I have been using Enterprise for over 20 years, and I have always been very happy with them until now. When I brought my car back, the customer service representative, (Shevren **) spent a good 10 minutes going over the car to try to find something to charge me for. Finally he told me that he was going to charge me $125.00 for detailing the car because of dog hair.
When I take my 4 pound dog in the car, I put a blanket on the seat just for extra measure. I looked closely and found about 5 hairs. I have rented at least 20 cars from Enterprise, with the same small dog. Never has anyone tried to charge me $125.00 detail fee for 5 dog hairs. I asked if I could use the vacuum that was 10 feet away from where I was parked and I was told that it was for staff only. I had to drive up and down the road looking for a gas station with a vacuum. When I found one, it took me less than 30 seconds to vacuum the 5 dog hairs. When I came back and voiced my opinion, to the manager he was extremely rude and condescending. I don't know if it is just that this location is rude and incompetent, or if Enterprise is trying to increase their revenues by trying to stick people with a $125.00 "detail fee" for a 30 second vacuum. Either way, I will never use them again.

Rented car, Milwaukee airport. Turned orange Veloster Hyundai car in at airport 21st Oct at 5:12pm, it was busy and rushed. I pulled up, kid tells me to just leave keys in car and grab suitcase and get out. Handed me a receipt. I had gone swimming so I took my ring off and put it on the key ring attached to a climbing clip along with my suitcase key. I accidentally left it on key chain. Didn't notice until I landed 2.5 hrs later. Immediately called rental place, no answer, left message, no return call. Called 4 times and emailed them no response. This was on Friday. Called Sat and Sunday no answers no return call. Finally reached someone Monday. Finally got someone to look... so they say, and of course they can't find the clip that was on the key chain with my ring and luggage key. Poor customer service and thieves. I'll never use Enterprise car rental again.

There was a credit card issue, my cell phone was not working so they called my son who managed to get a hold of me. I called them within minutes, talking to Stark who told there was a paperwork issue and I needed to go to a agency right away. Asked I was going to need to turn the car in he said no. Even at one point told me if I did not cooperate he would call the sheriffs, mind you I called him back. I get to Enterprise and they told me there was a credit card issue with my client. I gave them my card but he was told to take the car and refuse me service. When I called the service they said they only manage cars, they are not the rental agency, so I asked why tell them not to rent to me when I was there to take care of the bill. He told "go rent from Avis" and hung up on me.

Horrible is all I can say. I called their toll free number and reserved a car, to get to a funeral about 220 miles away nonetheless as I didn't want to put the miles on my leased vehicle. I showed up at the time I was told to and at the place I reserved it, and guess what? There were no cars on site, not one! All the gal at the desk could do was stammer around and tell me she was sorry. I suggested she get on the phone and start calling around town to other rental companies and find me a car, nope, no can do. She offered me NOTHING to rectify the situation. The funeral I had to get too was a four hour drive and Enterprise dropped that steaming nugget on me five hours before it was to start. I could tell from the way she was acting that this happens all the time. She was not surprised in the least little bit.
After seeing I was going to get no relief from her, I left and called their toll free "service" line from the parking lot, which was equally worthless. The first person on the phone simply hung up on me and the other just sputtered around for several minutes offering no sort of "service" what so ever. Enterprise is a bunch of scammers. They did NOTHING to try and assist me for their screw up. Pathetic bunch of monkies. Luckily I was able to quickly locate a car at a nearby National Car Rental. I will never do business with Enterprise again and having since experienced this I have heard from others who have had the same rotten experience. I also filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau which sadly, best I can tell is the shell of the organization it once was.

A car was rented for me while repairs were being done on my car. Trying to make it back to pick up my car before they closed my vehicle had a flat. I was 2 miles from their location. I called them and they give me a number to call. The tow truck never showed up although he went by my vehicle twice. I called Enterprise once again and explained my situation. I told them I was 2 miles from their office and it was getting dark. I am a 62 year old disabled lady and asked if they would come pick me up. Again they told me to call a tow truck. Finally they sent a young man whom was very nice but it took him 45 minutes to find me. 2 and 1/2 miles from their office on the same Rd. He told me to leave the vehicle give him the keys and he would take me where I needed to go.
The next morning out of concern I called to see if they had finally gotten the vehicle. They once again told me I needed to call a tow truck. After explaining to the RUDE AGENT that it was 2 miles from their location and I had been instructed to leave it there she told me I would have to pay the tow fee. NEVER AGAIN WILL I RENT FROM ENTERPRISE. THIS WAS IN UNION CITY GA.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! First car they rented me was missing a hubcap. Second one was better but now they are trying to make me pay for a dent that was already in the door of the car when I rented it. Customer service is horrible, and they always have a long wait. I will never rent from them again and warn you not to either.

Warning: don't ever rent a car from Enterprise!!! Don't let them lure you with their cheap rates because you will end up paying way more than what you were promised!!! I rented a car with a dent and a chipped windshield, they marked them on their receipt paper. But then, a week after dropping the car at a different location, I receive a letter from Enterprise blaming me for the damage on the car and informing me that a claim has been filed on my insurance!! They did all that without consulting me or the branch (from where I picked the car) concerning the damage on the car. I called corporate to resolve the issue (cause I did not cause any damage to the car whatsoever) and they were very assuring that the claim will be dropped. But of course, nothing happened!! Further action will be taken from my end, but I wanted to warn the public of their cheap little games!! Don't be fooled like I was. :((

I rented a vehicle from Enterprise on October 18, 2016 at McClean location. I was supposed to return the vehicle today Friday 21. While I was in the phone talking to Reggie one of the employees trying to get there and drop off the vehicle, I find out that the body shop owner was given my information on the rental. I thought my rental was supposed to keep confidential, but apparently one of the employees released my information to the body shop that was handled my car repairs.
Then this employee hang off the phone on me saying that they can't take care of me because of the time. Is not too well appreciate the rudeness in leaving me on like that. I try and call over and over with no hope. Finally I went to the other location on Tuckahoe in which they were close as well, but Mr ** was courteous and received the car with no issues. I don't understand what is going on these days with people? The body shop owner later told me the employee who released my confidential information to him. That's a shame that I can't count in a big company like Enterprise to protect my interests and privacy.

I recently rented an SUV from Enterprise at Myrtle Beach Airport. I had no complaints until there was a mandatory evacuation from hurricane Matthew for South Carolina before the scheduled end of my rental. I contacted the Enterprise customer service by phone to ask how much extra it would cost if I dropped the car off at Niagara Falls NY Airport without extending the rental. I was told it would cost an extra $1,000. The following day I found out that our flight home had been canceled so we had to find another way out of South Carolina. My travel agent arranged for flights from Raleigh NC to Buffalo NY so again I contacted the Enterprise customer service by phone and asked what it would cost to drop the car at Raleigh Airport. This time I was told it would be an extra $600. I hung up the phone and called Avis and was quoted $94 plus tax etc. for a one way drop off from Myrtle Beach to Raleigh.
When I got home I contacted Enterprise by email to complain about their price gouging and they responded by telling me their policy on hurricane Matthew was to allow customer to drop off rentals at any different location at no extra charge and offered me a complimentary one day rental which was more of an insult than compensation. I wrote back and told them that I found it strange that I spoke to two different agents on two different days and neither one seemed to be aware of their hurricane Matthew policy. They responded by taking $100 off my rental bill. I did not contact them again. If their policy on hurricane Matthew was genuine which I doubt, my wife and I could have been spared a lot of stress and frustration not to mention the two extra airline tickets and the extra car rental. I very much doubt that I will ever use Enterprise again nor will I ever recommend them.

I reserved a car online on Sep 25, 2016. On 17 Oct 2016 I tried to reserve a car for 10 Nov 2016 however, the website modified my reservation instead of creating a new reservation. Tried fixing the problem online and the site would not allow me change back to my original reservation. Tried calling the Help Desk with no joy and got someone from overseas instead of talking with someone from the states. This is the last time I even try to do business with Enterprise and will recommend to my friends not to use Enterprise to include my Government Employee friends.

I have good reviews about the SOUTH BEND IN, MICHIGAN STREET BRANCH. I got a rental from them on last minute notice as my car broke down in the middle of the street. One day, after being in a shop for a transmission change and paying around 2000 dollars out of pocket for it (anyway this is a different review for another day!), the gentleman I found was so helpful, did not take too much of my time with unnecessary details as I had just returned a car a few days prior. He even went ahead and gave me an upgrade to a 2016 Toyota Avalon at the price of a compact option that I had asked for, I stayed with the car for two weeks and took it back with an equally good return experience.
Now about the EDISON BRANCH IN MISHAWAKA, INDIANA. I got a car through the Gurley Leep guys as they arranged for me to get it while they were fixing my car (the aforementioned transmission). I picked it up from the Mishawaka location. After a week, when I was taking it back, I returned it without an issue. I had my two year old son with me with and his car seat at the back of the rented car, so the manager told me they would definitely drop me to the shop (details which were clear on the paperwork as they are the ones who paid for this) so I could pick up my car.
This gentleman, by the name of CODY, comes to the rental that I had and my son is at the back and I sit at the front. As he starts the car he asks me where I need to be dropped and I tell him, "To the Gurley Leep in South bend which was 4 miles from the Mishawaka branch". He puts the car on park and tells me "Oh no, we do not do that. If you have to go to a location that is on that side you should have rented at the enterprise in South Bend, I have to go ask my manager what I should do". Lucky for me, he comes back and says the manager says we can make an exception this one time but next time we will not do that, you should rent one near that area. (# WOW)
This is the big one. One week later, 7/9/2016, my car acts up AGAIN, but I have to attend a meeting so I go back to the EDISON MISHAWAKA, IN branch and rent a red 2016 Nissan Rogue, the lady comes out with me to do the usual walk through. We look around the car for any scratches bigger than a dollar bill and dents bigger than a quarter. She is busy complimenting me on my dress, the color of my nail lacquer and I say thank you with a smile. I sign the paper and I get going.
The next day, I bring the car back, went inside the office and this guy, ADAM **, takes the key from me and he says, "I will be check on the car and I will be right back." He comes back and he tells me, "It appears that there is some DAMAGE TO THE RENTAL." I am appalled by this allegation. I asked what he was talking about and we walk outside to see the DAMAGE, so he says there are some scratches on the bottom part of the bumper, that you have to bend down to see. HUH??? I said when the lady did the walk through I can guarantee you we did not even look for scratches under there we looked at the body of the car all around but not under the car.
For all I know, the scratches were there before I took the car, and they are WELL TRAINED TO DO THE WALK THROUGH, as the manager told me and I could clearly remember the lady distracting me with compliments so we can get done with the walk through and sign to have all these used against me by intimidating since I signed the papers when getting the car and I did not indicate the alleged scratches, then they were caused by my and it would cost me 709 DOLLARS TO FIX THAT.
They have since sent me demand letters threatening to send me to a collection agency in 10 days, and mess my credit if I don't pay the said amount regardless of me having given them my insurance information to pursue their claim with. I decided to do a research on the web AND I FOUND NUMEROUS cases where Enterprise Damage Recovery was presented as aggressively shaking down drivers for returning allegedly damaged cars, even if it was not the driver's fault. One incident I may understand, but several documented incidents featuring the same pattern is HIGHLY QUESTIONABLE!
It appears that Enterprise guys have an honesty and integrity problem that they will not fix unless the affected parties do something about it. All I see at the end of the reviews is advice on not using enterprise, but this comes after they have caused damage to ENOUGH people. WE AS THE CONSUMERS HAVE TO RISE ABOVE THIS AS A UNIT and make ENTERPRISE clean up their act. most people end up looking a reviews after going through an incident with them. SO UNFORTUNATE!

My complaint is I hired a car with Enterprise Car Hire in Middlesbrough UK. On collection day I was told I cannot collect the car because of the points on my driver's license. I was due to travel the following day. I had to look for alternative car and I was told to wait for 10 to get my refund. This was on the 23rd of September 2016. I did all I was instructed if I was to get a refund. Until today Enterprise Car Hire has not refunded my money despite writing numerous e-mails seeking my refund.
I have run out of ideas whether I should go to small claims court. I am of the opinion that this company has not treated me fairly and I will never associate with and also warn other potential clients to be aware that getting your money back is not easy with Enterprise UK was indicating to me that USA was responsible for my refund. Surprise a complicated process has to be carried out for the money to be refunded. I found this ridiculous and unbelievable. I need help to recover my money from Enterprise Car Hire. The whole experience has turned into a nightmare. I am no longer sure if I will get my money.

On September 1, 2016, I rented a van from the Enterprise facility at the San Francisco airport. I agreed to pay for all the insurance coverage that was offered. Our group consisted of 7 people, family and friends attending a football game at Stanford University. While driving to our lodging, we stopped at a Safeway store to buy a 4 day supply of groceries. We were inside about 30 minutes, came outside to find a window broken out of the van and 3 pieces of luggage stolen. That was traumatic, but I assured the owners of the luggage that the insurance (a company named Sedgwick) I had purchased was going to help cover their losses. We made a police report, Enterprise replaced the van within 2 hours, and we went shopping for one of the victims. I paid $250 at Target to provide her with essentials to last the 4 days in California.
The other 2 victims had lost some electronics and articles of clothing, but they did not need immediate replacement. I made several phone calls to Enterprise, and the insurance company and felt reassured there would be some compensation for the loss. I waited until we returned home to begin the process of filing a claim. Much to my surprise, I was given a total run around. No one could answer my questions. I was referred to 8 different people, put on hold for long periods of time, and had trouble getting Enterprise to send me an incident report, which the insurance company required. I finally got a phone call at 11:00 pm from a man who figured out what I needed and promised to email it to me.
After working several days gathering 3 lists of lost items, the cost when they were purchased, the location and date when they were purchased, the replacement cost, what the victim's relationship was to the renter and getting this information notarized, I finally had gathered forms from the SF Police Dept and Enterprise and mailed them to Sedgwick. After several more days we received a phone call from the insurance company telling us the only victim who would receive any compensation for their loss was my husband. The other 2 victims were just out of luck because they were not "members of my family who resided in my home". Unfortunately, I had not stopped to read the SMALL print on the back of the rental agreement in the hurry to pick up the van at the busy airport.
My mistake... and the misfortune of the passengers who were not related to me. But I would like to warn other renters who face the decision of taking the insurance coverage that it's not worth the money. Then just last week I was part of a group who rented a 15 passenger van, again from Enterprise. This time in Derby, Kansas. The reservation had been made ahead of time, when our representative went to pick it up he was told the keys to the reserved van could not be found and a substitution was made. We had 11 senior citizens with luggage for 3 days and had to pass the bags OVER the 3rd row of seats to the back seat because there was no luggage space. After these 2 unsatisfactory experiences, I am going to look elsewhere for my next car rental.

My insurance company reserved a car for a period of time for me. I was required to provide my credit card information at the time of pickup. The car was returned a month ago and Enterprise has now started charging my personal account for rental charges although my insurance company has paid and I've paid all of said charges due at the time the rental contract ended. I tried calling the branch location in Wylie. I called 5 times. Each time someone would pick up the phone (I could hear the background noise) and then hung up the phone.
I then called the Customer Service number listed on the corporate website. The representative told me he would have to take my information and have the Regional Manager for the Wylie Texas office call me back in 48 to 72 hours (WTH). I have been using Enterprise for years for my personal and business needs. I have another reservation already made for an upcoming business trip tomorrow but once this transaction is done I will never rent from them again and will not recommend this company to anyone. They are ripping people off.

One of Enterprise's customers made an illegal lane change in an Enterprise Vehicle, resulting in Major damage to my own car (No Bodily Injury). The police report states CLEARLY that their driver was at fault hands down. This incident happened on 7/29/2016... It is now 10/11/2016. They have disregarded me and have little or no contact with me about fixing my car. Their customer stole their truck and was MIA until she hit someone else. They have been dragging their feet because they "needed" her statement. Meanwhile, I have been trying to contact them and the 3 times out of 60+ times I have tried to get them to follow the Law and fix my car, they have been rude, vague, and hurtful.
I was told yesterday that their driver (the thief) had a conflicting story to my driver and the POLICE report. Once again, they are still "investigating" it. I can't take it anymore. I'm about to have a nervous breakdown. Not to mention their estimate was a complete joke. I had to pay out of pocket to get my car fixed... I had no choice. HOWEVER, this is FAR FROM OVER.
They WILL step up to the plate and reimburse me for repairs and now for personal injury. They are borderline Criminal Now. These people have caused me to have a full blown panic attack. This is a horrible MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE. I pray that Justice is Served in this matter. I used to have respect for Enterprise. Now, I don't want anything to do with them, as a customer or a VICTIM of them. Let the Litigation Begin.

I have been renting regularly from Enterprise in my local town for the last two years. I have had numerous rentals and had a long term rental scheduled for this year. This last rental, I was asked for my insurance card which never have before, then on top of that only received one set of keys with my rental. I have complained in the past about getting two sets of key in past rentals but was told it is their policy. In addition, I used a very high-level credit card for this reservation as well. (One that you have to be very responsible to get.)
After calling my credit card to make sure all my purchases was logged, I found out there was a hold on my credit card from Enterprise Rental Car. I inquired, and it was a $200 plus dollar hold for this rental. My credit card company which I have used for past rentals just was making sure no fraud was going on. The hold was for $200 plus the cost of the rental. Thank god for them. My credit line was way more than ample.
Enterprise have put holds on my rentals before, but many times before they never did. The reason, I am upset and will never, I mean never rent from Enterprise again is due to this incident with a Assistant Manager at this location. Then asking for my insurance card and not getting two keys with my rental, which has never have happened before. Then on top of that a 200 dollar hold and the cost of rental. There is no loyalty to their customers. I have rented vehicles that I had to return to be put in another vehicle due to poor maintenance. I was satisfied, even though it took time away from me.
It takes a lot for me to register on a forum like this and complain. I hope enterprise is happy now since loyalty is what keep customers coming back in my opinion. Not this customer though. If I need a loaner due to insurance reasons or my vehicle is in the shop. I will not use Enterprise or any of its locations every again. Even if it includes walking, which I should not do for distances.
The last comment I have is I live in a Missouri where Enterprise founder started and to treat a resident of Missouri or any customer that has been loyal and no issues of non-payment or damaging their vehicles of over 10yrs like this, is the highest disrespect, I could imagine. I wish enterprise well in its future endeavors, but free rentals for a year or an apology could not even get me in the door of a Enterprise Rental Car location ever again. You have to stand for something otherwise a small business to a corporation will have no loyalty to a multiple repeating paying customer. This is just my opinion and have seen numerous great ratings and levels for Enterprise. Just letting you know about my experience and hope you never feel like I have after being a customer of theirs for over 10yrs.

My insurance set up a rental through Enterprise after a driver side swiped my vehicle and it was being appraised for a few days. They were very vague and after a long wait I was already unsatisfied. They needed a money order for deposit when my insurance was supposed to be handling the matter so I left and got the money order which was already a hassle due to my vehicle being at the shop. Then when I got there they were closing in 39 min and I was rushed to just sign here and here and at the car he asked if I wanted the insurance and I looked at him displeased so "of course I would" I said.
I had the vehicle a few days already 2016 Nissan Rogue and it kept telling me to release its parking brake which I had no clue to where its location was. The last night driving to drop the vehicle off I had to get off the interstate. I had no brakes. As I was getting off they came back so I proceed to get back onto the freeway and they give out. As the light is red with my 1 year old in the car I failed to stop hitting another vehicle with no way of stopping and they aren't doing anything to take responsibility. I wasn't provided my paperwork so the officer had trouble filing the report and now am being sought out not for a deductible but two entire vehicles. I am contacting the Attorney General for this but people need to know about the faulty vehicle and poor representative at the establishment.

We made a reservation for a rental from August 2nd to September 10th, pick up at JFK and return at Downtown Seattle. The estimated total on confirmation email was $2,083. It took a long wait time to get the car at JFK, and there was no line. The first representative we spoke to was in a hurry, probably at the end of his shift, was urging to convince us to get a bigger car as free upgrade, but we did not want a gas guzzler, as we had to drive across the country.
They initially sent us off without any papers. We were sent back to the office from the booth to get the Rental Agreement. When they finally gave us the rental agreement, we asked again where to see the total, which was $2,607, and they circled it for us at the very bottom of this paper, almost cut off. A lot of confusion must have been made due to the fact that at least 3 representatives took over our reservation while we were at the desk. We have recently found out that that day they had sent us off with a contract for only one month, instead of a month and 9 days as requested in our reservation, with the total for one month, therefore being a partial total, not the total for the whole duration of our rental.
Upon adding optionals at the counter we had asked for the total, and we were told it was $2,607. When we finally got the Rental Agreement, we asked them again, to show us where it was on this paper, as the printed information was not aligned within the spaces in the form. We even asked them if they were sure we would not be charged anything more than that. They showed it to us and circled it, at the very bottom of the paper, on the dotted line where the paper is supposed to be torn from the printer: $2,607.50.
Upon returning the car in Seattle, WA we received a receipt for only $848. We asked where the rest was, and they replied that that was all they had. We thought it was simply a delay and expected more charges and another receipt to come in the mail. A couple of days ago (today is October 7th) our bank notified us that there have been requests for three payments adding up to $3,678. Not including tolls, which is only $24.
Our point is that in order to sell us all the optionals they misled us by giving us a partial total, not the total for the whole duration of the rental. If you cannot trust a rental company to give you an honest figure, if you have to take out your own calculator and do your calculations yourself, that is not good service in our opinion.
We are currently at the 2nd email, and today, two phone calls. The first phone call, after a wait and a detailed description of the problem, resulted in the Customer Care representative giving us an Escalation Manager number. We called that number and got the same exact recording as the first time, pressed #6 again. Finally spoke to another customer care representative, explained all of the above again. She said she would expedite the request and that a Manager would contact us with an answer as soon as possible. Waiting.

I went to the Jones Ford location Enterprise rental car. The car I rented was fine. A horrible sudden tragic death happened when I had this car. Because of the circumstances I dropped the car off after hours. The people who work there blew my phone up saying I owed them money. They were mean and threatening calling myself, my family members for they said 32.00, and they were aware of the death in my family and I didn't owe anything. I will never use them again. Maybe another location but never there again. Shame on them.

TERRIBLE SERVICE. Met by bored, unconcerned attendant, dim/dark place in rental area. She walked around car, I did not, could not see car body. She presented the contract but did not gave a paper copy??? I drove to Marriott hotel in Niagara falls. Parked my car for 3 days at hotel, and it did not move. I called on Monday 13 the YYZ office 5 times (8-9 AM) got no answer. Finally pressed option to be connect to road assistance. I explained situation, assistant was gracious and helpful. Provided me with contract number and ticket number **. Wed June 15, dropped car off at Billy Bishop Airport at 11:25 AM, as agreed. Paid invoice **, I was charged for refueling, fair.
A few days later somebody claiming to be from Enterprise called and claimed the car front bumper was damaged. Did not identified himself, no name, no employee number, no location, did not give a call back phone number. On receipt given back to me there was no mention of anything being wrong with the car. It could have been anybody part of a shakedown scheme. Got a letter a few days later (6/21) about a possible car damage. There is no name, and it was not signed, no extension number. I explained that when I returned the car, there was nothing wrong with car, but something could have happened after I returned the car. He hung up abruptly. On 6/30 got another letter, again not signed, and no name, no extension number. There were several pictures of a Chevy Cruze, black car, with hard to see scratches on front bumper. There was no date and time on each picture. I found that strange.
This week I did a research on the web and there well documented cases where Enterprise Damage Recovery BU was presented as aggressively shaking down drivers for returning allegedly damaged cars, even if it was not the driver's fault. One incident I may understand, but several documented incident featuring the same pattern is looking more than a shakedown scheme than anything else. Furthermore the estimated damages (C$802) look suspiciously close to the average insurance deductible for US drivers (~ US$ 600), which a driver will have to pay before filing a claim with his insurance. Again this looks like a shakedown. The Damage recovery business unit at Enterprise has to justify its existence, but not on the back of foreign drivers. https://www.consumeraffairs.com/travel/enterprise.html. You guys have an honesty and integrity problem. You better fix it!!!
Yesterday I got a call, while driving to Tampa, from a person allegedly from Enterprise Damage recovery. As I was driving I hung up the call. Somebody called back later and I did not pick up the call, but the person did not leave a name or phone number. I did not damage the car, and you probably have to look somewhere else to find the answer. BTW, the distance from Pearson to the Marriott Niagara Falls hotel is 79.8 km, the distance from Marriott Niagara Falls to Billy Bishop Airport is 127 km, for a total of 207 km, yet on the receipt the km out is 55700 and the km in is 55743, only 43 km???? Strange.

Never rent a car from Enterprise. We rented a car in downtown Nashville Tn to go to Gatlinburg Tn. After getting my family and kids in the vehicle we headed out. After about an hour my kids said they were itching. I did not think too much about it. By the time we arrived in Gatlinburg I was itching. We were itching constantly. After the 2nd day there, I decided to head to the ER. They said we had contracted “Scabies”. I told the Doctor that my kids just had a physical prior for school from our family doctor and he would have noticed or said something. Then after thinking, that we did not start itching until after we were on the road. I realized that it was in the car we rented.
I contacted Enterprise Car Rental immediately and they switched cars with no hassle, and said they would refund me my money back and pay for my family’s medical bills. So I figured I could live with that. When I got back to Nashville that never happened! I showed the manager the medical diagnoses and he said that I can’t prove scabies came from their car. They tell you one thing, but do something different. I don’t have much money so I’m warning all of you not to rent a car from Enterprise Car Rental in Downtown Nashville unless you want “Scabies”. I'm not leaving my contact information here because I know they will try to get me or my husband fired from our jobs.

My car was damaged by Tires Plus. They agreed to pay for the damages and a rental car. We initially paid for the first 10 days of the rental and were told we would be reimbursed. On Monday, September 19, Tires Plus contacted Enterprise Rent A Car and told them they were assuming responsibility from the beginning. Mary at Enterprise told me she filled out the paperwork that same day. Enterprise has informed me that I cannot get my money back until Tires Plus pays. I think it is criminal that they are taking advantage of a senior citizen.

I just received a letter from damage recovery at Enterprise. They claimed damage on a car that never left my possession. I went from hotel to airport in another town. I have since read online this is the oldest scam around but I have never experienced it. Super crooked. What else is new? Employees probably get bonuses on it.

I rent a car from Enterprise Anchorage airport brunch, purchased extra collision and roadside assistance, got an accident on road which was told not allowed to drive after I got an accident. People answered my calls made promises but was denied afterwards, and charge me directly without telling me for what nor asking for my authorization. I planned to drive the Dalton Hwy., which seems to be forbidden by the contract (I learnt this after the accident). I mentioned i planned to go to north of Fairbanks, no one said no, nothing shows on contract, agent gave me a voucher on my demand and said nothing about it.
After I got the accident, I called local brunch three times and got different replies. 1st time said roadside assistance are not responsible for accident on Dalton Highway (which on the voucher nobody mentioned it), but as long as I drive the car back the collision will pay for the damage. 2nd time said call the road assistance and after clearly explain my situation, road assistance told me to keep the tire receipt for reimbursement. I checked again and yes just drop the receipt when return the car. 3rd time said when I return the car with the receipt together.
And when I returned the car, the manager just denied everything. He said he is the one in charge and all other replies were invalid without his permission. This is the first time I met him, the impression he gave me was of no patience, and won't listen. He said roadside assistance will not reimburse even they promised to do so because they don't know the situation here and only he can reply for that. He called the voucher a contract, and said the first agent who answered me is a manager while others are assistants so I should only listen to the first agent. But nobody said anything about this. Later the day I returned the car, I was charged another 500 dollars without knowing what it is and of cause without my authorization.

I would love to take this opportunity to give a little insight into the hell your company has been causing me over the last several months, and the unsavory business practices your claims department seems to be utilizing. After being forced into "renting" one of your vehicles due to a Ford Recall (mind you Ford is covering) since February... I have been in a constant back and forth with your claims department. Upon returning a vehicle for another on June 14, 2016, I was told that the chip that was in the windshield would have to be paid for... Ironically the replacement vehicle that I was given had 3 chips in the windshield, but when pointed out to the gentleman at the counter, I was told that since they were less than the size of a quarter it didn't need to be noted on the agreement (I'll get back to that in a minute... since one of the chips I was told not to worry about has actually caused a crack across the whole windshield)...
The gentleman at the counter also informed me that the vehicle I was returning would need to be detailed since there was evidence of a dog being in there. He said it should have been noted that no animals are allowed in the vehicles. I informed the gentleman that I never had a contract that the rental was done thru the dealership that was handling my repair, and that I was NEVER told that I was not allowed to use the vehicle for what its intended purpose was and that was replacing my FAMILY VEHICLE which had been taken away from me from FORD. Oh and BTW I was given a vehicle with EXPIRED TABS and get pulled over the next day!!!
Enterprise then told me that they would need to put a hold of $500 on a credit card while they worked up an estimate on the cost of the repair. I was reassured that the hold was going to be very temporary, and it would only be used to cover the repair, if at the time when the estimate came back it was deemed cheaper than making a claim on my insurance. Fast forward to beginning of July when the hold put on my CC shows an amount of $506. I contact Enterprise (not an easy task btw... I was redirected about a dozen times before someone could "help me". Enterprise does not make the Phone # readily available if you are a customer) as I had not received any documentation or estimate on the cost of the repair.
I was assured it was coming... 2 weeks later July 13th same conversation, same $506 still being held on my CC. I was told that day that they would elevate my claim because the woman I spoke with sympathized and told me that I should have something soon and that I deserve my money back. August several calls no amount given for damage, no report or estimate. At this time Enterprise is STILL holding on to $406 of MY MONEY THAT IS ACCRUING INTEREST with my CC!!! THEY CHARGED ME $100 CLEANING FEE!
September 13, 2016 I call again and reach a woman who seems dumbfounded at the issue that I'm having, like this is not the norm for doing business with Enterprise (BBB Reviews would show otherwise)... I was given reassurance that the money due to me would be credited immediately and that I should have a check in the mail in 5-7 business days. Although she could not give me an amount as she said she didn't have access to see what that amount was, I would definitely have something very soon. September 23, 2016... still no refund. I call again, this time the lady reassured me that no in fact the money would just go back on my CC and that she requested a refund, as the system had no record of showing that request be made.
I was finally told that the "Cost" of this chip was going to be $130+ dollars, but that Enterprise was adding on an additional admin fee to bring the total up to $190+ and that I was going to be refunded $202 dollars of the $406 being held. Mind you I have never received an estimate... I was never given the opportunity to decide whether or not to use my insurance for this repair... Which knowing that Enterprise ended up charging me $190+ to fix. You bet you ass I would have since my glass deductible isn't that much. But I was also told that my refund could only be processed if I agreed to the Admin fee that was imposed. She said that she did not have the authority to refund the Admin fees, but I could take that up with someone else other than her.
Seeing as I want my $ I agreed to the refund and was told that it would go directly back on the card in which it was charged by the end of the day (Friday), Monday at the latest. Surprise surprise... here it is Tuesday, and no refund. I call again. This time I was told that the department requesting the refund does not have access to CC information and that a paper check will be sent, and that although it was requested on 09/23/16 that it'll take at LEAST TWO WEEKS FOR MY REFUND TO BE MAILED TO ME!!!
What the hell kind of operation are you running here? How can you so blatantly employ business practices that are unethical and shady as hell. I have NEVER in my life had such a horrible experience with any company across all industries. I will adamantly share my experience with anyone and everyone. This will go as a complaint with the BBB and will be taken up with any other organization I find that will listen. Shame on you. I'm sure I could find many others that have shared experiences that would happily join in an effort to make sure this doesn't happen again to anyone.

I have been using enterprise for 4 years now, but the treatment I got on 09/24/2016 is the worst I have ever experienced from a car rental service or any service at all in America. I came in at 2:00pm at the enterprise local shop in 1811 S. Texas Ave Bryan, TX 77802 to pick a scheduled rental I have set up earlier that day. I was called up by a ** lady at the enterprise counter and asked how I could be helped. I explained that I had a reservation and then she asked for my driver's license, credit card and car insurance. I gave her the docs. My credit card was declined and all of a sudden this lady started making strange and mockery gestures towards me and taunting that my card was declined. I found this very unprofessional and humiliating but kept my composure and kindly asked what other forms of payment do they accept? She just said "card" without giving me any further detail.
I pulled out my debit card and gave it to her and then she said she needs "proof of bill payment" and then gave her my cable bill payment in my name, then she started calling suddenlink to confirm if I am a resident at my address and if I have any outstanding balance on my cable bill. I found this very insulting, embarrassing and felt as if I have been profiled. After confirming my suddenlink bill and balance, they asked for proof of my employment pay stub which I gave them. The lady asked for my work ID and I showed my Texas A&M student ID I use at work. It took them almost 40 mins before they decided to release the key for the car rental after, frustrating and embarrassing me there in front of other clients.
Out of curiosity, I asked the ** lady at the enterprise counter why would she ask for proof of bill payment from me if I have given her proof of my car insurance in my name and address and she couldnt answer my question. I was given the car rental, but the whole experience at the enterprise counter and the ** lady was very awkward, humiliating and embarrassing. Treating a customer that has been using enterprise service for 4 years now this way I think is very bad. I will be grateful if enterprise management can look into this incident and resolve this so that future experience like this will not repeat itself. I had to collect the car feeling so maltreated, insulted and had wasted a lot of time unnecessarily.

Our car broke down in Shrewsbury, went on the Enterprise website to look at small vans to hire which the site said were available to hire and collect today. Just to check we phoned them direct and they said "no, we don't have any vans available for hire?" We settled on a large hatchback. We took out all the extra insurances they said we should have including accidental damage cover. The salesman explained about damaged areas on the car that already existed so my wife started taking pictures on her phone of theses areas. The salesman intercepted and said there was no need to take pictures as these areas are already noted and we won't be responsible for these areas.
We used the car for 4 days, only light travel, and always parked off road. On returning the car we were told all these damaged areas are our responsibility and we would lose our excess. We explained what the rep said and the woman said he didn't really work for them and we couldn't speak to him? We now have ** automatically charged another 100. THIS PRACTICE IS ALL TOO COMMON AT ENTERPRISE. Will definitely NOT use them again and will advise others not to. AVOID!!!

We had an E-ZPass transponder that was malfunctioning. I called E-ZPass and they said that they could see that we had a malfunctioning transponder situation and would reverse the extra charges associated with the malfunction. However, they said the request had to come from Enterprise because the charge was from the toll authority to Enterprise, not to us. Enterprise refused to contact E-ZPass. They said the dispute was between us and E-ZPass and it was "against corporate policy" to get involved. I then suggested that since we had spent more than $3,000 with Enterprise over the past year, that perhaps they could just absorb the $12 charge themselves. No, rather than keep a multi thousand dollar customer satisfied, they wanted to collect the $12 additional. Needless to say I will never rent from Enterprise again.

Well, I left work and went home at 8:30 pm parked in my garage then noticed a scratch and dent near the rear of the vehicle.
I contact the Enterprise about the car and I was told I would have to pay for the damage. I told them no because damage was there before I got it. I told them I have extra insurance from them and it was suppose to cover. They told me I didn't have extra cover, so I told them that their employee drop off the vehicle no walk through and I told him make sure add the extra insurance. He said okay, but I trusted to take care of me and I was wrong. When someone you don't a walk through be careful because they may have damage the vehicle and try to blame it on you. Plus make sure it to go over the document with care or you will be taken for $600. Plus the girl was rude and disrespectful to their customer, I will never rent from again. I will go to someone who respect their customer and do their right not do half job.

Well I needed to rent a car so I went to the Orlando International Airport and found Enterprise Rental Car which apparently was having a really good deal of $189 for a whole week. Upon my rental I was charged a 20% of the rental amount as a deposit, total came up to $226.82. In my way out I was charged $155.75 for insurance for the whole week so the total amount was $382.57. When I came back they gave me a receipt saying the total amount for my rental was $375.32.
When I ask the lady if they going to deposit the 20% back she answered that the difference between $382.57 and $375.75 was the 20% that I would be receiving back, obviously I had to laugh in her face and call customer service. I had to speak to 5 different people until one of them had the courage to tell me that yes I was charged $226.82 for the rental including the 20% but when I took the insurance in my way out they took the deposit and put it towards the $155.75 to cover the whole week so my whole total would be $450 but since they used my 20% deposit that's why they were charging me $375.75. Now I don't possibly see any logic explanation to this but what I do know is that this company is ** and that I'm going to post this review in any possible review page so everybody can see how this people are thieves with their customers.

Originally we rented the vehicle due to a hit and run from the Mall of Georgia Enterprise at Toyota AutoNation. Usually our experiences here are pretty pleasant. Unfortunately when it was time to return the vehicle and grab mine we were instructed to drop the vehicle off with the receptionist at AutoNation along with the key and they would send someone from Enterprise to pick it up. Which was basically the same building. Well of course the next morning we got a call and the vehicle is surprisingly damaged and of course it was our fault. They proceeded to tell me how the vehicle wasn't picked up until almost 19 hours after I dropped the vehicle off. They also mentioned that it was no way for them to pull the tapes because the area my vehicle was in there was none. I know and my husband knows that it was no damage on the vehicle when it was dropped off but it was no way to prove it.
So we proceed to comply and to just take it through the insurance AGAIN and pay the deductible. It's been almost 4 months and as of today Enterprise claims division has called us over 10 times asking for a payment that we dropped off ourselves personally to the Enterprise office. Every time they called it seemed as if they wanted us to just pay again without trying to figure out what THEY did with the payment. We even went to the office. Spoke with the manager and he said they hadn't turned it in yet?? And they refused to call the Mall of Georgia Enterprise to get this figured out.
As the customer we feel as if someone is not handling our money correctly or we're being ripped off. For someone to call you repeatedly and state they are with a company but call unavailable on several different of our numbers, asking for a payment that we had receipts from and we spoke to a manager at the branch about, is very alarming. The bank reported the check was cashed and yet no one saw the records. To make a long difficult story short we are STILL waiting for a resolution. Legal action will be taken if the harassing calls don't stop for money that has been sent in and cashed. It's not comforting to the customer to have your employees calling about a payment you guys need to find amongst yourselves.

She also said that they CANNOT CHARGE YOU FOR ANY DAMAGE to the vehicle, scratch or dent if it is smaller than the size of a Dollar Bill...

I was then told by another representative that they are "not allowed to go into the University area (Charlotte)." Later I spoke with another male "Jamie" who scheduled the pick-up. The online reservation was scheduled for 10:00 on Wed., 8/10 with a Saturday return at 10:00 a.m. The online information showed a noon close time on Saturday so "Jamie" changed the pick-up and return to 2:30 p.m. after stating the branch was open until 4pm on Saturday but never mentioned any issue with a return ride.
8/10/16 - The ** male who picked me up got out of the car, opened my screen door and started rubbing the inside of the latch. As with previous rides, the GPS, if there was any, was not left on and he claimed not to know how to get back to the rental location. He changed lanes in an intersection after seeing a police officer on the left (Mallard Creek Church Rd).
8/13/16 - Conflicting with what I was told earlier, both the proof of income and the utility bill was asked for at the counter. It is a concern in part because this is not only time consuming but also a security concern whenever personal information is given unnecessarily - especially with this group. When I have provided information in the past, they have done nothing with it or hurriedly copied a front or back page.
My insurance agent was contacted by phone to verify that the coverage included "loss of use." This requirement was never mentioned for this rental or either of the prior two. What if the insurance office was closed or unable to be reached? When asking about the "after the fact" requirement, I was told by two female representatives that "it would be ok" with one responding that "they had been audited." The car I was given was the same driven to pick me up. Brianna, who handled the reservation inside, got into the passenger side of the vehicle to check the mileage and, despite all the time verifying the full coverage information, asked me which coverage I wished to purchase.
8/13 - During the on-time return I was chided for how many miles I used (nothing unreasonable). When asked about the service I received, I stated that I had a list of concerns that I would be discussing with the company. I told the representative that I would be waiting for my ride, and he responded that there was no one available for a return ride this weekend. I had no choice but to walk to access transportation and it was over seven miles in the sun.

I further asked why the girl on the phone didn't have the information to tell me all this on the phone. My son said I will bring it up... and the attendant just looked at me. I said this will take a while... My son is a paraplegic and it will take time for him to get to his car, get in and drive here from Odessa and then get out and come in here.
At that point your attendant looked at me and said, "I don't like your attitude so I am NOT going to rent a car to you". I walked away furious!!

Enterprise Sherman Texas... I leased a car from them while my truck was being repaired. Reserved the rental online. When I picked up the car they tried to charge me more than it was suppose to be. Get that straight then they try to push their insurance costs on me... I have decent insurance, so I declined theirs... Take the car for 3 days. It has trash and water bottles under the seats so I clean the car up first thing after getting it home. I leased this car (2015 Toyota Corolla) for 3 days.
Upon returning the car I tell them it's missing and that I researched purchasing a new one on line.
I found several places to purchase one ranging in prices from 20.00 to 40.00... I checked with a place in CA called Hubcaps.com. They have a special little video on there not showing where these particular cars are bad about losing hub caps. I note on my phone the places I found them with prices. First thing they want to do is file against my insurance that's gonna cost me a 200.00 deductible. I said NO. I will pay for a new hubcap but it's gotta be a reasonable price. I personally didn't feel the hubcap should have come off. Maybe it was defected. One guy there makes several calls around town to find one but no-one has one.
I went out to take pictures of the car and it was then that I noticed the car had no current registration. No Tx sticker on the window... But it had a CA plate so I look at both front and back plates and note it expired in July 2016. I leased on Labor Day weekend Sept 2016 so I go back in and tell them the car was not even legal to be drive. They try to tell me it's ok cause it a CA plate. I look up the CA laws that states clearly the tags must display current registered dates. I argue till finally they let me order the hub cap which I tried to get next day but took was 3 days. Before I realized the registration was out I offered to keep the car And pay daily till I had the hub cap so they wouldn't lose money on leasing it yet they tell me "NO we can't lease a damaged car." It's A Hub Cap... They go on like it's major collision damage or something.
I get the new hub cap and take it straight to them and then they tell me that I Will be charged for the three days it didnt have a hub cap. No I tell them I will not pay cause I offered to lease the car and pay till the part was here and No also because the car was never Legal to be driven anyway with Not having a proper registration. I told them if anything is charged against my credit card then I would sue and make them reimburse me for the days I had the car that wasn't legal to drive and A step further maybe they should reimburse every person that has leased that car back to July when the registration was good. I will walk before I Ever Go Back To Enterprise Again...

I went to rent a car and I went to the Arnold location in Missouri and there was three gentlemen there. 15 minutes before it closed the insurance company gave me a reservation number. Told me what cars were available when I got there. They were less than customer service oriented. At one point they told me that they would not rent me a car. They actually told me to get into my car and leave. I am going to another location but I will never ever go to this location again. The customer service is very unprofessional and I believe because I am a woman they were very sexist. At no time did they treat me with respect or wanted to rent me a car and I think everyone should know the especially women. I also believe but they have not had jobs very long and know nothing about customer service.

The one star rating is too much and it needs to be half of a star rating. I had made a reservation to rent a car for me and my family to drive to the beach. This happened at a Greensboro, NC location. When I arrived there the clerk asked me was I paying by debit or credit card. When I told her debit she said ok but they were going to need 2 utility bills that are not in disconnect status along with my proof of insurance. What!? Since when do you have to provide utility bills just to rent a car? I had asked her would I need the bills if I was paying by credit card and she told me "no". There was another customer in there who was also showing them her utility bills but being that the bills were disconnect notices she was told that they would need to call to verify that the bill was paid in full! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!
Since when does having a credit card defines a person financial status? I told the clerk never mind to please cancel my reservation because Enterprise policies are just crazy. I told the clerk that I have 2 credit cards but I refuse to give it to Enterprise. They have lost my business FOREVER! I will be going to Budget Rental or Avis from now on!!!

I was rear ended and the insurance company had me go to this enterprise location for my rental while my car was being repaired - biggest NIGHTMARE EVER - car rentals should not be this complicated. Travis was great - he was the original rep I had but a few days into my car rental I received a call to go exchange the vehicle for a larger mid size sedan because they were supposed to provide me with a car that was same size as mine but because they didn't have any at the time they had provided me with a smaller compact VW beetle.
Unfortunately, my rental took place about 2 weeks after the hail storms had hit and Travis did not document the 3 small hail dents that were on the VW beetle originally so when I returned the vehicle, a very rude rep - Lamiya - assisted me and began aggressively telling me to pay up for the hail damage. I argued that I did not have the car during any hail storms (I had only had it 4 days on top of that and there weren't even any dry rain marks on the car. It was still very clean) and she walked away into the store and called to file a claim against me for which she made up a date and time for and informed me of after the fact - I declined signing anything that would show I accept responsibility for her bogus claim against me. I ended up going back to deal with Travis for obtaining the mid size car instead after going through that headache and again he was much friendlier and the opposite of Lamiya.
Four months have passed and I received a letter out of the blue asking me to pay Enterprise $2350 for hail damage that went from 3 dents to several more (mind you they had the car in their possession since 05.26 and didn't have it evaluated until 06.03 which was 1 day after an actual hail storm took place on 06.02 and their cars are not kept covered so new hail damage occurred and they are trying to gain their profit off of me so they don't lose out). I now have a new issue to address with this company and will fight it all the way even if I need to get an attorney - I have hourly weather reports for the days I had the first vehicle which show no hail in addition to pics of the vehicle itself from the moment I drove it off their lot where you can see the dents.
I suppose if it wasn't for the crappy experience I had with Lamiya, I would have given better ratings for Travis. However, I now have this awful, complicated situation to deal with all because some other careless driver rear ended me and I needed a rental car temporarily which unfortunately led me here. If I were actually responsible for the damage then I would file it through my insurance to pay however, I know that this is definitely not my responsibility and I will not be taken advantage of and Lamiya needs to learn customer service etiquette.

The most AWFUL experience in my life! Got hit by FedEx truck and got car on Broadside-Memphis expenses (or that's what I thought!). Fred from Enterprise Glenwood Springs, CO sold me Damage Waiver without mentioning that is optimal and charged my card without notice on Friday afternoon which will put my balance negative over weekend and cost me a bank fee. On top was I being charged if I didn't find out about it by chance!
I went to Enterprise to ask my money back and was given lame excuses about Insurance approvals and so I might get my money back "someday". I went to the bank and banker called Fred back on my behalf. Fred admit that he charged card without calling me first and made remark about "language barrier" which I find offensive and not true. After banker said that they will stop charge, he snapped (and I quote), "I WILL RIPPED HER (me) OUT OF THE CAR!!!" and hang up!
I think it's not fair to me, as a customer, being caught between Insurance and Enterprise charges, especially being single parent on a budget and most of all being treated like this. NEVER AGAIN I will have a business with Enterprise and will warn as many people as I can so they avoid terrible experience and empty bank accounts! Will get my car soon and terrified to deal with Enterprise people again!!!

We rented a car from Enterprise at Denver Airport. I expected it to be difficult, timely and was a little worried about the quality of car we would receive. When we walked in, all of the staff was highly professional, friendly and helpful. The gal that assisted us was very friendly, worked quickly and we were in our car within about 5 minutes of arriving at the office. We were given a free upgrade and absolutely loved the car we were in for the week.
Upon returning the car, again, we were very pleasantly surprised. It was about 7:30 am and I expected they would be very busy with returns. We pulled right in and were basically all done by the time we were able to unload our luggage. It was a seamless and simple process that stripped away some of the "normal" stress of travel. I could not have been happier with my experience with Enterprise!

I got a serious accident by getting hit from a truck somewhere close to i5 northbound after coming out from a gas station, and I was forced to rent a vehicle from Enterprise in a small town there. Since a van was the only vehicle they could provide me at that time, I took the van right away and continued my journey to San Francisco. Honestly, the inside of the van was extremely dirty, but with the sincere apology from the lady who works for Enterprise, I tried my best to ignore this problem. Moreover, the van was really too big to me and I felt tired of driving in a van, so I took the van to the branch of SFO and required for a switch out. I talked to the manager there, and once she noticed that I wanted to do the switching out, she immediately showing me her unhappy face. I was paying the full-sized price and so was expecting to get some other normal vehicle with basic functions like USB connector or Bluetooth.
However, the female Asian manager went out to the parking lot and specifically picked an old car for me. It was an old Chevy from around 2001 to 2003 (I'm curious that why they are still keeping old cars) without any USB connector or Bluetooth, and once again told me that it was the only vehicle they could provide me. I have told her that I did not mind paying a higher rent and got a newer vehicle as I might need it for driving a long distance to other city. Without USB connector means that I could not charge my phone which I always used it as a GPS. In addition, when I got back to the van and prepared to pack my things and put them into the old Chevy, the manager was also in the van. I asked her if I could get my things back for just being polite. She reluctantly said yes and smiled and threw the key into the van angrily. I do not understand what made her so angry.
My phone was really running out of battery, and I hardly got back to the hotel that night. I could not bear such an old car. I returned them the car the next day and ended the contract. I really do not understand what's wrong with this manager. She chuckled with her colleague when I turned back and stepped out the office booth. Furthermore, I found out that she charged me for an extra 300 dollar from my credit card account. That was a horrible experience from the SFO branch. I will never recommend any of my friends to rent a car from Enterprise when they get to San Francisco.

I rented a car in Bristol, England, on June 4 and kept it for 5 days. While driving, I hit something in the road and the tire blew. I called Enterprise and spoke with the rental agent who rented it to me and she said "Oh Good. That's covered." I interpreted that to mean it was a road hazard issue that they would cover. If they had said it was my responsibility, I would have shopped around for a good price to replace the tire. I was charged about $300 for a $100 tire. Enterprise had even given me back my full deposit, so I thought all was good. Let me repeat: Enterprise had even given me back my full deposit, so I thought all was good.
Weeks later, in comes the hits to my card for their pricey tire. If I was paying for it, why didn't the garage give me the bill? Because "It was covered." But they didn't stop there. They hit my card for a Loss of Use fee that when they realized was invalid because I was still paying for the car, they changed it for an Admin charge in the same amount. Could they be any more disreputable? Finally, because I went 39 through a 30 mph zone, it generated a notice. The notice price was zero, but Enterprise hit my card for another $50 admin fee. I realize this complaint is just one of millions against these people, but it needed to be written. I suggest you use only public transport and if that isn't available, don't go there. There is really no way to come out ahead with a rental company.

Enterprise is a national company with so many different policies that one cannot keep up and this is how they get you. I reserved a car via Expedia for 22 a day...alas, who knew this was just for the weekend. It then went up to 45 dollars a day. Also, it said I could return it by 6...no charged for that day too! I rented this way before and it was all different. Last time I was not charged for the day I returned because it was within hours of the time listed and the rate was the same. I also returned it near me so I could get a ride home which is what I did last time. Well, this time I rented via Expedia again but the pick up was at the airport. The policies are different from place to place so you have to read everything all the time I found out. I picked it up at the airport where the woman was so damn rude and showed me nothing about the car which had a push start (didn't know how) I had to flag someone down to help me figure out the car.
She said nothing about policies and procedures either. Came home on a Monday, I kept car till wed and got charged 3 days extra and charged me a full tank (returned 3/4 which it was when I got it) 3 full days for more than double what I thought and a pick up fee (which is specific apparently for the airport). The service person started saying right off bat I could not drop car off (I did ask about this on the main number which they did not specify airport and they said I could like last time for free). She called and spoke with someone and very matter-of-factly called out every thing I did not know that I was getting charged for. I guess I was supposed to be ecstatic that I was being charged an extra 170. I was very angry and instead of trying to calm me down she had the tough ** facial/attitude.
The lady on phone waived the pick-up fee (how sweet) but that was it. I understand not her fault but clearly I thought I knew enough having rented before. She could have been a bit more sympathetic and helpful. I was angry but there is a way to make people feel better about being gouged and hers was not it. Then I said that one of the guys would have to drive me back and then the driver jumped up got in my face and said I would have to walk home because I snatched the pen (?) out of this gal's hand.

I live in New York and I'm part of a bridal party for my friend. We decided to have a bachelorette party for the bride in Florida. We traveled from New York to Florida on 8/4/16 and rented a 2016 Black Chrysler Town and Country minivan from Enterprise at Daytona Beach International Airport. The minivan we received smelled of cigarette smoke and had cigarette ashes all over the car. After having an early morning flight and being exhausted, we did not make a big deal of this and decided not to issue a complaint. We didn't want this to ruin our first day in Florida and take up more of our short time there. On 8/6/16, (the night before our return flight) around 11 pm, we were driving back to Hammock Beach Resort in Palm Coast from Universal Studios. I was driving northbound on interstate 95 when I saw an object fly into the grill of the rental car.
I pulled over and noticed a metal object had pierced through the grill and radiator which was leaking coolant causing the car to smoke up. A witness had seen a single car accident occur on the southbound side of the interstate. This car had hit the guard rail and debris from that car flew into our rental car. I quickly googled a number for enterprise in Florida. The first number I called had option number 3 for emergency services, however once pressing 3 the automated system said that the service is unavailable. My friend found another phone number to call and I was able to get through to a representative. The representative set the vehicle up with a tow company. I asked her how we can get a ride back to the resort and she told me to speak to the tow company about it. I ended the call because the police officer needed information for the police report.
Shortly after I called back and spoke to another woman named Messina about being set up with another rental vehicle since I had reserved the vehicle till 8/7/16 11 am (time of our return flight to NY). She told me since it was after hours she would not be able to set me up with another vehicle. She went on to tell me to save the receipts of the cab rides since Enterprise was supposed to provide me with a rental vehicle till the morning of 8/7/16. She told me to bring the receipts to the Enterprise desk at the airport. The police officer on scene was nice enough to call a cab for us since we were unfamiliar with the area. We took the cab back to the resort and I made sure to save the receipt. The next morning we had to take another cab to the airport since we still did not have a rental.
I brought both the receipts to Enterprise at the airport and spoke to a manager named Brian who said "I don't know why they told you that because we don't reimburse for cabs" and he decided to give me half of the total cost of $164 as a courtesy. I was extremely upset with the entire experience. Enterprise was very quick in getting a tow truck for their vehicle and collecting the insurance deductible, but left their customers, who happened to be seven girls who were unfamiliar with the area, stranded in the middle of an interstate with no ride and then refused to fully reimburse for taxi service. I wanted to resolve the issue while in Florida however, I had to catch a flight back home.
Once arriving back in New York, I called Enterprise back in Daytona Beach and spoke to the manager Brian again. I told him I wanted to speak to his supervisor in regards to getting the rest of the money reimbursed. He went on to tell me that his manager named Tessanya (I'm not too sure of the spelling) wasn't in the office and that she would call me back sometime that day or the next. I then asked for the phone number of corporate, which he gave me, but then proceeded to say "I'm going to call my manager right now, give her an hour to call you back before you call corporate". An hour and a half passed without any call back so I called the number he had given me for corporate which was the number for Enterprise headquarters in Florida. I spoke to Carolyn who told me she was sorry that happened and that a manager would call me back that day.
Two days passed and I still didn't receive a call from the manager. I called back to the headquarters and spoke to Carolyn again who said, "they should've called you back", she went on to confirm my phone number and said she would get in contact with the manager right away. I didn't receive any calls for the rest of the day. The next day, I googled a number for Enterprise Corporate and spoke to a woman named Issaca who finally decided to refund $82. For a big corporation like Enterprise that is supposedly the largest rental car service in the world, $164 shouldn't have been an issue to reimburse. Having to go through all of that just to be reimbursed for taxi fares in unacceptable, especially when Enterprise should have been responsible for it in the first place. It has been ten days now since the incident occurred and I have yet to receive any follow up phone calls from any of the Enterprise managers in Florida.
I have been renting cars from Enterprise in New York for many years. This is the first time I have had a bad experience with the company. The customer service I received in Florida was appalling both from Daytona Beach Airport manager and even the Florida headquarters. I was given the run around for several days with no call backs whatsoever and no resolution to my problem. It seems that all they are concerned about are their vehicles and not their customers. They were great about sending a tow truck for their vehicle and collecting the insurance deductible, but left their customers stranded in a time of need and refused to reimburse the customer for taxi fares which they should have been responsible for.
Paying for taxi fares when being unable to provide the customer with another rental vehicle should be a responsibility of the company and not a courtesy especially when the accident was clearly a no fault case due to unfortunate circumstances. Or they should have rental cars readily available 24 hours for situations such as this one. My friends and I were extremely upset with the whole situation. We were amazed at how friendly and generous Floridians were during our trip, however, our experience with Enterprise in Florida was shockingly atrocious and ruined our trip.
I will never be renting from Enterprise again but I am hoping that a resolution will be made so that future customers will not have to go through what I did in situations like this and that management will be reeducated on how to provide appropriate customer service. I also hope that I will have no further issues with the insurance claim for the rental vehicle since the other insurance company has accepted liability and that I will be reimbursed my insurance deductible of $500 as soon as possible. Please think twice before renting from Enterprise in Florida. They do not care for the safety of their customers and provide horrible service.

I have been a loyal Enterprise customer for the last 23 years and have never rented a vehicle from anywhere else during that time. I have never had a problem with Enterprise until Saturday, August 13, 2016. I picked up a minivan at the Pierson Road Enterprise in Flint, MI. It was a delightful experience. They picked me up from my office and drove me to theirs. I rented the van with no problem and everyone was polite. I was told that there would be no problem when I dropped the van off in another state, as this was a one-way rental, getting them to drive me where I needed to go. Well, there was.
When I showed up at the McCarty Lane Enterprise office in Lafayette, IN, to drop off the van, I was told I could not have a ride back to my location because it was in West Lafayette, across the river, a distance of six miles. I was told that if I wanted to go to a West Lafayette address, I should have rented from the West Lafayette office, which is located at the airport and closes at noon on Saturday, so that was not an option for me. I was told I would have to get my own ride back. I was told there was a city bus I could take. I was told they would call an Uber for me. I was told they were too busy to drive me back. It was only when I asked for a manager and waited over 30 minutes that I got a ride. The driver was pleasant. But everyone else was rude. If they had said to me, "We're really busy, can you wait a while?" I would have been okay with that.
If you advertise and promote your company as being different from all others because you will pick me up and drop me off, then you had better do that. Because if you don't, then you are just the same as all the other car rental companies, which is why I have chosen not to rent from them. You are either different or you are not. People at the McCarty Lane office should be ashamed of themselves. This is not how Enterprise presents itself. I recommend that people think twice about doing any business with this location.

I am an Enterprise member and whenever I need a car I rent from them because it is a good company. I don't know what happened this time. I was in San Antonio TX and reserved a car from Enterprise by phone and received the confirmation. I called for a ride to the office. They said all their drivers are occupied. I couldn't wait for a possible ride because I had an important meeting. I took a cab and headed to the branch. I was really shocked when the employee at the counter told me they don't have any cars for rent. I showed him the confirmation but it didn't help. He told me they can't help me. What a service. I lost my important appointment and ended up taking another cab to the hotel. Sorry Enterprise ended like that. I wish they coordinate between branches and operators.

I went to Enterprise for a rental car as our truck was in the dealer shop for repair. First the dealership contacted Enterprise to pick me up. As soon as my paperwork was done at the dealer, I turned around the Enterprise driver was there waiting on ME! Talk about customer service. He took me to their location and I explained I had a truck in the dealer shop. The agent was around 6-foot tall. I told her that my husband was about to have knee surgery, so I needed a vehicle that would accommodate a straight leg on an over 6-foot male. She brought 4-5 cars up for me to look at. Each car she got out and sat in the passenger seat. We'd agree if the car would have enough room. If not, she would retrieve another car. She was awesome! The last car she brought up was brand new, had 3 miles on it, and it passed our requirements. I was so pleased with their service. I will go back to Chapman Road, Chattanooga, TN anytime I need a rental.

Enterprise in Benton Harbor Michigan sucks!! We had reservations for 2 months. We were coming in from Oregon when we got to the business. They said "We have no cars." This was 11am. They said "Can you hang out until 5 or 6 and maybe a car will be returned." After a few choice words they said "We can put you in a Jeep Cherokee." I said ok. Our reservation was for a midsize car for one week for $225. They said we can rent the jeep for $678 and it's higher because it's on short notice. I left, went to Avis, had a car in 15 minutes for one week for $180. I will never go to Enterprise again and I will tell everyone about my ** experience...

I was in an accident in June so I had to get a rental car while my car was being repaired. I never rented a car on my own before, but I thought I had an idea of what I was doing. Maureen went over the details of getting the car. She was very nice and asked if I wanted to use my own insurance or "the cheaper option," Enterprise insurance, only $22.50 a day... Not knowing what I was getting myself into I got the Enterprise insurance. And I could have sworn I was told I wouldn't have to pay anything once they got the car back. You can see where this is headed...
I was told my car repairs would take around 2 weeks. They didn't and I was leaving the country for 3 weeks. I didn't notify Enterprise of this because I wasn't aware I had to pay for anything once my car was back. 43 days it took the collision place to repair my car. My mom had to return my rental for me only when she could get my other car back. So I receive a call the day after my car is returned, but it went to voicemail, which I didn't check until I returned home. I was told I had to pay $813.54 for the rental insurance. Over $800 for RENTAL INSURANCE!!! That's the cheaper option? ** that! And I can't dispute it because "I signed for it" (unknowingly). Lesson learned, NEVER GET ENTERPRISE INSURANCE! I may have messed up, but you shouldn't have to.

Had a dreadful experience with a competing car company around the corner at LAX where we had a reservation. Arrived to a long line of people with far too few cars to service all those waiting. Without a reservation Enterprise quickly put us in a clean good car and we were on our way with directions in less than 30 minutes. It was remarkable how efficient and incredibly friendly the process and staff were. Competitively priced. Easy to return the car as well. LAX Enterprise folks rock!!!

I would leave zero stars if I could. I had to return a car because it was heavily chain smoked in. When I received the car all windows were open. The following day it was obvious the car could not be kept. The Assistant Manager (Ricky) could not have been more rude or inconvenienced in the exchange. She could not even say she was sorry for the inconvenience or condition of the car. She could say "pick your next car right because we won't exchange another one...." She went so far to complain about me to other customers (I was too picky) to the point one customer came out to say "she sure does not like you...." She would not document all the damage on the car and said "...we don't trust customers."
Based on other reviews, this is not her first customer complaint so unfortunately she is consistent. When I asked to speak to the manager she said "sure go ahead, but he is fine with how I treated you." I spoke to Howard (the manager) who was very polite and said he would speak with her but left me with the impression there was little he could do. I later contacted Enterprise on Hudson Drive, and they said if I had ANY car issues, bring it to them and they will make it right. That is customer service. The issue will be escalated to the divisional level, but Ricky seems quite confident she is untouchable. Do not use this Enterprise branch... their cars are dirty and they won't pick you up anyway. Go to Hudson drive if you have to use Enterprise.

I recently got into a car accident where I needed to rent a car to get around, to work. I drove the car for about 2.5 weeks and put no more than 25 miles on the car. I returned the car after my car was all set from the shop, only so the rep at Enterprise can point out a surface bump on the body. I swore up and down that I had no idea how that happened! The rep then told me that since this bump was not documented by one of their reps when the other renter brought it back, I will be liable for the damage. I yelped because I told him that Enterprise did not have enough time to go through the car and look for damage when the other renter brought it back so that I could use it. The other renter brought the car back at 5 PM, the same day I was supposed to pick it up, and I took "delivery" at 5:15!
I asked him how he had time to deal with the other renter and go through the car to make sure there was no damage, within 15 minutes of the other renter dropping it off and me picking it up? He said "well, that bump was not there before." I told him he is wrongfully accusing me so the next day, he calls and says he needs to pull the deductible of $300 to pay for the damage as the car is already in their body shop to be fixed. Literally, this was a small bump on the surface of the body that did not crease, damage the paint or even dent fully. It was a minor surface bump and they are saying they want $300???
I asked him, "how can you charge a deductible without letting me see a bill or having my insurance company look at it so they can give an estimate as well?" He had no answer. The location of this bump was on the back trunk area, right next to the tail light. You would have to try really hard, or KNOW EXACTLY WHERE TO LOOK, to be able to see this bump, which is why I was surprised that he even noticed it and why I did not in the 3 weeks I had it.
When I picked it up, I was dumb enough not to pay attention while we were doing the walk-around. I was distracted trying to get the phone number of my body shop while he was measuring small bumps in the body of the car and I trusted his opinion. He or I could have easily missed damage because of the distraction. Needless to say, I bit the bullet and called their insurance company to deal with this and get a formal estimate for the damage from Enterprise. I called twice and emailed 3 times with my claim number. I was hung up on once, even though the rep from their insurance company verified my phone number before the line "went dead." She could have called me back but chose not to. I have also emailed 3 times, with my claim number and received a confirmation that they received my email and to date (8/10/2016) I have yet to hear from them.
Basically, what happened in my opinion is that the guy that had this car before me damaged it, he returned it to Enterprise in Arlington, MA on Dudley st, 15 minutes before the other customer (myself) came to pick it up. Enterprise did not have time to go through it thoroughly and may have missed it (because it is hard to see) or it was too late because the guy had already been cleared and drove away so they decided to pin it on me and say I damaged the car. I will never rent from them again and I will certainly be leaving this same review on every social media site I can. It is not fair that they accused me of damaging their car when I have never been in an at-fault accident because someone did not do their job correctly the last time.
The kicker in this whole thing is that before any estimate or supporting documents were shown to me (I still have not seen an estimate from these people), but they were quick to charge me. How do you charge someone without a bill for them to see what you are about to steal from them? Shame on you Enterprise!! My husband is a 40 year auto mechanic and works on at least 10 Enterprise vehicles each week! From his experience, he warned me to stay away from Enterprise and rent elsewhere.

I rented from Enterprise 2 months. I used my Discover Card to secure the car. I don't need their insurance because Discover is contracted with Enterprise to cover the car 100%. 2nd I have the best full coverage. I have A perfect driving record - no accidents, tickets. My deductible is zero. Why would I pay 11.99 a day and 1000 dollar deductible. I'm in my 50's. The day I rented the car I left, didn't even get a block away, I came back and quietly told Carry there was a strong urine smell on the cloth back seats. I wanted to switch for a new car in a nice way - never complained, just concerned health wise. I work in the medical field. It seemed to annoy Carry. She never came out to address the problem before I left. The second time I took a short video. It was foul and orange yellow. I didn't want to be blamed. I paid 108.00 bucks to get the back seat cleaned so I left it alone. I didn't even tell them I had it cleaned.
Approx. every week or so they would call me in to make a payment. I would go that day or the following day. Then one day my 25 year old daughter called me and said Carry called and said she was going to report the car stolen if I didn't make a payment. I called, asked Carry why. She said she didn't say that. So I ask "why did you call my daughter and not me?" She said that was the number she had for me. Well not true because they called me at home to come in and make payments. I would go that day or the next. Again Carry calls, leaves a voice mail on my daughter's phone again. This time my 29 year daughter too. I go in make my payment and the lady that helped ask me "why are you paying for insurance?" Discover covers my rental. I said "I don't have your coverage." She showed me I have paid over 500.00 bucks and my rental agreements show I declined so she said "let me get Carry."
She handed her A print out of my fees. She looked at it and sat it on the counter, walked out. I waited at least 10 minutes. I walked over and picked up the paper she sat down and it was my payment History, my name, address, my credit card info. I took it and left. I called Carry the next day. I was put on hold then when they picked up they asked who I was and put me back on hold. After 16 minutes I was told she wasn't there. I went in a few days later to renew the contract. I had the car over 30 days at this point and it was very uncomfortable. Everyone was disrespectful. When I got to the front of the line I was left standing there until a young ** associate said sorry and helped me. I have no clue at this time what is wrong. I have rented there forever. Never had problems ever with anyone.
When I left a ** man tells me "wipe her make up off her head and it would say ** power." I thought he was talking about himself because I'm **. Anyhow Carry cont. to call my daughters, same message. I go pay, go home till one day my older daughter got a little upset at a conversation she had with Carry. I call Carry, told her I have appt. with social Security and if I get out on time I was going evening hours if not the following day which I did. I went, had the car filled with gas and then detailed then straight to Civic Dr. Enterprise Victorville CA. I park next to the door. A guy that works there was going to watch the kids and move it into another parking. Something to do with another car coming in for service. Anyhow that's not it. He brought my kids out of the car and locked it. Another guy said I missed an appt. with Carry the day prior so they were taking the car. I was lost. Where is Carry? She isn't there really.
I have only one appt. that's when I reserve a car. Other than that they call I go pay so I was left to walk home with my 3 special needs adopted kids and they kept me there forever. I have no clue what they were doing. If you look at the receipt they took payment, call me back, ask me for more then call me back and ask me for a dollar. Anyhow Carry got mad and took the car because I ask her to fix the insurance thing. She slapped it on the counter and left, never fixed it and till this day Enterprise has not reached out to me. My rental agreement clearly shows I declined coverage and she refuse to fix it. It was A mistake. It was nobody's fault. I blamed nobody. I just wanted it fixed so they tricked me by keeping me in the office paying three different amounts. Why they got my kids out the car and took the keys.
She said I need to check the miles. When I got the car it had no gas. In fact light was blinking. A fresh detailed car while I have video proof of what it looked like and I had the back seat completely detailed. Not cool. Sure made me think about what that ** man said a few weeks prior after this leaving me stranded, tricking me in the store and taking a fresh car full tank of gas. Well my 3 adopted kids are **. I'm hurt because till this day I have no clue what I did. The more I thought about it I got very close to one of the employees there. My daughter had gone missing in June. She was held against her will. I drive a Subaru Impreza WRX. It sticks out in the ghetto where I live. I also drive and own 2004 mustang conv. gt 40th anniv. that also sticks out. My Subaru has been vandalized on a couple occasions by a group of kids my daughter had problems with. This is why I rented a car.
If you look at my rental history I only rent suv's. I knew if I rented this cheap car nobody would expect me to drive this. So anyhow I wanted to search and find my 17 year old daughter. She was found safe at home. I went in to tell the girl at Enterprise my daughter was found. She is beat pretty bad but alive safe with me. We walked outside and talked a bit. I told them I was turning the car in soon as the hospital said she was ready to come home and I was going to go see her that Wed. So I didn't get to go see her because the car was taken.
I want to stress the receipt the day they took the car it was 311.00 then they wanted 4 dollars then a dollar and change. I want the insurance money they took off my card and I used my Discover to rent the car but one day paid with my debit card over the phone. All the debits they did I didn't authorize because they were suppose to credit my card 500.00 and some change to my card from the insurance fees they were taking or use it as 500 pre paid for the rental.

We were told that since it was Saturday and after hours they didn't have anyone available. The person on the phone told us that we could "walk into the airport" and rent one (the airport was about 10 miles away).
When I asked if the local store had an "emergency" number to call on Saturday or Sunday she said, "No sir, we have to go home sometimes too!" I told her she should take that commercial off TV that because they will only pick you up when they are open. The next morning I arranged a trip to the airport where I rented a car, certainly not at Enterprise, at National where they were kind and helpful. Never again will I rent from Enterprise.

I'm trying to get a 19.00 dollar reimbursement from when I rented a car as my car was totaled. When I went to the agency at Jarrett Ford in Haines City Florida, I was told the car that was reserved for me was not available. They would have to upgrade to a larger car and I would pay the difference. Being over a barrel I did since I needed a car. I used my credit card. 2 things the type of car I needed should have been there, and if not, I should have not paid anything for the upgrade.
I did not reserve the car, the insurance companies did. So after I was able to find a car I could purchase, I requested, and gave my email to the Jarrett Ford office. I have still not received a bill to submit for reimbursement to the insurance company. I would like this matter resolved. Thank you. I have been a pretty good customer for your rental car agency but this lack of follow up, and the lack of deals you send me that are of no use in the cities I'm traveling to, I might have to rethink my loyalty.

I didn't get my deposit yet even they promised me to refund three weeks ago. After I call the customer service, the rep was very rude and told me the office was just an affiliate of Enterprise and it was not their business, then I was left alone. Also, be careful their quotation, because they will add extra cost on the quotation without telling you. So you will end up paying much more than what you have already been told.

I rented a car in Middletown, Ohio for business. They gave me a very nasty car. Dirty windows I couldn't see out of due to smeared greasy finger prints, gum smeared on the outside of the driver side window, and everything was sticky on the inside of the car. I should have turned around and took it back, but I didn't. Next time I will!!! Terrible... Called and complained and they told me to bring it back, but I didn't have time to do that. Awful... You'd think they would have at least gave me a discount for cleaning the car for them! VERY disappointing.

I rented a car from Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Colorado Springs airport location, Aug 7-10. I used American Express e-certificates that were for a total of $282+. Upon return, instead of applying the e-certificates (that they had taken from me upon check-in), they charged my American Express credit card $195.00. I filed a dispute with American Express, which contacted the company and "resolved" the dispute. American Express credited my account the $195.
Last month, I received a call from First Financial Asset Management in North Carolina (where I lived THREE months ago) demanding payment of $195. I told them it was resolved. I just received another call from the same company. Enterprise has even contacted credit bureaus and harmed my almost perfect credit score. Fraud, violations of Deceptive Trade Practices Law, and violations of Fair Credit Reporting Law and Debt Collection Laws. DO NOT EVER RENT FROM ENTERPRISE!!!

I rented a car from Enterprise rental car back in Jan of 2016. We had an agreement that I would pay $300 every two weeks until I got my own car in May of 2016. My next payment of $300 was due on Feb 19, 2016. They harassed me by phone on Feb 12 3 times from their local office and 5 from their main office saying I need to return the car and pay what's due on the car. I did that in Mar paying over $1300 then they changed the contract on me forcing me to pay weekly then when I got behind on April 8 they towed the car on 12th. Not waiting to the April 15 when I could pay them then trying to bill me for the damage to the car from the towing and the new key for the car plus hidden charges on the rental car.

Enterprise has recently and unfairly accused my husband of doing thousands of dollars worth of damage to his rental car. There was no damage to the car when he dropped it off to be picked up by an Enterprise employee. Interestingly enough, Enterprise does not record the names of the people that transport cars... Could it be that this nameless person damaged the car? Or is this a scam supported by the entire office of Enterprise.
Good luck trying to get in touch with this company. They have been exceptionally talented at avoiding phone calls and not returning emails. When I finally talked to a person, he told me that the questions that I was asking were not relevant - like who transferred the car and who identified the damages and who did the initial inspection? He also has yet to Email me the documents that I asked to see. He gave me the most helpful advice of contacting my insurance company... No, I will be contacting my attorney instead. If you are ever thinking of using Enterprise, I would emphatically urge you to reconsider. If you go ahead with them, then keep copies of all paperwork and record all inspections. Help me challenge this prime representative of corporate greed.

I made a reservation with Enterprise for a car rental for Friday, May 6, 2016 through Monday, May 9, 2016 in Columbus, Ohio. On Monday, May 9, 2016, I had a flight at Rickenbacker Airport and learned that the Enterprise location does not offer shuttle services. In order to return the car, I was told that I could drop the car off at the airport. The Enterprise representative told me where to park the car at the airport, to leave the keys at the ticket counter, and to call him back with the name of the person with whom I left the keys. I followed these procedures EXACTLY as I was told by the Enterprise representative, was assured that was all I needed to do, and I left Ohio. I did not know there were any issues until ONE MONTH LATER, after the car was returned, I was contacted because Enterprise failed to retrieve the car from the location they told me to leave it.
Due to failures on their end (failure to retrieve the car on the date it was returned as instructed, failure to track their inventory for 30 days, and failure to follow-up with me in a timely manner), I am being charged for having the rental car for the entire month after it was already returned according to their procedure. Additionally, I am told that damage occurred to the car after I dropped it off and I am being charged for this damage too. I followed the procedures provided to me by their representative(s) and it is completely absurd that I would be faulted and charged for the failures in their policies and procedures, despite following exactly what I was told by their representative.

My neighbor backed into my car in my driveway on 6/28/2016 and I obtained her insurance provider and proceeded to get the estimate on repairs as her insurance requested. The insurance stated that they did provide a rent a car while my car was in the shop. They stated that they used Enterprise, an established rental company for the repair shop. On the day assigned for repairs, 7/12/16, the rental car showed up 6 hours later than they promised for the rental, rushed through the signing over part, but NOT before obtaining a credit card number from me for $50.00 for any damages that may occur during the time I had the car. I was also advised that that day did not count on the rental because of the late delivery.
After returning the car, (cleaner and with more gas than I received) and waiting two days, I called to see when my $50.00 would be refunded, since no damages occurred. I was then informed that I had signed for the $16.75 per day additional insurance, and that I actually still owed Enterprise additional money. I stated that I was not aware that I had opted for the insurance. It was NOT mentioned during the delivery. It was confirmed that Liberty Mutual would be paying for the car expenses. I am a widower on VERY limited Social security income, and the accident was totally not my fault.
Now I have a credit card bill that I have to figure out how to get paid, for a rental that sat in the garage 95% of the time while my car was being repaired. I wrote to the regional Enterprise rep. but received no reply at all. I feel that the local Enterprise rep. saw that I was a senior and a female and took advantage of the situation and added on the additional insurance, intentionally. It was never mentioned. The car repair establishment was great but Enterprise definitely took advantage of a senior citizen. I and my family have used Enterprise in the past for our own rentals, but NEVER AGAIN, even if the rate is cheaper. I strongly do NOT recommend anyone to use Enterprise, but if you do have to use Enterprise Car Rental, triple check your paperwork before signing.

I had to wait 40 minutes at my car repair shop before being picked up and ended up being very late for work. I used this service twice last year and not only they were reasonably on time but they never indicated that they don't guarantee to pick you up on time (as they do in Corvallis) but that they give clients a 30 minute window of time for the pick up. They may remember to say that to some customers, but they never did mention that to me. In any event, they arrived 40 rather than 30 minutes late. Then, they took me to their office, where the situation was rather crowded and chaotic, and took an additional 25 minutes to give me a car. In fact, they had no idea what car I was going to get and said that most of them were already allocated. It seemed that they did not have a car for me. Last minute they pulled an SUV and they gave me that as last resort.
I have been renting from the Corvallis branch for 14 years and seldom have any problems and their customer service is top notch. I think that both the Lloyd Center branch as well as the one at the Portland International Airport need new management, because the service at both of them is some of the worst I have ever experience with a car rental company in the US.

I rented a car from Enterprise at the Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris. The car was dirty and completely unprepared for me. When I returned the vehicle, the check-in person said the car was damaged and pulled out the bottom plastic molding near the wheel-well. There was no damage to the vehicle until she pulled on the piece of plastic. Of course, I argued she had caused the damage, but she denied it. I couldn't fight it as I had to catch my international flight. Enterprise later charged me an extra 450 Euros for the damage.
I tried contacting Enterprise in Paris through the provided email address many times. They never even acknowledged my emails. I contacted the company's North American group several times with not even an acknowledgement. I finally was able to reach a supervisor who took my complaint and said the company would follow up with me. Never heard anything back.
So... be VERY CAREFUL. By their refusal to even answer any emails or return calls, I am extremely suspicious of their activities and would not surprise me if this is systematic. My advice is to cancel any rental you have with these people. If you have an upcoming rental and can't get out of it, make SURE to videotape the entire checkout and checking. It is the only thing that will save you in case you experience the same thing I did. The entire experience has me completely distrusting car rental companies, and I am considering taking this further up the chain for an investigation into their practices. Stay away from Enterprise at Charles de Gaulle.

I have rented two vehicles from Dulles Enterprise. Both were damaged. One SUV, one full sized car. Both times Enterprise attempted to charge me for the damage upon return. On pickup, they have you inspect the car under a canopy which makes it hard to see damage. On drop off, they inspect the car in the sun. Both times I almost missed the damage because it was under the canopy. Fortunately, the brake lights of the car parked in front of/next to me went on which revealed fairly substantial damage which I did not see under the canopy without the brake lights. When you point out the damage, the agent says "I'm only looking for damage larger than a dollar bill" and then ignores the damage and does not document the damage for a ticket. When you return, the return agent pulls up your receipt and show you the "Vehicle Condition" box which says "No Damage Documented".
The full sized car I rented this time had 37,000 miles on it. There was a lot of minor damage to it. Because the same thing happened to me twice, I would classify it as a scam. It is intentional. Further, I booked my reservation through Kayak. It said it was an "on-airport" rental. I specifically check this because I have been burned a couple times. When I got to Enterprise, they showed me the reservation was for downtown DC. So they upcharged me from $260 to $410 for the same car. I will not use Dulles Enterprise again.

I was renting a car for an extended period of time as a result of repairs to my own personal car. The DFW metroplex had recently been hit with bad storms, hail, etc. I couldn't locate a local repair shop in our area so I located one in Sherman, TX, about 30 miles from the area I live in. I called the Enterprise location in Sherman, TX and gave them a time I would be there to pick up a car. I was even late (an hour but I called them) in getting to the area due to some work constraints. When I done dropping off my car at the dealership's auto body shop, located a mile from the Enterprise office, the body shop service rep called for my pick-up and was told by the Enterprise rep that they were too busy to pick me up, hence the dealership rep drove me there and dropped me off. About 30-40 minutes later I asked if they could please speed things up so I could make it back to my office that afternoon on time for an appointment.
They offered two cars. I chose the one that obviously was not cleaned (loosely using this term) and it was wet when I got in and so I did not check the interior right away except for the driver's mat, covered in grass, which I shook out. After I came to the first stop where I could glance in the back seat, I was nearly gagging at the site of food refuse bags, food stains, and so much grass and dirt. I was compelled to nearly throw up. I drove back to my office 30 miles from the Enterprise locale and immediately called them to report the dirty vehicle. Long story short, it's 24 hours later & someone has finally (after over 12 phone calls) picked up the car at my office and is cleaning it, then returning it. Needless to say, this is the LAST time I ever rent from this car rental company ever again... I MEAN EVER!

I was getting a rental because the shop I was at was gonna repair my car. So they had me waiting for almost 30 minutes for my rental when they said they will be there soon. They told me that they got me "free gas" for waiting so long, but my tank wasn't even full or close to full. I mean it was more than half, but to say "free gas" for waiting for over 30 minutes, I would expect at least close to full gas.
Then, when they got me to the rental, the worker was rushing everything. Mind you - this is my first time renting a vehicle, so I wasn't so sure of how everything goes. They got in the driver seat, turned on the car, they ran through the basics on the controls of the interior - under a minute. Then they said when the tank is at 1/4, bring it back to the shop. I'm like, "What?" SO confusing. I asked what they meant, and they just repeated what they just said. -.- I asked them how long can I have the rental for, and they said "As long as I need it", and I'm like, "But you just said to bring my rental back at 1/4 tank..." I was so frustrated because the worker was being so vague and it seemed like they wanted to find shortcuts so they can charge me for me making a little mistake.
Then, the worker said "Now, let's take a look at the car." We took a look at the car for less than 30 seconds, and they hand me a paper to sign. I signed where I had to, and was ready to leave. When I got to my destination, I noticed there were some scratches on my car (wheels and front bumper). I felt so stupid because I did not keep in mind that there were gonna be damages before driving off (this was my first ever rental). I look back and realized that the worker was also being so vague and just wanted me done, so I felt angst towards them as well.
I look at the copy of the paper that I was handed and on the paper it said that there were "no damages". I did NOT check the box that there were no damages. This worker did NOT even say that we were inspecting the car for damages, they just said "Now, let's take a look at the car." I thought we were just checking it out. Who says Lets check the car out, and would actually mean inspect the car? - NO ONE says that.
I realized then, that this worker was mean and pushy - even though their attitude didn't show it. My overall thoughts on this company is they are liars and will do anything to charge for anything. Also, they didn't even give me a selection of what car I wanted. This was my first time. I now know what to do when I ever get a rental again, but this experience has gotten me very stressed and annoyed because I already have my car accident that I have to deal with - which came with other problems. I do NOT recommend Enterprise. If you ever have to choose this company I would suggest you to be 3 steps ahead of them because they will try to take the most of your money. Make sure that you report ALL of the damages on the vehicle and ask ALL of the questions you need to know before you leave that parking lot.

We finished on time and dropped the vehicle back on Sunday morning and put the keys in drop box. We had it cleaned. I left them my credit car details to charge when they closed account on Monday. Good thing I did, the bill was literally doubled! When I asked why was that? I was told 1) 3 day charges. 2) $150.00 for detailing because the car was smelling of smoke and there were specs and spots all over.
Seriously? If we would have know the vehicle needed to be sparkling clean we could have taken it for detailing ourselves for much less. When I told him we only rented the car for two days, he said, "Oh sorry let me update". Well, I am sorry for the smoking in the car, we were dealing with a lot of stress burying a young member of our family. We cleaned the car thoroughly. It was not new when we got it, the expectation was to return it new looking. To me we got ripped off and they made some quick money but they have lost a repeat customer. That is no way to treat a long standing customer. I have the receipt on my drive and I can email if you send me your email.

Four days later came back, return the rental, and everything came up as plan. On 07/14/2016 I made a reservation and because ENTERPRISE advertise that they will pick you up, and due to the reason that I'm mobility impaired I decided to call. Big waste of time. First of all whoever answer the call who identify himself as the manager was very unprofessional because when we gave the address to our home he kept saying "what was that? What? What was that?" It lasted like 10-15 minutes like that, so I hang up and decided to go walking. Big mistake, due to the medications I take I almost had a heat stroke.
When we Got to the office, I know they got the picture that I wasn't feeling well and that I'm mobility impaired, so I was approached by a ** guy behind the counter and I said I had a reservation. They looked for it in their system and indeed I had a reservation like last time because I'm a plus member. When was time to pay I asked if we can use my girlfriend/care provider's credit card and for me to be assigned the driver because my care provider doesn't have a driver's license and reason why I dont have a credit card is because my care provider is the one takes care of our finances because I can't manage my financial situation because of my conditions. He said "NO. That's against company policy", but we did that last time with my mom, so the manager said "oh that doesnt happen here on my watch" and I remember him being there last time so I told him that.
He started getting a little loud saying "no I dont think so." "So you do go against policy because you did last time, so which one is the difference. What's the deal, what's the procedure then. Look I need to rent a car to go to my uncle's burial. Please can you do the same when my mom was here." He goes "no we can do that on special occasions but not today." I was like "are you serious. You make me walk all the way here for this now thinking I'm getting a car which I did before. Now just because probably you dont like me I have to go back like this?". He said, "I dont know what to tell you. Go get a friend that gots a credit card with a license."
I was like "does it look like I can be going around looking for that? Look at me. I can barely stay still." So they started laughing on my face. He goes "look I can refuse service to anyone I want." I was speechless. "So that's it." "Yup" he said, and started laughing with the ** guy pointing at the door. I asked to talk to a manager. He yelled at me "I'm the manager." "And what's your name?" He then grabbed a business card and throw it at me. So his name is: BRENT **, and he's not the manager. He is the assistant manager. I asked him why he was laughing.

I am writing this review due to the lack of competency of the staff at the Enterprise in Lewisville, TX. This past March, I rented a raggedy car from them that smelled like smoke. I called them to report it, the girl that answered the phone said she would make note and asked if I wanted to return it. I planned to only keep it for the week so I didn't. That same week we had a hail storm. I was turning the car in that Friday but I had to extend it. I called to extend, reported the hail damage. The same girl said she would make note. I asked her if there was anything I needed to do, she said no she would just make note of the damage. I kept the car for another week and again reported this the same damage and asked if there was anything I needed to do and I was told no, there was a note. I had to call and extend the car again due to my car being in the car repair shop.
At this point I asked the manager again about the damage. I was told there was nothing I needed to do but provide them a copy with the insurance that I had obtained when I rented it. I emailed a copy of the insurance (in which I had already provided at time of rental). I ended up extending the car rental another couple of weeks after speaking with them each time. When I returned the car almost a week after my last extension they inspected the vehicle stated that there was hail damage and a claim needed to be made and they would take care of it.
After a week, I then began receiving invoices for $3,000 for the damages. Insurance claim was made but denied due to Enterprise reporting the wrong date for the hail damage on the vehicle, not the date that I reported it. I was told that I was supposed to have brought the car in at that time for them to look at it. Again no one ever instructed me when I called to report the damage or the procedures that needed to take place. Because Enterprise had reported the wrong date to the insurance company my claim was denied. Now I am having to prove the date of the hail damage to have my claim re-evaluated. Enterprise takes no responsibility for their staff not reporting the correct date in which I reported the damage and that they failed to give me instructions on what I needed to do. I have not rented a car in 30 years so I was unaware of any of the procedures because I've never experienced having any damage to any rental cars.
The manager of the Enterprise did not even instruct me on what I needed to do when I spoke with him. All I was told was that they would take care of it. Again I am having to go through hoops to try to prove that the date that I reported the damage was covered by insurance on the car. Now, they are being nasty about the payment. I could have had my own estimates of the hail damage done if I had been instructed. But, they did not give me an opportunity to have the car looked at or anything they just kept telling me that they would take care of it. If this is the way their customer service and their claim specialist do people this is very wrong. I am trying to find others that have had similar experiences with this Enterprise and if they had to get an attorney to help them get their claims settled.

Enterprise later contacts my husband for his insurance information regarding the accident. They won't pay and claim that I rented the car and his license is on the rental but they now claim he wasn't allowed to drive. My insurance says that I was not allowed to drive because there is no driver's license for me on the paperwork.

When I returned my rental car to Enterprise, it had been raining, so the car was dirty from backsplash on the highway. When I checked the car in, the agent asked me to wait until they washed the car so they could look for damage. I told the agent I thought this was odd because in all the years I have been renting cars, (and this was the 3rd one this month from this same location) I have never before been asked to wait to have a car washed when I turned it in and why would he say they are washing it specifically to look for damage?
I told him he was wasting his time because there was no damage but when they brought the car around after washing it, the agent walked around it, went to the passenger side, got down on his knee to look down the profile of the passenger side and then pointed out to me that there was a dent at the bottom of the passenger side door. I flipped out! My immediate response to him was that I had nothing to do with it and that someone knew it was there and told him to catch it when I brought it back, because he specifically told me to wait while he washed it so he could "look for damage" and then went right to it. I told him I thought they were setting me up to try to make me responsible. I told him it was quite odd that they made me wait while they washed the car and then coincidentally went right to this dent.
I also explained to the agent that this was a different car than the one I originally picked up from Enterprise earlier that week. The one I originally picked up, I drove for about an hour and the car started shaking and making noises. I pulled over and called the Enterprise location where I rented the car. I was told that I would need to find an Enterprise location closest to where I was pulled over and see if they had cars available. I found a car at a different Enterprise location and about 2 hours later, the other location gave me a car that had just been returned.
They asked me to wait while they did a quick servicing of the car and they would get me on my way. We started to do a quick walk around. I pointed out some scratches to the agent, and she said "don't worry about little stuff, we expect there to be some things on here and normal wear and tear." I did not finish a walk around, but got in the car. The agent apologized for the wait, gave me the keys and said "let's get you on your way." I didn't even look at the passenger side.
I believe the dent was already in the car and Enterprise is trying to put the responsibility on me. The agent told me when I turned in the car that I don't know what could've happened in a parking lot. In looking at this dent, it would be nearly impossible to make this dent without denting the area around it. I told the agent that it looked like someone opened the passenger door into something and I had not touched that door. The agent rudely told me it didn't matter what I thought because he was filing a report against my company's insurance, and someone would be in contact with me and my company.
This is the absolute worst case of customer service I have ever encountered! In the last 2 months, I have rented a car from this location 5 times! The agent at this location was NOT WILLING to help me find a replacement vehicle when I was having problems with the one I rented. He gave me phone numbers to other locations that I could call on my own and find one, but wasn't willing to look in the computer and see if he could find one for me. Better, I guess to just leave me stranded. But then when I returned the vehicle, I believe I was completely set up to be responsible for a dent that someone did not get the paperwork turned in for against someone else. It was just too coincidental that they would have to take the time to wash my car and look for damage 10 minutes before they close and then find a dent.
I would recommend to everyone I know to NEVER USE ENTERPRISE CAR RENTAL. They gave me TERRIBLE customer service and they certainly were not willing to help me when I needed it, let alone offer to pick me up. I definitely will be asking our travel department to start booking rental cars for the 70-plus members of our team who travel through a different company that is more trustworthy.

I rented a car for 3 hours to drive from my home to where my truck was left and stopped only one to get gas. I never left the car and when I dropped it off, the man at the counter and I went out and got the gas mileage and there was nothing wrong with the car. A week later I received a bill for over $1,000 for damages. I did not think I needed insurance since I just had it for 3 hours so now they are sending me bills for this damage that I did not make. When I rented the car, the lady went out with me and told me and measured the few damages already to the car along with a scratch on the hood and she used her round tool to measure it. I have always used Enterprise and referred many people to them but because of this scam I am never using them again and will write comments all over the place to complain about this scam.

First off let me say that I am not the type of person to make complaints online, but I have to stress how I am very unpleased with the customer service that was provided at this place. I went to the Enterprise - Downtown Richmond location 7/12/2016 located at 207 E.Main St. to rent on a car under the conditions that I had an extremely important business meeting at 8 a.m. on 7/13/16.
I was unaware of the policy requirements where you have to provide two forms of identification ex. Electric bill/Mortgage statement etc. to proceed with the process. I showed the manager several forms of identification which was not good enough. I finally just ran across the street to get a good reception on my cell phone, pleading with the manager to give me at the most 5 minutes to pull up the documentation. Needless to say it only took me 2 minutes, where I then ran back to the front door only for them to slam the door in my face and say that they were "sorry" and that they were closed.
The employees were not only very rude but very uncompassionate. Needless to say, I live 2 blocks away from the establishment and I will not only never return but I am also letting every single one of my colleagues know to never ever rent from Enterprise. I am also going to request that we have this company removed from our third-party vendor.

I had a pretty scary experience with the car I rented 6/24/16-6/30/16. We had a 2015 Toyota Camry, which I rented for safety reasons. My personal vehicle is an older, high mileage car. I rent cars for road trips, for they are safe vehicles to transport my family on vacations. However, this particular car gave us a big problem.
Everything was smooth sailing all the way to the beach, and the whole time we were there. However, the evening before departing our destination, I was headed to dinner and sunset dolphin watching with friends. When I approached the rental car, there was a flat tire on the front passenger side. I managed to get a neighbor to change the tire for the spare, which forced me to miss my date with friends. The very next morning was supposed to be our departure day. I made my way to Firestone, who my local Enterprise told me to go get the tire checked out. Unfortunately, upon arriving at Firestone, the technician used his tire tread measuring tool to check all of the tires on the car. The rear tires were good. However, BOTH front tires were (in the technicians term) "DEFECTIVE" and BOTH front tires would need to be replaced.
I know that everything turned out safely in the end, but thinking about traveling all of those hours, going in excess of 70 MPH the interstate and 3 mile bridges over the ocean on bald, "defective" tires with my youngest son just makes me very sick to my stomach! What auto shop do you use where a moron put new tires on the BACK of a car?? I may only be a female, but am I wrong in saying that even I know you don't keep bald, old tires on the front of any car!!! It is a DISGRACE!!! I had to be delayed sitting at Firestone, when I should've been on the road, SAFELY. We should've arrived back home at 3:00 PM, not 7:30 PM. I am just grateful that the tire was flat in the driveway and not on the interstate! Lucky for Enterprise!
I have tried contacting Enterprise several times via email to try to get some type of compensation for my troubles. Either some money back from when I paid them, or perhaps a free weekend or something like that. Unfortunately, they don't feel the need to contact me, or even care about what happened. So here I am making a bad review on these morons who don't know how to put tires on the car. Enterprise, I hope you are reading this. I will never rent from your company again. And now reading all of these other horrible reviews that I've read on this site, I don't know why I even considered getting another weekend from you. You have the worst reviews I've ever seen! Good luck and good riddance!

On June 18th, 2016, I arrived at Nice Airport to collect my confirmed booked car rental from Enterprise. As my flight arrived earlier than others joining me, I went to the counter to ask, if by any chance the car was ready early and I could process. I was told no, to come back at 4pm when we had booked the collection. Fine, understood, no issues.
At 4pm I went back to the desk as instructed, to be told that there was no car available at all. No apology and when I asked what on earth I was supposed to do, I was "invited" to try and find a car with one of their competitors. No offer of help, nothing. When I asked what they would do about it, he replied, "Nothing. We have no cars, not our problem." So there we were 7 people trying to find a car big enough at Nice Airport on the weekend of Euro 2016 - which proved impossible. While we were at the desks, at least three other families were turned away too, all of whom had booked larger vehicles. I would not have minded so much if they had told me when I was at the desk earlier, so I had more time to find a car, or even if they had said sorry, and offered us alternatives, or help. But just a smug smile and basically NOTHING.
Where I consider myself lucky is we had booked for payment on arrival (at a higher daily rate). So they did not have our money. The family next to us, with the same issue, had prepaid. They faced having to find another car, and paying for it, before any refund from Enterprise would go back to their cards. That is disgusting. It left them struggling to pay. At least we did not have that problem. We ended up having to take a smaller, yet more expensive car from another rental, the ONLY car we could find after 4 hours of searching (Thank you Europe Car. Your staff were amazing) and pay out hundreds of Euros for taxis for the additional people. We reached our holiday villa, several hours late, unable to buy supplies as all the shops were closed, and our first dinner in France, sadly ended up being McDonald's. Not the best start to a holiday!
So with a booking confirmed, for over 1,800 euros of car rental, no car, no service, rude staff and now, four weeks later, still actually trying to get a response from Enterprise. All I get is messages saying my complaint has been passed to someone else and they will respond. I don't hold out much hope of getting a response. Disgusting service and an expensive mistake. Will not use them again. Please take care if you do.

I went to reserve a car for my boyfriend since he needed a ride for a job orientation. I went to the Enterprise website and did all the preliminary work for the rental. I even stated that there were two drivers as it gives you the option of adding a driver for an additional $10. The total for two days came to $100.46. I made the reservation a week in advance. I even got a call two days before to confirm the reservation and a reminder email. So, on the day we go to get the rental, I pull out my credit and the girl behind the counter immediately says she needs my boyfriend's credit card.
I state that he doesn't have a credit card. She then proceeds to tell me that in order for us to get the rental, my boyfriend must be the sole driver. I advised her that I added myself as a driver on the reservation, but she stated that since he's the primary, he must have a credit card or debit card in his name. Well, he has a debit card. So, I told her I'll just transfer the amount of money from my bank account to his account and then we're set. Then, she says there is a $250 hold in addition to the amount of the rental. So, now we're up to $350.46 for A ONE DAY RENTAL!!!
I was livid and so was my boyfriend. We ended up canceling the whole thing and storming out of the office. I ended up making some alternative arrangements as I was lucky to find another ride for him. The policy is stupid and NOWHERE on the website was this ever stated. Enterprise is sneaky and I will NEVER use their service or recommend them to anyone.

I see the Enterprise commercials daily on how they will come and pick you up from anywhere. Well, that is NOT true! My car broke down and after several hours managed to get myself home. I contacted Enterprise the following morning expecting a fairly easy rental experience. Although the local Enterprise office was only 8 miles away, the Enterprise office would not pick me up! This was so mis-leading! Also, if you look at the enterprise site, it clearly states they pick you up. After hearing they wouldn't pick me up I had to start calling cabs to get a car rental. I didn't use Enterprise because I felt their ads are mis-leading.
Later that day I dug around the Enterprise site to get more information regarding the pickup policy. I had to go to the bottom of the home page, dig around to find the Support page, and then go to Most Popular Answers. Within this area there was a question "Will Enterprise Pick Me Up". This is the response to that question...
"Yes, our free pick-up service is available at non-airport locations and during normal business hours. To schedule your pick up time or make additional pick arrangements, please call your local rental office directly. Once picked up and back at the office, a friendly rental representative will complete your paper work and have you on the road in no time. Please note: Our rental offices are happy to pick you up, but they do not deliver vehicles. If renting from an airport location, our offices are either in the terminal or a short shuttle ride away. Due to security regulations, our non-airport rental locations cannot pick you up or drop you off at an airport."
So, if you ask me, that means they should pick you up. NO that is NOT True. You must search further down the Answers Page to find the following "Can you guarantee the pick-up?" Within this section they state their caveats "Pick-ups are done by the first non-airport location within 10 miles of your location", my son is 8 miles from the location. However, their second caveat stated "not all branches within 10 miles are able to do a pick-up". If they have caveats, they should be stated up front, or clearly available for viewing, not hidden within the Support section, at the very bottom of the screen, intermingled within Promotions, Sponsorship, Businesses, etc. I will never use Enterprise; they are misleading. So disappointing.

I'm an Indian citizen who frequently visits Sioux Falls, SD for official purposes. I have an Enterprise Plus card and have rented their cars twice before in Sioux Falls. Yesterday me and my colleague called the Enterprise office at 41th street and reserved a car for the weekend (Confirmation # **). When we reached there to pick the car up we were denied the car saying we need to have an international driving permit. We had clearly told the person who did the reservation that we do not have an international driving permit and have driven Enterprise cars before.
In spite of our repeated requests and justifications the manager in charge there Mr. ** denied us the car and was of the opinion that it is Enterprise Rent a car policy. We returned to the hotel and checked Enterprise website and all that it says is that you need an international driver's permit if the license is not in English. But ours were in English and we called the person to let him know what we found on the site and he was adamant and was not willing to go back from his previous stand. This is a horrible customer experience for me who was a loyal Enterprise customer and used to suggest Enterprise to my friends and colleagues.

What is the policy and procedure when someone drops the ball concerning a reservation? I was contacted by Enterprise rental car and informed that my Esurance claim had been accepted for a rental and to come pick up the vehicle. I was told that I would have to provide a $50 refundable deposit. I was given the number to the closest Enterprise rental store in Union City, Georgia (which was located down the street from the Collision Center that is repairing my vehicle). I called the Union City store to ask some questions about the reservations but was interrupted, told that the Collision Center would have to call them to come and pick me up.
I drove down to the Collision Center and they called the Union City Enterprise store to come and pick me up. I waited over an hour at the Union City store and was finally called to the service desk. I was told that the deposit would be $75. I explained what I had been told by the Enterprise representative over phone. The assistant manager, named Precious **, refused to change the deposit to $50 and told me that is what the College Park store charges. I asked her what did that mean. She told me that Esurance had made reservations with the College Park store. I asked Ms. ** if someone could take me to the College Park store and she refused. I was stranded at the Union City Enterprise store because my vehicle had been left at the Collision Center and the Collision Center was closed.
I called Enterprise customer service and spoke with a representative by the name of Greg **. Mr. ** asked me to ask Ms. ** if she could transfer the reservation and Ms. ** said, "No." Mr. ** also asked Ms. Precious ** if she could have someone transport me to the College Park store and again, she refused. She was tactless and showed no compassion or professionalism. I asked Mr. ** if he could contact the College Park store and have someone come pick me up because I was stranded. A customer, who witnessed the entire incident offered to give me a ride to the College Park store and I accepted.
When Mr. ** returned to the phone, he informed me that the College Park store would be willing to send someone for me and apologized for Ms. **'s behavior. I would like to know is this acceptable behavior? What should have been done? Who dropped the ball? Who should I complain to? What is the policy and procedure concerning a mix-up in reservations?

I reserved a car through Hotwire.com with the consideration that I will get a Toyota Corolla. As I went over the Enterprise Rent A Car center, then there was big guy who asked me for my ID and Credit Card and then after printing some paper, he said "let me bring your car." Not any other word. After like 20 minutes he came inside sweating and said "your car is ready." I went outside it was Kia Soul. I do not like to go on a long trip in this car because it does not look like more comfortable to me. I said "I reserved Corolla. You do not have that car?" And he said "I do not have."
Then I said, "you can at least share your options and talk to me and allow me to choose from instead of forcing me to get the car you want to give me from that category that I selected online." And he said "oh I have another car." And I didn't like that Nissan because I do not like Nissan cars. Then I choose other car that I like and I pay more.
But that is not the point. The point is if Enterprise are getting reservations from online websites, then they should ask the customer that the category of cars you selected, "we have this, this option available. Which one you like to choose?" And also suggests that what are other better options available so the customer didn't get the feeling that he was pushed to take the car that the representative wants to give. I do not like this service.

I have been a fairly loyal Enterprise Customer over the last few years but unfortunately have had two hugely disappointing experiences in a row... the latter of which will likely mean that I never ever use Enterprise for my rental needs ever again. I have had two reservations in a row where I have shown up to pick up the vehicle that had been reserved and been told "sorry, we do not have any cars on the lot."
The first time this happened I was offered a Dodge RAM pickup truck instead of the Intermediate Vehicle that had been reserved, and even though I was driving all the way to Wisconsin (from Southern Ohio) and a large pickup truck would absolutely destroy my gasoline budget as well as the fact that my insurance for rental vehicles did not cover the rental of trucks, I obliged to taking the truck because I was on a huge time crunch and needed to get myself and a colleague on the road. (Of course I was offered Insurance through Enterprise for the truck at a hefty premium).
Most recently, I reserved an Intermediate level vehicle again and on the day of the rental I scheduled a pickup time for the afternoon with Enterprise in the morning. When I arrived at the location, the clerk at the counter started asking me all of the usual questions and took my driver's license as per usual. He then said "Hey you're lucky because we only have one car left on the lot and you can take it." Which was funny because it actually happened to be the same exact car that I drive every day, a Chevy Cruze, same color and everything. It was at about that moment that the manager walked through and said, "Hey, do not rent out that Chevy Cruze in the front, it is for a customer who has called two times to make sure their reservation is good and they are on their way." The clerk looked at me and said "Well now all I can offer you is a Ford Fiesta or a Van."
Having gotten eaten alive by gasoline expenses the last time I rented from Enterprise and ended up with a large truck. I was not interested in taking the van and as I am a pretty tall guy, I also was not relishing the idea of driving a Ford Fiesta with my knees in my chest. I remained calm and friendly as I asked the clerk if there would possibly be a vehicle at another Enterprise location, of which there are a few within ten minutes of the location that I was renting from, that might have the level of vehicle I had reserved in stock at their location. The clerk said maybe and that "I could call and ask."
I was the only customer in the store at this point and had been through the whole ordeal... so I thought it was odd that I was told that I could be the one to call and ask around for other cars while multiple clerks stood at the desk because the location I was at didn't have any cars, despite me holding a standing reservation. (Mind you, through all of this I was my perfectly chipper, friendly, and happy self, so I don't believe I had given a reason for then to not to want to help me.. but it felt like everyone in the store was paralyzed... I think, now, because they all knew how it was going to turn out).
I called the closest alternative Enterprise location and spoke with a manager on the phone. The manager checked and told me that I could come rent a car from them but that it would cost me more money because their prices were different than the location that I was at. I expressed my frustration at that concept to her, making sure to let her know I wasn't frustrated with her personally and I asked her if there was anything else that could be done and she put me on hold. I stood out in front of the location I was at for around 5-10 minutes (listening to a loop of a hold track which fervently described how "customer service was their specialty at Enterprise" and that they would go out of the way to always put their customers first, to say thank you for being an Enterprise Customer... which started to be amusing after I heard the loop for around the tenth time).
The woman I was speaking to on the phone at the other location came back on the phone and told me that there was nothing else that they could do and asked if I wanted the car. I asked if it would still be a large extra fee, she said "yes", so I said "no thank you" and that ended the conversation. I went back into the store and then asked if all the Enterprise Locations were owned by Corporate or if they were local franchises and that's why it felt like they were two separate companies I was working with. The Assistant Brand Manager said that they were all owned by corporate but that it was complicated because if they gave me a vehicle then they might be short and in the same situation later in the day, which I understood, but lamented about that being a terrible corporate business model instituting branches which have no incentive and in fact are discouraged from assisting other branches for the preservation of overall brand and corporate image.
Yikes! It was at this point, around 25 minutes in that I lamented and decided that I would take the Ford Fiesta, despite the uncomfortable nature of the drive I would be enduring. The clerk walked me out to the Fiesta, which looked like it had seen better days and was maybe one of the oldest cars in the fleet. As we walked around to the back of the vehicle, I noticed that the tags on the vehicle were well past expired... The clerk said that they all thought the new tags were in the store but that they couldn't find them. I wasn't about to take a vehicle with expired tags and go through getting pulled over, so I declined taking the Fiesta. I went back into the store and asked the Assistant Manager if there was anything else that could be done. He told me that I could take the Chevy Cruze to which I responded that I had heard the manager say that car belonged to someone else and that they had called to check if it was there and were on their way.
He insisted that I could take it and I told him that there was no way that I was taking a car that I knew was supposed to go to someone else and had specifically been promised to them (thinking in my head "what kind of a dirtbag does this guy think I am?"). I said "I cannot take that car" and he said "well just so you know, you have that option." He said that the alternative was that I could just sit in the store and wait for someone to bring a car back, which he reminded me might not even happen. Since I was captive at Enterprise without a vehicle and I was already late for work... I decided to just sit and wait. After I had sat for a while, the assistant manager remembered that the branch manager had been going to a body shop and might be bringing a car back with her. He called to see what the vehicle was. It was a midsize sedan (Chrysler 200) so he said that I could have that when it got back.
Around this time, two other customers walked in to the location to pick up rentals on a reservation. I actually started to feel really bad for the clerks working at the front because I knew of the potential for the storm that was coming. As each customer came in, the clerks took all of their information like normal, asking questions and taking driver's licenses, never mentioning that there were no cars on the lot. One couple begrudgingly took a minivan because they actually didn't even remember what kind of car they reserved. A woman and her son came in and the clerk said "we have a Ford Fiesta all ready to go for you!" That clerk hadn't been in the office at the time that I checked out the Fiesta, but the other clerks and the Assistant Manager who were listening didn't say anything! They allowed the clerk to talk to the woman all about the Ford Fiesta before finally the clerk saw that there was a hold indicated on a page in the computer and said he would have to check on that.
The Assistant Manager then mumbled to the clerk about the plates being expired. It was about this time that thankfully someone walked in the store and dropped return keys on the desk. The clerk offered the woman and her son the mid-size car that had just been returned and told them it would only take about ten minutes to clean. She sat and we actually had a great conversation about her job and her kid and then her car was ready and she left... I continued sitting in a chair. After about ten minutes, a clerk brought out the paperwork to get started on the rental for the Chrysler 200. I signed everywhere that was requested and then the clerk began asking me about my insurance. I told them that damage was covered through my credit card provider and that I would like to decline the extra insurance.
The clerk then went on and on about all of the liability associated with not taking their insurance and that no matter what happens, even if somebody else hits the car or anything under the sun happens that I would be at fault for all of the damage and that I should really take the insurance. I asked him how much it was (Super expensive!) and I very genuinely jokingly told him "ha, not unless you want to throw it in for free!" He awkwardly said "no I can't do it for free" and then said "so are you completely sure you don't want the insurance?"
I have never been sold the damage waiver with such heavy and hard fear mongering sales tactics before! Especially after I had been waiting in the store for over an hour. Is this a new Enterprise policy? In the moment I kept a positive attitude about it, but in hindsight, there's no better customer service tactic than to take a customer who is politely and patiently waiting for a car that was reserved, late for work, and fear mongering them to no end. I continued waiting in the store for a little over another hour, a few more mid-size vehicles were returned during this time. Finally, after a little over two hours of waiting in store, the assistant manager took me outside to the Chrysler 200. I obliged, still being polite and respectful as I fully realized that this issue is probably bigger than the employees at this store.
We checked out the vehicle (he was pushing that along uncomfortably fast though and seemed annoyed that I wanted to check the trunk and interior for any damage really quickly) and I left the store with a Chrysler 200, for which I payed the full rental price, which has a sticky brake pedal and an extremely high frequency tone coming from the sound system in the car, which I can cover up by playing music. If I could give this experience zero stars I certainly would. I missed checking in at work, which I promised a vendor multiple times that I would do, missed an appointment, and was late meeting a relative whom I hadn't seen in twelves years for dinner. I am the type of person who generally just forces myself to stay positive and have good customer service experiences, but I left this store feeling like my soul had been emptied out a little bit. :( That is a terrible feeling.

I asked them if I would receive the same rate the whole summer and I could keep the car through August and I was told yes, my rate is locked in for the whole summer. Well just last week, end of June, I get a call from them saying my car is due back the next day or I have to pay $2,200 a month now to keep the car, vs only $583 (what I had been paying monthly for April, May, and June)!!! I told them I was told I could keep the car at the same rate and they insisted I could not. So I returned the car simply because I am not going to pay their outrageous rate. Enterprise did a classic bait and switch with me! I am never renting from them again! I travel for work and rent cars a lot so they are losing a once loyal customer!
Casey, the manager, was really nice, but I felt like I was lied to because when he called me to return the car, he insisted he told me that June was the last month I would receive the $583 monthly rate, which was a lie. I was never told that and they called me and notified me the day before I was due a payment to them. When I returned the vehicle I told him it wasn't true that he told me that before and asked him to tell me the truth. He nodded and agreed it wasn't true; however, he didn't have a choice because Honda had a huge recall on airbags and it depleted their inventory, so they had to get top dollar for the rentals they do have. He apologized, but now I'm stuck without a car for two months because Enterprise doesn't want to honor their agreement.

Poor business ethics. I rented cars from Enterprise over a year back and after six months I saw an unauthorized charge of $40 on my Discover card. Absolutely no emails or letters from Enterprise stating the reason for the charge. It took me several phone calls over a period of three weeks to Enterprise to finally figure out that they did not honor Discover's cashback coupon. Discover immediately paid me back. Enterprise could have saved my time and frustration by just notifying me prior to charging my credit card.
The reason for this review is because the same thing happened again last week. Enterprise charged my credit card for $21.98. I haven't rented a car in over a year now. This is again an unauthorized transaction by the same location (756 S Millvale Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA). Again, absolutely no notification by phone/email/letter by Enterprise for charging my card. I am really frustrated and have to again spend my time figuring this out.
Just because Enterprise has your credit card information, they shouldn't be charging it as they wish without notifying their customer. I will no longer be renting from them and my advice to anyone who rents from them is to check their credit card for several years. Or just use a card which you can close soon after paying for the rental. Extremely poor business practice by Enterprise.

When I was renting a car from Enterprise the person behind the counter asked if I would like their fuel service and I asked what that was and he stated that instead of bringing the car back with a full tank that I bring it back and they would fill it up at a lower cost per gallon ($2.07). No hassle. I used probably less than 3 gallons of gas and when I got the bill it was for $37.57. When I questioned this they said that they charge for full tank fill up NO MATTER how much gas it actually took. When I said that is not what I was told, they essentially said prove it.

I had a long conversation with clerk explaining I did not want any extras, no extravagance in car, compact, least expensive rental car. "Just give me the mandatory fees rental requires for 2 days. I'm on the way to work and in a hurry." I'm trusting this clerk not to add extras. I made it very clear I was on a tight budget. She circled the 4 lines I needed to initial. I initialed without reading. Yes ALL MY FAULT. I'm getting a 2015 model car. Why would I want all these extras. I returned the rental and my fees are doubled due to extras they added. I have full coverage on my own vehicle and my husband works for a towing co.
Why in the world would I want added towing expense, extra insurance. That clerk was deceiving. I spoke with Manager which she handled very poor. I showed her the final $ amount the clerk had re-assured me I would be charged. All the Manager could say was "I'm sorry". Like it would have caused Enterprise to become broke by removing at least the towing fees. I had document signed by the clerk on final fee. Too bad that was not sufficient for that Manager.

I did an online reservation for a car. My husband and I would be the drivers. Once we got to the location to pick the car up they said we had to have a bill with our name and address. We went home to get that. Then we were told because the bill had a past due amount it could not be used. Then my husband returned home again to get another bill that was not acceptable. I then called from my job to find out what the problem was and what could be used in the place of a second bill. I then went online faxed them a cable bill, a utility and a current pay stub; after exhausting my husband running him back and forth, after all documentation was accepted I was told "maam I am sure we don't have any vehicles now."
I was suppose to leave for a road trip Sat. morning at 3 am. Now I will have to wait until sometime later that morning. I have rented from this location 3 or 4 times before. This is the most horrifying experience and hectic experience I have ever experienced from a place of business. I am call the corporate office. This is just unacceptable customer service.

I called on Tuesday 6/28/16 and reserved a car for the 4th of July holiday weekend. They got my reservation and gave me a confirmation number, everything was set. Then I received a call on 6/30/16 which was a voicemail stating that there was no car available for me for the dates I have chosen that there was a glitch in their system and my reservation was denied. Prior to this denial, I was told that with my confirmation number I was already promised a car. But I guess it was all a lie, so the day before I go on vacation I had to find another car rental place and due to the holiday it was pricey. So my overall experience with Enterprise 1-10 is a big fat 0, and zero stars for the bad quality. Lesson learned. Good luck to you all who go through this place.

I would like to say that I appreciate and love the outstanding service that Enterprise has given myself and my family every time I travel for the last 8 years. I have a passion for traveling and I have always been a loyal customer to Enterprise. I am also part of a Nationwide Fraternity with chapters in almost every state. This past weekend I realized that not all Enterprise employees operate with the same guidelines and standards of the CEO.
While my family and I were on vacation, my vehicle was parked when a drunk driver struck my vehicle. The morning after, I received a voicemail from Enterprise saying that the vehicle had been struck and Enterprise took the vehicle from my family. I did get insurance for the vehicle which I am covered from the beginning of the reservation. I did not get another vehicle so my family and I can get around, and most importantly I did not get any of the days reimbursed for days I did not have the vehicle in possession.
I paid for service in advance with the intent to use the vehicle. For the duration of the service, I did not get a replacement vehicle nor did I get any type of refund. After talking to the employees at Enterprise I was at a local location, I was completely disgusted by the quality of service and lack of empowerment to the employees and Managers on site. I am asking for some level of understanding as to why Enterprise refuses to reimburse my family for the service that was not fully met by Enterprise. I paid to get service and did not receive the entire amount paid for.
This type of behavior from professionals at Enterprise will continue to be the reason why Enterprise will lose revenue and push loyal customers such as myself away, and I will notify my network of professionals nationwide to stop using Enterprise for what has been transparent about the quality of their employees. I have attached pictures for verification purposes and I can only Thank God for not being inside my vehicle when this occurred.

1 out of 5 is generous. This is my first experience with Enterprise Rent A Car, and it is certainly the last. If the customer service isn't bad enough, with very little product knowledge on the phone, to the rude, unfriendly staff at the counter. I picked up a car from Naples Airport, to find that at some point in the six days since I reserved the car, the price had gone up 125 Euros! In addition to this, no one checked over the car with me at the beginning so I was left to my camera phone to spot what I could! I didn't drive the car much during the rental, only driving to the house I stayed in. However, when I returned they spotted two minor, and I mean minor scratches, and was subsequently charged 480 Euros (£400 or $530). They also spotted another scratch, at least 4 inches long that they previously hadn't documented, and tried to pin it on me.
I showed my photographs and was let off. However, they then spotted a strip of dirt, honestly dirt, and was about to file it as another scratch until I wiped it off with my finger. Crazy! I believe they were purposely trying to find scratches, whether there or not. Disgusting. Please stay away from this company. I know they are a large worldwide brand but they don't act like one. Zero out of five for every category, so poor.

Rented a car for the weekend and because we didn't want to use a credit card, they authorized $350 on the account (for a $106 total cost rental). Unlike other, more reputable businesses, Enterprise will let that money go completely through instead of merely authorizing it, and they won't do anything about it unless you dispute the charge (even after the car is returned). This happened TWICE so shame on me for thinking it would be any different the second time. Somebody needs to slap them with a heavy fee or something because they might as well be con-artists. Unacceptable. I understand authorizations and how they work, so I also know this is a REALLY shady business practice.

If I could give a Enterprise a zero star rating I would. I was involved in a car accident and my insurance company arranged for a rental car for me. I picked up a Ford F-150 from Enterprise on Monday, March 28, 2016 and I drove the vehicle directly home. The vehicle was dirty inside, but the location was busy, and I needed a vehicle. The next time that I drove that vehicle was that when I went to pick up dinner later that night. On my way back home the low tire pressure warning light came on. I pulled into a gas station and in addition to discovering the flat, I also discovered that there was no spare. We called Enterprise and then my insurance company. We have road side assistance with my insurance company and they arranged to have the vehicle towed back to my house.
The next day Enterprise sent a tow truck and it dropped me off at a Ford dealership to get the tire repaired. For whatever reason it was determined by the Ford dealership that the tire had to be replaced, and they didn't have the tire in stock. I don't know very much about tires, but I do know that the tow truck driver that took me to the Ford dealership inflated the tire and was able to drive it onto the tow truck, so how unrepairable could it have been. After waiting several hours, on which also happened to be my birthday, an Enterprise representative picked me up and took me to their location to receive another rental vehicle.
I then received a letter from Enterprise charging me for the flat tire, which I think is absolutely ridiculous, especially since the spare was missing. Either those are defective tires on that truck or the person who had it before me drove that truck where they shouldn't have and damaged the tires. I drove it a very small amount on paved well maintained roads before the tire went flat.
In addition, between that night when the flat occurred and the next day, I lost a lot of my time unnecessarily, which I was never compensated for. If the location had done their job and knew there was a missing spare, I would not have had to have waited at a gas station for two hours while waiting for a tow truck, because the spare was missing, nor would I have had to wait several hours at the Ford dealership to be picked up to get a new vehicle. If they inspected the vehicle at all and looked at the condition of the tires, perhaps this entire fiasco would have been avoided.
However, it didn't end there. I responded to the Enterprise Damage Recovery Unit that I didn't feel that I should be held liable for the fee associated with replacing the flat tire. They responded that they determined that I was. Not long after that I received an updated claim. The updated claim was not only was charging me for the flat tire, but also for the missing spare (that was already missing when I picked up the vehicle), an oil change, a fee of $70.37 for diminished value, and a admin fee of $50.00. That is absolutely obscene! I can't believe that Enterprise would have the nerve to try to charge me for those items! I wonder how many other people they have done this to and succeeded!

It was a horrible experience with the car rental. I understand how cars could experience malfunction along the way, but if the follow-up customer service wants to call and make excuses and accuse us for being the one to blame, then don't bother calling us!! We were driving from Michigan to Washington DC. And when my mom and I got to midway in Pennsylvania, the "low tire pressure" light lit up. We stopped at every service plaza on the way, trying to pump the tire, but the light still won't go away.
The lady on the phone, following up with our experience with Enterprise, accused us for running over road hazards or a nail. Lady, if there's a hole in the tire, we won't be able to drive it from Penn State all the way to Washington DC without having a complete flat tire! The tire looked ok, but the light lit up with no warning. We called road side service, but they want us to just drive to the nearest enterprise rental, which closes in an hour. So we decided to just drive to our destination and switch to a new car at the airport. Since I have to be in DC for a workshop at Georgetown University, we were kind of in a hurry.
What's more, later on in the day, when it got dark. The dashboard light went off. So did the headlights! When we got to the mountain area, where there's only a one-way street highway! We can't see anything, nor could we stop, because cars are running towards us on the opposite lane, and narrow roads on the mountain side. We had to follow cars in front of us to get off that mountain.
Enterprise at the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport was kind enough to switch us to a different car. People at the enterprise were nice, and didn't give us too much hard time. But the major disappointment was sending a lady that didn't think they do wrong. "I am sure you experience malfunction with your vehicle" she said. No lady, my 2004 Honda haven't given me crap for 10 years. My brother took the car for work in another city, that's the only reason we had to rent your 2014 Volkswagen, and already giving us crap.

"Well, I hope you give us another chance" after accusing us of the malfunction of the car. "No chance in hell, lady. Not with that attitude!" while listening to her long long excuses, I was running these thoughts in my head. "I just want to make sure the "customer service" is alright." explained the lady. "Humm no matter how good your people are, if the car is gonna risk our safety, I would have to kindly decline." My family have been customers of Enterprise for years. But after this experience, I think I will go with some other company who won't come up with excuses for their mistake or accuse their customers of their car not being functional.

Enterprise rental car in the Fort Lauderdale Airport on the Friday before Memorial day was the Best rental car experience my wife and I have ever had. From the web site to make the reservation to the parking garage where Brittany offered a selection of cars available in the category that we had requested, this was an awesome experience. Quick, no hassle check in, friendly personnel, easy to follow directions and instructions. The car was clean and full of fuel. The process was so smooth and quick. I had to ask my wife if we were done. Enterprise rental car is my first choice when traveling and has always been a pleasant and affordable experience. Thank you Fort Lauderdale Enterprise at the airport.

I rented a car from Enterprise on 5/14/2016 to 05/16/2016. I received a bill/notice that the car was damaged or in an accident. I return the car on 5/17/16, paid the extra day. The agent and I did an inspection of the car for damages. No damages. We signed off on a close out ticket. I also received my refund deposit. It was reported that the damage happened on 5/16. I was in VA at that time. When I went to my local branch the damage date changed to 5/17. Impossible, the close out ticket and the agents signature that the car of in good condition, plus refund deposit. I do remember I needed a ride home, so a Hispanic man drove me home in the rental car I just turned in. I'm thinking maybe that person had an accident on his way back to Enterprise (just a theory).
No one can explain how that damage occurred on that vehicle. I spoke to the auto collision company who fixed the car. He asked me how did I get the paperwork of the estimate to fix the car. I also called my insurance co. They said they did not receive a claim nor will they pay out because this sounds like a scam. I called the branch manager today. No explanation. He said he will take care of the matter today. I informed him I need a letter stating I am not liable for any damages. I've been a gold member with Enterprise for many years. Enterprise is okay but I don't think I will be using this rental company again. They will not compensate me nor give me an extra day of rental.

I called the Howell Mill Atlanta Georgia location around 9 AM confirming my reservation. I requested a 12 noon pick up from a location within a 5 mile radius. I was told no one was available to pick me up and there will be no cars available until 3 PM that day. The lady assisting me assured me that at 3 PM she would call and have someone come to the location where I was to pick me up and further assist me. 3 PM came and went no one ever called. No email, no text ,no phone call, no communication whatsoever. At around 4:15 I finally called to check the status on the situation I was told that there was nothing in the system under my name and that there still weren't any cars available. After providing my personal information and being on hold for quite a lengthy amount of time the gentleman I spoke with comes back and says "OK we have one car available we'll send someone out to pick you up within 20 minutes".
About 20 minutes goes by and I decide to just simply walk into the branch. Upon stating my name the lady at the counter assisting me says "oh I remember speaking with you earlier. I'm sorry I didn't call you back I was at lunch." She then proceeds to assist me entering the information into the system only to then tell me that there was a red flag on my account and that a car cannot be rented to me until this hold was lifted. She provided me with the customer service number and claim number so that I can get the matter rectified. Upon calling the number provided the representative explained that it was a mistake and the hold should be lifted and will be lifted immediately. That was far from the case. I proceed back to the counter to be assisted. The lady that assisted me prior was now working with a new customer a man begins to assist me.
I explain to him the situation and state that the representative just told me that there was an error on my account and that the hold should be lifted. He then communicates to me that in fact it is not lifted and refuses to service me. I told him that I just spoke with a representative from their claims department communicating the circumstance and that she communicated to me that the hold would be lifted immediately. He then proceeds to argue back-and-forth, refusing service, being very rude and belligerent unnecessarily. I asked the man his name Jumanji he stated. I then asked to speak with the manager. Unimaginably shockingly enough he was in fact the MANAGER carrying on in such an unprofessional, unsophisticated manner lacking basic etiquette, management or communication skills.
I asked was there someone else who can assist me since he clearly wasn't, he offered no assistance, no alternatives, no options, no suggestions, no nothing just a piss poor juvenile attitude, broken English and unprofessional low class service to follow. He continues on a rant stating that this is his business and he's refusing to service me.
Last I checked Enterprise was a franchise. Contrarily according to him he owned the location and everything in it. I've known Enterprise to pride themselves on superior first class customer service in my past experience. Yet the nightmare I experienced at this location was quite the contrary. A complete and utter disaster. The level of professionalism lacked from the very beginning and continued on throughout my entire stay. I was extremely disappointed and Highly dissatisfied with the level of service provided or complete lack thereof. I will be reporting my concerns to the Better Business Bureau and taking my business to Hertz going forward. If you're considering this location save yourself the disparity and don't.

I ordered a particular car and was given a totally different car. Was told they could never guarantee the car that I ordered! When I complained it fell on deaf ears. Also I called into the premises in Limerick and enquired about booking a car 15 days in advance of needing it. They were not a bit helpful plus told me they would contact me a few days beforehand. I never heard from them.
In giving them another chance to redeem themselves from what is a very poor service, I hired a car recently - I was given the wrong car which I took as I needed a car, but on the return day they rang me wanting to know how long I would be returning the car as they needed it. I was well before the arranged time. The sales representative was speaking on the phone to me while I was entering their premises with the keys, needless to say was red faced In front of 2 other customers when I confronted him on why he felt the need to ring me. They also overcharged me for diesel and I was told that this is their policy. I was charged petrol prices which are much more expensive and it was a diesel car. I wouldn't recommend this crowd to anybody. They most certainly failed to redeem themselves. Rude staff with absolutely no customer service skills.

Greetings ConsumerAffairs, I have been left with no way out with Enterprise. I have been with this company for 10 years and I have never been done the way I was done the week of June 3, 2016. It had been a while since I had rented a vehicle, I rented one from Savannah, GA. The workers were nice and courteous. They went up and beyond the call of duty... And then it happen my family and I were on our way back home from a business trip and we had a blowout. We almost lost our lives but thank God for great driving skills. I was delighted that I had paid for roadside assistance and we called for a truck to come and change the tire. That was around 4 in the afternoon, we didn't get back on the road until after 12 o'clock midnight. I was suppose to return the car on the 3rd - I couldn't because I was stranded in the middle of nowhere in GA. So, I returned it the next day.
I was given two days supposedly of free rentals only to find out that Enterprise had hit my account for another $300.00 after taking $500.00. I explain that I would have had the van back by Friday if we had not had the blowout. The Enterprise associates seemed to understand. Then Monday rolled around and it was raining cats and dogs. I don't trust myself driving in the rain so, I called for Enterprise to come get their van. They assured me that they would and no one showed up until Tuesday evening and yes you got it I was charged for that day too. But, I take full blame for the incident. I trusted Enterprise workers to do the right thing and apparently the right thing was to Rape my account for as much money as they could. And unfortunately, that happens all too many times. There is no customer loyalty any more. I have also tried to reach out to the corporate office only to be given the runaround.

I booked a car with Enterprise online for two days with the Jeffersonville, PA location. My rental was for two days and I returned the vehicle on Sunday, May 22, 2015 as originally planned. After trying to figure out why I was charged so much I realized they charged me for 3 days. When I called to inform the local office about this I was told my reservation said 3 days. And even though I returned the vehicle in two days they go according to the reservation. This is an outright lie but in any case I told him I had my email confirming my reservation was for two days. He told me to bring it in for him to see and he would reimburse me. I did, he did not. Finally I called the corporate office and was told they would address my concern.
Well, was just refunded 49.18. I'm not sure what that amount is because my daily rental for the car alone was 45.99. Where is the insurance and all the taxes they charge you. I should have been refunded twice that amount. I will never use Enterprise again. If corporate allows this type of behavior there is no way to trust a company like this. And if I was not refunded my entire amount corporate allow the behavior.

Online reservation is a fake. I got this message making my pickup truck reservation "Thanks GIGI, your reservation is confirmed. We look forward to seeing you 11 June, 2016, RESERVATION CONFIRMED. Confirmation Number: **." I was inspired enough to call the branch just to double-check and I was told they have no trucks available, advising me to call other branches in Metro Van. If you rely on the online reservation you could easily get screwed.
I am an Enterprise Plus member, I usually rent and pick the car from South Vancouver branch (near to my place) or interior BC airports. Calling S. Van. branch this morning and asking for a truck I was told they have no available trucks but they can bring a truck from a nearby Enterprise location. However he refused to give me a firm reservation even though there were available trucks at the Richmond branch; he was expecting one of his truck return, scheduled for afternoon, so he said he cannot confirm any reservation for me at that time but there is a chance to call me back in the afternoon.
He actually preferred to lose a client rather than allow a different Enterprise branch to rent thru his office. Since my trip was connected to already-scheduled flights I couldn't wait for a potential afternoon confirmation so I called myself the Richmond branch and made a firm reservation with them. Asking the S. Van. branch manager why he refused to do the same thing I did by calling Richmond branch he replied "I am running my branch, I don't need any advice from you."
Therefore, I definitely switched to Budget starting today. U-haul are reliable too but they charge additional services they don't provide. In addition Enterprise have: 1) rocket rates for pickup trucks in wintertime in interior BC, 2) very poor customer service at most interior BC airports (other rental company are not much better), 3) blind returning policy even staff is there (if a warm body happen to be at the airport when you return the car, more likely he/she will refuse to walk around and visually check the car and sign for it); to be clear, I'm not talking about mechanical or hidden problems. You just hand them the key and leave the car in the parking lot hoping nothing bad happens.

We arrived to pickup the van at 9 am only to be told the only way to accept our form of payment which was a debit card, we needed two forms of proof of residence in the form of some type of utility bill or bank statement. Credit cards don't require this unheard of type of treatment. After presenting two PDF statements the uncaring individual working that day, we were informed along with the two other people there attempting to rent that if we had any unpaid balance on either of the utility bill statements they could not be used.

I rent from Enterprise Rent A Car, Rodney Parham, about 6 to 7 times per year. Each and every time it is a different experience - some positive, but without fail, one always has to watch every step of the way. Today for instance, I reserved the car about two weeks ago. I go in with the confirmation number and it takes 3 people about 7 minutes to find the reservation. What? Once they do, there's some rapadebop about how my Enterprise Plus number is kicking out the reservation. Finally, and I do mean about 15 minutes of standing around later, they get a contract and tell me it is going to be even less than what I reserved. Yeah! I think.
Then, we walk around the car and Jimmy tries to convince me to buy more insurance, but I won't budge. Then I look at the contract and it is a full $60 more than what he told me it would be. He takes it out of my hands and about another 10 minutes later, I'm finally out of there at the price I expected. But why all the game playing? Why all the shell games? Why the pursuit of trying to put something over on me? All I can say is watch them every step of the way. I know he is in training, and other than these points, he was a nice guy but I felt very disrespected and like I was being flushed out for a overcharge.

I travel to the UK about 3 times a year from Canada (I am originally from the UK). I rent a car each time at Heathrow airport so I am familiar with renting cars. I make a point of doing a walk around and documenting any issues. On my most recent trip at the end of May 2016 I rented a Hyundai i40 from Enterprise at Heathrow. The damage report said no marks on vehicle.
On pickup there were a series of scratches rear passenger wheel arch. These covered an area of at least 4in by 8in. They were not superficial. I point this out to the agent. She insisted it was within the limits of allowed damage. I did not agree and suggested that this was too big. She had a measuring card which they use to size damage. I used the card to show her. The damage was much larger than her card so I again told her that this was too large a damage and needed documenting. She again disagreed and told me it was fine and did not need documenting.
When she gave me the contract to sign I marked the damages onto the diagram myself. At this she became confrontational and in a "off mood" and told me I should not have documented the damage. It was now going to involve "paperwork" because I had documented the damage to the car. The agent completed the contract and I departed.
When I returned the car the returning agent surveyed the car while I unloaded luggage. She came to me and asked me to come and look at the side of the car. She pointed out the damage and told me it was not acceptable and that it was going to be a problem. I told her it was not a problem. She insisted it was. I then asked to look at the contract sheet with the damage diagram. She asked me to wait. She returned 5-10 minutes later and told me because the carbon matched the top sheet (they keep) with the damage indicated it was OK.
I asked her why I was told the damage was not a problem at pickup. I told her the agent said it did not need documenting. She could not produce a Manager to discuss the issue with. She could not provide an explanation. I was admittedly very upset and went to the pickup desks to talk to the pickup agent to ask why there was such a discrepancy. Instead a "greeter" at the door insisted I could not go in and that she was a manager and could answer my questions. Her explanation was that the damage was "in the system" so it would not have been a problem. This was not true as the returning agent had insisted it was a problem. Are the agents not trained well enough and did she not realize the damage was big enough to document? Unfortunately I doubt this as I was adamant that the damage was large enough even by their own measuring card system.
My only other conclusion is that there is a scam running at this location. Customers are being told that damage is not significant only to then be hit up for it on return. Customers returning cars with flights to catch are easy prey and I suspect most just let it go in order to get their flights on time rather than stay to deal with the issue. Insurance pays. Sporadically I read or hear of similar scams but I never expected to have a near miss of being scammed at this location. I hope this is looked at as I feel if I had not insisted on documenting the damage I would be paying for it now. I hope the company reviews the practice at this location in case it has wayward employees there at this time.

The Enterprise Rental Car in San Antonio on Fredericksburg Rd: I contacted agent prior to making online reservation. I asked if they would be able to pick me up if I rented a car on Saturday. I gave my location, approx. 2.8 miles away, and she related this would be no problem. I then proceeded to reserve a rental car online. On Friday am, I received a call from this same agent to confirm my reservation and confirm payment method. I again asked about being picked up. Now she tells me they are "short-staffed" on Saturdays thus could not provide this service. I was disappointed, but thought perhaps I could take city transit or walk.
This morning I waited for the bus along with my son. Because we are new to city transit, we ended up standing near the incorrect bus stop and watched the bus drive right on past. We then decided to walk and made it over a mile, but with the traffic and Texas heat, didn't think we'd be able to make it. I called Enterprise and to tell the agent that we missed the bus and we on foot... that we'd be late. Ironically while waiting for several minutes for an agent to answer, I listened to the repetitious recording stating that they are a "family-owned business in a corporate world" and that they have multiple locations so they can pick you up at the office or home, etc. BS!!!
When the agent answered, her response simply, "okay." I had to boldly ask her if someone could come meet us half-way. I told her we were near the dental school in the medical center. She reluctantly said she would have a coworker meet us at some random apartments... I had no idea where they were as numerous complexes in the area. Anyway, beggars can't be choosers, so we headed in that direction. After passing several complexes, we found the one she recommended. After 10 min waiting, decided to just head home. The agent then called to tell me her coworker had circled the apartment complex and did not find us. I told her we were heading home... to cancel. Horrible experience. I chose this company merely because they advertise they can pick you up.

They sent him an email stating the cost would be about $338 and we would both be covered. We tried to go the Friday before getting the car to make sure we wouldn't run into any problems. Marcus, one of the assistant managers helped us that day said we had to bring the paperwork back when we got the car which was fine but that was all he told us. When we went back to get the car of course we ran into problems which was what I was trying to avoid. The price was not $338. You have to have full coverage which they didn't tell us and if you don't you have to buy their coverage and if you're not married then the only one to drive is who has every bill in their name.
I don't know the guy's name whom we dealt with at first when getting the car but he went to lunch right in the middle of it. So we dealt with Zach another assistant manager. He tells us the price of the car with the deposit of $150 plus the coverage was $475. So we thought ok that's what they charged our card at the time. So we had it for 10 days, Zach had me sign for things I wasn't charged for but he said I was at the time. So when we came back they said we still owed for the car which they are suppose to charge everything upfront but they didn't apparently.
None of them are on the same page and how Zach and Marcus became assistant managers is beyond me. They are very incompetent and unprofessional. They advertise all these great deals but it's not at all what you pay. It may be in the fine print on tv but honestly who the hell can read that??? It should be made aware when you set up the reservation. Honestly I wouldn't be so pissed if everything was told to begin with. Instead they just look like complete and totally incompetent idiots!!!

When I had to make a reservation for a car over the phone with a customer service representative due to the fact that I need a car to go to work, it was apparently okay. However after a few hours I went to West Patrick Street in Frederick, Maryland to pick up the car. That was when I started being treated unfairly. First of all, the so-called "customer service representative" who is apparently a ** started arguing that the negotiated price over the phone could not be applied. Secondly he decided to give me a dirty, smelly car as a customer. Since I commented that the car was very dirty he told me that it was an upgrade because he did not have on stock the size that I requested. Third, while inspecting the car I noticed a scratch on the front bumper to the right side. He told me that was not important for being in a bumper.
So now, after one week, I called him to request to extend on the same credit card on file and I explained that I may have to do that again until I get my personal car. Finally I used the car for one month from 04/14 to 05/15. Payment has been applied during the whole process. Now after the fact I came to return the car. He told me that the scratch was not there and that he is going to call my insurance and charge my CC for deductible. When I tried to remind him, he said that I was anywhere to be found , plus he does not remember for 1 month how the car was. In addition, I never paid for the car (make no mistake that bank statement account can prove the contrary) and finally my address and phone number was wrong.
In other words, he humiliated me as a robber in front of every other customers. I was speechless. I had to remind him that I should be treated as a customer in the most respectful way. It was a waste time. He kept going and at some point he passed to other things. When I asked him if there was anything that I needed to do before leaving, he handed a paper that he wanted me to sign as an acknowledgement that I broke the car. I refused to sign and he went back behind the front desk interacting with others.
I did not want to believe such wrongdoing in so many ways could be possible with a company like Enterprise. At the end, I noticed for sure Enterprise is the worst car rental service. They only care about making money anyway possible against people like me. A good evidence is the fact that nobody contacted me in regards to this matter. They make the most they could under false allegations. Customer service, fairness, and accurate information are not part of their concern.

As a result of a class action lawsuit (Lee, et al v. Enterprise Leasing Company), I received two vouchers, each good for one free rental day for up to a full sized car. I made a reservation for a full sized car to be picked up at their Ridgecrest, CA office and returned to SNA airport in Orange County. The Ridgecrest office would not honor the two vouchers for two days, kept BOTH vouchers and only credited me with a one day "free" rental. They would not return one voucher so I could use it for another day. Further, the Ridgecrest office gave me a small car instead of the one I requested. I have been in contact with Enterprise and tried to upgrade my car while in the Los Angeles area, however, they refused, stating I had to deal with the Ridgecrest office. All of this took place on May 31, 2016 and June 1, 2016.

Walked in on the scheduled day, signed the papers and paid for the deposit. It was only after this, that they informed me that there wasn't a car available (seriously?). They explained that a vehicle would be ready shortly and they would drop it off at my location. 5 hours go by no updates. I cancelled the rental. They wasted enough of my time. Will not do business in the future. BTW glad I didn't drive their vehicle after reading all the damage scam reviews.

Renting from Enterprise in Manhattan, KS was the worst experience of car rental in our life. After renting the car for a week and returning it in the same condition it was, we were told there was one hail dent on the roof. Neither my husband nor I could see it but they assured us it was there and that it was not there when we rented it. This was unbelievable as they indicated that 'because we chose not to take out their insurance' repairing this was our responsibility. This car sat in our garage the entire time we had it if it were raining. Secondly, there were NO hail storms at our home that week. We would have had no problem with taking care of any issues caused while the car was in our possession. Because we could not see this when we rented it nor could see it when we returned it, this is a joke. I wonder how many more people are paying for this same 'dent'.

The rental car pickup and return from the Sarajevo Airport Enterprise Agent was the worst experience in my life. We have been double charged for insurance, we had to pay additional insurance at the border to cross, then pay another fee of insurance at the return. For everything we have been charged twice and the deposit we are still hoping to have it back. The inspection (although we have full insurance) they have conducted on our return, on the car was something to be seen. Two people have walked around, under, over the car to see if they can find a scratch or a damage. I wanted to claim a complaint to Enterprise since the agent would not care, interestingly the web page of Enterprise does not have section to claim complaints. You can only ask the predefined questions in web. I don't recommend to anyone to go to Sarajevo Enterprise.

Definitely not going to this location anymore... They have E-Z PASS jammers in their cars (they won't inform you at all), so if one tries to use their own E-Z PASS - will end up paying $200 to toll authorities (in my case). One have to call upfront even though they have reservation and have to be prepared to wait for couple of hours (to get for the same rate) or end up paying $90.00 which is their "discounted rate " as they want to help you out, otherwise go home empty handed.

May 27, 2016 - It is hard to believe! So do not reserve a car at Enterprise!! I had rented a car at that joint before (good experiences) - I had a reservation form filled out completely again for this Memorial Day weekend - and was happy again to have found a reasonable offer... Until I wanted to get the car. With my reservation confirmation, my passport, my ID-Card, my driving license I once again entered the Enterprise rental car joint on Hylan Boulevard, Staten Island, on time to receive a car. But this time, there were problems suddenly.
Everything got checked over and over again. I have been asked for two identifications at first, so I handed them my international Passport and a ID card as well as a NY ID. I have been asked, whether I would be employed. Yes, I am a teacher at the UN International School. Then my credit card was checked, no, better not a debit card, better the Mastercard credit card. Finally they found my drivers license not valid. It would not be an American. I asked Pete, the manager, if that could be true: Enterprise wouldn't rent a car to drivers/tourists coming in for a vacation, if they hadn't an international license? Yes so, was the answer. I do not believe it. I checked Budget cars as well as Hertz - their German passports are accepted gladly - no problem at all! I don't understand yet this kind of a weird policy - but it is totally disgusting. Avoid it! Their confirmations aren't worth the paper.

I made a reservation 2 months in advance and the fine print reads that Enterprise will accept Major credit cards, debit cards, money orders or cash. It doesn't state which company will or will NOT accept what form of payment. At this point I have to find out at the last minute that I need a credit card for a passenger vehicle. How will my family and I get to take our vacation. In my mind cash, debit and money orders is or shall I say was consider a considerable form of payment as long as you get your money. It's very difficult to find a rental vehicle at the last minute. Not everyone has a credit card.
A business such as this one should accommodate all customers. It'll always be good and bad customers but everyone shouldn't have to suffer. It sucks but that's the way the world works. Enterprise needs to find a middle ground so that all customers are satisfied. I'm 1 customer who has never had an issue with them until 2016. Sad. Please find another solution to this problem. The entire Enterprise business.

I book with this local company 2-3 times a year. Today I got a surprise phone call to cancel my 3 day booking for a cargo van. "Sorry we don't have a van for you. It was in an accident." No replacement offered, nothing. Just a number to call. So I called. After 15 minutes on hold, they said management would call me back. I still had 30 minutes to rent a van before 6 so I drove there to 17725 Yonge St...explained my problem...her solution? "Let me call and try to get you a rental. I don't have one." But I say "there is a van in the parking lot". She says "it's not mine." Is this good customer service to a regular renter? I think not.
To make matters worse I get home and have a call from Discount saying he was phoning about my complaint. What?? It's a different company or so I thought. Nope. At least he was nice to call but knew nothing about my rental. I rented thru Enterprise Newmarket on Yonge St. He was Discount rental within steps but his head office passed along my phone number. Why??? No vans are available for me to pick up at 8 am tomorrow. Do they think I am stupid?? Newmarket has so many rentals available. I found one in seconds, picked it up before 6 pm, fully paid til Sunday, no issues. Nice, clean, new van. Thanks Thrifty Newmarket for coming to my rescue. I will use you in the future!!
