30 minutes because there was only one representative to assist customers. The next person was told the car he reserved was not available but could have a different car. The customer was angry when he was told he would have to wait 15 or 20 minutes for someone to bring the type of car he reserved and he decided to take the car that was available. The next customer had a similar experience and had to take a different car. I had been waiting for 45 minutes by now.

    The Enterprise Rep told me there no more small compact cars and I had a choice of a minivan, truck, or SUV. I told him I wanted a small compact car and not a large vehicle. He said there will be a car available in about 20 minutes and directed me to sit and wait. He told the next customer the same thing and they elected to sit and wait for a car. About 15 minutes later the Rep called me back to the counter and said he had a car, but it was a small SUV and didn’t want me to wait any longer because it had already been too long. I asked him to check again. He called and there were no small compact cars. I asked him why customers who reserved cars were not given priority and he said Enterprise rents car based on customers who come in and they just offer customers a larger car at the same price if they requested a small compact car.

    Enterprise dealers frequently don’t have cars available for customers with reservations. It took me well over an hour to get a rental car from Enterprise. I spent an extra hour and a half at the airport after I landed to obtain ground transportation. Poor customer service experience and will request a different rental car agency from my employer. Other employees have had similar issues and believe it is time to express these concerns. Thanks. Sorry no stars deserved.

    I was offered a rental through Enterprise because somebody crushed the back side of my car and it needed to be repaired for an extended period of time. I picked up the vehicle, gave them a deposit for the rental contract and my full coverage insurance policy. Later that evening, a thief busted out one window in the vehicle. No other damage. Promptly returned the vehicle and sorted everything out with my insurance and Enterprise. Enterprise received my insurance's payment in full and no further damage was found. I was given a secondary vehicle. They asked me for a 50 dollar deposit on the vehicle. I thought this was perfectly normal, it was for that vehicle. Nobody disclosed to me that it was for damage, because why would I pay for damage when my insurance is already paying you? So I was told my deposit would be able to be refunded after a certain time frame.

    I return the secondary vehicle and waited a while for me to receive a refund. Not only was I not notified of a rate change and charged an additional 200$ that I have to strongarm the insurance company for, I was lied to on the phone saying the deposit will be refunded through the insurance company. The insurance company assured me that deposits will not be refunded. After further dispute with Enterprise customer service informed me that I did not pay a deposit for the secondary vehicle, I maintained the same contract throughout the entire rental period, so I was charged two separate deposits, and will not be seeing either of them being refunded. I have never heard of making two deposits before. My vehicle was damaged and value was depreciated and this is how I am treated.

    We rented a car for a week, paid for extra insurance, spoke directly with the local personnel regarding vehicle details, any dings on the car, insurance, etc. But the person failed to tell us that if we used our local toll road, we would be charged per usage and in addition that they would charge us additional "administrative fees" for using it. We were never told that we could use our own NC quick pass for toll roads, which we would have done if someone had provided that information, which they should have since they should be aware of the local tolls in the area that they service.

    We were told to contact their department that handles these disputes and the person who answered the phone argued with us for about 5 full minutes in a monologue before she had even bothered to pull up our information in her computer system and look at any of our details. In addition to charging our card, they did so not once, not twice but three times and charged us a MONTH later after we had already paid for the car in full. The representatives of the company continued to argue with us about this charge of $20.00 for another 20 minutes.

    This new “vehicle” friendly rule they have about the type of car you get to rent with only a debit card sucks major! I have been stuck in a minivan, understandably when it comes to large SUVs or expensive luxury cars, but cars like chargers or 300s are NOT luxury. This option is the dumbest I have ever heard or saw what they “assume” is a vehicle class. And honestly debit cards are better than credit cards because you can force your payment on a debit card, from a bank, but you can’t on a credit card. They don’t cover things. I think if the damage waiver is covered, optional insurance is selected then it shouldn’t matter what class car. Not everyone loves to Lee themselves in credit card debt so they may not have credit cards.

    For the first time in my life I have rented a car from Enterprise. It was a very bad experience. I made a reservation on your website rental agreement ** ref nr.** at your Calgary downtown location. When I came there everyone was smiling, trying to shake my hand and offering cookies. I thought that they were friendly but it turned out it was all fake. It took a long time before one employee walked me to the van at the parking lot. He had already ALL of my information from my online reservation. Nevertheless he walked me to the van and then walked me back to the office for the 'paperwork'. I found that very weird and very backwards. I have rented from Hertz, Avis and Alamo maybe a hundred times before and never had such a weird experience. it turned out that it should become much worse.

    Finally after a long time I got the key to the van and when I checked the loading deck of the van I saw that it was full of sand, three or four bags of sand were still inside the van, half open with sand running out everywhere. The van was extremely dirty. I went back to the office and told them about the sand. When the guy who walked me to the van saw the sand all over the van he did not look much surprised. He asked me if I wanted to have the van cleaned. I asked him how long this would take. He said it would take only five minutes. I agreed but I was already kind of upset. Why does Enterprise rent dirty cars, I mean extremely dirty cars to customers? Why does Enterprise not check the cars BEFORE they are rented to a customer? I never had a dirty car from Hertz, Avis or Alamo. Those cars are always very clean.

    So they took the truck to the cleaning station. I did not trust my eyes. The cleaner was using a brush which they used in the 1970s in third world countries. I did not say anything, just stood besides the van and waited until he finished. I checked the van and found still lots of sand everywhere. I told him that this was not clean and even showed him the remaining sand. I recommended to use a strong vacuum cleaner, not a brush which looks like the one witches use in fairy tales to ride on them. The cleaner showed a very bad attitude. He was rolling his eyeballs on me. I went inside the office and asked the employee outside to show him how dirty the van still was. He agreed and ordered the cleaners to wash the sand off with pressure washers. It took another five minutes and I got a fairly clean van to drive off. All of the loading platform was wet. They did not dry it. I had to wait for half an hour before it was dry and I could load my belongings on it.

    I returned the van after a few hours after having done my transport. I refueled it generously. When I got the van the tank was less than half empty (I took a photo). Also that is very unusual and not honest. Hertz, Avis and Alamo only gave me cars with a full tank. It is easy to refuel when the tank is full but when it is less than half empty the customer is inconvenienced because he has to calculate the mileage. He has to know the fuel consumption and then he can decide how much to refuel. Very, very inconvenient for the customer!

    When I tried to return the van I stopped in front of the cleaning station. The guy cleaning the car told me in a very unfriendly tone that I could not park there. He was very rude. The office was full with people. All employees were busy and I had to wait again. Finally an employee came to check on the van. He asked me to follow him inside the office. After he had done the electronic paperwork he asked me if I needed a print which I denied. I signed with my finger. I said thank you and have a nice day. He said nothing. This was by far the worst rental car experience in my life!! A horrible experience overall.

Each time I asked for a compact car only to arrive and be told that all there was available were SUVs. This I was told was due to the branch manager in Hartford refusing to send anything but SUVs to the Amherst location. The poor employees at the rental office were not to blame and gave me every discount available and asked me to call the branch manager and complain, which I attempted to do 4 times. I left messages and never received a return call.

    I received a vehicle that was not only filthy dirty but had no gas. It also took about 1 hours to get the vehicle and I had to go to the car wash myself and get just the exterior clean. Windows Inside were still filthy and I had to clean myself. All total it took over 2 hours just to get the rental car so I could drive it. I lost time away from my job that I had no way to recover my money from due to this company. This rental car company seemed not to care about its customers.

    Reserved a midsize vehicle which came up as a Nissan Frontier truck. Got a call from John in Burlington NC confirming the reservation the that I would be picking the truck up. Was waiting on the ride to Enterprise as they do not pick up on Saturday. Got to Enterprise and was told that the truck was not available, also no other midsize vehicle was available. Was told a large Dodge Ram truck was available. I park in a parking deck at work with assigned parking based on the size of your vehicle fitting the space. The parking lot was full of midsize vehicles. So either they tried to scam me out of more money or they lied. Someone needs to watch the episode of making a car reservation by Jerry Seinfeld. Holding and honoring a reservation is very important.

    I cannot even give Enterprise one star. The service was the worst customer service experience I have ever had. I rented a car that was stolen out of my driveway in Florida. Enterprise treated me like I was the criminal. Because of what happened to me, they will no longer rent to me. I pay my bills, I have a good job, and I have excellent credit.

    Price gouging the locals in Baltimore! For several years I have rented a 15 passenger van to attend the annual Preakness race in Baltimore, Maryland, from the local Enterprise office on Eastern Avenue. It has always been convenient to rent from this location 1 mile from my home in the city. On February 26, I tried to reserve the van for May 18th and 19th but was told that it was a three day minimum, literally tripling the price.

    After checking several other Enterprise locations, it appears that all of their Baltimore non-airport locations require the three day minimum. I was told by the Area Manager, Garrett **, that this is done to hold vehicles for customers who will rent for more than 1 day. It's price gouging the locals! Even if you could afford the additional expense, there would be nowhere to park it for 3 days. My only options are to rent the vehicle for 3 full days $792.00 or drive back and forth to BWI airport for 148.99. The local office is 1 miles from my home.

    I suggest Enterprise review their own Consumer Advocacy Statement: "The U.S. Travel Association has recognized Executive Chairman Andrew C. Taylor for his longtime leadership role on this important public policy initiative and for his ongoing efforts on behalf of all car rental customers, regardless of whether they rent for an hour, a day, a week or longer. And the American Car Rental Association (ACRA) has demonstrated that only half of the overall car rental revenue pie comes from airport transactions while the other half comes from local, or neighborhood rentals, in other words, local officials, constituents." Obviously, the local offices have given up on or ignore this very important part of Enterprise Holdings Consumer Advocacy Statement.

    Since February 26, I have emailed a complaint to Enterprise Customer Service and exchanged messages on Facebook only to be told that someone from the local management team would contact me. It's now March 15, still no answer. Where is the Corporate Office? Local management is violating 2 or more of Enterprise Holdings Guiding Principles posted on their website: "Personal honesty and integrity are the foundation of our success. We build loyal, long-term relationships with customers and neighbors by treating them fairly." "Great things happen when we listen...to our customer and to each other." Enterprise, because you can, doesn't mean you should...price gouge. Shame on you for your business ethics and lack of concern for your customers and "neighbors".

    Reserved a vehicle with enterprise in Liberty, Tx and was very dissatisfied. Called to get someone to pick me up and when I did not get an answer, I went to the location to find that no one was there. When one guy arrived he stated that the other worker should be on his way back with the vehicle. I had to be to work for 8:30 am and the pick up time was set for 8:00 am. The other worker arrived around 8:30 am with a dirty vehicle and by this time, I was already late to work. When asked why am I getting a dirty vehicle, the explanation was that they were working on the parking lot so there was not much that could be done about that. I said ok because I know how to wash a vehicle.

    While doing the walk around, I noticed some bumps and scrapes on the passenger side but was told that it was nothing to worry about and that it was already noted. We got to the driver side and checked the gas a mileage and that was fine. I then asked who was bringing me to my home to return my vehicle because I was not leaving it there and was told that the other work would. Well, we did all that and I then went to work. My family was leaving to go to Florida for a few days and we decided to wash the vehicle.

    After washing, the bumps and scrapes were really visible and I quoted what I was told that it was noted and ok not to worry. Well, we arrived back earlier than expected and when I went to return the vehicle it was a totally different story. I was told that I would have to pay for the damages and that I was going to be charged for that. I informed them that was not what was stated and that was not right. She asked if I took pictures and I said, "No, I had no reason to because I was told that it was already noted." She stated that maybe I should have but that they would look into it and get back with me. Well, I feel screwed because the vehicle was not there from the start, they made me late to work, was told it would be one price and was something else when I arrived, and last but not least now they want to charge me for damages that I did not create. Enterprise is a total rip off and should have went with another company.

    Every few months I travel back and forth to Atlanta. I rented a car like I usually do from this company in which I have a frequent account with. Corey greeted me and immediately informed that the vehicle that I requested was not available but not to worry I would be upgraded. As we proceed to go to the vehicles the one I chose was scoffed at by Corey and told me that the "red" Corolla was a better selection. With hesitation I decided to adhere to his advice and proceeded to inspect the vehicle like I usually do. No visible scratches or outward damage was noticed and I proceeded as usual to inspect the interior, sign off on the paperwork and continue on my journey.

    Only this time when I returned the vehicle I noticed an E-employee wasn't readily available. When I began to retrieve my belongings they went straight to the front bumper of the vehicle. The person never answered me when I first approached them to ask if they was an employee. They never answered but continued writing on the paperwork while pulling and tugging at the bottom of the front bumper. Then the employee took a white marker and circled an area on the bumper. When they finished the employee began to tell me that I had to sign for the damage found on the vehicle.

    After our heated discussion, I took pictures of the vehicle before I dashed to my flight. I called my insurance company who informed me that this has been a continuous scam with this company for a long time against consumers and I appealing to you for this to stop. I now have to go into an arbitration with them because I did not damage their car. I intend blasting this on social media. DO NOT RENT FROM THIS COMPANY, THEY'RE A BUNCH OF SCAMMERS!

    On February 12, 2019, I utilized the services of Enterprise Rental (RA# **). Immediately, there were issues. I requested a pickup time of 5:00 pm from my place of employment. At 5:30 pm, I was still awaiting pickup. Upon calling to inquire about the delay, I was told that the representative I spoke to earlier in the day mistakenly made my reservation with the incorrect location. After another 10 minute wait, a representative by the name of Joseph ** picked me up. We arrived at the Enterprise location at 7 pm in the pouring raining. I was asked to submit a $100 deposit despite being told only hours earlier that the deposit would be $50. Joseph took me out to the vehicle, at night, in the pouring rain, to inspect the vehicle. He walked the perimeter of the vehicle and only pointed out the sides and bumpers of the vehicle. Never once did he reference the roof of the vehicle or underneath the vehicle.

    One week later, on February 19, 2019, I returned the vehicle to an Enterprise Rental that was based out of the location my personal vehicle was being repaired at. Despite being normal business hours (10 minutes after the listed opening time), there was not a Representative at the location. I had to leave the keys with an employee from the repair shop to give to your Representative when he arrived. As a result, I was not afforded an inspection upon returning the vehicle. Approximately, 30 minutes after returning the vehicle, I received a call from your Representative stating that there was damage, specifically scratches, to the ROOF OF THE CAR.

    Not once did I ever utilize the roof of the car in the one week time span that I had possession of the car. I stated this to the Representative of the location that I dropped off the vehicle, the location that I picked up the vehicle, and multiple Representatives at the Damage Recovery Unit. I requested a call back from the Manager at the pickup location multiple times to no avail. Joseph ** conducted an inspection at pickup in the PITCH BLACK PARKING LOT IN THE POURING RAIN. I am now being accused of being responsible for PRE-EXISTING DAMAGE to the vehicle. I have no intention of paying for damage that was not caused by me and will pursue all legal remedies.

    Enterprise allowed someone else to rent a car using my identity and then tried to stick me with the bill. I had reserved a car from Enterprise to pick up on Christmas Eve to see my family. When I got to the location to pick it up I was told I was on the "do not rent list" because I owed money for a car that I rented in the summer. I explained that it was impossible as I had not rented a car in the summer. They checked and saw that a women rented a car (I am a male) and Enterprise used all my personal information including driver's licence and insurance.

    They would not correct the issue and I was unable to go see my family. I called their customer service line 5 times over 12 days to address the issue. Each time I was told by the rep that they would call me back. They never did. I sent a registered letter to their legal risk management office and finally got a callback and was told it was a clerical error. I asked how a clerical error allowed a person to rent a car with another person's identity and got no answer. Nor did I get a "sorry we caused you to miss being with your family for Christmas". It appears that this is Enterprise Holdings Corporate policy to ignore and take accountability for their own actions. Your personal information is not only not secure with them, but they fraudulently use it and as now I am finding out, it is distributed on the black web for others to use.

    I used to rent a car from Enterprise on a weekly basis. I picked up the vehicle and returned it exactly the same time, same location, each week. I would take the vehicle for 24 hours. During that time, I usually took 4 trips. Each trip would be a distance of approximately 6 km. And total of 30 km including the distance back to the rental location. The rest of the time, the vehicle was stored safely inside an empty garage at home. There was no other vehicle in a double size garage. Then, one time (the last time) when I returned the vehicle, the fellow told me I had damaged the car. I had not noticed any damage before taken out the vehicle.

    I was shown that there was a slight “dent” behind the left rear wheel. There was no visible mark. It was so inconspicuous that for a regular person with untrained eyes would and could have missed it. It must have been there prior to my rental period. So, 4 weeks later, I was slapped a bill of over $1000, with all kinds of repair to go along with it. This has caused me so much undue stress. Needless to say, I would NEVER rent from Enterprise again.

They also wouldn't let him walk into the local enterprise near him to rent a car, sign the contract, and have that enterprise fax the signed contract to the Hemet enterprise either. He explained the situation and the person said I could just come and pay with a debit card. So we set up the rental and then I'm told that I if I'm paying by debit card I have to bring in a utility bill in my name AND a pay-stub in my name in order to rent.

    I explained to them that I am a stay at home mom and my Significant Other is the breadwinner and therefore the bills AND paystubs are in his name. The checking account the debit card is attached to is a JOINT checking account with him. Doesn't matter. Utility bills AND pay stubs have to be in my name or no car.

    This is going to be a rather long complaint as Enterprise tried to screw me over one time after another after another. It started back in Sept ‘18. I had rented a car to go from Chicago to Nashville, and on the second day was hit by a deer (literally, deer ran into the passenger side of the car). After calling Enterprise and deeming the car no longer safe to drive, they asked us to bring the car to the Nashville location immediately to trade the car out. We got to the location and we're told we had to pay my deductible right then and there in order to get another car, which would be fair if my insurance would have even known what that would be but as it just happened an hour ago it was still in the works. The guy tells me it's normally $500 and just takes the $500 out of my account right then and there. Red flag number 1 (My deductible ended up being $100). We were desperate for a car so we just didn’t put up a fight and went on with our trip.

    When returning the car a few days later at the Chicago location and explaining what happened on the trip, the worker looked at me like I was crazy and told me it was NOT their policy to make us pay the deductible before getting a new car, and if they did it would NOT be as high of a number as $500. He was so sketched out by it, he returned it to me ASAP. He also informed me they charged me for not bringing the damaged car back with a full tank of gas and kindly returned that to me as well. Probably the only good service I was given throughout my whole experience.

    After sending everything to my insurance company, my insurance covered the damaged cost 100%, I only owed my $100 deductible. Enterprise continuously called me and sent me letters saying they had no insurance info for me and I owed them the 3,436$ in damages. After returning every one of their phone calls informing them what my insurance info was AND my insurance trying to contact them they still continued to say they were never given my info. Finally the letters and calls stop and I assumed it was over with and was just waiting for Enterprise to send me my bill for my $100 deductible.

    My insurance company ended up paying the damages minus the $100 on December 15th. On December 23rd, Enterprise sent me another letter with an invoice telling me they have not received money from my insurance for the 3,436$ and if not paid by me in 10 days I will be sent to collections AND I was banned from using them and 3 other rental car places.

    Since the holidays are around the 23rd when they sent the letter, I did not even receive this letter until the day before my deadline to pay what “wasn’t already paid to them”. After calling and telling them I shouldn’t have to owe the couple thousand to them and asked if they had my insurance all that was said to me was “we have your insurance info, anything else?” After talking to my insurance more, they told me to pay my deductible to Enterprise and move on because everything else was taken care of and they might be making a mistake when saying it’s the couple thousand I’m still owing.

    So I paid it. And a month later I get a letter from a collection agency saying I was sent to collections by Enterprise over that $100 deductible. After much fighting between me and the collection agency and me and Enterprise, I FINALLY got my proof in and showed everything was paid that needed to be paid in a reasonable time. I also got a chuckle when even an employee I talked to from the company has no idea how I was sent to collections after receiving ONE letter saying the amount I owed. Enterprise does not know how to handle claims professionally and does not look out for the consumer, only how they’ll get their next buck even if that means trying to scam them. ALWAYS keep proof of payments with this company.

Don't use -- you could be traumatized like I was (please see note below regarding how they communicate -- or don't -- with customers, and how poorly they treat people who have been very good customers for many years). I am writing about my experience at the Gatwick Airport Enterprise branch when I picked up my rental car there on January 25th and dropped it off on February 4th. You will see I called DRU on February 6th to inquire about the situation with the car. At this time, I described my pick-up and drop-off experience to the agent on the phone. She acknowledged this was a concern, and said she added notes to that effect in my file.

    You will see from the claim that the car was misfueled. The details of how this happened are set out below, and I will gladly repeat them as part of an insurance claim or dispute process, if I have to. Before doing that, however, I want to tell you that I have been an Enterprise customer for a long time, and have rented cars many times from the Gatwick branch without issue. I have always found Enterprise agents to be a cut above. In particular, they have stood out for reviewing the details of the car with the customer to make sure the customer is fully apprised of important aspects of the vehicle and all questions are answered.

    In this situation, both check-out and drop-off were unusually poorly handled, resulting in a needlessly traumatic experience and what I am told is damage to the car ranging from a small refueling charge to replacement of the entire engine. On calling DRU on February 6 to ascertain the details of the claim, I was told I would not know for some weeks, which extends the trauma, stress, and worry throughout these weeks.

    I will be traveling to Gatwick multiple times in the future, but at this point I don't feel confident dealing with the staff at the branch. Given that the manager of the branch, Christian **, was not at all inclined to listen to me and to help customers avoid such experiences, I feel I need to warn other customers of the trauma they may experience as a customer there, which I will post to the internet after this message.

    This is unfortunate, because I do believe Enterprise in general to be a good company. My first intention on talking with Mr. ** was to let him know my overall opinion of Enterprise and how it had varied in this case, leading to this outcome. That I truly wouldn't want anyone to experience what I did, which could be prevented. My impression was that Mr. ** did feel some responsibility but felt the need to deny everything on behalf of his agents to avoid responsibility, becoming rude in his defensiveness. His handling of the situation, however, has alienated a long-term customer and will result in similar situations.

    Here are the details of what occurred: At the time of pickup, I had noted that the agent did not take the time agents usually take to review the car with me. Yes, she was polite, but she was clearly in a rush. I had asked if any of the vehicles had a GPS system because my phone was not functioning well at the time. I did not insist, was very polite, and simply just asked. She went into the back office for awhile while I sat and waited. Then she came out, and without any explanation, took me out to get the car.

    When we were out by the car, she informed me I "had an upgrade" for the first time. I remember her saying "We're very happy to be able to rent this car," which struck me as odd. I actually prefer to drive smaller cars in the UK, hadn't been informed of the "upgrade" prior to being taken to the car, and was a bit confused why she would be happy to have the chance to rent this particular car -- was it perhaps not much in demand?

    She seemed in quite a rush, handed me the keys, then noted from her "pad" that the price was different from what she had told me. She then told me she would make sure it was right, and rushed back into the office without reviewing the car with me. At this point, feeling a bit confused and left-alone, I tried to review things in the car by myself, and in fact tried to find her -- I thought she was going to come back. However, waiting a bit, she didn't come back out, so I went over to ask some questions of the person at the outside drop-off kiosk.

    One of the questions I asked was how to determine the car was fully-fueled (it was hard to tell on the dial) -- the person pointed this out, but also didn't inform me that the car required diesel fuel, then quickly went back to her station. I actually went back another time to try to re-confirm with her how to read the dial because she had been so quick with me the first time; she quickly pointed that the tank was full, but at this point it was clear she didn't see this as part of her job.

    At this point, having tried to understand the fueling needs and not been apprised of any alternate fuel requirements, I had no reason to know to ask any further questions. You can see that even though the agents were not thorough with me I tried to do what I could to understand the needs of the car. Had I been told there were alternate requirements, given this would be the first time I had ever used diesel fuel in a car (and despite renting cars multiple times from this very Enterprise branch), I would have certainly asked follow-up questions to make sure I understood what fueling with diesel entails.

    After drop-off, I got a message that there was an issue with the car -- I was able to receive calls at this point as I was on the Gatwick wifi network. I returned from the airport to the branch to discuss. The first agent was understanding and acknowledged that yes, such situations would be avoided if the agent made it clear that the car needed diesel fuel. I asked to talk with the manager at this point as I wanted to make sure this point was understood at his level.

    Please understand that the Gatwick branch is at an airport -- and as such, the agents are renting to people from out of the country, in my case the United States, where it is highly unusual for cars to need diesel fuel. If customers, and the branch itself, is to have a successful rental business, informing customers of such an unusual fueling requirement is essential -- and very important. It would seem that the manager would want to be aware of this to prevent problems. Training agents to make this clear - and adding other measures, such as a sticker on the gas cap stating "Diesel only" would completely prevent such a situation.

    Mr. ** didn't seem to care about any of these things. He kept repeating that his agents were all well-trained and he stood by them. He pointed out how the agent was trying to please me by giving me an upgrade. This seems an odd response to the situation -- I did not ask for nor insist on an upgrade. I was surprised when I was taken to a larger car, and this seemed clear to the agent who was "happy to be able to rent" that particular car and a little flustered herself by handling the difference in price. In fact, agents should be aware that particularly if they give a customer an upgrade, especially in the manner in which it was done with me, it is even more important to review the details of the car that are different from the one reserved. Moreover, trying to please a customer with a bigger car, or being polite in general, does not somehow excuse an agent for a less-than-thorough check-out process.

    At one point, Mr. ** acknowledged that "In many cases, we pay for damage to cars, even when we don't have to," but in my case he wouldn't. I hadn't brought up the branch paying at this point -- my intention was that customers not have the experience I had, and that he understand how this can be avoided. The fact that he responded by a statement about the branch paying, in retrospect, makes me think his demeanor was less about preventing such a situation than concern about his own narrow responsibilities and branch costs.

    It was shocking that he showed so little recognition or concern about the cursory check-out I experienced. Even while his agent herself, and later, the DRU agent on the phone, acknowledged that not informing customers of alternate fuel requirements could cause such traumatic problems, he basically told me I was lying. At no point in my discussion with him was I rude or in any way disruptive -- I was, however, incredulous at how he treated me and his lack of any acknowledgement that it was even possible his agent might not have informed me of fuel needs -- even after I explained at length my rather unusual check-out experience.

    I can understand the check-out agent was rushed and not fully-trained in terms of car-review protocol with the customer; I can understand the branch made a mistake; but I cannot understand a manager treating a customer like this. Mr. ** handling of the situation has alienated me as a customer and made me feel very uncomfortable using the company -- and particularly the Gatwick branch -- in the future. If that is how he runs things, I do not feel I am in good hands with my future rental needs and feel obligated to do what I can to prevent anyone experiencing what I did at the Gatwick branch. Thank you for your time and attention.

    I travel all over the world and rent cars with many rental car companies, but I have experience what I experienced on the 29th of December with Enterprise Rent A Car in Barcelona, Spain. We made a reservation to pick a van at the Barcelona Airport for my family and I (5 people). I needed the car to drive to Madrid (400 miles) and for the 14 days were staying in Spain. Got to the desk and they tell me that my van is not available because they gave it to someone else. Their excuse was that I was 30 minutes after the time I said I was going to pick up the van. So they gave my van to someone else who paid more than what I was paying with my corporate rate. To make things worse, they told me that they had no cars available, but I can see them parked. They offered no help to get me a car, I had no place to stay with my family and they made no effort to help. I had no choice but to paid a lot of money for just one way rental with Sixt to Madrid.

    The story does not end here. I called Enterprise USA, booked a car in Madrid. When I got to the rental car desk in Madrid, they tell me that there are no cars and my reservation is no canceled. After arguing with the manager there for 1 hour, she was kind enough to find me a car. Lesson learned with Enterprise. They will screw you vacation and leave you in a country you don't live.

    First experience dealing with any sort of rental agreement or rental car! What a scam.

No communication, faulty and damaged car given at start (which I was told not to worry about).

    4 days after the car was returned I received a call asking me to deliver the car back to them (unprofessional to say the least), refusal to refund my deposit and now I have been hit with a damage liability claim for something I DID NOT do nor can they prove I done this as the car was out of my possession 4 days prior to it being returned to them. They thought they had an easy target. They thought wrong. An absolute disgrace of a company! If you ever have the misfortune of having to deal with the company take pictures... hundreds of pictures!

    I rented a truck from the airport in Thompson, Manitoba to attend a work-site for the day. I advised the clerk at the airport that I was booked to fly out that same evening and was instructed to simply return the vehicle to the lot and put the keys in the night box. I return the truck, full tank of gas, no damage, pristine. Backed into the parking spot just as I found the truck. And in the Enterprise designated spots. About a month later the clerk calls me to inform me of a big dent in the front bumper. I told them that it must have happened after it was returned. The airport lot is incredibly busy with busses and cars and trucks galore. He accepts my comments and I hear nothing about it for another three months when their service center emails me claiming I am liable for the damage.

    Politely I ask for a copy of the terms and conditions that they are referencing so that I can review. They claim that the customer is responsible for the safekeeping of the car until a representative of that branch can inspect it. It took three times asking for the terms when a PARTIAL copy was finally provided. It turns out that the liability of the customer is just as they suggested IF THE VEHICLE IS RETURNED TO A DIFFERENT LOCATION. The claims rep conveniently chose to keep that clause to herself. That is fraudulent. It is acting in bad faith. Oh, and it’s criminal. To make things more insulting, half of the copy of the terms provided were in French. The claims rep, to this day, refuses to provide the name of her management to address the issue.

    Before I took the rented the car Enterprise did not check the rear door for child lock for any defect as they normally check outside of the car for any existing damage. After I drove the car for half a day with my friend in the rear seat he found that the child lock was defective. So I returned the car to the Enterprise explaining the bad child lock. In response the manager instead of apologetic she started harassing me and even deducted $50 upfront from my credit card and further filed a damaged report which in turn their damage and recovery department further contacted me for more actions on my insurance and possibly pay them more if I didn't act quickly.

    I'll begin with this - this issue may have more to do with the branch than the entire company, but feel it's important to highlight the issue nonetheless. We reserved a vehicle in advance and received confirmation of the rental. Showed up at the enterprise desk in Santo Domingo airport and we were told they did not have a vehicle for us, we could file a claim if we wanted, and got an unsympathetic shrug of the shoulders. We went to a different company and while they did have a car available, it was way too expensive so we turned that down. Finally went to Hertz, who did have a car, but at 3 times the price of our enterprise quote. We ended up paying this since the trip we planned required a car. Very disappointing way to start our trip, both in terms of the lack of concern from staff and the money we ended up having to spend because we were given no notice and had to make last minute plans.

    The initial rental started off good as my car was to only be in the shop about 3 weeks which suddenly grew into 12 weeks. I had an issue with the car about 3 weeks into the rental. The change oil light came on, I called Enterprise and was instructed to have oil changed and would be reimbursed, or come in and get a different car but would be a smaller car. It is their job to handle these things, not mine and I was not getting a smaller car. They said they would call me Monday to come in and exchange cars, didn't happen.

    A few later I get a call that I needed to bring car in as my car was done, that wasn't the case at all. Then when it finally was time to turn in the car they tell me I owed over $500 because the insurance company company hadn't paid and it was my responsibility, and I spoke to Victoria and said my card better not be charged or we would be in court. Today I am reviewing my bank account to see if the $50 hold fee had been returned and it hadn't, as well as I am being charged an additional $22.10 for tolls, the car never went thru the tolls, and she also tells me that the card was charged for an additional day as well as a full detail.

    NOT one phone call from this location, the manager is rude, she is NOT customer service oriented, today she was the same way. I use to rent from Enterprise back home and NOT ever had one issue.

    I travel quote frequently and made a reservation for a 10/31 pickup. As I arrived (which I paid for a Uber to not consume their onsite staff for a pick-up, as they're generally short on associates to help aid guests) they acknowledge my reservation and brought my vehicle around. Just as I’m about to get in and leave, a manager (of some kind) came outside, pulled the keys from the team member, and stated, “That’s not his – you made a mistake – give me those keys” and rudely walked away. “Nothing” was mentioned to myself or even a “pardon me”. I was invisible to this associate. I did feel empathy for the poor person who had to turn to me and explain something he didn’t even understand. Doesn’t Enterprise have processes and policies to avoid these type of issues. I highly suggest they move forward with some sort of customer engagement classes.

    I then drive away - “with a vehicle I didn’t select” and returned the vehicle on 11-3. Now returning the vehicle you would assume is easy, but they close early on Saturday which makes no sense for a rental car company. Every airport has basically 7 day a week support and they don’t close early, plus this location doesn’t operate on Sunday. So since they don’t operate as 99.9% of the industry, they also wanted to bill myself for these days. I was billed for two extra days and when I attempted to explain this to the local office, it fell on deaf ears. (mind you my rental was in their parking lot since 12pm Saturday).

    Their office basically stated this is my fault and I could’ve returned the car to another office that was open. “That makes no sense”. Typically most customers pick their office because of location. Then during my conversation with a local mgr, he basically stated, “We’re 100% correct and you’re on your own.” This is ridiculous, then the onsite mgr has the gall to state “well, I don’t have to do the math again, but I can since you don’t get it”. I then called the customer complaint office “twice”, left my information wanting a return call and nothing has been done. I asked for a follow-up call with their local regional manager or VP, she was suppose to call myself and same response…silence.

    Unfortunately, I can say that this local area of Enterprise is good at one thing, which sadly to say is ignoring issues and replying with silence in which I believe they're hoping I would assume at this point is for the customer to just go away. I travel frequently and a vast majority of my company peers do so as well, but we’re not going to use Enterprise any longer. I will state that the main associate who assisted myself and very courteous and receptive. Other than this, they have a lot of effort and improvement to commit to. Office area was filthy to add, which is not a initial good sign. Shall I go on?

That Tuesday, the vehicle started leaking fluid so my husband dropped it off at the nearest Enterprise (Ontario Airport). The previous day, just after a hard rain, my husband had been driving in a rural area on a dirt road, which collapsed on him, and he believes he may have struck a rock on the undersurface of the vehicle, although at the time the vehicle seemed okay.

    In any case, there were also scratches from that incident, and we filed a claim with our insurance carrier, and Enterprise had him pay $500 for the deductible. We were expecting to get the $100 deposit back and credit for the days the vehicle wasn't used, but Enterprise instead said that because we didn't have it for the whole week we would be charged the individual day rate instead of the rate we had for the week. So they charged us $308 for the few days we had the rental (even though I discussed this with them over and over on the phone, I still can't understand why it was so much more for about half the time). Anyhow, it was a clever maneuvering on their part to make sure they got to eat our security deposit. Liars and thieves. I will NEVER do business with them in the future.

I agreed to that and noted that she said it has 11 gallons in it, but that was all she said about it. When we paid for the rental she explained that there was a $250 deposit that should be back in my account 24-48 hours after we returned the car. It would take that long because it was a debit card. Most of the deposit was returned to my bank account on 1/9/19, but I did not get $24.97 back.

    I emailed to find out why I was charged that much, and yesterday 1/14/19 I got a phone call from a customer service rep who tried a couple of times to convince me that it had been explained to me when I rented the car that I was in effect paying for the full tank of gas that was in the car when I picked it up. I asked him if he thought I would have agreed to buy the entire tank if that had indeed been explained to me when I knew I'd be driving the car less than 120 miles in total. It turned out to my satisfaction, however, because after a few minutes he offered me a refund. We agreed on an amount and apparently the refund will be back in my account tonight or tomorrow. Overall, my experience with Enterprise has been positive and I would rent from them again... and now that the prepaid policy has been explained to me, I will not prepay if I won't be going very far.

    I rented a car with this company last December and the car apparently had a little scratch at the side bumper. Then the employee of the front desk (bad manners person by the way) told us that we need to pay to fix that damage and that we have to call our insurance company! Surprise!!! Then I received a letter with the ridiculous amount of $826.11!!! Yes that was an exaggeration out of any kind of rationable proportion!!! I paid already that amount even I felt stolen and so upset about it! Then (are more...) when I asked for my security deposit returned the company called me (unknown number) to tell that I don't have any right to ask for money back cause I pay late!!! So in total I lost and wasted $1076!!! PLEASE NEVER NEVER RENT A CAR WITH THIS COMPANY. IT WAS SUCH A TOTAL NIGHTMARE!!!

    My vehicle was damaged due to someone backing into me. I needed a rental car due to the time the car was going to be in the shop for repairs. Between the Collision Center and Enterprise, I had a good experience with getting picked up and receiving the rental car. I had some issues with the condition I received the car. One issue being the car I was given smelled horribly like stale cigarette smoke! I am extremely sensitive to smells and this was just unacceptable. I called and talked to a manager and explained my dissatisfaction on the issues I had with the car.

    Erin did her best to offer a solution to make my experience better. She offered a different car to me if I chose. I absolutely took her up on this as I did not feel I could drive this car for the time it would take for my car to finish getting repaired. When I arrived back to Enterprise, Claire met me. She was extremely gracious and accommodating. She gave me a car that was so much better than the first car. She also gave me a few "extras" including a bottle of water. :) The excellent customer service I received and the kind treatment I was given is very much appreciated. Thank You Erin and Claire!!!

    The webpage says: Enterprise Rent A Car - Award Winning Customer Service. Really? In July 2018, I had to rent a car while my vehicle was being repaired. My wife hit a post. I reported it to my insurance company and we paid the deductible to have it repaired. I called Enterprise 2 weeks ahead of our repair date and reserved a vehicle. When I arrived at the Enterprise rental office in Castle Rock, CO they had no vehicles. Five customers were waiting for a vehicle and the environment was rather hostile. There were four young men working the counter for Enterprise and doing their best to find vehicles. I waited an hour for my vehicle and when I finally got one, it was filthy dirty and it had 3/8 of a tank of gas. I quickly walked around the vehicle and admittedly, I did not notice any damage. I kept the vehicle 17 days and on 9-20-18 my wife returned it to Enterprise, exactly as we received it.

    My wife then called me from the Enterprise office and said that they are going to charge us for the dent in the left front fender. I asked her what was she talking about. She said that Enterprise claims there is a dent in the fender that wasn't there when they rented it to us. I couldn't believe it as I had the vehicle 17 days and I hadn't seen any damage to the car. So I go the Enterprise location and look at the car. There was indeed a very small dent in the left fender that you could see if looking at it from the proper angle. I told Enterprise that the vehicle was so dirty when I got it I just didn't notice the damage, as we absolutely did not damage the car. Enterprise basically said, “Too bad, you have to pay for it.” So now it's late Sept 2018. I informed Enterprise that I was going to dispute the accusations.

    Here's what happened from there: 9-20-18: I'm told I have to submit a $500 damage deposit and insurance info. 9-20-18: I review the damage in person. So slight it had to be pointed out to me. 9-25-28: Enterprise calls and says Castle Rock, Office Mgr. will call me. No call was received. 9-26-18: I had to call Enterprise. Spoke with Office Mgr. I'm told the vehicle was at the body shop already. Not sure what this will cost. 9-28-18: Got letter from Enterprise telling me to contact my insurance company or credit card company to report this claim. 10-1-18: I called Enterprise Damage Recovery Unit. Told my side of the story. I was told I would be contacted by Enterprise in a couple of weeks.

    10-18-18: Receive call from Ryan, the Enterprise local Area Manager. He wants to talk about situation. Leaves number to call him. I call him 10 minutes after he leaves a message, but the call went to voicemail. I left a message asking for a return call. No call received. 10-22-18: I call Ryan again. Left message. No call received. 10-23-18: I call Ryan again. Left message. I also called Enterprise Damage Recovery Unit again. Christin tried to call Ryan. NO luck. She sent him email asking him to call me. I did not receive a call from Ryan. I did not hear anything from Enterprise for a month.

    11-26-18: I receive a packet in the mail from Enterprise stating that I owed $812.25. This included $100 administration fee charge, a $59.12 loss of use charge, and a $59.37 Diminishment of Value charge. That means the damage to the vehicle cost $593.76. Now you can see why I didn't see the damage! You can't get a scratch repaired for $593.76.

    12-3-18: I ask Enterprise for a copy of my contract and a copy of the document I signed saying there was no damage to the vehicle. I learn that there is no actual document that I signed. Enterprise informs me that by signing the contract, I verified there was no damage. 12-10-18: I still wanted to talk to the Area Mgr. Another call was placed and I left a message. No callback was received. 12-12-18: Another call was placed to the Area Mgr. I left another message. 12-14-18: I finally received a call from the Area Mgr at 3:45 pm. He says to call him back, within an hour. I wasn't home when he called. I couldn't call him back within the one hour time slot I was allotted, but I called and left another message.

    12-18-18: Called Area Mgr again as he had not returned my previous calls. The Area Mgr simply returned one of my calls and he gave me one hour to call him back. I never spoke with him about the accusation against me regarding damage to the Enterprise vehicle. 1-11-19: I hear from the Damage Recovery Unit. Enterprise is still demanding payment. They agree to waive the attached fees, but I still have to pay $505 for damage that I believe was on the vehicle at the time it was rented.

    Conclusion: Enterprise has no photos of the vehicle before I rented it, verifying there was no damage. There was very slight damage to the vehicle, that I contest I did not see when the vehicle was rented as the vehicle was extremely dirty. I tried to discuss this matter with the Area Manager numerous times, but he only returned one of my calls. Enterprise demands payment. I have no choice but to pay for the damages. I will never rent from Enterprise again.

    My car had to go for repairs so I called Enterprise to check on their available rentals. The person I spoke with assured me someone from the local Enterprise rental agency in Corner Brook, NL, would call me back. That didn't happen so I dropped into the rental agency office to inquire. I spoke with the younger of the two males in the office and he was quite professional and helpful. There were no SUV's available (kindly, he told me they always endeavor to match a customer with the vehicle they normally drive) and that they would get in touch with me when one became available.

    The other agent, sitting in a small office, was listening to the conversation when he probably should have been Googling "How Can I Best Serve the Company that I work For". I asked "Do you deliver?" (Okay, so I should have said "Do you pick customers up as your company ad states?") To which the agent in the office replied "We're not KFC!!!" It was rude, discourteous and disrespectful, uncalled for and unprofessional. I would never rent from Enterprise in Corner Brook again.

    I am a Platinum (top tier) customer with Enterprise. I use them frequently. I had a long term rental and called the local Hot Springs AR Airport Enterprise (Where I rented the vehicle) on 10/29/2018 to let them know I would turn it in on my way out of town at the Little Rock AR Airport on Friday, 11/2/2018. I missed my flight and in order to get another one, had to drive 6 hours to Dallas Texas and spend the night there. The next morning, 10 am 11/3/2018 I turned it in at the D-FW Airport Rental car return and had missed the lane for Enterprise and dropped it off at the Alamo Rental lane which is owned by the same company per the instructions of the attendant, it was okay. Still, I walked over to the Enterprise booth and let them know where it was located. Went on in and caught my flight.

    While waiting, I called my local office and let them know the situation. The following Friday, I went to the local office near where I work in Little Rock, AR to pick up a reservation I had made on my app. They wouldn't rent to me because they said I already had a rental. Come to find out, the previous vehicle hadn't been checked in and this was 11/9/2018. They contacted the home office and let them know. On 11/12/2018, I get an email with a final bill showing that the car was checked in on 11/11/2018. They had overbilled me 1 week and 1 day. Because I paid with a debit card, they seized the $250 deposit I made then put a pending hold on my checking account for an additional $303. Then when my payroll direct deposited seized the money plus an additional fee for toll charges. I had been careful to avoid tolls.

    So they lose their car and charge me for the recovery. Remember I am a Platinum top tier customer. Didn't matter one bit. Phone calls and emails to their local office and their consumer email account went unnoticed and no response or "Sorry, billing screwed up." I finally got a number and all they could say, "It was checked in on 11/11/2018 and you were the last to rent it." Spread the word. Do not rent from Enterprise, Alamo, or National. They are all the same company. If you do turn in a vehicle at the airport, get a paper receipt, so you have proof.

    Here is a brief summary of what I experienced from Enterprise LAX: Absolutely horrific service which went beyond anything I could have imagined. I waited for my car late at night (with my family) after a time change. Everyone was exhausted and the LAX offsite location was busy. We waited 30+ minutes to get to the front of the line that had built up, to be told our car type wasn't avail. We were asked to step aside as someone called a manager (Danielle **). I was told a Q3 would be right out, and we waited... 40 mins or so. The Q3 came out, we breathed a sigh of relief and a sales rep gave our car to another family, right in the face of manager helping us, which was shocking and disrespectful. I complained, they apologized, and we waited. Nearly two hours later after we arrived, a car came out and I was promised a voucher.

    That was 12/22/18... It is now 1/8/19. I sent 3 emails, called in 6 times, was told my issue was escalated to all managers onsite and to Area Mng. Still no resolution, not a single email and zero calls from their leadership. Called tonight (at peak of frustration) and was told no managers were onsite…doubtful. Negligent display from leadership of Enterprise, poor accountability and total disrespect. All I want is my voucher so I can move on.

    I rented a car on Dec 21 from the Highlands Ranch, CO branch. The car was brought to me with half a tank of gas (second time this has happened). Five hours into my trip, the engine blew up. Roadside assistance couldn't figure out how to handle this situation. Within an hour there was a tow truck there to pick up the car and drop me off at the ONLY hotel in town. And that is where I stayed for two and a half days. I was told by the branch, roadside assistance, and every person I spoke to that a car was on its way. Needless to say, they never showed up and no one could figure out how to get a car to me. I was told cars were dispatched etc. After hours on the phone, I finally got a roadside gal to dispatch a car. They loaded a car from Denver Airport, load it and brought it to me. In returned the car at the agreed upon time and location with no apology for anything.

    I wanted reimbursement for the rental and the hotel stay I had to pay for for two nights. At first they tried to say my girlfriend canceled the car to the was coming to me, then they tried to say I hit something. After I told them I took numerous pictures of the vehicle being towed, they then tried to say I put diesel in the vehicle. They couldn't figure out which lie or excuse they tried to use because none of them were plausible. The ** doesn't know what the head is doing. They told me they were returning everything including my hotel bills. Now they have gave me my deposit back then over the course of the last week have been taking small amounts out of my bank account without authority to do so.

    I called the local office to find out why and they told me to cease contact with them. Now when I called after another withdrawal today they told me I was harassing too and I received an email from a district person stating they will no longer do business with me. Bottom line is we will be getting an attorney involved and see what kind of excuse they have in front of a judge... I'm suing. Don't ever rent from them, and if you have vehicle issues then you're screwed on getting to your destination. I was abandoned for two and a half days and this is how you treat your customers?

    First and foremost this is not my first experience with Enterprise. Usually we're okay in the past but this time is unbelievably my worst experience with a rental. I ordered a premium full size car similar to Chevy Impala. They dump a Nissan Altima which is a midsize economy car. Not a full size. I'm 6’4” tall. Most uncomfortable 3000 miles of driving I’ve ever dealt with. I had all the requirements for the full size car but of course they are having issues with vehicles being returned. Sounds like they need to buy some more vehicles. How is a company going to charge me the same price for a smaller car. First issue.

    To further my issues. The safety features for front crash braking are not working so every 5 minutes I get a message that dings as it is displays on the gauge cluster. Then halfway up not even a thousand miles in it decides it needs an oil change. What was it my responsibility to get it a service at Jiffy Lube? Think not. But then I get that message every 15 mins of 30 hours of driving.

    On top of all of that I decided as a responsible gun owner to lock my firearm in the glove box. Which locked with the vehicle key which broke off in the glovebox keyhole. I have still yet to get it unlocked. Now I will admit Enterprise didn’t build the car however all features should be thoroughly checked before renting out a lemon. I do not like being prevented from exercising my 2nd Amendment right. I also plan to give them about 15 mins to figure it out when I return the car before I force the glovebox open with my demo screwdriver. This rental better be substantially reduced due to these issues or will be disputed in entirely by my bank. They deserve no stars!

    Was recently involved in a car accident. Our insurance company set up a reservation for a car from Enterprise. We spent the better part of five hours calling and being put on hold to be told by SEVEN locations that they have no cars to rent except for a Mercedes which we would of course have to pay extra to drive. More than 7 locations and no cars other than a Mercedes. Not only that, they didn't even know when they would have one available! I wish I could leave a negative star review especially since we had to suffer through their phone hold pitch about how much they care about going the extra mile. Not only did they not have cars, they didn't know when they would get one, and NOT one agent even offered to try and "go the extra mile" or even find something out and call us back. Our insurance is USAA and our coverage covers up to a full size, so is not like we're using Bob's Insurance or something...

    I rented a car through Expedia from Enterprise. I picked it up at LAX at 11:59 pm is when I checked it there was a busload of people although it was midnight. My reservation was for the car to be dropped off in Duarte CA. I was charged for 2 days even though I returned the car on the 2nd at 2 pm. The people in Duarte are so horrid especially Brian or Ryan as he never told me his name. I overheard a phone conversation. Anyways when I picked up the car it had a pinhole size in the windshield with a star shape. The guy walked around the car and did not note it on the contract, he also didn't give me a GPS which they said they had.

    Anyways the guy in Duarte walked out and came back and charge me a $50.00 "Preventive maintenance charge" because he said I had put the chip in the windshield. I tried calling the LAX facility and they said that they couldn't help me because they had no record of the windshield being damage and to speak with the manager in Duarte. That only he could help me. The manager there laughed and said that if the people at LAX wanted to help they should have spoken with him which they said they couldn't do cause they couldn't help me. I purchase insurance through Expedia. They charge me $20 for that so altogether I was charged two days of rental plus $50 for a chip in the windshield I had nothing to do with plus $20.00 insurance for nothing. I've never had such horrible experience and to make matters worse I had to walk home because they didn't even want to take me home. Don't rent from these people. They are thieves.

I explained the situation and we looked for the correct location together - could not find it online. They told me that the location I'm looking for is 2 miles away and someone would pick me up shortly. The staff treated the situation and me as a nuisance and were on the border of rude. It took 4 phone calls and more than 1 hour to get a ride to the correct location. It was a complete waste of my time and the staff acted like this is my fault. No apologies, no accommodation.

    4 weeks before my trip I call and set up a trip from IL to WI. I confirm multiple times that I'm picking up in IL and dropping off in WI. But this must have been too complicated for the rep because 2 days before my pickup a different rep calls to confirm that I'm picking up and dropping off at the same location. After explaining that I'm dropping off in WI, the rep says it'll be an extra $150 to drop off at a different location.

    Unpleased, I accept the charge because it would have been the same price had the original rep understood my request. Now my $45 trip is $195. Whatever. I go on my trip and drop off the car, no problems. Then I look at my finishing charge and it's $345. What happened? I call up the store and the rep says the extra $150 charge is "miscellaneous."

    "Would you like to have it refunded?" The rep asks. There was no explanation for this charge. Enterprise was literally going to see if they could get away with taking $150 from me after bending me over a barrel with the drop off charge. This happened over Christmas, so it added a bunch of stress on top of the normal holiday troubles. I wasted a total of 5 hours with these people while on vacation. And I consider that worse than the money they were trying to steal from me.

    This is one of the most unscrupulous companies out there. They will take whatever they can from you, shamelessly like someone breaking into your house. Save yourself the trouble and go with any of their competitors. I don't know if they're any better, but how could they be worse?

    I had made reservations way in advance. They called us 3 days before (on Christmas, so there was no other car available in any other company either) to tell us they were not going to rent us a car. First they claimed it was for a new policy due to location. Any person from our town (we live 10 miles away from the original branch), should go to another branch (7 miles away). When this ridiculous policy turn out to be fake (words of their own customer service), they said it was for another policy with the driver license that was very rigid and couldn't be avoided, which I don't believe because I had rented from them as well as other branches (in other parts of the US and in Europe). Moreover, if this was the real issue and I could not, by any means, rent from them, why did they tell me first to go to the other branch??!!

    They have been giving me false information, both the customer service who told me the day before that my car would be ready, and the branch manager who looked for any possible escape so he didn't have to rent us a car. I truly believe they didn't have enough cars and didn't want to take responsibility of overbooking. Because it was so close to the date, we couldn't find another car, we couldn't cancel our hotel reservation either so that money went to waste. Basically, they ruined our Christmas. I've been a customer of theirs for more than 10 years, but I will never rent again from Enterprise and I will advise others to do the same.

Now this ticket was issued behind the Enterprise office, as per Oakland Police.

    Went to the office. Spoke to Chris who states that Oakland Police has been ticketing their cars in their private parking lot but I am not to worry as they were going to take care of it, and they have received a number of tickets and have sent to head office. My December credit card billing came in with the $78:00 billed to my card. Called citation department. Says they can do nothing about it as it was given by a third party. I would have to get it dismissed by third party. Irony of the situation is that the court handling the ticket in Oakland said they can do nothing as the ticket was issued to Enterprise - not me.

The desk attendant at Enterprise sells me additional $25 in insurance coverage and explains to me that the Expedia insurance isn’t good, and I really should buy the Enterprise coverage.

    I didn’t have time to argue with them, after the $64 I pre-paid on Expedia I was now being charged $86 at Enterprise as I’m picking up my vehicle. I hand over my debit card, then I’m told I need a credit card and I can’t rent a car at an airport location with a debit card. Reading through these reviews I can see I’m not alone. After a 4 hour delay I did rent a car from the local Toyota dealership. My entire experience at the Toyota dealership was great, fast friendly service, no added charges, no sales game.

This is buried in small print in the middle of their terms which you have to agree to. I wasted almost two hundred dollars on this. I doubt I will ever see my money back. This is just a warning to all out there to not do the prepaid unless you are certain to use the vehicle for the entire time you are renting for.

    My car broke down and I needed a one day rental for 2 very important meetings, one a doctor's office. The young woman that answered the phone in Shallotte, NC was so miserable and angry I was actually concerned for her at first. After asking a few questions I could tell she was not getting away with a rating on a curve-- she was just plain mean. I called Uber.

    We have been a loyal customer for over 10 years, but because of the treatment by ** and her staff at the Greer branch located at 14370 E Wade Hampton Blvd, Greer SC, we will never return. After making several weekly payments at another location in NC due to commuting for work, we were informed by ** to bring in an additional $78 in the form of a money order by the end of the week in order to extend our contract as normal and to rewrite another contract per company policy. We proceeded to travel back to South Carolina as requested. We purchased a money order to cover the amount stated in addition of $120 for additional days needed.

    Once ** accepted our money order, she proceeded to request the keys to the car and that we were not going to be able to extend (my family and I were stranded). She stated that she had already contacted the police and that we needed to get an additional exact money order for the amount of $78 and then we would be mailed the $200 money order we had already paid with. After waiting for the police to arrive, we had to pay additional $78 and was given the money order already designated to pay Enterprise and were left stranded in the rain and cold. Bottom line, DO NOT RENT FROM THIS LOCATION. Not to mention, I was told by customer care that “it wasn’t end good for me.” Unacceptable.

    I had a terrible experience. The person was rude and didn't want to assist me. I am a plus member and I had rented there before. I just got a new bank card which didn't have my name but my money was there and I had all forms of Id with my name on it. They would not rent me a car. When I ask to talk to a manager or get someone on the phone they refused. I even offered cash as a deposit. They still would not help. They were not sympathetic to my situation. I needed the car to pick up my children which I haven't seen in a while. This location has terrible service and the reservation center which I also called cut me off on the phone and hung up on me.

    Update on 12/23/2018: Enterprise Rent A Car put on a show, they only responded to my review to make it look like they were going to try to help, But all they did was sent a message... Lol. It's almost funny, brace yourselves... You guessed it, they sent a message to the Blanding branch, lol, the same exact branch that is the reason for ALL of my Enterprise reviews, and when Eric (The reg. manager, a.k.a Blanding employee) called me, he made it clear that he was calling to support the interest of his Co-workers and that he could care less what my problem was.

    But wait there's more, On December 13, 2018 long after I turned the car in Enterprise charged over $1000 to my account and no one will tell me why, they are giving me the runaround, and they are starting to piss me off. If someone doesn't contact me within the next 7 days and give me my money back, I will take legal action. Enterprise is clearly retaliating because I'm posting on Consumer Affairs site, my next post will contain recorded phone calls, and screenshots, take it however you want, I'm done being nice, Enterprise has been very cruel to me, I AM OVER IT!

    Updated on 12/06/2018: So I wrote a review yesterday, I'm pretty sure they are retaliating now. The car broke down again last night, my branch promised one just like it but never got it for me, so I called roadside assistance. They were very helpful unfortunately Enterprise told them not to help me, so my kids and I slept in the car last night at freezing temperatures. Not to mention I couldn't even go back to the hospital to be with my son. I frequently log into my Enterprise account to check my points. Well this morning there was a pop up screen telling me to call, so I did. The representative said Enterprise put me on a DO NOT RENT list. I wasn't going online to rent but assuming that's what they were thinking.

    They are cruel, heartless and liars, regardless as to what's going on they were dead wrong for leaving my kids and I stranded in the cold last night. I used to love Enterprise but at this point I wish I could give them negative 20 million stars. There's nothing I can say or do because they will always take the side of their employees. Oh yeah one more thing, They won't accept payment from me so I'm assuming they will call the cops soon if not already and tell them I'm not paying for the rental, but from this point on, everything that happens I will put it in a review here because they just may get away with their lies and deception.

    Original review: I'll start by saying I am a Platinum Tier member, I have rented cars from Enterprise for almost 2 decades, so I was very shocked to be treated so horribly. So here's what happened in short form, I rented a car from the Blanding location in Jacksonville, Fl 32244 like I always do, but this time it was a rocky road from jump. I had to keep complaining to them about charging me different prices every week when I called to extend rental. The employees became aggravated with me and was immediately defensive whenever I called. My car was malfunctioning so I had to trade it out when I went to Tallahassee to visit my aunt in the nursing home. The Tallahassee Enterprise gave me a car that was raggedy. 2 hours after I got the car it broke down on me. I called Enterprise and they said they'd send help but I had to pay for it.

    I had my 3 kids in the car and was stranded until 3 o'clock in the morning when someone finally gave me a jump. I loved the car. It had just enough space so the next day they said I could take it to a shop of their choice and Enterprise would pay for it. So I took it to the shop, they never replaced the battery. They said it was fine so they cleaned it up. That was a month ago and I still have to get jumps sometimes. My location said they would call me when they got a car just like this one but they never did. My son who is Autistic had a health emergency so I had to take him to see a specialist in Oklahoma. So for the past 3 weeks we have been here, It hasn't been easy. I don't know anyone here and Hotels are pricey so some nights we stay at hotels other nights we sleep in the car.

    Enterprise say I needed to do a rewrite, but each time I go to get it done there is an issue or someone is trying to overcharge me. Not to mention they want me to pay a deposit on top of a deposit, so they say I'm not trying hard enough to get the re-write done and yesterday when I went back to Enterprise again, they called the Blanding branch, and the Blanding branch told them to take the car away from me. I haven't turned car in yet because they are being unfair. I have held up my end of the bargain all while worrying about my son. I could understand if I owe them money or had a horrible record, but I have always brought my car back super clean, never had my deposit taken, never been in accident and I have a Platinum Tier. The employees are being dishonest and taking up for each other.

    There's so much more in between but this is the short version. Oh yeah I have recorded phone calls and documents to prove everything I just said and some, even about the money they owe me. I hate that I had to come on here but they are leaving me with no choice because now they are threatening to call the cops on me and say I stole the car, I have been nothing but good to Enterprise and I don't deserve this. If they take the car my kids and I will be stranded in a state where I know no one, and my son is sick and it's a snowstorm coming.

    So after speaking with the Blanding branch yesterday I'm totally convinced that they are doing all of this to cover up their mistakes, and after getting the run around each time I tried to do the rewrite I also think they were never going to let me do the rewrite. They just wanted to trick me so they can take the car and make it look like I did something wrong. The branches get to do whatever they want and they know it because every time you try to report them or corporate says they'll call you back after sending you to escalations no one ever calls back.

    If I could give this place of business -100 stars I would. In November 2018 I was driving their rental vehicle after an insurance claim with my personal vehicle. While driving it from Nashville back to Athens, a rock hit the windshield. The spot started out as small as a ballpoint pen point and was outside of my view. I called the Athens branch and asked them if I needed to get resin put in it to make sure the damage was kept under their circle of parameters. They told me to stop near the closest Enterprise and they could help. The closest Enterprise to where I was at the time was in Tullahoma. I put in the directions for that location and call and tell them I’m on my way and let them know the situation, they told me they could not help me. At this point I am frustrated because I know this crack will grow if I don’t call Safelite and get the resin put on the window quickly.

    I called the customer service line and they told me not to worry about it, they have noted my account and as long as I feel safe driving it everything is fine. So then when I go to turn my car in on December 4, 2018 Brittney checks out my car and she says that they will have to file a claim for the window crack which has grown significantly since the incident in November. I explained that my account was noted and that I was told to keep driving it and not to worry about it. She said I would still have to pay to have the full window repaired. She asked for my insurance which I did not have a copy of since it was in my car at the shop which I had not picked up yet. My husband and I got very upset because we were told not to worry about minimizing the damage.

    Brittney asked if she had permission to charge my card on file (I never left a card on file, the only way they had access to my card was because I prepaid for gas when I checked the car out). I told her no, she could not that. I would like for her to talk with my insurance company first. My husband told Brittney something to the effect of “Don’t worry. Next time we will just call the Amish and rent a horse and buggy from them” and left the office because he was so upset. Brittney was silent for a minute or so while I stared at the back of her computer screen waiting for some type of resolution and when she finally speaks she says “ok you are ready to go”. So I leave, thinking I will be sending them my insurance info tomorrow and we can see the best route to take this.

    As soon as I get home I look at my bank account and they have taken $200 out to fix the window. I verbally told her “No you may not charge my card” and she did anyways. I have no receipt and they do not even have a bill from whoever they are going to use to replace the window, if I don’t have a bill there is no reason for me to pay for that window yet. I am VERY disappointed in their service, deception, and business practices. I never in my life have left a review like this for a business but I guess there is a first for everything. I called the customer care center after I saw the charge since the local branch was closed at this point and they said they would have a regional manager call me, I will update my review as soon as I get that call and issues are resolved.

Then I had to dispute it. After disputing it, they refunded all but $100 which is the fee for not cancelling in a timely manner. I paid them $100 for absolutely nothing as I cancelled 4 days prior than required. Very unprofessional company.

    So I booked a rental 2 months in advance for a mini van rental for pickup out of Durham, NC for the Thanksgiving holiday we use them every year for the last 6 years. I had the confirmation to support and my pickup time was 4pm. The day before pickup November 19 I received a call from the location 533f on Hwy 501N to confirm whether or not I was going to get the rental.

    Normally I am available to answer calls during my work day but this particular day we were preparing for the holiday and I was in multiple back to back meetings so with this being the case I missed the call. Nevertheless, I still had a standing reservation and confirmed reservation in place. No reason to panic. Right? Wrong. The morning I am scheduled to pick up the rental I call the Durham location to confirm and find that they did not have the mini van I'd expected which leads me to believe they never had a mini van to rent or that they gave my rental to someone else in spite of my reservation.

    You'll also want to note my pick up time was 4pm so there should have been a rental available for me at 4pm that matched what I was expecting when I received the confirmation email. THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. So to try and resolve the issue they began calling me all day attempting to fix their mistake. However, they were communicating that they would only be able to put me in a smaller vehicle that didn't have the capacity I was expecting and that they couldn't adjust the price. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.

    So I get to the location after traveling from Maryland and I'm then told that not only is my rental smaller, doesn't meet my capacity needs but that I now will need a major credit card because of my out of town license. I wasn't aware of this policy but I understand policy. I did not at the time have a major credit card; but thanks to them and this incident I've secured one now, however I asked if there was anything they could do to make amends for this issue. They said no.

    At this time I was livid because this had gone on all day in spite of my being prepared with a confirmed reservation in hand. So we tried to see if they would accept my cousin's credit card as payment but they then stated that they'd have to do an entirely new reservation which meant on the day before the holiday the price would double. I've rented with Enterprise for years at 10+ but this was beyond unacceptable. They then told us we could go to the airport to pickup but again they couldn't honor or guarantee that my price on my reservation would be honored. And even though we asked if they could call the airport as a courtesy to try and fix the mess that they'd caused. They refused.

    I asked for the District Managers name and information and they refused to give the information to us. My holiday trip was ruined and there was no customer service, no professionalism and they were unapologetic about the whole entire incident as if I done something wrong. I followed my normal steps and was handled like my business didn't even matter to them. I couldn't believe how unprofessional they were and how they were not willing to work with us at all to fix their mess up.

    I AM BEYOND DISSAPPOINTED WITH ENTERPRISE IN DURHAM, NC 533F ON HWY 501N. DO NOT EVER GO TO THIS LOCATION. Needless to say we rented elsewhere. Budget to be exact and they were more than accommodating and professional. They were able to meet all of our needs and they worked to ensure we had a better experience. Thanks Budget you now have my business since it wasn't worth anything to ENTERPRISE.

    Everytime I rent a car from Enterprise I have a Rheumatoid Arthritis flare up. The chemicals they use to clean the car makes me sick. I had an accident in my car several weeks ago. My insurance company only has a contract with Enterprise. The day before going to inspect the rental, the collision company assured me they informed Enterprise to only clean the car with water and to vacuum it. I went to look at the rental and to inspect the car before dropping my car off to be repaired.

    When I got to Enterprise they only had two cars available. I looked at the first rental, I asked the customer rep if the car had been cleaned and he said yes. I noticed footprint stains on the car mats. I sat in the car and noticed a stench and immediately I could taste chemicals. I looked at the other car and it had the same footprint stains and garbage in the door handled. I refused to sit in or inspect it any further. I left, on my drive home I began to get very dizzy, I had a headache and my throat was sore. When I got back home I called back to Enterprise and spoke with the manager Adam. I explained to him my disappointment that my wishes were not taken into consideration. We agreed that when I decide to drop my car to be repaired that he would prepare the car for me.

    My concern is that whatever chemicals they use that consideration and care needs to be considered when a customer ask for them not to use their chemicals.

    This entire situation has caused me to have a Rheumatoid Arthritis flare up and I am still waiting to get my car repaired. Also, perhaps using a more natural solution to clean the car should also be evaluated.

    For reference, I have rented cars in Cabo for over 5 years. Each experience had its challenges, some better than others but this one was by far the worst. I think there's a common perception that you are getting swindled when you rent a car in Cabo and these guys truly make that perception a reality. Very disappointed in my experience with Enterprise at the Cabo Airport. I booked a minivan for my family but was given a much smaller Jeep. It was like an episode of Seinfeld where they knew how to take my reservation but they didn't know how to keep the reservation. I spend almost an hour telling them I didn't want a small discount on the Jeep, I just wanted the more expensive minivan that I had reserved. I was willing to pay more for the minivan as I wanted the extra space, hence, why I made the minivan reservation in the first place.

    They finally told me to take the Jeep to the hotel and they would drop a minivan off at the hotel the next day. Needless to say, that never happened. They just said that to get me on my way. I should also mention that the mandatory insurance that I accepted was listed as "Upsell" when I asked to review the numbers on their computer screen. Upon returning the car, they ended up giving me a small discount. It wasn't anything to repair the terrible experience. My fault for not taking a closer look at the final bill as I was focused on getting to the airport and getting my family through security but they actually charged me a late fee though I was not late! I confirmed times on the rental agreement and the drop off time was not late.

    The small discount they gave me was recaptured by the staff by charging me a late fee! As my family and I were waiting for the airport shuttle, I could overhear multiple families complaining and dropping "F-bombs" and saying "I don't trust these guys at all!" I'm a big believer in online reviews and the power of the collective people. Over 99% of my online reviews are very positive (4-5 stars). This is my first 1-star review and I must say that Enterprise at the Cabo Airport earned it.

    Before I get started, I should say I WASN’T the customer in this particular case. It’s an older couple who doesn’t go online. I myself have rented with Enterprise for more than a decade. On November 17th, my mother and I took our neighbors to the Enterprise at 185 Eastern Blvd. We got there a few minutes before the 9 am opening time and expected to have a vehicle in about 30 minutes at most. They had to wait nearly 90 minutes for the vehicle. What happened?

    1. The vehicles should have been washed BEFORE the customers came.
    2. People BEHIND the couple were getting served while they were completely ignored.
    3. They’re giving high-fives and dancing. This is a professional workplace, not a football stadium.
    4. My mother got up and started yelling to get their attention. The man said, “I like everybody.” False.
    5. He later said a vehicle wouldn’t be available until AFTER 1pm. False.

    6. My mother, already fuming, got the manager, who got the couple a van in about ten minutes.

    This fiasco doesn’t end there, either.
    7. Because it was a breakdown and NOT an accident, the couple was charged $82/day!
    8. There was a streak of blue paint on the driver’s side exterior. Where did that come from?

So on that day we went to pick it up, they had no S.U.V. They did not even know we were coming to pick it up. So we settled for a car because something is better than nothing. It is winter time. The car has all season tires on it in which in most cases do terrible on winter roads.

    Their procedures really need changed. It is turning it into a circus that is uncalled for. They never mentioned needing a credit card for the deposit that they never mentioned that we needed to put down on it.

Confirmation on 11/1/18 for a premium SUV, call received 11/20/18 at 1200 (less than 24 hr before we were to depart) that they were unable to secure the vehicle and tried to pass off a compact vehicle in its place. Corporate and the "branch manager" of said location basically said, "sorry, too bad." There was profanity on my end due to the endless number of people I had to speak to that were unable to even come close to fixing the situation. I'm not sorry. I will never use their services again and will ardently campaign against using them to anyone I know.

    I rented a midsize SUV described by them as a Ford Explorer or similar... After checking in with the store twice I was told it would be one of three cars Jeep Grand Cherokee or a Hyundai Santa Fe... Upon arrival I was walked out to a Chevrolet Equinox which is a compact SUV and not nearly big enough for the trip. Not to mention the car looked like it had been through a war...

    When I told the guy this wouldn't work he told me that was a midsize SUV. This car is the size of a Ford Escape at best. He then told me the only thing he has is a Ford Flex for another 300 dollars over what I was paying... After going back and forth he told me I can just wait there. Somebody may or may not turn in a car early. This guy can't be serious so he told me he had to go and practically ran away... So I canceled my trip, ate all the cancellation fees for the hotels and I will not be seeing family this year. Thanks Enterprise. On the way home a employee told me they hardly ever see Ford Explorer there.

    DON'T USE THEM!!! I reserved a mid-sized SUV for my daughter and grandson to visit for the holidays. When my daughter arrived, she was informed that their policy required a major credit card (not a debit card w/VISA logo) for that vehicle. When I informed the rep that it didn't indicate this on their reservation website, I was told that there was nothing he could do and that she could only rent a 2WD car.

    Yeah, drive to Colorado in a 2WD - I don't think so. I called Enterprise customer service (never bother doing this), I was informed that the policy for renting a car using a debit card w/a VISA/MC logo included a mid-sized SUV. When I informed the rep of what the local shop said, Gwen stated that I should call back and talk to a manager and then read me the entire policy which includes having a paycheck stub to prove employment, a recent utility bill in the driver's name, and that the driver would have to live within a 20 mile radius of where the car was being rented from.

    When I asked if she could call or, put a note in the system, I was told that she wouldn't put in a note because this policy was already there for all to see. I was then told by Gwen, "Well, I'm sorry ma'am that not everything works out in your favor." Award winning customer service? I got better customer service in 3rd world countries! By the way, NONE of these supposed policies are given prior to or during any portion of the booking process. You find out these nuggets when you arrive to start your trip. GO ANYWHERE OTHER THAN ENTERPRISE!!!

    I have been renting cars at the West Boca Raton location for many many years now. They have consistently given me either the wrong size car or a dirty car, a smelly car or the car is not ready and so on. I have never complained as this location is convenient for me. I have always given them a good rating as well since I do not like to hurt business ratings. However...today was the last straw! I reserved a car online and when I arrived there, was told they did not have a car since I am 45 minutes late in picking it up! I believe a phone call in the very least, would have been a good thing if they were going to give up my reservation! I had to accept the delay of 2 hours since I need a car today for my son. However...this will be the last rental at this location for me!

    I went to rent a car from Enterprise on 8208 Georgia Ave Silver Spring MD 20910 and this was my experience: I got a reservation from my insurance for rental car and when I went there the car was not ready. They gave me an appointment to pick me up from my house. After they picked me up, the agent filled out the forms in his office. This is where they asked me about my insurance and my deductibles. The staff looks very helpful; but they won't hesitate to catch you in their trap. The agent gave me a car that had an expired registration. I did not notice this at the time, and I realized four days later.

    I went to return the car to either get new registration or a replacement car. As soon as I arrived, I met with one of the agents, and he made a visual inspection of the car. He then proceeded to tell me that he saw a small dent on the hood of the car. I didn't see the dent when I first received the car because the dent was only recognizable if you had felt the hood of the car. He specified that it was minor but he still had to tell his boss about it. The boss comes to check the dent on the car by using a 3 X 3 inch inspection glass. He then decided that there was a dent and returned to his office to fill the insurance claim. He filled out the insurance claim and blamed the damages on me when I wasn't responsible.

    Finally they decided to charge me 500 dollars for that small dent that I had not caused. This company tries to hustle its customers and make them pay extra just to make a little bit more money. If you ever rent from this company make sure to check the car for damages because they will try to make you pay for preexisting damages.

    Made a reservation two months in advance, went to pick up the vehicle reserved, vehicle not available. This was a specific vehicle and they said they would have to substitute with a lesser vehicle. After many rentals of doing the same thing constantly changing Vehicles because not available. Personnel changes new faces each and every time we went in 4 rentals. No loyalty to repeat customers especially when you make a notation to them that there was a problem with previous rental. Then them offering compensation but compensation not realized. End of the line after 20-plus years of rentals finding new company hopefully with better service.

    My daughter and I rented a car for approximately 10 days in St. Malo, France in early August. We returned the car on August 20th when staff was not in the office and they tried to put through an additional charge for $644.38. The charge was declined by my credit card company because my account had been suspended earlier in the day due to an unrecognized charge I had declined. I contacted our card company when I got home and we jointly called the Enterprise office in St. Malo, France. The individual I had worked with to pick up the car answered the phone and I explained that we were calling regarding the above-referenced charge. At that time, she indicated that the car had been returned damaged. I disputed that was the case and the call was disconnected. The credit card company representative tried to call back immediately but the call went straight to voicemail.

    At that point, I asked for a refund of the EUR 250.00 deposit I had paid at the St. Malo office when I picked up the car. It was explained to me that the EUR 250.00 deposit was kept by the local office in the event the car was returned damaged. Since the car was not returned damaged and no documentation had been provided to demonstrate damage, I believed that amount (converted at the then current exchange rate) should be returned to me.

    When the credit card company contacted the Enterprise office in St. Malo, the staff provided documentation reflecting the EUR 250 charge as a DIV. Franchise charge that should be retained by Enterprise. I did not have a copy of that document in the file of documentation I received when I picked up the car. It is important to note that the staff DID NOT pursue the claim that the car was returned damaged. After providing the credit card company with the contract I received and signed at the time of pick-up as well as the Expedia booking which shows what I agreed to pay for the rental of the vehicle, they credited my account for the EUR 250.00.

    While I was fortunate to be working with a very strong credit card company and to have retained documentation sufficient for the case to be resolved in my favor, others might not be so fortunate. I was initially shocked that a company like Enterprise would allow franchisees to operation in this manner. I booked with them, in part, because I had read that some local rental car companies use this type of scam on foreign renters. I received a customer satisfaction survey call from Enterprise shortly after I returned. I gave a very negative review and asked to be contacted. I have not been contacted and, after reading other reviews, I don't expect to be contacted by a very weak Enterprise customer service.

    On August 30th at 5:36 pm I returned the rental car (to the Gulfport rental office at 535 Pass Road in Mississippi) that my insurance had covered with, to my knowledge, the exception of Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I expected to pay those three days out of pocket and was ready to do so after the vehicle was inspected. I waited at the desk with card in hand to pay my bill and was told by the manager that my bill was covered in total by USAA and they had extended the coverage. I found it odd they would do that and asked if he was sure. He said he was sure since there was an email sent. There were several employees present during this conversation.

    Later I receive an invoice stating my 50 dollar deposit was not refunded and I owed $27.43. I called the Pass Road, Gulfport rental office and spoke with **, the assistant manager. I reminded him, because he was there, that the manager told me that I owed no balance. He stated that conversation never happened many times over. I asked him, if I owed a balance then why was my card not accepted the day of return. He would not answer that question but continued to refer to "that conversation never happened and it is not in his notes". I called my insurance afterwards and asked if they knew what was going on. They informed me they sent no such email and we're confused what the manager may have meant.

    They spoke with ** on the line and I was not able to hear the conversation but my insurance agent told me ** in short words called me a liar and the conversation never happened and that I made it all up. I thanked her for her time and decided to reach another person. I tried to get ahold of people at the regional office in Flowood, Mississippi for a while now and am never able to get ahold of anyone during office hours, not even an operator. I left voicemail and received 1 voicemail back from a restricted number that gave no name but only the same office number I had called dozens of times (no extension included). I called the corporate office as well and spoke to some operators. One helpful and the other not so much. I was told by the helpful lady that I would be contacted (which led to the voicemail I guess).

    Another time I had been told that I would be contacted after I had tried calling back the regional office and no one picked up. I tried to ask the lady from escalations (I can't remember what the office was called) if the Flowood office was active and she wouldn't answer that question but kept saying I would be contacted and to not contact them. The care center contacted me to try and get this resolved but nothing happened. Finally a few days ago, mind you this is now November, I was contacted to pay the 27 dollars owed. I decided to get it over with so they don't ruin my credit. I paid over the phone only to find they charged me 31.54... they never informed me I would be charged extra over the phone. I am so done with this company. They don't care about people.

    I have rented cars from the Cary office on Team Hendrick Way. Never thought about the customer service until yesterday when I took an SUV back and was retrieving my car and it wouldn't start, the Manager Sam tried to help me jump it but something was really wrong. I had no way home, so Sam and Stephanie put me and my daughter in a car and we were on our way. I just want to thank them for going above and beyond in an uncomfortable situation.
