Offer pickup service rates are affordable and great customer service. Company offers special rates for weekends, all in all like this company especially pickup SVC. Usually crowded but worth the wait.

My ins co took care of the rental as was having car body repair. Enterprise called me and I told them I want a small car... They pulled up in a mini van and told me to take it, they didn't have anything else. There was a car dropped off at the car repair and the service mgr asked the Enterprise man to let me have it. He said "NO, it might need an oil change." I'm going to drive the car 20 miles in 5 days... I called corporate and they were no help, just that they would file my complaint. After 1/2 hour, the Enterprise man let me have it and wouldn't even show me how to start the car as my vehicle uses a key. Very rude and after that. There is no other close by rental agencies so got you!!! I'll take a car next time.

Overall the Enterprise staff is usually nice. Their check-in and checkout process isn't as good as it could be. Both processes take a lot of the consumer's time. Their vehicles aren't the cleanest. They should differentiate vehicles used by pet owners and no pet owners. Not all Enterprise sites can deliver your rental. Beware of "false" advertisement that Enterprise will pick you up or deliver your rental to you. Not true because not all Enterprise sites can do that.

I wish I could leave less than 1 star. THE MANAGER and ZACH were terrible. HORRENDOUS. AWFUL. I called the corporate office who wanted to speak with the manager who refused to get on the phone with them. He refused to get on the phone because he knew he was going to be told something that was different than what he told me... They confirmed my reservation, had the keys in their hand had my credit card, ID, etc. And then decided they flat out just didn't want to rent to me because I pissed the manager off. I pointed out that he won't help, that he could at least offer to get someone on the phone.
Corporate office apologized a dozen times for the Boise airport enterprise and their manager. They acknowledged a dozen times that he was flat out wrong. Even the escalation department could not understand why their manager did nothing to resolve an error on enterprise part. They couldn't even get the guy to speak with them on the phone. He literally went outside while they were asking to speak with them so he wouldn't have to talk with them. He refused to take the phone. I have a video recording of Zach that I would LOVE to send to the district manager. THIS IS NOT some gray area where there must be more to it. Just a couple of boys behind the counter on a power trip...
Corporate office was helpful and professional and took care of things in a matter of minutes but management at Boise Airport won't lift a finger to help when they mess up... Manager needs some training in management. Zach got thrown under the bus by his manager. He didn't even know what he was supposed to be doing... Zach stepped in and made a situation that was 100% resolved into an issue... Again. It was to the point I recorded it. I WOULD LOVE TO SHARE THIS VIDEO.

It took me a couple of weeks to decided on Enterprise Rental Cars. But I did call the rental cars in my area and ask question of policy and rates. Insurance through their program for cars rented anything hidden fees. The Enterprise Rental Car in my area answered everything I needed and more. They will pick you up and bring you home for free. The other agency couldn't pick me up. So check out where you will be renting the car at and made the phone calls. Their websites don't always have everything you need. Asking the question also help me see how they handle customer service. Enterprise Car Rental for me.

This horrible, horrible disgusting business on Third Street in Jacksonville Beach Florida has turned my life into a living hell!!! I had one of their cars for two days then changed it to a week only to discover on Friday the scumbags working there had my car towed off the lot just 3 days after I left in my rental!!! These disgusting lowlifes pulled this ** when every time I've rented from there I've left my car!!! An employee named Jamie knew I was leaving it and she even knew where I was parking it!!! When I called to keep the car longer I asked if I should move my car and was told no!!!
Then just 4 days after renting the car I bought a ** car at Enterprise!!! I then turned their car over to my salesman who had it returned right there on Atlantic Blvd. So I called the scumbags at the location I had rented from a few 5 days earlier on my birthday on August 11th to let them know what was happening and again asked if I should move my car and was told no so I said I'd get it as soon as I could arrange something but the disgusting losers had already had my car towed on 8/14/17!!!
The Enterprise salesman gave me a ride to that location on Friday August 18th so he could evaluate my car towards a trade-in only to discover my car was missing and the little ** who I dealt with was just total trash!!! The poor salesman took me back to the sales location where I waited for well over two hours for two separate calls from the area manager who has to be the world's biggest scumbag to see how he was going to fix this **!!! It turned out he would do nothing for me!!! In the meantime because of you pieces of garbage my cars has been impounded as of now for 12 ** days!!!
There is apparently a mangled sign about towing at only one of the entrances and it was the one I didn't use. Not that I would have even noticed it since every time I've ** rented there over the last 15 years I have left my car right there in that parking lot!!! Disgusting filthy trash who have completely ** up my life!!! And get this!!! 9 days later and no response from reporting it to their corporate headquarters!!!

I've used Enterprise for 20 years because of their customer service. They really came through again when I picked up my new car in another city and needed a car to get there. When dropping off my rental the agent was pointing out damage that the initiating agent didn't note. I pointed this out but they said I was responsible for it. I told them to take it up with the initiating agent... I wasn't even charged for the rental. What a company!

DO NOT RENT FROM THIS OFFICE! I like Enterprise, but the workers at this office are crooks! I rented a car for work after someone rear-ended my personal car. When I started the rental, they said that their printer was not working so they could not give me any paperwork to sign. I told them that I just wanted to pay for the rental - no insurance coverage - because my auto insurance covers it and I was to be reimbursed for the rental costs only. They agreed. I was in a hurry because I was late for work so I had no other option.
When I returned the car over a week later, they said the printer was still not working and they would have to email me the receipt. It took about 20 minutes for the email to arrive at which point I was home. When I saw they overcharged me, I called the office and they said they would refund the difference immediately. When that did not happen, I went back to the office and they again said that the difference would be refunded but it would take a few days to process. After a week, no refund.
I contacted my credit card company and disputed just the amount overcharged. During the investigation phase, Enterprise charged me AGAIN. My credit card company said this constitutes fraud, canceled my card and sent me a new one with a new number. I later received a letter from my credit card company saying the matter was now closed.
Now this Enterprise office charged me yet AGAIN! When I called my credit card company they said the merchant can resubmit a charge through Mastercard even though the card number has changed. Now I'm on the phone with my credit card company again and they are suggesting I file a police report since they keep running my card with no signature.

Enterprise will pick you up - ONLY if you are within a mile or less from their business. I called to rent a car, but was told "it's too far to pick you up", even though the garage I was at was 8 miles away. VERY disappointed.

I have rent a car from Aachen Julicher Strasse, after I delivered the car back I have realized that there is a small scratch which possible happen in the Auto park after I have parked the car to the place near my home. The guy in there told me that we need to take 850 euro from my credit card cause of the liability, does not matter if it is happen by someone when you park your car in the auto park.
But he said "we will transferred it back to your credit card after expertise report." I said OK to them cause normally just polishing enough which cost max 50-100 euro. 3 days later they have send me a expertise report which say 1420 euro, just for a small scratch!!! (It could be seen from the picture below) Will I have to pay for this?
I have no idea where it happened but it was a slight scratch that would have fixed with a simple polishing process. I feel like that I have robbed (overcharged) by Enterprise and there is nothing to do cause they have signed me some documents which was written in German. It should not be so easy to take customer money and lost the company respect! Cause It is not the only rental car company and that's why I will never rent a car from them again. It is just a ridiculous. The calculation method and price they have charged to me.

I rented a 9 seats car from Alamo (via RentalCars.com) from 27 May to 8 Jun 2017 at Heathrow Airport. It was Enterprise Rent A Car handled the administrative work for the rental. The car insurance has an excess amount of GBP500 which I paid up front. I returned the car on 8 Jun, 0741 with a dent but the paint work still perfectly intact. It was clearly stated in the Vehicle Accident Report “a dent to the OSR of the vehicle above the wheel arch" issued by Enterprise Rent A Car when the vehicle was returned. I did not even notice the dent as it was really very small. The staff told me it was likely hit by another car parked beside me.
When I received the refund from Enterprise for the excess amount on 17 Jun via my credit card, I was shocked that it was only GBP 28.50, ie the repair costs for a small dent was GBP471.50. I did not receive any statement on the repair charges. Followed my queries on the exorbitantly high repair costs, some pictures of the car taken on 9 Jun (one day after the car was returned) were sent to me. I was very angry to see that some pictures showing other serious damages to the car (other than a small dent). I then realized that I was bearing the repair costs for other serious damages caused by someone from 8 Jun 0741 to 9 Jun.
Again, I communicated with Enterprise requested them to investigate the case. Their reply was that the vehicle was not damage when I took over, so the damages were caused by me! It is ridiculous! Why should I be responsible for damages caused by others? I appealed again on 12 Aug to request for acceptable explanations or to reduce the repair costs significantly. I also indicated that this issue is still outstanding since I first communicated with them on 8 Jul and I do not wish to drag it further. I requested for reply by 16 Aug before some other appropriate actions are taken. To date, no answer from Enterprise. Where is the justice to a tourist to UK? Perhaps Alamo or RentalCars might want to help us. Thank you!

An employee call me Friday morning at 8:30 and told me that they didn't have a car for me because I put in a car at 10:30 that night before and it was not confirmed at the office. She liked I had a confirmation number. Then I call back and a Brenda said they just didn't have no cars and I will get a car when one come in. I had to go online and call Enterprise in Tucker Ga. They had a car for me. Had to pay more money. Then we drove to our destination and so happen I look in the glove compartment and there was an expired registration card July 1 2017. This don't make sense and I would like someone to contact me.

I had my Car rental reservation at this center and called this center to confirm on my pickup. The person name Brianna confirmed that I will be picked up at 8:30 am. I was also asked to call her at 8 am to confirm on the pickup schedule, I was provided with her mobile number to reach out in case of the office number not reachable. I couldn't reach over the call but got a confirmation via sms for the pickup confirmation. Time passed on from 8:30 am to 10:00 am and no response either on the phone call or sms via office phone or mobile provided.
Worst customer service ever, no courtesy of even picking the calls to respond. I had complained to the area manager were no proper response were given either and told since it was not within radius could not pickup. Giving false information and irrelevant collecting the customer information. This is not the first event, it has been third time happening consecutively. I would never recommend or suggest such an center for rental cars even offered for free.

Flew in from BOS to LAX with Enterprise reservation. Took 20 minute LAX Enterprise shuttle to the Los Angeles airport enterprise office. Woman at desk said it was the wrong office, she wouldn't help or give us a ride to the right office, told us to take an Uber. We spent 30 mins getting to the 4989 Venice Blvd office and when we arrived, office was CLOSED with sign saying call the enterprise 800 number.
We were stranded in a sketchy neighborhood with all our luggage and no help. They had to send someone from a 3rd Los Angeles satellite office to pick us up. It's now been 1.5 hours waiting. We get to third enterprise office and they give us a dirty, cigarette-stink smelling car with filth dripping down the windows, stained seats, dust everywhere, scratches and dings. We had no choice but to take this gross, dirty car because by this point we are late for our client appointment. Nightmare. Airport rental cars and Enterprise need to refund my fee to make this right.

We had a great experience with Enterprise. If it wasn't for them, we wouldn't have known what to do. We only needed the car for a few hours but when you need a car, you need a car. The only requirement they had was that we had to return the car with a full tank of gas, so we did. If I need a car again, I'll use Enterprise. My only gripe about Enterprise is that I once saw a commercial for Enterprise that said they would drop the car off to you. That's a service I could definitely use. But I've been to a couple Enterprises since then and have yet get that service.

The agents are nice but they are not willing to make sure customer understand in full what they are signing or getting into. In reference to a wreck I was involved, on Tuesday 5:00 the other's party's insurance call the car rental and made a reservation, once I got there to pick up the car they added some extra fees and liabilities that I'm responsible for. The total came up to $154.99 (we are talking about the cheapest car available $22.74 a day, (REFERENCE#**). So the agent told me, loud and clear, "You are good for 3 days, blah, blah, blah.
Then on Wednesday night something told me to check the contract, and I couldn't believe what I was reading... on the contract it says I have to return the vehicle at 9:00 am, THAT'S ONLY 24 HRS plus the overnight of course. So I called them and they said, "No, that how it is: you got on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday... That's 3 days. You took it on Tuesday evening, the evening next day is 2 days", I said, "That doesn't make sense." Took the car back, never set my feet in that place again, I'll get Uber or Lift next time.

They are not very caring unless you give them a credit or debit card so they can charge you fake expenses. My insurance was taking of the tab but, as I was told by Marissa ** that they had to charge you the deposit so if anything happened they would be covered. My insurance is covering everything so I refused to pay extra and then they told me I could not rent one of their cars. Which was a moot point because they did not even have a car to rent. I recommend going to a different rental company, anything but enterprise!!!

Enterprise rent a car in Edinburgh doesn't give back lost items! It's the first time something similar happened to us! Yes it's our fault if we forgot a camera under the passenger seat but we called immediately the company, we sent 3 emails and nobody gave us any feedback! It's not a honest way to behave, that never called us back, they never answered at our email. We gave the car model, the reservation number, the license plate number and nothing! The first day even if we made the reservation from Italy they didn't have the car and we had to go in another office, but ok we are on holiday, keep calm, they are making us wait for more than one hour... But this! This is unacceptable, we call back immediate and they kept our camera. Worst company ever.

In mid May my wife was involved in an accident that was not her fault. Progressive insurance who was the the other driver insurance, put an order in for a rental from Enterprise Rent A Car. When we pick up the vehicle I was told even though it is paid for by the insurance company we have to put up $50.00 hold for fuel if we did not bring it back with the same amount at check in. We got it with the gauge at 3/4 tank. A week later my wife's car got fixed and we returned the rental with a full tank of gas. I was told I would get an email showing the deposit was returned in full. I did get the email and it showed only $21.87 was returned my debit card account. I immediately called and was told Progressive did not pay for one day and they took $28.13 for that day. I called Progressive and they assured me they are paying for the entire time of the rental.
I spent about two hours back and forth on the phone and was told wait 2 days for the $28.13 to be credited to my account. I waited three days and still was missing that funds. I drove to the office and demanded all paperwork that was involved in the transaction. They gave me a copy of the difference and promised it would be in my account. I finally had this issue resolved when my money was returned the next day. That was my thinking until 2 1/2 months later I check my account on August 10, 2017 and found a charge from Enterprise Auto in the amount of $26.42.
I immediately called the local branch and stayed on the phone for about an hour while they check and finally told me there is nothing showing of any charges from their end. I can dispute it with my banking institution. I did that and have since change my Debit card information and have to wait 10 business days for that funds to be returned to my account. The sad thing is if I had the capability to take money from their account I would be still sitting in jail on some felony charge for stealing. I am still waiting for my new debit card and have to drive to the bank for cash withdrawals for everything I do.

This has been by FAR the worst rental experience!! I wish I could give a negative 5 stars!! First of all I rented a vehicle that was extremely dirty it looked as though it had never been Cleaned inside. There was snot on the steering wheel. I at the time of the rental "reserved" a small SUV to pick up 10 days later and when I arrived on my lunch break to pick up my reserved vehicle was told "sorry we don't have any smaller SUV's right now". This costed me several hundred dollars more in fuel expenses during our family vacation.
I then returned the large SUV to downsize for expense reasons and was again told "sorry we have no smaller vehicles at this time". Enterprise did waive the upgrade fee however it still costed me extra gas money. Then after all this I received a smaller car several days later that needed an oil change and fluids. And I returned the vehicle to Enterprise "one stop shop" that All in the same room has GEICO, Enterprise and a body shop. Ten days later I was contacted stating that I needed to return my vehicle which I had already done. I informed the lady that I had already returned the vehicle. I had been told by the body shop that I could "unload my personal belongings and leave the keys in the vehicle" because it was pouring down rain and they would "take care of it".
Now we are 19 days later and I'm fighting Enterprise for my $200 security deposit because they have in house communication errors and this is somehow my fault!! And on top of it they say I "technically owe them more money" and "someone is responsible for the 10 days the vehicle sat at the collision place" WTF!!! All of this on top of a collision that was not even my fault and has already costed me over a thousand dollars between car rental and a collision deductible. Thanks for making an already horrible situation even more stressful.

I use Enterprise for corporate use and rent about every other week. They rent on a first come first serve basis regardless if you have a reservation which can leave you without transportation. The cars are clean and the staff is polite but the service level is horrible. They say that you are treated like a VIP even if you are not one. My experience is no one is a VIP. If I had any other options in my rural location I would never use Enterprise again. I do see a significant difference between metropolitan areas and the rural locations.

Not only does Enterprise pick you up, but when my repairs were done, I was able to leave the car at the dealership and Enterprise retrieved it for me. The customer service was "above and beyond".

I realize that no person and no company is perfect 100% of the time, but I have noticed a disturbing trend lately. I've gotten a car that was filthy inside, and have gotten another one that had a problem making it terribly unsafe to drive. However, it's this last incident that has done it for me. On a work trip, I arrive at the airport and go to pick up the car. I was given a choice between two, and I chose the one I wanted. I signed for it and headed for my hotel. On the way, the individual at my agency who handles our travel called me and said that Enterprise had added on virtually every single additional charge they had, none of which I had agreed to. When I got checked in to my hotel, I called the main customer service line and explained the problem. The agent assured me that all of those charges would be removed when I returned the car, then gave me her name and a reference number.
A few days later, I return the car to the airport and right after I clear security I get another call from my agency. She tells me that every single charge was still on there PLUS a fuel charge. She called the local agent where I was and explained the situation to them, and how their agent assured us that those charges would be removed, and even gave the reference number. The person to whom she spoke grudgingly removed the charges, but said that I had not filled up the car before dropping it off. I have a receipt that says otherwise.
I get misunderstandings, and I get that things sometimes fall through the cracks. But refusing to take off unauthorized charges AND flat-out lying about the fuel? Inexcusable. I know that my agency only spends a few thousand a year on rental cars and that we don't make a huge difference to them, but I am still going to find another company that will appreciate the money we spend and not try to jerk their customers around.

I have been in an Enterprise rental for 3 years, consecutively, 365 days a year. I travel for work. Last year there were a couple of hail storms... and the agent in Chesterfield said I had hail damage. I did not, maybe a simple, if it was there I couldn't really see it. I have pictures. I continued with the rental, I was advised several weeks later that I needed to bring the car in as it had been sold. I returned the car and they wanted to collect on the hail damage. I paid a $200 cash "deposit" and told them to call me with estimate and I would pay cash. I mean, how much could it be? I have had one insurance claim my 30+ driving years.
I wrote on my receipt - do not submit to insurance. They did. I denied the claim. When I asked for a copy of that receipt later, my note was not there. Many missed phone calls, no estimate provided. I am in meetings almost all day every day. When I call Enterprise claims my person never answers the phone, I leave a message, get a call back in the middle of the day 4-6 weeks later. I even took the day off twice and left a message "took tomorrow off call anytime". No call. And repeat. '
Fast forward 12 months or so later to today. When I went in to rewrite the contract for the next 30 days, I had to choose pay $800 for the "damage" or be denied a car. I refused to pay the $800 (the balance for my insurance deductible. Not the total amount that they came up with for the car that was sold and for the estimate never provided to me). They actually let a loyal customer, a female traveler, stranded without a car in St Louis on a weekend. Amazing. I Ubered back to my hotel. I suppose I am now on a no serve list or something which means I will also be denied all of the points I have accrued. Truly unacceptable way to conduct a customer-centric business. Now, which rental company is looking for a $10-12K/year customer? It WON'T be Enterprise. Tell all of your friends. I will be.

Enterprise vehicle rental... Be careful about what you reserve for a vehicle. I chose the option of letting them choose for me to save a few bucks. Thought I'd be upgraded from economy to mid size car. Instead I had a 4 wheel drive pickup truck which I DID NOT want. I asked for a car when I saw the truck and they said no, unless I paid an extra 10.00 per day for the car. I'm almost 62, and had to haul my suitcase (almost 50 pounds) in and out of the truck each time I spent the night at a different home, while visiting family back home, and my 87 year old mother had quite a time hoisting herself up and into the vehicle.

Picking up the car from Houston 537 North Loop W was so easy, ** and ** were great. I haven't returned the car as yet but I'm anticipating all will be good. I just seems when reviewing very few people take the time to write good reviews but that's understandable. I'm inclined to that myself.

Update: We did receive the reimbursement to our bank. While we are upset that the refund did not come sooner, we acknowledge Enterprise's efforts to sort things out. That is the solution that we have been waiting for.

We rented a car from Enterprise in Salt Lake City for our road trip from June 30 to July 6 in Yellowstone. We bought every kind of insurance that it offered, including the roadside assistance. It was a car with 35k mileage, and at first it was driving okay. After we had a hike at Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, we got back to the car, and the brake did not work.
Fortunately, we just started it very slowly from roadside, and I managed to stopped the car by emergency brake. It was remote in the National Park, and Enterprise couldn't go there. They said we could use a towing company, paying for it and they would reimburse us later. The car was not safe, and we got them to replace with another car, but we had to tow the car to West Yellowstone, which is about 50-60 miles away from Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. We paid the towing company, and Enterprise has not reimbursed us back after more than a month!! Enterprise is a company that you could not trust!

Called local Enterprise location at 4504 N. Roxboro St, Durham N.C. to rent a car. Reservation agent gave rates and confirmed rental: Confirmation # **. Arranged pickup time for 5:00 PM today August 09 2017 for a 1 day Economy rental. Gave her e-mail address. Received e-mail with complete details i.e confirmation number and rate and term of rental. I filled out additional info for their Enterprise Plus membership ** also as I intended to rent in the near future additional times.
Twenty minutes LATER I received a phone call from this office to tell me that they had NO CARS! A waste of my time and information. The agent should have told me that they did not have any cars available when I called. They would not get a car from another location and wanted to put me on a list for a future rental. NO WAY, I will not recommend this company as they have lost my business. I called corporate and spoke to an employee regarding matter and was NOTHING she could do. I asked for a Division Manager or someone in charge and was told that person is not available... What a way to run a company.

I have booked a car with them but they did not have a car for me because they were not willing to downgrade me or upgrade me but instead they made me stayed there for 2 hours and then told me that they do not have a car for me so I don't understand why I need to book the car in advance. Also there were 3 people sitting around instead of giving me another car. Very poor service and bad management. We did pull our account for business from them and went to their competition. Will never use this company again and cannot wait to let everyone know about it specially the Mundelein, Illinois location on route 60 and do not go the person name Amenda. She will charge your card in hurry but they will not have a car for you.

I've been renting with you guys for over 6 years and never had an issue until now. For the past 4 years I have made several trips to Florida every year with my family and friends. We usually get 2 larger SUVs and I always try to make a reservation in the beginning of the year for the school break in August. However this year I did the same thing and I made my reservation in the Beginning of the year for two large SUV's and I specifically told the representative on West Street Annapolis to make sure the vehicles were like a Suburban or GMC because we had a issue with luggage and space. Three weeks ago I had an emergency in Minnesota and I had to drive all the way for 1 week so I went with you guys and rented a minivan for the trip for the whole week.
And on my way back when I dropped the van off I asked again if my reservation and my requests were still good for the week later on the larger SUVs for my trip to Florida and everything was fine until I showed up to pick up the vehicles, they weren't what I asked for and when I asked who I believed was a manager named Sylvester he said "You should know that this is what you get and this is what we have. Take it or leave it, because you never requested a premium SUV." Even though he saw the notes on what exactly we requested, he still gave me a HORRIBLE ATTITUDE AND WALKED AWAY leaving someone else to try to help me who wasn't gonna do it. There is a huge reason why I specifically requested it. I have a couple witnesses that can testify the same thing.
When we were driving to Florida one of the cars keep beeping for the oil change, and on the other the Bluetooth never worked and the breaks kept making these weird noises so I called the 1800 number and talked to someone who says that the next day someone will try to contact me to see if we CAN BE helped, It's been more than a week and I haven't heard from you guys at all. Is this the kind of CUSTOMER SERVICE YOU DO? How is this possible. There is absolutely no space in those Tahoes so we had to reduce and limit our luggage because our new friend Sylvester decide to be ARROGANT AND VERY RUDE, WALK AWAY AND TELL US TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT and not even try to see if it was what we had asked for was available in another location.

I received several emails and phone calls from Enterprise. Theresa, risk assessment manager handled the issue. She was very nice and assured me that she personally would visit that site and retrain staff on the policy. She did not know why she was not called by the store manager to deal with the issue. She also had no answer for why they would ask for paystubs from me. But she was responsive and I provided her with my friend's contact info. My friend will be refunded her entire fee for the horrible experience and it sounds like hopefully some education will be happening. So in light of this, I will upgrade my one star to three.

I went to visit my best friend and her husband in Memphis, TN in the cooper young area. Before I went, my best friend who is low vision and so legally blind spent a half hour on the phone setting up getting a rental vehicle. She could get a better rate, she also insisted on paying since she and her husband were going to keep the car a few extra days. In this 30 minute phone call, she went through various scenarios, and got it all worked out... Or so we thought. We arrived to pick up the vehicle only to be told she needed a state driver's license! She has a valid state id card. I showed them mine - no good. Since they have a surrogate driver policy.We were shocked and pretty upset. I got sick of it and threw my card on the table and told them to run it. Again a problem. It was a debit card. They said I needed a credit card. I am a gainfully employed psychologist with the judicial system in my own state.
I do not believe in credit cards, but hey they could run it as credit right? Nope!! So we sat there for 40 minutes waiting for her manager who was in a meeting to call back. In the meantime I called the corporate office to talk to them and was told: yes, I had to have a credit card, if I did not, then I needed to supply my work history and paystubs!! Wow! I'm already on vacation. Yeah, let me just dig all that out of my suitcase! I didn't realize I was applying for a job there!! I could not believe it!
Finally, they agreed to let us have the vehicle. Then they tried to charge us 10.00 extra per day for an added driver. We protested again, they finally "waived" that fee as a courtesy even though their policy clearly states, that charge does not apply to a surrogate driver! On top of that, the brakes on this piece of crap Kia, were in serious need of adjustments!!! The absolute nerve!
When my friend returned the car, the stupid manager there said she waived it as a courtesy at which time my friend informed her of this fact and was met with more nastiness. I rented a vehicle from Budget last year in Houston. No problems, was there 15 mins, paid with my debit, run as credit. No issues. Enterprise, get it together!! Not only do you treat people like criminals, requiring a credit card, work history and other b.s.; your employees obviously don't know the policies and couldn't be bothered to think for themselves and look it up. Serious lack of ADA education!! Absolute worst experience. My friend was humiliated, manager was stupid and uneducated as well as rude. Will NEVER rent from them EVER again!

Enterprise in general is the worst company on Earth. I'd suggest staying away. Use Getaround or Turo.com they're far more ethical. At their North Laurel branch I rented a car for almost three months but when I returned the car I was in they tried to charge my card again, without my consent, even while I told them not to because I had to move money from the savings account to the checking account. They did not listen to me and the card failed every time and they told me their system would not take it anymore.
I returned their vehicle July 25, 2017 and noticed several charges on my checking account the next Thursday July 27, 2017. I had been treated very poorly at the Clarksville branch so I left the car and did not stay. Quickly went to go and pick my car up from the body shop. I called into the South Laurel branch whose management also treated me very poorly regarding this (even though they got over $1500 of my money). I paid out about $2600 to different Enterprise branch locations for rentals since April including South Laurel. And just today I spoke with someone named Harshit and said he was the regional vice president (?) who was even worse. He was suggesting I owe them even more than what they already charged me.
However, I feel like I have been treated as more a nuisance than a loyal customer. If charging people out of nowhere with no evidence of damages, receipt or even a phone call is how they treat their on-time paying customers I'd hate to see what happens to people who are actually bad customers. It should have been at least a courtesy to not charge someone's account till they finalized the receipt! STAY AWAY FROM THESE AWFUL TERRIBLE HORRIBLE PEOPLE!

I am writing this to let people know how horrifically run Enterprise is! After waiting around for over an hour today I was told, I was put on fraud alert and couldn't rent a car. After being given a number of different phone numbers and contacts, I finally reached someone in their fraud dept. in Orange County. After another hour. This lady then tells me that she can give me no information except that I had stolen a car over a month ago. After several hours later and phone calls to the police, she emails me a grand theft auto report of a car I never rented from a person who had stolen my id. I said how could a person steal a car without a credit card?
My car had been broken into two months earlier and all of my IDs and credit cards had been stolen. I immediately cut them all up. How could a thief who, stole my wallet walk into an Enterprise 10 days later and rent a brand new jeep without any credit cards!?? This thief rented a brand new car with my ID and no credit card or any other form of identification or banking information. She had no phone number or correct address or email. Then they tell me they mailed me a letter! I never got any letter because they didn't even have my address. And on top of that, they didn't even call the police when I was in their office trying to rent another car!
They let me walk out. If they actually had their clients give multiple IDs and a working credit card, this hell that I am trying to straighten out, never would have happened! And I laugh at their email telling me they will no longer rent to me. I had also rented from them twice in the last year. Don't you think they would have my correct information in their system. ENTERPRISE, DON'T RENT CARS WITHOUT A WORKING CREDIT CARD! Check that these people renting from you have a valid cell and email! Check and see if people are in your data system. We are in an age of corruption and ID theft.

I recently traveled into Wilson NC by train where I had reservations with Enterprise to pick up a car rental. I discovered that the Enterprise that I had reservations with closed early on Saturdays. My fiancé called the corporate office and asked for suggestions. They informed him for me to go to the Greenville Airport that they definitely had the inventory for the day.
Upon arriving the service desk, I informed the rental agent of my situation. She point blank looked me in the face and told me she could not help me. I told her that I didn't know what to do. I had 2 more hours to travel to get to my brother's wedding the following day. After basically begging her to help me... No apologies at all... She told me that she had 3 cars in the parking lot, 2 of the cars had flat tires, and the 3rd car had the check engine light on. I asked for a manager and she informed me that she was the manager.
How can a company like Enterprise have the product in the parking lot, but the product is not drivable? Somebody is failing at their job. I had to have my cousin drive 2 hours after already driving for 9 hours to come pick me up so I could make the wedding the next day. UNBELIEVABLE! The worst part was... My fiancé called to complain the next day... The corporate office told him that they could do nothing for us because I was escorted out by a sheriff.
Absolute lie! There was a security guard there whom actually helped me more than Ariel. He referred me to a semi local restaurant that I could sit at to wait for my cousin to come get me. If there was a sheriff and I was causing a problem... Don't you think that he would have acted upon the situation? In closing, my fiancé asked them to pull the camera footage and they declined. I don't know what else to say other than it was the worst customer service I have ever encountered in my life. I also made sure that the 100 family and friends that attended the wedding knew about my experience with Enterprise.

Rented one way from NC to Columbus, GA. The NC Enterprise office told me they had to get the car from the Raleigh airport. Upon returning the vehicle to the Columbus office, one of the workers finally walked around the car with me and walked back into the office. I waited in their office for approx. 20 minutes for Enterprise to give me a ride home. One month later the Enterprise office in NC phoned me and said that Columbus, GA office put in a claim for damage to the roof. I was shocked. I drove the car 400 miles, parked it in my garage and dropped it off the next morning. There was no damage done by me nor addressed when I returned the vehicle until this phone call. There were many dings written up by the NC office.
I heard nothing then one month later NC office called again stating that Columbus, GA office is claiming there was hail damage to the vehicle. I did not drive thru any hail storms and I went online and the only location that had a hail storm was in NC 6 days prior to my rental. Now they sent me a letter wanting me to submit a claim to my insurance company. They are out of their minds. FAKE CLAIMS.

Here you guys say: "We are committed to take care of customer-service," but this is a big lie! I am a loyal customer of your business for many years-and this was the worst customer-service I ever had in a long time! We made a reservation 2 months in advance in order to get the car we wanted - full size... but after 3 miles driving we noticed a weird noise coming from the brakes. Concerning with our safety we immediately called Enterprise and made a request for an exchange, But since we were already in our way to South Carolina they said to us to do the exchange at any other location or as soon as we arrive there!! What happen was that every location we tried to stop after hours (including 2 major Enterprises at 2 different airports) were giving us the same BS excuse: "We don't have ANY full size available." How come 2 major locations from the biggest rental car in United states do not have a full size available?
Let me answer it: they did have lots of full sizes available as we noticed at the parking lot and at the Enterprise balcony when other customers were asking for full sizes. They just didn't want to get stuck with a Maryland license plate car (with brake problems) in their parking lot. They don't care about customer, they don't care about safety, they don't care about your money!!! And when we ask for a refund they said that we will have to pay a $500 fee for dropping it in a different location... They were making us pay for something that was not our fault. We lost a entire day of our vacation trying to fix this problem!! We ended up having to drive the same car with a very very bad brakes back to Maryland!! Being a loyal customer from Enterprise for almost 4 years renting at-least 12 times a year make me very disappointed to know that they really don't care about your safety, but only about their money.

I have been renting with Enterprise for the last 7 years. I have never had an issue up until now. Actually there has been an issue the last THREE times I have rented. I rented a vehicle at the La Mesa, CA location and specifically told the representative who assisted me that I only wanted the Damage Waiver for the vehicle I was renting. As I was initialing the agreement, I saw that RAP and PAI were on the agreement. BEFORE I moved forward with the agreement, I asked the rep why does it show I am requesting RAP and PAI when I ONLY asked for DW. She stated that there were three parts to the DW and Roadside Assistance and the other Insurance was included. This in fact was NOT true and I was charged $34.68 for coverage that I made perfectly clear that I DID NOT want, but your representative felt the need to charge me for anyway.
I went to a different location as I was disappointed that the rep at the previous branch intentionally provided false information, which was of benefit to her. I told the rep at the new branch that I only wanted DW, and he stated "just protection for the car right?" I replied yes, just the Damage Waiver, so he was well aware that I only the DW and no other coverage, I return the vehicle to a different branch and what do you know, I have been charged $26.01 for coverage I stated more than once that I DID NOT WANT.
Even AFTER, the previous experiences, I attempted to give your company the benefit of the doubt. I rented from location I returned the last rental. I picked the vehicle up at 5:30 PM on Friday and had planned on returning it Monday 5:30 PM. As I prepared to sign off on the agreement, I saw that my estimated total went from $53.64 to over $131! I told the representative that I only wanted DW. He stated that he would correct the issue and send email me the agreement. Saturday morning. When I DID NOT receive the agreement, Approximately, 7:30 AM PST, I called the toll free number and asked a rep to go over my agreement with me. She stated that DW coverage was on the agreement as well as all the other coverage.
I decided that I would not continue to do business with a dishonest company and instead of keeping the vehicle until Monday as I had planned, I returned the vehicle Saturday morning. The branch I returned the vehicle refunded the additional charges. This was a real inconvenience. I rented the car because I had plans for my children, they were ruined because of this. I used my rewards points for the rental and only was able to utilize it for a few hours and those points were NOT reimbursed. I am quite aware that there are goals that have to be met for each branch, however, I do not appreciate being apart of these shady tactics to meet those goals.

I made a reservation on July 17, with a confirmation number EMAILED TO ME. On July 24, I confirmed to let them know I would pick the cargo van on the 30th as planned. I confirmed as well on July 27. Yesterday I walked in at 5:40 pm, before they closed, to pick the van I had previously reserved. While I did not catch the name of the employees, I saw they had carelessly ignored my reservation and gave the reserved van to a different customer. According to the employee, they had called me 4 times the day to pick up the van, when I clearly showed them I had not received a call and let them know I had spoken with a different employee the day before.
When I was trying to show them that I had received no calls, he rudely interrupted me and said that it is not his duty to look at my phone and even looked away. The manager was VERY RUDE AND DISRESPECTFUL OF A MISTAKE HE ALLOWED. OFFERED NO SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM. He claimed I walked in at 6 pm when they had already locked the doors. I heard them tell the other customer, whose name I will not release because he is a frequent customer at my place of employment, that because he is frequent customer of said location that he could come in without a reservation for said van I had reserved. This is completely unacceptable and very inconvenient. The whole point of the reservation would be to actually reserve a van in advance. I guess I have to frequent this location more often to actually have a van at my disposable. Shame on you Enterprise, your employees are terrible and this whole company is a scam.

The vehicle had scratches all over, was so dirty it looked as though someone had taken it through mud, the interior was in horrible condition and smelled bad. The vehicle's low gas light was on and the agent told me that I could bring it back empty without penalty and offered me a day free. The agent informed us that this was the only vehicle they had and that we could go to any Enterprise and turn in for another premium vehicle.
After leaving this Enterprise location and proceeded to get on the highway I noticed that when I had to put on the brakes at high speed the vehicle shook horribly. I went to 3 yes that is right 3 different Enterprise locations and none of them could replace the vehicle. All 3 said they had no vehicles to give out. I then called the customer service line who took my complaint and told me to call the roadside assistant number.

I went to Enterprise about 2 months in advance to rent a van. At the time they had a high top van. I secured the van. About a month out, I called to check on my rental and was told they no longer carried it. No notice. I then changed to a Transit 350 van. I expressed it was very important that I have the Transit rather than cargo because of the number of riders. I called back about 2 or 3 days out to make sure everything was in order as far as van and cost. Was told all was well. When I went to pick up the van, I got a cargo van.
I don't understand why a person cannot get what they order when they have gone to this length. There was a van like I ordered in the parking lot and I asked why I could not get that one. I was told that the person renting that van had come by at a earlier time, rented it and would be back to pick up. To me this is not business. Why was I not told that it would have been in my best interest to do this since I had made several calls to make sure I got what I wanted. How can one person rent in advance and another cannot. I felt like my money was as good as the other person. I don't get it that you cannot get what you want when you order from Enterprise but can anywhere else.
On the same occasion my niece reserved a 7 passenger van. Went in to pick up with confirmation number and was told they did not have one. She was leaving for vacation the same day and had to scramble to make other plans. All of this is simply not acceptable.

Per the gentleman at Enterprise similar would be a Chrysler 300 or a Mercedes model. Went online, booked through Costco a full size vehicle for the trip. Received confirmation paperwork, with stated car type (Cadillac XTS or similar) and pricing. When we arrived to pick up the vehicle we were given an Infiniti QX 70. When we told them we had requested a full size car, we were told "This is a luxury vehicle."
Unfortunately we were not in a position to shop around as we were leaving in a couple hrs. The car was not comfortable in the back seat, very little leg room. To me this is false advertising. If I wanted an 114 intermediate SUV, I would have reserved that. Also we asked what grade of fuel was required, we're told regular only to find out the first time we stopped for gas that it took premium. The website needs to changed to state the truth, and the employees need to know what to tell the customer. My next step will be to notify Costco.

We booked a large SUV rental to transport my family from Charlotte NC to Peabody MA and back. Two thirds of the way to our destination I started noticing a loud banging and jolt when the Tahoe was shifting from first to second gear. With my knowledge of cars, I knew right away this vehicle was having transmission problems.
We did reach our destination and I decided to contact roadside assistance the next morning. This is when the experience fell apart. I talked to a representative named Chaundra. I could not believe how unprofessional this woman sounded. I'm not sure, but I would guess that I just woke her up. I explained the situation and how we were on vacation and I didn't feel safe driving the vehicle that imminent failure was bound to happen. She checked the system to see if their was an exact replacement to my rental. Being that it was Sunday and most independent agencies were closed. She told me I could take it to Boston Logan car rental and see what they could do. I responded, that I wasn't going to drive an unsafe vehicle anywhere. They would need to bring the vehicle to me.
She said they could pick up the current vehicle, but we wouldn't have a replacement til after Monday. I told her the zip code where I was staying. She told me that the Danvers MA Enterprise was showing having a Tahoe on the lot. She couldn't confirm and told me to call them at 9am when they opened. Wow!!! Solve my own problem. I told her I was about a mile from that location and would call them and return the failing Tahoe there. I called at 9 and spoke to Joe telling him my predicament, he got another guy named John. John listened to my story and apologized for what I had gone through with roadside assistance saying they hear complaints all the time about roadside.
He went on to tell me the only vehicle he currently had was a Ford F250 worktruck. I could use the vehicle until he rectified the situation. He was really sympathetic about our situation and was going to work on it first thing Monday morning that he would contact me early in the day to let me know how to proceed. It's now Monday around 1pm. Since I haven't heard from John I decided to call the Danvers Enterprise. I can't remember who I talked to, but asked if John was in and the guy went on to tell me that John decided to take the day off to go to a golf tournament. What!!! John had told me he would get a premium large SUV replacement, not to worry.
This guy goes on to ask me my name, not pulling any record up. I explain what has been going on. He finally pulls up the information using the numbers off the tag on the keys. He sees the exchanged rental Tahoe to F250. Makes no sense to me. I completely feel Enterprise doesn't care about me at this point. He tells me the only vehicle he has is a seven passenger minivan that could accommodate my needs. I told him that I rented a Tahoe and that is what I want. He goes on to tell me that John tends to over promise and their policy is no guarantee on rental class when replacing a vehicle.
He continued to check his system to see if anyone in the area had a replacement. Nobody was showing availability. He continued to tell me that they could not travel hours to pick up a vehicle. He went on to tell me they were doing me a favor by taking a damaged car in exchange for a good car. I was completely dumbfounded at this point. I told him that I was in high end sales and I do whatever it takes to make my clients happy. Customer satisfaction is my number one goal. He told me that I might want to contact my agency that I rented the car from to see if they could handle this situation.
I contacted my agency and have been dealing with Cliff at this point. Cliff is not familiar with the Boston area. I asked Cliff if I could return the F250 to the Logan airport location and he informed me that they would only accept a malfunctioning vehicle as the F250 is working fine. I am now going into my third day of vacation having to cancel my family plans because the vehicle does not meet our needs. I don't know when I will have the car requested in my reservation. I can't believe how poorly I've been treated by Enterprise. The company who raves about its customer service in its commercials and ads.

When I was asked, "you need optional protection plan?" I told them I do not need optional protection plan. Few days later, realized why is the grand total so high. So I called and got the breakdown of the total. I was told I have optional coverage plan. It was like some ridiculous amount like $59 a day. Talk to manager and district manager, they are saying, "you signed on it." This is such a ** they are making us pay that. Before I return the car, we were going to extend the rental and had to cancel it because it was almost $800 for 7 days to rent a midsize car. The district manager Eddie says it was initial on the tablet by me, and I remember initialing but I said no for that plan so I assumed that charge will not do on it so without looking in more detail I signed.
So now they are stuck with that 'you signed for it and we gave you that plan.' I told them the minute I found out the breakdown of the charges I disputed, but no one is able to help me remove that charge. I told district manager I want to go above him to resolve this issue. He says, "it will come back to me and I have made up my mind" and I have to pay for optional protection coverage plan. I really wish if there is anyone out there who can help me take this charge off or put in the right direction where can I dispute this.

My insurance company Allstate rented a car for me on the 5 of July. I had to put a deposit down of 50.00. All I was supposed to pay the taxes. When I return the car they charged me 6 dollars that would cover the taxes which I understand... After a week of waiting to get my deposit back I called and I was told it's taxes and I will not get it back. It seems like they're charging my insurance and myself double. Hope someone can help.

It was supposed to be a holiday of a lifetime. I called the toll free number to talk to an Enterprise car rental representative. We were leaving Vancouver, B.C. on July 28/17 and arriving in Sydney Nova Scotia on July 29/17. We were taking a taxi to downtown Sydney, Nova Scotia and overnight at a motel. Following day, we taxi to the Sydney ferry terminal and arrive at 3:00 pm. We booked a cabin suite and the ferry ride from North Sydney to Argentia could be any where from 12-16 hours. We wanted to take this ferry because of live band, dancing, entertainment etc. Once arriving in Argentia, we got a hold of a transportation company that would pick us up at the Ferry terminal and transport us to Saint John Newfoundland airport to pick up our car from Enterprise. All of this was explained to Enterprise over the phone. We rented the car from July 31-Aug 10.
Enterprise sent confirmation to my email. In Newfoundland they have celebrations during first two weeks of August. It is our understanding that this happens each/every year. A few days ago, I decided to confirm all bookings, flights, motel, taxi transport, car rental, ferry. All checked out until I checked our car rental with Enterprise. The representative I talked to said the booking of the car was for Saint John Newbrunswick. I made no reference to Saint John Newbrunswick. I checked my confirmation email and lo and behold it stated Saint John Newbrunswick. Should A, Could A, Would A - Enterprise totally screwed up what I explained to them on the phone. Either their listening skills are totally in left field. Obviously, they do not know where Argentia is. For that matter, they don't know that YES there is Saint John Newfoundland.
Granted, I should have ensured from my confirmation email that after Saint John came Newfoundland not New Brunswick. I phoned every car rental place in Newfoundland with no success. Lo and behold they are all sold out. I phoned the motorcycle H/D dealer to see if they rent motorcycles and lo and behold they do not rent them daily or weekly. Anywhere else in Canada, they do. Go figure.. So I had to cancel vacation, all motels, flight, ferry, transportation company, etc. Thank you Enterprise Car Rentals. I will never, ever, deal with you clowns ever again. All I got from Enterprise is, "we apologize sir and we are sorry." Sorry doesn't cut it. Man Up!!

I guess this is not so much a complaint but a suggestion for Enterprise Rent a Car. I understand that you need a credit card for a rental and if you don't have one you need to see two utility bills that have no past dues in their history. I guess this is part of your policy. What I learned is that you cannot have ANY past due bills that people can see otherwise you will be denied. So I did not realize that I had not paid a bill and paid it right there and then but I would not get a rental. I was most disappointed because both of our cars are from Enterprise Sales, so we are loyal Enterprise customers who have fallen on hard times.
Maybe you should offer a free weekend rental with purchase. We have two vehicles from you. Something to think about offering to customers. The Enterprise sales experience has always been great, but the rental is something different. A few months ago we rented from Enterprise because our car was not ready and the car that I rented from the Madison airport was very dirty. It was the first time I had experienced that with any car. I feel that manager should have given me a chance because we were loyal Enterprise after buying two cars. Better to continue with the relationship than now, I am sore with what happened.

When trying to rent a car using a Debit Card, instead of a Credit Card, we were subjected to more scrutiny and privacy act violations than if we had tried to buy a house. The staff was totally disrespectful of asking for security documents and funds in front of other customers - and by the end of the event, we not only didn't rent a car from Enterprise, but NEVER will rent from them again.

I'm a loyal Avis Car Rental member, but since they were sold out so had to choose Enterprise. First off, I made a reservation at the Lauderhill, Florida, (west Sunrise) location. The office was chaos. There was one person working there, people fighting and the office was full. And you guessed it. BARELY NO CARS. So I had reserved an intermediate suv and, they only had one A Nissan Rouge. The associate told me it would take about 30 minutes for it to get an oil change and a wash. So I waited thirty minutes in the hectic office. 45 minutes later I saw a Dodge Journey pulled up into the parking lot. And the rep asked me and said, "You could take the journey instead at no extra charge." Mind you that this is a standard suv, so I was like, "Sure. I'm not gonna keep waiting for the Rouge that you supposedly had."
Sooo I checked the keytag and what not, the car was 2015 in 2017?? So my wife wanted to drive it to Orlando thinking that she can drive it but that's not the case. The car was out of alignment and above 70 mph the car would shake. And best of it no windshield wiper fluid and the wipers were total **, so my wife wanted to return it and get another but they said I would be banned from Enterprise if she did. What kind of ridiculous ** is that! Because she's not on the contract. After the rep said spouses can drive it.

Granted, I have rented from Enterprise before and really never had any issues other than not having a vehicle when I needed one. The local office where I am located is always friendly and helpful. I scheduled a trip to Vegas and wanted a vehicle to drive around for the day and take back to the airport the next. Called them up and confirmed. The hotel where I was at did not have Enterprise only Avis. The lady said I would have to get a bus or walk to the SLS which was about 1.5 miles away. She said there was no option to be picked up. First I have ever heard of this with Enterprise. I was under the impression of, "We will pick up you!" Apparently not in Vegas, at least where I was.
Anyway, I walked and got there around 1:30 pm. The lady was friendly and got me a car. The total would be 73.98 and a 300 dollar hold on my CC. Next day got to the airport and charged 156.00 for all kinds of fees. Basically, I was about 3 hours past the time to come in. This was my fault not knowing Vegas and the roads well enough, I guess. The guy who checked me in took about 30 minutes to do so since he had several others to do. He checked me in. Was more concerned with the roof of the jeep. We did not use the roof only put luggage in the open back hatch... Duh... He later gave me my receipt of drop off and when I questioned the charge, he said it was only suggested charge.
Ok, got home from flight called Enterprise and whammo. The charge is for extra day, plus 20% drop off fee taxes, you name it. I told her I rent from enterprise all the time and never had to pay this extra amount. The 3 hour missed time equates to another 24 hrs and it's corporate policy. Well not where I live folks. They do not do this. Maybe, I am lucky since my local office or surrounding areas do not do this? Maybe, only Vegas? Oh, it's corporate because she said she has worked for 15 years for Enterprise and it's how it's always been. She only directed me to the Las Vegas local office when I suggested I would not be dealing with Enterprise again, or at least in Vegas. Very rude customer service and she has been with them 15 yrs!
The reason I am sending the message is because I was told on the phone at reservation that the 73.98 is all I would be paying folks. This was tax included! I told them I would be dropping the car off at the airport as well. They stated no extra charges! Well drop it off 3hrs late and boom! If you take the 30 minutes the guy took to finally get to me, well I was under 3hrs. Does not matter I guess, or at least in Vegas. My local branch where I live operates a little different Corporate Enterprise. They know the meaning of customer service and satisfaction. This is what keeps repeat customers coming back, not your lies (bait and switch) tactics.
Again, I should not be charged a full day for less than 3hours late, plus all the extra charges added to the next day rental, when I am promised one charge only. There is nothing on the contract I signed stating extra charge for 3 hrs late, nor was I told on the phone at reservation or in person by the lady who gave me a vehicle.

Went through 3 cars in a 24 hour period! Rented a car from a branch in NJ for a 2 week trip to Orlando with my family. Around noon on the first day of driving down to Florida, we started experiencing car issues. At a stop light, completely still, the car was redlining and the warning lights on the dashboard went on. When the light turned green and we started to move the car started bucking very badly. We were able to pull into a Crackle Barrel parking lot where I called roadside assistance number and got a tow truck to pick up the car. From there the tow truck took me to Roanoke Airport in Virgina to pick up another car. (The Tow man was great and extremely helpful and went beyond his call of duty and helped me out during this time.) However, my experience with Enterprise began to decline beyond the mechanical problems of the first car.
The gentleman at Roanoke said he was upgrading my car but there were some stains in the car. At this time I was 3 hours behind schedule and my family was left at a Crackle Barrel so I just wanted to get going. I thought what are minor stains anyway? When I got into the car it looked like an entire case of soda blew up inside. It was absolutely terrible looking. How and why this car is even allowed to be rented is unbelievable in of itself! I took it anyway because I did not want to wait in another line at the airport and I just wanted to get my family. I figured I will let the branch aware of my dissatisfaction of this car being an "upgrade" when my trip was over.
At about 8pm that night, that car's warning lights came on. Completely uncomfortable about driving another 600 miles and having the car for 2 weeks before driving over a thousand miles back to NJ, I called the assistance line again and said that I would have to wait until morning since I was not close to a branch that was open at that time. So I was forced to get a hotel in South Carolina. Next morning I bring the car to a branch where the gentleman tried very hard to get me back in that car by saying it probably just needs an oil change. After refusing to take the car for another 2 weeks he gave me a new car. Before he could do that I had to prove that the stains in the car I was exchanging were not of my doing, that's how bad they were.
So I had to go back to my hotel and get the contract, that had interior stains written by the Roanoke guy. Finally, about to get the car, the gentleman gives me the car with 1/2 a tank of gas. Especially after returning both messed up cars with FULL TANKS. On July 10th I put in a complaint with corporate which in turn told me that a district manager will reach out to me shortly. It has been 8 days and I have yet to hear anything. Absolutely unacceptable! This situation could have been easily resolved. Never using them again, and they are 10 minutes from my house. The others are 30 minutes. I WILL be driving the extra distance to get my rental cars from another company for the rest of my life.

I was placed on Enterprise's DNR list because I had words with a manager at a local branch even though she was sarcastic to me. I DID NOT in anyway threaten her physically or verbally. In fact there were two other employees in the location as well as a mother with her child, and another man there renting. The employee that was renting to the man proceeded out the door to continue helping him and the other male employee sat back behind the screens in his seat. At no time did either of them see the need to get involved because I was not threatening her at all. Under no circumstances did I threaten her or did she appear to feel as if she was threatened because she proceeded with her same belligerent attitude that she had over the phone. Yes her voice was raised and so was mine. We had words. I wanted her to understand that she "Don't treat your customers bad." We both agreed we had a long day. We in fact went over the bill that was in question.
I asked her for her regional manager's information. She gave it to me and I left. I HAVE NOT STEPPED FOOT BACK AT THAT LOCATION SINCE THAT DAY, NOR HAVE I CALLED BACK UP THERE. I came home that same day and I phoned customer care about what happened and they took my statement and told me that someone would follow up with me within 24hrs. Well no one ever called me. Fast forward to today and I reserved a car for my husband and I was told to call a number to complete the reservation. It didn't give them the reason why. So I called the number and they informed me that I had been placed on the DNR list because I was physically threatening to the employee.
So I am trying to understand how as a company Enterprise allows its customers to get walked upon and lied on but no reprimand was given to her as a manager but she was able to call in and lie so that she can keep her job and I get placed on the DNR list because of her actions. Also my husband was not even involved nor was he aware of the situation so why was he blacklisted and punished due to the actions of another. This whole ordeal has been disappointing and embarrassing to say the least. He should not be punished for this. As well as I should not because they took her lie into account and not what really happened. I am completely appalled at this level of customer service and how I have been treated in this whole ordeal.

I called back and had to go thru the story over and over again, while I was sitting at the airport which was the only Enterprise office open in all of Montreal...
Are these cars not checked, fixed, serviced & cleaned before they are given to a customer? Are the people in the various office Pick-Up locations NOT TRAINED properly NOT to give out cars UNLESS they are in PERFECT condition? Are these Enterprise locations owned privately and therefore another location cannot change a defective car? It seems very strange to me, since I could rent a car in Montreal and would be able to drop it off at Enterprise in Toronto or Ottawa or wherever, obviously the car they gave me has Ontario licence plates...

Went to Enterprise rental car at Schofield Barracks to pick up car and was told they only had trucks, no economy cars. What? Went to Honolulu Airport location and was told an economy car was over $800 for the same two week period. Unsat! They dropped the ball but would not honor reservation agreed price. Wasted nearly a whole day driving around getting the runaround. Note: Expedia, to their credit, did say they would refund the difference in price. But I am done with Enterprise!

Rental car paperwork: $65.00 deposit required at the time of pick-up - I was never informed about this from anyone at Enterprise when I called to reserve my rental car. My debit card was run for the $65.00 when I arrived and I was told it declined. I told the gentleman, who was also the Branch Manager, that there was enough money in my account and to run it again. He did and it went thru. I pulled up my acct. right away only to find that my acct. was debited twice. I got the 2nd debit credited back the next day only to find an additional $38.00 debited the day after that. When I called to inquire about the $38.00 I was told they will continually charge my bank acct. debit card for every day I have a balance "so my acct. stays current". At no time was I ever told they would do this.
Then I was informed that they always try to reach the customer before they charge their cards however I received no call and found out they had the wrong phone number on file, though I verified my phone number with them no less than 3 times, twice with the Manager and once with an associate. Unfortunately I will have a long term rental of 30 days or so until my hail damaged vehicle is repaired, 30 days of uncertainty regarding their automatic debits from my bank acct. Thank goodness they did not cause an overdraft in my bank acct. the 1st time around. I had been under the impression I would pay any balance due at the time I returned the rental car, I even asked the gentleman about this. There is unbelievable mis-communication at Enterprise and deplorable customer service. I will not rent from them again and I will not recommend them to anyone.

Reserved a Nissan Maxima over a week in advance at the El Centro, CA Main St. location for my wife. When I arrived to pick up vehicle, they did not have it and offered a smaller car. They did not mentioned that the rental fee was going to be lower. They assumed since we performed the transaction in Spanish I would take it and not complain or ask for a lower fee. They did have Maximas but had rented them out earlier even though I had a reservation. This happened on another occasion but since I needed the car desperately I did not refused the downgrade.
Another time I rented from this place I dropped the car after hours and they called me next day claiming that there was damage to the car and they were going to file a claim with the insurance. Since I was away from town I did not have the time to go to the business and double check the car. The car was not damaged when I dropped it at the location. Months later I read that Enterprise was being investigated for this particular issue; claiming damage to vehicles to extract money from insurance companies or customers. This time I did refused the downgrade. From now on, I will not rent a car from Enterprise.

I am an Enterprise Plus member and I regularly rent car from Airports while travelling on Business and Personal. I was more or less satisfied with their service until recently their local branch office gave a faulty and damaged car. Not only faulty but also a crap one. The rear door do not open, which is a big safety issue. God forbidden, if some accident happen the passengers could not escape. Funniest part is they charged me a hefty CDW by offering a damaged car. How can someone offer a damaged car and charge money for Damage Waiver? The car engine sounds like an aeroplane and people on the streets start looking at me as if I am driving a big truck on the road. Worst part is the fuel tank capacity which is only 7 gallons. I cannot travel more than 140 miles. I have two more rental reservations coming up in July from Houston IAH, wondering I should switch to Hertz or National.

My experience was terrible. We rented a car for a family vacation to Florida. We had gone through my husband's works company provider who had set everything up (that was the best part of the whole experience). When we got to the desk, because the reservation was under my husband's name we couldn't use my Visa card (joint account) because it didn't have his name on the card. We had other cards but not one to cover the full amount and the cards that we did have that would cover the amount they wouldn't accept because they did have our names on the cards.
Frustrated at the policy, the only thing we could do was transfer the reservation into my name, but because I was under 25 years old there was a $20/day charge, and because my husband was going to be the primary driver there was also a $15/day charge. We were on our trip for 11 days... The customer rep at the desk sent us down to where the cars are to talk to a manager. We did not get to speak to a manager, but they waived the $15/day charge to be nice. When we finally got our car, an hour later. Did I mention I was traveling with two small children. We had asked for navigation and other car figures to help get us around. Our car didn't come with any of that. So I had to use my phone data for the maps which cost me $100 more.
Once we left we started to go through the tolls, no one informed us whether or not we needed to go pay or if they were on a cooperate paid card. Overall the experience cost us an extra $800 including the phone bill. But what really made me upset was when we booked with the rep from the company they didn't tell us about the credit card or debit card needing to have a name. I wish they were more flexible with taking other forms of payment. I wish that they had read our reservation so we would of ended up with what we were supposed to get and now I'm waiting for our toll bill to come in the mail, which will cost us more.

As I write this email I am very upset. I reserved a rental at the Fort Washington MD location for pick up today Thursday June 29, I used my loyalty points. I was told at about 5pm that the location had not cars for me to rent, no up or down grade either. John told me that I had to call around to other locations to see if they had cars and then call Enterprise Loyalty in order to still use my points. Issue #1) If it is not my fault that they did not have any vehicles why should I as the customer have to call several different location to find a vehicle, John told me that's what I had to do. Once I called around I finally found that the Oxon Hill MD location did have a car I could pick up at 5:30, when I asked about using my loyalty points I was told I had to speak with Enterprise Loyalty in order to transfer the points to the new reservation so he transferred my call.
Issue #2) Again why should I have to call someone when this is not my fault. When I spoke to the representative she told me that I had to cancel my reservation in order to have the points used in the new reservation. Issue #3) Later this evening another representative informed me that the first rep only had to change the location and that I should have not been told to cancel. However I cancel and the points did not into my account immediately return to my account so I missed the opportunity to pick up a vehicle at any location near because they all closed at 6pm. I called customer service and was told to call Enterprise Loyalty because he could not transfer. Once I did my call was transferred 2 more times. Issue #4) I was told that someone would contact me from the regional office and they did not.
Issue #5) By the time my points have been put back to my account I was unable to reserve a car for the next day because all the location say they have no vehicles. I am very disappointed with the service and lack thereof that I received from Enterprise. Now I will not be able to make the trip I needed to make on Friday because I have no car. I need to leave Thursday night but could have arrived a little late if I could get a rental on Friday morning, now that is impossible. Issue #6) This is my second issue I have encountered at this location. During my last rental they tried to rent me a car with the windshield having a crack in the glass that spread more than half way across.

I had an accident and lost my two cars in the same accident at beginning of this month. The people in West Katella office told me my policy was so good ("no limits") and they recommend me to take one of the 50 dollar cars from here.That was my first time in an accident and I don't even had clear idea of how is it works. I been desperate for a car to don't lose my job in this process and they no even offer me Options. Even like that I return to them one week after asking if that was possible to take a less expensive car and they say it was not possible, because my insurance have "no limits" and that was the option they can gave me. So that was confuse for me but ok I don't even had time to call farmers to confirm that version. Thing is I receive a call one week after saying I had to return the car cause my insurance just cover till 1000 dollars and that was one day to be done... oh oh.
After that I get to the same company in the rush and ask for a less expensive car one in the range of $23 something they offer me... When I get to the place in Euclid avenue that lady told me she was waiting for me and just five minutes before some one took the car she offer me... "So sorry we don't have this here anymore but I will give you another... it will be couple dollar more." At the end I had to accept a $30 a day car to don't back walking to my house. One more time 'cause I don't want to lose my job for a lack of a car I bite my thong and took it. Today after only one week this girl gave me a call totally mad saying I had to return the car cause she had to close the month and I debt 300 dollars... So I ask her why I had to return the car if I still need it and I will pay the total as soon as I return the car in three more days.
She just shout me on the phone screaming is not her problem and she need "her" car back at the end of the day and the 300 dollars... so... is incredible... I'm amazed of the way this company deal with customers after stealing their money. And plus you have to stand the horrible manners of the person that apparently is the manager of the place. They don't even act as employees at the people service... They act as self business owners... and don't even care in a human way for the people that ultimately are the sustent of those "rent" or I have to say robbery? Places. I don't even know the name of this young unexperienced and bad attitude lady there but if you come to California don't rent on Enterprise... at least not at the Euclid ave. office or at the West Katella ave neither.

My family member rented a car, but they kept delaying the pick-up schedule, which resulted me not being able to go to work on time and not a single pay offered to do such inaccurate and deceptive service by Verona Enterprise, NJ (lost $230 for the job at a court). Concerning the previous negative experience, my family member tried to arrange earlier for the pick-up schedule from her home to come in the store. For the 1st call for the reserved date, one of workers said it's too early and call 15 min. prior to the car pick-up, so she had to call just 20 min ahead to the car pick-up schedule but this time the owner said it's too late. The pick up person didn't show up until the original car pick-up schedule against the request not to be late.
It's already late for everything. So she complained to the manager (or owner) over the telephone on the way to the store, then the guy instructed the driver to throw her on the street to cancel the promised service. The guy knew that they were not getting paid after being late for the schedule, that's why they decided to throw someone who supposed to driving for a out of state job as a freelancer. What kind of inhumane and insulting service practice it is. After filed a complaint to the HQ, not a single contact has been made so far (since Feb. and May 2017). What a lousy service!! I may submit the 2nd case agreement another time.

Every time I have rented a car from this company, they have not had they car "in stock" as ordered. This time, I had to drive to Charlotte to get my rental; this was not even the location that the car was booked. When I picked it up I was told that as long as I carried insurance and liability my car would be covered. This, apparently, is not true. I had to switch out to another car after a sideswipe incident, then later was hospitalized. I attempted to reach a manager to let them know where the car was several times and received no response. After being released from the hospital about a week and half later, I was mugged and the car (with the paperwork) stolen. This happened when I was coming back from Enterprise in Charlotte to talk to them, since no one would answer the phone.
Enterprise will not work with your insurance company. Instead they charged me almost $2,000, without my knowledge, or assuring I was informed. I still do not know the full breakdown, and now have two different insurance people calling me since Enterprise will not deal with them. A manager has still not contacted me and I have again left multiple messages. I will never use this company again.

To verify that I did have a reservation I have listed the rental agreement. Rental agreement: **. Original rental agreement 9am Thursday 06-22-2017 to 9am Friday 6-23-2017 for $40 and some change. I recently set up a one day reservation in Tennessee at the Antioch location at 230 Crossings Place. We had flew in the evening before for a wedding the following day. It was only to be a one day rental. My partner and I fly standby and our flight was to depart the following morning. Due to being unable to fly out, I contacted the Antioch location to set up an extension for the weekly rate, since we'd planned to drive back up to Tennessee the following week from Florida.
When I originally called, I spoke with a young man, who I wish I had gotten his name, he quoted me an additional $124 to be added to the $40 that I was already paying for the daily rate, which would total around $164 for the weekly rate before tax. I explained to him that I was looking up prices and the weekly rate would be only $141 if I booked it and returned the current rental. He stated since I had the daily rate already, and then moving it to a weekly rate is the reason why it would be more than what I was seeing online at that moment. We ended the call cordially. Feeling a bit confused still, I decided to call the location back for more clarification. I called back maybe 30 minutes to an hour later (which was after the time frame when the rental agreement was originally due back before I extended it), when I called back just to confirm a few things about what I spoke about with the young man.
A woman answered the line, and told me that the price would be over $380 for the extension and there were no notes in the account regarding the young man and my conversation. Mind you at this point I literally have no other options and she knew it due to the timing. I said "what?" And told her I would have to call back. Feeling very frustrated and confused. I decided to take a breather before speaking to someone again, I was really trying not to get nasty. So I had to calm down first. I waited a little, then called back. Another lady was on the phone and said it would be $278 to extend. Feeling absolutely defeated, I reluctantly agreed.
Once we got to Florida, a family emergency made it difficult for us travel back the following week (yesterday 06-28-2017). However when I called and explained this I was informed there would be a $180 drop fee to another location. I was in shock as to the fact I was never informed of this by the 3 people I spoke to about the extension, with them full well knowing I was traveling back to Florida. As I am feeling like I have just been robbed of a good experience, and they literally got me, with no other option but to make the drive regardless of my family emergency. As much as I have loved Enterprise, this one did it in for me. I did not feel like a valued customer. I felt like a punching back to see how much money you could take from me at this point. I had to go ahead and drive to Nashville from Florida Wednesday evening after I got off work. 6-28-17.
On 6-28-2017 I called and spoke to a representative at the Antioch location and explained the whole situation. And she said she couldn't make any changes because Progressive bills in day periods not 24 hour periods (I used my Perkshare discount with my insurance company Progressive, this is a personal rental. Not an insurance claim). So I was getting charged for one week and 1 day which would make that 8 days practically. And I only had the vehicle for 7 days (which made absolutely no sense, she even sounded confused). She did offer to waive the drop fee for $50 at the Nashville international airport seeing as Tennessee doesn't allow after hours drop off.
I graciously accepted the help, obviously I had no other choice but to accept. So I moved on, and flew back home. I am very disappointed with the bullying someone into paying more $$$ experience I received. After I got home I called the Antioch location to ask for a receipt to be emailed to me, the girl on the line said, "Hold on one moment", and then said "My manager confirms the amount $278 is the correct amount"... Dumbfounded a bit considering I never asked if it was the right amount, nor did I even explain the chaos I had been through. I simply asked for a copy of my receipt... All this to say. I will not be setting up further reservations with this location, and I recommend that Enterprise as a company speak with your employees regarding the bullying tactics to get more money out of a desperate situation, where they know we may have no other options available.
It is bad business! Not to mention if I get told one more time that I am required to have your optional car insurance, I will seek another rental company to do business with. I will also be sure to broadcast it, so no one else has this type of horrible experience of bullying!!! Thank you for reading, I hope this long story helps whoever reads it, to stay away from Enterprise in Antioch Tennessee.

We rented a Dodge Durango SUV on June 14th from Enterprise Rental in Marietta, GA. It was a 4-day rental. On Saturday, June 17th while driving on the highway the tire sensor showed the air pressure decreasing in the back right tire. We pulled over to check the tire and put air into the tire. In our observation we noticed that there was a plug in the tire and we put air into the tire hoping it would allow us to make it home safely and without getting a flat. We continued on our drive and after approximately 4-5 minutes of driving, the tire sensor came on again and showed the tire pressure rapidly decreasing and then we heard and felt the plug being released from the tire. We had to pull over on the highway and begin the process of changing the flat tire. This was a very tedious and time-consuming task as cars and semi trucks sped by.
Once we got the tire off of the car it was very visible where the plug had come out from the tire and we noticed also that there was an additional plug in a different area on the same tire. So, it became very clear to us that Enterprise had rented us a vehicle with a damaged tire with 2 plugged holes. We put the spare tire on with the assistance of an amazing stranger named John. We returned the car to the Enterprise location on Sunday, June 18th with the damaged tire in the back of the SUV. We were unable to leave the key because the drop box was jammed. So, I left the car there and took the key to bring back when they would be open on Monday morning, June 19th.
When I arrived on Monday morning, I spoke with the young lady Kamia and explained why I still had the key. She explained that someone had put paper in the drop box which caused the jam. I asked her if they saw the damaged tire in the back of the SUV, her response was a blank stare. I told her to please have the manager call me because I needed to speak with her about the rental that they had provided us with a damaged tire. She said she would relay the message. My wife called me around 1:00 pm and asked if had spoken to anyone at Enterprise. I told her that no one had called.
She and my niece went to the Enterprise location and spoke to the same lady Kamia. She said the manager was in a meeting. Kamia explained that since our rental was at a family discounted rate, the best she could do was give us a free upgrade on our next regular rental. She stated this as if she was reading from her training manual. There was no apology for our inconvenience or any concern for what could have happened with the damaged tire that they were aware of was on the vehicle.
Up until this happened, we were very satisfied with our many rentals from this location and have always felt that they cared about their customers and our safety. But, that is no longer the case. We have pictures of the tire and we're seriously considering legal action. How can you rent someone a faulty vehicle with good conscience and not feel any guilt or remorse when it is brought to your attention. We're yet to hear from the manager but we got the receipt via email that we were charged in full for the rental. It's very disheartening to know that our safety and lives were not taken into consideration with this vehicle. We always check our cars prior to renting for car body damages. It's so hard to believe that they just didn't care.

This was agreed after my son spoke again with them on the phone. Everything leads to a overinflated tire due to it being run on a flat for a while when you look it up on the internet.

I rented a car in Kansas to go on vacation. I noticed through the instrument panel that one of the tires had a couple pounds less air in it before we left.

We had appointment we had to make so we went there and when we got back to the car a couple of hours later the tire only had 29 lbs in it. I figured we better have it looked at soon so we stopped at a Walmart thinking they could just fix it. When they took the tire off it was rotted and cracked all the way around the tire.
When I called the only number I had for them (their roadside service) they told me they would have to charge me for using their service. I told them I didn't need them to come out, I was already at Walmart. They set it up for me to pick up a different car the NEXT DAY, I needed something sooner because we were on a schedule. Tough. This was a front tire. We had traveled over 800 miles with it like that. The guys at Walmart put the donut on the back and put on of the good tires on the front for me. So we had to stay in this town waiting for a car the next day.

I'm convinced that they don't check these cars out before they take your money.

Enterprise shame on you for trying to stick me with the damage of a vehicle that I did not cause. I will fight you all with everything that I can to assure that you are not paid one dime from me.

She took all of my information then she asked me how will I be paying and I told her Visa debit, she then told she would need a utility bill with my name on it.
If you check your records, you will see I have ALWAYS used my debit card when I rent from Enterprise. I informed her, I don't have a utility bill with my name on it because all my bills are in my husband's name but it has our address on it which I thought would be proof that my husband & I live in the same household. She then went to say, "Well he has to be present and all the information will have to be put in his name". I told her, "He is out of the country on duty serving our country so there is no way he can come to the rental place". I was needing the rental to go to Georgia to see a sick relative.

So I took it over to Quick Quack and vacuumed it myself. It took a whole 10 minutes. Bottom line is if you are going to tell me not to vacuum it and then turn around and try to charge me to vacuum it that is not very good customer service in my book. Then again I guess if you rent from enterprise you better wear hairnets while you're driving their vehicles. The man was very rude to top it all off.

I called Enterprise Rent A Car and set up to rent a car from June 8 thru June 13 and they gave me a rate of $164.00 a week for a midsize car. I was also charged $150.00 security deposit due to the fact that I used my debit card to do the rental. The security deposit would be returned back to me once I returned the car back... When I returned the car back on June 13 I was asked if I wanted my security deposit returned back on the same card or on another card, I told them to put it back on the same card. Stating to me within 3-5 days it should be returned. 3-5 days has passed still no security deposit.
I called Enterprise and they told me, "Oh you will not be receiving security deposit because it went to pay for full coverage and other charges..." That I did not authorize. I am a veteran and I already have full coverage protection with USAA, I did not need them to charge me another full coverage and other charges that they claim my security deposit was used for. Enterprise Rent A Car in Newnan Ga. is a rip-off and I advised anyone who would rent a car. "DO NOT GO TO ENTERPRISE". I have not had my deposit returned to me as of this day, they will tell you one thing and do another when it's all over with. Enterprise Rent A Car of Newnan Ga, you have done a disheartening to customers who look for satisfaction in renting from you. I will never rent from you again.

Rented an Enterprise car for vacation trip in Houston, Texas at Enterprise on Will Clayton Parkway via Priceline. I was not informed that the location was not part of airport system and required a $15 taxi ride after useless round trip to airport location because of no shuttle service. Then on attempted return on Saturday afternoon, discovered this location closed Saturday at noon and was charged extra fee for returning the car to the airport location. This ended up costing me more than if I had rented from the on airport location. Will never use Enterprise or Priceline again.

I had an outstanding experience renting a vehicle at the Stone Mountain, GA office! On the rainy morning of May 30, 2017, my car broke down on the way to work. I was frustrated, so while my mechanic was on his way, I caught an Uber to work (because I still needed to get to work). At work, I realized I left the materials I needed at home, so my whole trip was useless. Knowing my car would not be ready this day, I planned to rent a car, found the best deal online at Enterprise using my Union discount, and paid online with the intention of them picking me up. But, when I called to confirm the reservation, the office said their power was out, but asked me to call back at 4pm.
My office locked up at 4pm; the building alarm would be activated. So I took another Uber to Enterprise hoping things would work out. Mr. Aaron **, Management Trainee, was calm, professional, and knowledgeable from the time I walked in. The staff was using tablets to conduct business and the batteries were low, but he remained sincerely positive, patient and during the unusual situation. He didn't realize that my day had been going poorly prior to coming into the rental office. However, his professionalism and attention to detail made the rest of my day so much better.

What a disappointment! I flew into Cedar Rapids Iowa and made a reservation for a mid-size car at Enterprise. I went to car rental in the airport only to find out Cedar Rapids has more than one location and I had made a Reservation for Dodge Rd. not the airport. Unfortunately the airport could not accommodate me as they had no extra cars. I took a taxi 8 miles and was charged $52.00 which is really high. Anyways, It was my fault so no complaints yet.
At Enterprise Dodge Road I was told they did not have a car for me yet as not as many people had returned cars that morning. I waited 45 minutes and then was told it wouldn't be much longer because they just sent a couple of their employees to the airport to pick up cars??? I could not believe what I was hearing. I just came from the airport and had to take a taxi (again, my fault for making the reservation at the wrong location) but then to tell me I had to wait because there were cars coming from the airport. Obviously the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. I ended up waiting over 1 1/2 hours for a car. Then they gave me a car with 40,000 miles and 1/2 tank of gas. I will never rent a car from this company again.

Okay, they can accept it but I now need a utility bill in my name. I have none because I am staying with relatives while I look for a place of my own. However they will accept a phone bill. Now I have one of those but because I am between places to live, it goes to my PO Box.

I have no problem with the service but I have a very big problem with the paperwork. I first had to pay a $200.00 deposit in which it was never put into the paperwork. The second problem was they charged me for 2 weeks on my card then told me that I would only get back $4.00 from my deposit. So now they charged full price for 2 weeks plus they took $196.00 of my deposit so somebody pocketed $197.00 which never showed up on my receipt. Then to top that off when I got my receipt the dates in which I rented the car was 2 days off from when I actually returned the car so now they can rent that car for another 2 days after I returned it. After I returned the car I called and told them about the receipt not having the deposit on it and they told me they would look into it and call me back and I never back from them.

Not only was he rude he brought a car that required safety issue maintenance such as a headlight bulb cracked out, trash and debris in the engine compartment, dirty on the inside front and back, it had dings and tar spots on the exterior, it smelled like sweat impregnated in the vehicle. After I asked the rep is this is the best they could do he replied blatantly "well if you want to change it you will have to be there between five and six you gonna be there," in a tone of voice you speak to your child with.

They give kickbacks to insurance companies in order to have ins. companies suggest them. I suggest as an educated consumer do not go to Alamo or National because Enterprise owns that as well.

Unless you have no choice, avoid Enterprise, especially if it's a one-way rental. I should have listened to my friend but what happened to him (in the USA) also happened to us (in the UK). When you pick the car up they do a walk around explaining that only body damage larger than their "bulls-eye" target they show you matters. There were a few minor scratches around the rear hatch area ("No worries, that's normal", I was told). The automatic hatch was sticking but usable, so we opted to just keep the car to save time. Again, "No problem", I was told. But it was not noted on the condition report which I assumed was fine because it was a mechanical issue.
Upon return (to another location from pick-up, which I suspect is part of the problem), I told them about the faulty hatch, and upon inspection they also found a small scratch on the side of the vehicle. Again, I was reassured that neither would be an issue but they "...just had to be noted as it's not our car". But two days later I received an email with a claim demand for vehicle damage from the pick-up location. This was followed up with a damage report itemizing the repairs needed and associated costs (essentially an appraiser report). It included costs for the scratch, rear hatch repair and work on the bumper! This essentially doubled the cost of the rental (though I intend to claim through an insurance policy). I objected but to no avail - this is clearly a business strategy.
If you do not take their (expensive) insurance, these guys are looking for any reason to claim against YOUR insurance. They are using that claim to either bolster their bottom line (my bet is that they just collect and don't actually repair anything), or to fix all the "fair wear and tear" issues you'd expect a rental car to encounter. They may be a little less expensive than the more professional companies like Avis or Hertz, but at least those guys accept that rental cars are never perfect! Next time I'll stick with a name I trust.

Steven (**: (insider)) the new manager we didn't really get along, bumped heads a lot and of course myself being a very angry lady just wanted to be in and out, get my rental and be gone. Well this particular Friday I was in a very bad mood, very busy and of course when I went in to get my rental well it wasn't there. This made me more angry and no matter how they tried to pacify me the more angry I got, so by the time Steven the manager came back from getting me a car from one of the other dealerships well, you could call me the angry ** woman I was enraged... so I am yelling at him in front of customers, his crew. I was just mad so he asked me to go with him to his office and he shut the door and sat down with a smile.
Oh my gosh what did he have to smile about. That's when I really let him have it and to tell you the truth, there really was not a reason for him to shut the door. I was LOUD. DIDN'T CARE. I WAS DONE, SO SINCE HE WAS THE MANAGER HE WAS GOING TO KNOW AND FEEL ME... well the craziest thing happened to me at this point. I am screaming, yelling and for some reason this man did not lose his composure. He sat quietly and listened to me and let me get thru my rant and this is the craziest part of all, instead of calling the police taking me home any of that he got on the phone and got me the very best rental he could get me... a 2017 Dodge Journey. I swear my trip was the most comfortable, safest trip that I have had in a long long time and to top it off I had to wait for about 30 minutes but this man never raised his voice. Stayed professional the whole time showed me the vehicle and even tried to show me how to work the system.
Told me there was no hard feelings on his part towards me and even shook my hand and told me to have a nice trip and safe return... this has never ever happened to me. I feel this manager and his crew deserve some type of AWARD ACCREDITATIONS, RAISE, EXTRA PAID VACATION, SOMETHING because not one time did this crew not stay professional. It was so amazing to me because I was not expecting that result... I know for a fact that I could not of been put in that situation if I had to deal with myself I would of quit... so to this manager and team I severely apologize that I was in a bad mood, that I could not control my temper that I put y'all thru that. I do feel very ashamed for my actions. Just please the best that you can please keep up the good work.
My weekend was amazing and it went that way because you all gave me A LOT of empathy and you all really knew how to connect and give compassion to this angry ** woman and for this I THANK Y'ALL SO MUCH!!!!

We informed her about our reservation and she immediately stated that she had no cars, then when she checked, she stated, "You just made the reservation."

Then she questioned the debit card issue and went as far as to state, "We don't take credit cards" and begin to elaborate about the other rental companies at the airport that does not take debit cards also. As I informed her, the website did not give us that information.
All I can say is that she was rude, absolutely not customer friendly. If the branch manager has such horrible customer service skills, I am afraid to connect with the employees that work under her leadership. I finally called one of the other Enterprise Rental locations (North Prospect) and talked to Brianna. It was totally the opposite of my experience at the airport. She was very friendly and helpful.

My next proposal was for them to come to my flat at 8 am (which is when their office is opened) and they said that it is not 'convenient' for an employee to collect me at 8 am and then drive me to the office, just before the starting time! All in all, I'll have to drag my two elderly guests tomorrow to the Enterprise office near me by using two different busses because Enterprise UK would not spare an employee to come and collect us - and it would take them less than 15 minutes to this!!!

While in the parking lot we had direct line of sight on the Enterprise facility... and as the employees left, they each hopped into what appeared to be cars not "rented". Could be wrong. Perhaps each of them made huge salaries allowing them to own $40,000 late model vehicles and those were personal vehicles parked in front of the door, in the same area where others drove off in rental cars when we arrived.

She stated there's a $75 fee if any pet hair is found inside their vehicle and showed me this is stated on the signed agreement; however, I was permitted to clean the car myself which is what I did. When I returned home, I examined my copy of the contract and that part was blacked out! What I signed (and they kept) was the whole contract and my copy did not have the same info! Misleading and corrupt in my opinion.
They know when the vehicle is returned after more than 30 consecutive days of use, there's bound to be something which qualifies as an additional charge. Plus, if it's nearing closing time, the customer will simply comply and walk away! The blacked out wordage is where they inform you of their "fees" and believe me, they have a fee for everything!!! But this, ridiculous, because the car was not spot free when I received it. Also, I only found ONE PERSON working there who was polite and genuinely friendly.

Expect the usual “we are experiencing an unusually high call volume” (translation we are too greedy to hire enough people to do the job”).
Don’t waste your time trying to modify a reservation online--it does not work. The jaunty phone message says: "You can modify your reservation online, simply click on Modify My Reservation." "It’s that easy!”. Not only is it NOT "that easy", it is impossible. Clicking online on "Modify" doesn’t do anything but take you back to the phone number for the "high call volume" message.

My experience with this company, especially the Hartsville SC location, has been absolutely HORRIBLE! The reps are rude, they never have a car when you need it, & everything they tell you is a lie. I had a bad experience after being in an accident right before Hurricane Matthew came through that left me & my 3 children without a vehicle. Just this morning I took my car in to be repaired where I was supposed to be picked up by Enterprise @ 10 am & they were a no show. That's right, people, Enterprise didn't show up! I sat there for 2 hours before I finally had to get my sister in law to pick me up. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!! DO NOT RENT FROM THIS COMPANY!!!

My nephew rent a car, when went to pick up the car, the agent asked for the insurance. I tell him that he will use his American Express and this credit card has collision and damage insurance. The agent who was taken care of us said not, that he had to use the insurance of Enterprise. If not they could not rent the car. Literally he forced him to rent car with Enterprise insurance. My nephew rent the car because he need it. Days later I call another location and I ask about insurance and they tell me if I have insurance in car credit card, I don't have to take their insurance.
When we returned the car he forgot two bottles of vitamins, we went next day early morning to claim the vitamins and they said nothing was found. The car was clean. I ask the men that clean the cars there and he said he didn't clean that car. Where are the twos bottles of vitamins? I cannot believe they stolen two bottles of vitamins. The agent was very rude, the worst service I've had...

Walked to Enterprise at the Toronto Airport on May 22, 2017 around 16:00 to find the front line staff busy on his cell phone while I am waiting in line to be called for service! Then, he noticed it and called me, I started by greeting him and he seemed to be unhappy because I bothered him of what he was doing on his cell phone. However, I said, "Please let me explain you my needs so you may direct me to the best option you have to uncover my needs."
My request was basically that I needed to rent a Minivan, Dodge Grand Caravan to use it for personal and business usage "driving for Uber" until I get back my own vehicle that was temporary out of service. He quickly replied, "You cannot do that..." I said, "I have here a reply email from Uber that I can drive a rented car!" He started to read the email and suddenly said, "Our Dodge is very expensive and will cost you around $700 a week", then called next customer on line in very unprofessional and rude way!!
I was really shocked because of the way he called other customer while he did not complete my transaction. I said, "How can you call other customer while I am still talking to you!" He said, "You can book online!" Again, I was shocked and said, "Book online while I am here on the counter!" He said, "I cannot deal with it, I have to take another customer." I said, "And I have to get information about my request". Then he said, "OK, I am sold out!" I said, "This is the way to deal with a customer request, may I know your name." Quickly replied, "Rayan and I am the branch manager." I said, "What a poor branch manager and I am sorry to come here today, you do not see how many competitors beside you in the area. I am going to check another company and will escalate this experience to your head office for further action." I hope they take it serious for customer experience and company image.

Called to schedule a pickup for a vehicle on May 16, 2017 to be picked up today May 22, 2017 by lunch. I am two hours from home so I just dropped my car off at the shop to be fixed. When I scheduled the pickup I told them I would be using the vehicle for at least one week and that I had lost my home in February to a house fire; this meant that I had no current utility bills in my name for the past two and half months. The lady told me that was fine. Got there today and filled out the papers just to find out that they could not find my name in the computer for reservation. The lady proceed to start the rental process anyway. After taking pictures of my license she then asked for a utility bill. I informed her that I had already spoke to someone about that when I made the reservation. She then gets on the phone and call someone (I'm hearing the entire conversation).
She gets off the phone and tell me that they can't give me a car without a utility bill. I asked her, "Did she mentioned that I don't have one because I lost my home to fire and had discontinued everything?" She replied, "Yes" and I called her a lie and told her that I heard the entire conversation. She then states that they still couldn't do it without a bill and that was their policy. I told her then they need to reconsider their policy before they lose all of their business. Went down the road to one of their competitors and walked in the door and explained everything and was placed in a car at a cheaper value within 10 minutes or less. Guess what? USave just gained my rental business for now on. Enterprise in Philadelphia, MS will not get my business anymore.
Not to mentioned that the last time I tried to rent from Enterprise one year ago, they almost pulled the same thing. Different was I was four hours from house when I hit a deer in my car and was in need of a ride. They had me running from Meridian, MS to Philadelphia, MS to Jackson, MS trying to get a car because of a utility bill. When I got to Jackson I was asked for any of the stuff that the one in Philadelphia, Jackson nor Meridian was asking for. They have lost my business for good. It's sad how you can go somewhere else and be in and out within thirty minutes. Thanks to God for blessing someone else with understanding with a rental business.

While my car was in the shop due to a accident, my insurance company sent me to Enterprise, at 2233 Washington. One of their employees met me at the body shop, with a Jeep Cherokee, (His name was **) and I gave him my debit card for the 50.00 deposit. I told him I would prefer a truck. He told me he could get me a truck for the same price (1st Lie). He said he would call me and let me know... He never called (2nd Lie) so I tried to reach him. I left several messages, that they told me they would give him, he still never called me. Then I tried to get gas, and the gas door wouldn't open, so I took that vehicle back, and they gave me a smaller Jeep. I really needed a truck, I have a landscape Business, so I asked again for a truck and I would pay the difference that the insurance company didn't pay... rented the truck for 2 days. I brought the truck back. They didn't give me a receipt saying what I owed.
They said it would take a couple of days. (Why so Long) Finally I happened to check my bank account, and they had charge me 62.00 for the deposit, and a week later charge me again 42.00, so I went back and asked them, "Why was it 62.00?" I spoke with a young lady name **. She said she didn't know why so she did some figuring and determined I was overcharged by 49.00 anyway and that she would issue a refund. I told her she did a very good job and that I would give her a report (they never even gave me a survey form).
I waited a week still no refund, so I went back to Enterprise and asked one of the managers to help me. He said he couldn't find any record of where they owed me the refund, so I asked for the young lady who helped me before, and she happened to walk in, and, she said she does remember me, and that she had put the request on someone's desk to be approve... so she told me she would reissue it again, AND I STILL HAVEN'T RECEIVED IT!!! This all started March 23, 2017. This location has VERY VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE... they lie to you to get you on your way, and when they lie, they are very courteous about doing so, I would like to know if anyone can help me getting this refund... How do I get a hold of the district manager.

I reserved a car with Orbitz, and paid a deposit, when I purchased my flight to Canada. When completing the paperwork at the Enterprise counter, I was told that the insurance for the car would be "around" $10.00 per day. However at the end of lease (34 days), the cost for said insurance was "around" $30.00/day making the cost of the insurance as much as the rental (around $950.00). Also I was never told that there was airport fees that would add an additional $300.00. Imagine my surprise when the cost turned out to be $2500.00 instead of the $900.00 I was expecting to pay.
The representatives at the counter could only credit my account for $400.00, and that was reluctantly done. I called Enterprise when I returned home to see if the main office could help me, but there seemed to be nothing they could, or would, do. In addition, the amount I paid to Orbitz for the car on the reservation has never been refunded by Enterprise. I will never use this company again. I should have read the reviews.

I've been renting from Enterprise since 2009 from 2 different locations and never once have I ever been involved in any accidents but that all changed on Dec 5, 2016. The experience since has made me NEVER want to deal with Elco Administrative Services again. Elco is a third party company Enterprise will claim however the state of secretary website will tell you differently. They hire to handle their accident claims process, and believe me when I say you DO NOT want to deal with this company. It's been months since my accident but the whole ordeal is still ongoing. I have been to court several times as a result of the initial accident. I received emails from Elco up until 1/24/17 and then nothing until 4/27/17.
Now I am being threatened verbally over the phone and in writing by Elco Administrative Services that they are going to take me to collections. They claim that they are owed money for damages paid out to the other party. Here's the thing... They didn't even contact me from 1/24/17 to 4/27/17 to keep me informed of anything going on with the case and then all of a sudden they want to tell me that I owe 3,050.11 for damages they paid out. I never was contacted before them agreeing to pay out any amount and have never been told what the damages were and whether or not they obtained independent estimates. I'm just supposed to take their word for it that the amount is what's owed. I never authorized them to settle on my behalf.
In this whole ordeal I learned that Enterprise Rent a Car is required by law to carry the state mandated amount of liability insurance which is to be provided when we accept insurance coverage from Enterprise. Yet I am being held responsible for damages. I have been unsuccessful in working with Elco or in having Enterprise handle this ordeal and I am now having to go to small claims on this issue. I've also had to file complaints with multiple companies regarding this matter. To make matters worse... My grandma died on Feb 4, 2017 and so I am also having to grieve her death while dealing with this whole ordeal.
It's ridiculous. It's like a nightmare that you just can't seem to wake up from. I shouldn't be having to go through any of this, and trust me it has made me NOT want to deal with Enterprise Rent a Car ever again. That's sad because I used to love renting from them, but I think I'm going to have to look for another rental car company.

Holy cow... If I could rate it at zero stars, I would. I went online to the Enterprise site, and set up my rental. This was at 3, but the online site said cars were available. So I figured it should be OK???? Not even close... I called the Tacoma location on 4th and St Helens street for my pick up. They told me it would be over 2 hours. But I only live .76 miles away! I told them I would just take an Uber over to avoid the hassle of waiting. I decided to walk because it's sunny. I arrived to a staff who was not only unfriendly, but completely rude and unprofessional. ** (** woman) never smiled one time. Then proceeded to tell me that ONLY a truck was available. I asked if she could call the other locations for a car and she refused. Then, right in front of me made calls to other locations for other reasons.
I asked for a ride back to my apartment, she said it would be 2 hours (in a very condescending tone). OF COURSE IT WOULD BE?!?!? Why would I expect anything less? I asked if I was stuck driving the truck, do they discount since I rented a car that would have had great gas mileage and now I'm stuck driving something with awful Mileage... Her response was, "I've decided I will not rent to you". Uuuummmm OK... So I walk all the way back home.
Call customer service who assures me that they can get me a rental at another location (same price) and they will pick me up. Nobody picked me up. At 5:30 I called and they said the reservation had been changed again to a further location... and guess what? They don't pick up where I'm at. So, it is now 6:04 and NOBODY from Enterprise had any real solution for me, so apparently a regional manager will call within 24 hours. I'm so glad that a reservation through Enterprise just cost me about $200 in Uber services. I really want to swear right now... But it would be completely pointless... You get the point. I now get to pay 95 each way to Seattle. This is absolutely the most un-amazing service, Enterprise. Congrats!!! :(

My insurance company set up a rental reservation for me through Enterprise while my car was being repaired. The incident with my car occurred on a Sunday so the office was closed. First of all, when we called on Monday coordinate a pickup at our home, either there would be no answer at the Enterprise office or we would be hung up on as soon as the line was picked up. As we are a one car family we had to find another way for my husband to get to work because I was unable to reach Enterprise until Tuesday.
On Tuesday when I finally reached an Enterprise rep the person I spoke with told me they could not assist me as my reservation was set up at a location 4 hours away from me and would not be available for another month. I advised the rep that may be another for another person with the same name however, that was not for me. I was then asked to advise the other name I used on the reservation. There wasn't one, only I was on the reservation. Also, on Tuesday I was later advised that I could be picked up at 5 pm but to call an hour in advance to confirm. I began calling over 3 hours in advance and encountered the same issues as the previous day (no answers, hang ups).
The following day, Wednesday, I called to find out what happened with my pickup and was told 'Yeah that was set up for today, should be any time'. Three hours later I call only to learn that there were no pick up cars available and I would have to wait. When I finally made it to the Enterprise location things seemed to have calmed down a bit but by that point I was so frustrated and ready to get back on the road I did not pay attention to the details, I did not notice that no photos were taken of the car I was receiving and that no damaged was noted on the paperwork when I signed for the car.
So today, just over a week after picking up the car, when I went in to bring the rental back to them several scratches were noticed on the front bumper. I cannot definitely say they were there when I picked up the car, again I did not take photos, the rep did not take photos but I can definitely say the scratches did not occur when I was using the car. That's also not to say that the car did not get scratched when it was in the parking lot at the office or at a grocery store. Point being I have learned my lesson, always take photos yourself to show the condition of the car at pickup.
I have just paid a $500 deductible to have my own car repaired and will now have to pay another $500 as a deductible for the repairs on this rental, which I do not feel I am responsible for. I wish I had read other people's comments on situations like this before I ever began this rental process. I will NEVER set up another rental with Enterprise. If you or someone you know MUST book with Enterprise please do your due diligence and take lots of photos of the car you're being given BEFORE ever leaving the parking lot with it. Hope this helps someone.

Enterprise policies and processes are directed at benefiting Enterprise (and insurance companies). I received a statement post-rental for a small amount, no problem. To try and pay this small amount has been ridiculous. No online payment, no phone payment at corporate or branch level (even with a card on file). Can't mail a check, unless it's a money order. So, I leave work early and get to the branch 2 minutes after closing.
Employee watches me get out of my car and hurriedly locks door and leaves. Daniel, the branch manager is in lot and comes up to ask if I am returning (a car). (Daniel, that didn't return my call earlier in the day when I called and he was "busy".) When I said I needed to pay a bill he first told me after looking at his watch they had been closed 5 minutes. He then added that their systems were down. Really? Business practices should be focused on making the complete process from beginning to end as uncomplicated as possible for customers. Enterprise does the opposite.

I rented a one-way car returning to the St Louis Airport. The agent at the airport got down on his knees at each corner of the car to look down the length of the car. He invented a dent on the back door which did not exist and wrote an incident report. I complained to the location management office about the non-existent dent and was informed that it was their policy to "Closely" inspect cars coming in from other locations. Obviously it is also their policy at the St. Louis Airport to invent damage so that they can defraud their customers and charge for non-existent damages. I will not rent from Enterprise again.

I had made reservations 1 week in advance. Went to pick car up and there was no car available. You can rest assure that I will never rent a car from you again. I work in a big company and I have shared my story with everyone, and will continue to share with whoever I can. Your company did me wrong, why do you even have a reservation program when you don't even honor it. This ruined my whole trip, I could not find a rental to save my life. I got the excuse that no one had returned their cars on time. If you have a reservation you should make sure a customer is covered. This shows me and everyone that has dealt with your company that you are not reliable and are not a top notch, first class entity. Thanks for ruining my weekend!!!

My car broke down near Fairborn, Ohio about 2 months ago. I needed a rental car so I called Enterprise... I had to wait for my rental vehicle because it was in the shop being serviced. I never rented a car before, but if I ever do again I won't make the same mistake by not taking pictures, getting videos of everything. I only had the rental car 5 hours... I drove from Fairborn to Dayton to follow tow truck in the rental to drop my personal car off at dealership to get fixed then I headed to Amherst, Ohio.
When I dropped it off. I was accused of damaging the roof... You couldn't tell unless your face was right on the roof... I get a bill for 3100.00 demanding I pay for that, some body scratches and other minor stuff to the body of the vehicle... Because it was not documented before I had the vehicle... They are blaming me. I did not damage their car... I will never rent from Enterprise again. My insurance is helping me fight this... Please... video and take pics of your vehicle before rent it... or you will be scammed too.

On May 1, 2017, I dropped my vehicle off to AutoNation Collision Center in Tyler, TX due to an auto accident. Your company has an Enterprise Rental center inside the Collision Center as well, which made renting a vehicle convenient. Your representative was friendly and swift; I was on my way in 10 minutes or less. On May 11, 2017 the Collision Center notified me that my vehicle was ready for pickup. About 3 pm I arrived at AutoNation Collision Center driving the rental, returning to the exact location of pickup. When I walked in I informed the representative at the front desk that I was there to pick up my car and return the rental, however no one was at the Enterprise desk. The AutoNation representative stated that she could assist me with both the rental return and the pick of my vehicle.
After receiving my car, the representative ask for the rental keys and I gave them to her. I asked for the return paperwork for the rental and she said there was none. I stepped out of the Collision office and called the Enterprise number listed on my rental agreement. This is where the nightmare began. The Enterprise representative at the local office stated that I could just leave and they would send someone to get the car and they would notify me if there were issues. I informed him that I have not received any paperwork for the return. The Enterprise representative then stated that if I wanted return paperwork I should have returned the rental to the main office. I told him I brought the rental back to the same location as the pickup and during the pick up I was giving rental paperwork.
He stated I would have to drive the rental to their main location and then come back for my vehicle, even though I told him my car had been released to me and was sitting in the street due to the heavy volume of customer flow at the Collision center. However he continuous informed me that if something happened to the rental I would still be responsible. This quarreling went on for about 20 minutes. Finally the representative, out of frustration and the lack of any more patience, stated he would send two associates over to get the vehicle, so I waited. When the associates arrived, the younger one went inside to retrieved the keys. I followed them back to the main office, however instead of parking the vehicle in the front, as they did during my other returns, the driver drove the rental to the back. I parked and went inside where Representative Chris Ivey was waiting at the counter.
I explained my concerns again about not getting return documentation, the inconvenience to me as a customer, the lack of communication given for rental returns, and if the Enterprise Center located in the Collision Center will not be manned during the Collision Center hours a sign needs to be displayed. Chris became very upset and short with me stating that customers drop the rental off all the time at the Collision Center without return paperwork and that it was common practice. Again I expressed my desires for my return paperwork. Chris abruptly walked away from the counter to the back. I continued to stand at the counter just waiting, not being told or given any direction.
While waiting another associate drove up and walked in. The associate asked me my name and stated he had been instructed to pick me up from the Collision Center and the rental car. I informed him that two other associates had came and drove the rental back. After about 10 minutes of waiting, Chris reappears and tells me to follow him to the back. We get to the back and Chris starts stating that the rental has hail damages. There were two other associates (I assume they were drivers or vehicles cleaners) in the back as well and they nor I could see any damage or dents. I asked Chris to point out or as Chris called it "Hail Damage". At that point, I walked back to the front counter and Chris ask me did I take the car out of the State of Texas and I reply No!! Rep. Chris then states that since the car has less than 100 miles on it there is no way I could have and begins to complete the return in the system.
The tension and frustration seems to be over and Rep. Chris and myself begin to small talk and laugh. He states he needs to refund my $50 deposit and I'll be on my way. While completing the paperwork, the power goes completely out and Chris tells me that he will email me my copy when the power comes back on. I say ok and he writes on my copy of the original rental agreement the following information (Copy attached): Veh checked in 5/11/17, computers down, 10330 - Full tank, need to refund deposit, signs his name and make himself a copy. At that point I tell him thank you and leave. It's now about 4:20 and I'm 20 minutes late from my lunch break. Halfway to my job, Representative Chris calls and states he's going to charge me for "Hail Damages", the same damages he could not point out to his two associates and me.
I firmly state to Representative Chris that his behavior and actions are unacceptable and that I'm coming back to take pictures of the rental for my proof. He states the car is in back and cant be brought back around, nor can I go back there (Hence the fact that he took me back there earlier) again I tell him that I'm on my way back and to have the vehicle available for pictures. Chris states whatever and hangs up on me. When I get back to your main rental office, I ask Chris for your corporate information and he refuses to give it me. Chris stated he was the corporate office. He informed me of his title and stated any complaints I wanted to file would come directly to him so I'm was wasting my time. I took his card and left. Just so you know, I had to google to get your corporate contact information.
