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

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

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

Rented a car at one location in Kentucky. I showed the clerk the damage on the back bumper. He told me that it was too minor to record because it was smaller than a golf ball. Drove car to Nashville, upon return the clerk told me that there was damage to the back bumper. Enterprise then put an unauthorized, fraudulent charge on my credit card. Called Enterprise who informed me that previous rentals of that car had documented the damage, and I would not be responsible for damage. I am still trying to get a refund or a charge back.

I want to start by saying this was the first time I ever rented a car and if I could give it 0 stars I would. They charge me $250 for a key. And I return the car with the key. Won't recommend them to no one that goes to Puerto Rico.

I rented a car from Enterprise because my car was in an accident. When I turned it in today they said that there was hail damage that I am responsible for. Tell me, how am I responsible for hail damage done to a car....it is an act of God! So now, on top of the stress of the accident, having to get a new car, Enterprise is turning in a claim that the car had hail damage. So shady! They could have written off easily, but no. I have no idea when the hail damage occurred, but it is just a scam set up so they can get more money. I will not be renting from Enterprise again.

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

I have a problem with how they bill loyal customers. I do not have a problem with the local office. I love working with them and will do so even though I am completely unhappy with Enterprise Corporate practices. I am a plus member and at times have rented cars as frequently as every other week. I am an individual. I had a family emergency and the local manager waited for me a few minutes past closing time just to get me in a car at the last minute. However, he had to charge me three days for returning a car I rented Thursday at 6 pm and returned on Saturday at 6 pm. That is literally 48 hours and I was charged for 3 days. It seems as though they are out to charge extra and not really work with the community as a "family business" as they claim to be.

Stay away from the Enterprise on hwy 6 and beechnut in Houston Tx. I rented a car from san antonio airport and choose to return to the location in Houston. When I arrived Diamond ** was supposed to assist me with the return. She took the paperwork, went outside to inspect the car, came back and said "you have to return it to the airport." I told her that when I did the reservation I choose this location for return which I showed her on my email. Diamond ** became very rude and told me to leave. Mind you she had no shoes on and was eating while she was talking to me. I will not rent from enterprise anymore. Will stick with HERTZ or BUDGET. Never had no problems with them. This is what happens when companies hire these young, inexperienced people, pay them peanut. End result, poor customer service.

The worst company and customer service ever. I needed a rental car with pick up, I Googled the closest enterprise and I called. The person who I spoke to verified that I was within the radius for pick up, less than 10 M and less than 15 minutes. Made the reservation over the phone and we also scheduled a pick up time and got a confirmation number. Next day the pick up was later 90 min. I called the office, the manager said "Oh you need to remind us" although it shows in front of her that I was scheduled to be picked. I said "OK can someone come now?" She goes "OH YOU ARE OUT OF THE PICK UP RADIUS." I WAS WITHIN 10 mile and less than 15 M per all Google maps.
The agent who helped me the day before that verified that. MY HOUSE DID NOT MOVE. The people in that office they did not even bother to look at the pick up list. And if they did not have anyone to pick me they did not even bother to call. I called the 800 number and received the worst service ever. The worse of the worst of customer services of all companies and business I have ever seen.

Enterprise car rentals is the worst company I have ever had to deal with. We drove 13 hours in a van that was infested with German cockroaches. I mean over hundreds of them. We called and they would do nothing for us. They told us to buy bombs and set them off. Which we did and it did absolutely nothing besides make more come out and try to escape. We opened the doors and they were jumping out. Worst experience and horrible customer service. Did not get any help after spending a grand to rent this huge van. Do not use Enterprise.

I was given a rental while my car was being repaired at a body shop. My insurance covered the rental. I did take out the side insurance for $10.99 to cover anything that happen to the car while in my possession. I was told by the employee that it would be taken out of my deductible and that if it exceeded my deductible I would be contacted. I never got a call. Upon returning the car I was told I owe $90+ more. I wasn't going to say much but when asked "How would I rate my experience with them," I told them that I wasn't pleased that I was told that I would be contacted upon reaching the deductible amount. The employee asked, "Well, is this your signature?" I kept my composure and told him, "Yes, but it don't change the fact that I was still told I would be contacted ahead of time."
He then apologize after his sarcasm and begin to give excuses about how busy they've been. I continued to be cordial and told him, "I understand." I do understand, but that's no excuse! Everyone that come to them aren't coming for a car to rent for vacation. My car was hit while parked at a school and the driver of the other car kept going. On top of that my family has suffered a big financial crisis and I had to pay the deductible for my car and an additional almost $100 (that I had to call someone and borrow) plus the car rental deductible. Had I have been notified like I was told I probably would have returned the car ahead of time and did without a ride for a few days. I didn't need fuel added to my fire! You know, it's not so much the additional money which I admit it hurt but the sarcasm toward me just for addressing what I was told was the fuel. I do want to add that the rest of the staff was friendly.

Hi. I have rented a rent a car from Enterprise several times. I usually have been happy with them but this last and final time, when I return the car on Sunday, the guy at the check out looked over the car and said that it was fine. Then he printed the receipt and didn't say a word about any damage of the car. Then about four months later I receive an email from their damage recovery unit saying that there is damage on the car for nearly $2500. I was really upset that they were claiming things I didn't do. I send them an email immediately, telling them the above fact and didn't get response until today. I have rented for more them 20 times with the major rental companies. This is the first time that the rental company trying to charge for damage that I didn't do. Any advice?

The evidence supports the thesis that Enterprise steals the deposit from many customers. I returned a car yesterday, at 12:00 noon. My deposit had not been returned by 4:00 p.m. I called reservations, and expressed my displeasure. An hour later, I contacted Enterprise headquarters, and advised them, if the money was not restored within 25 hours, I would file lawsuit on Monday for fraud and other torts. Within hours, the money was returned to me. If anyone needs any assistance, I would like to help.

Made a reservation for a car this morning and got a confirmation. Great - we are all set. 3 hours before they close they call me and tell me they don't have any cars. Told me they haven't had any cars all day and there are 11 people with reservation and only 3 cars expected to be returned before the close of business. Really? How can I make a reservation at your location when you don't have any damn vehicles? Why would you wait till 3 pm to call me and tell me you don't have any cars? I asked them if they could go to another Enterprise location to get a car but they said they can't do that.
I called customer service and they were NO HELP. I asked about getting a car from a different location and they said they could check but the price could be cheaper or more expensive. I asked if they would match the price that was given to me by my other rental that I had booked and they said no I would have to pay the difference if there were any. REALLY? I'm in a bind because of your lack of being able to keep track of how many vehicles you have and not being able to provide me a car after you gave me confirmation that I could get a car THAT day!! HOW DO YOU STAY IN BUSINESS???

On June 23, 2016 my husband went to pick up his rental car from the Nashville airport. I had spoken to Enterprise directly and made this reservation. They knew it was a one way car rental which I was paying a $50 drop off fee. They knew I was using a debit card. Upon arriving at the counter he was told he needed a credit card since he wasn't returning it back to Nashville and Disney have an itinerary for the next 24 hours. He was told he could rent a car from a non airport location with a debit card but they were "out".
I spoke to the person and explained that when I made this reservation I was told a debit card was no problem and that a one way rental was no problem. I was told that it was THEIR ERROR and there was nothing they would do to fix it. I then called and spoke to a supervisor who said he saw it in the reservation notes exactly what I said but again "WE ARE WRONG". He said he would file a complaint with district supervisor but it would take 48 hours! WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!! Unless you want to risk being stranded don't rent from them!!!

I rented a vehicle over the Enterprises' Website. When I picked up the vehicle I changed my mind about accepting the insurance coverages they offered and declined them. When Enterprise billed my credit card they billed me for the coverages I had declined in writing. I had to call 4 times over 21 days to get a unpleasant manager who would only give me a first name, to acknowledge the issue and to say he would refund the charges. He did so and abruptly hung up with me in a most discourteous manner. The car was fine and I have no complaint about the actual rental and use of the car.

I would give this Enterprise along with its entire company a Zero if it were possible. I rented a vehicle and it was damaged. As we ALL know, they said, "oh that's not significant, just sign here." I took pictures of the damage before I left and when I return the same guy states that I'm responsible for the damage. He asked me what my deductible prior to renting. An insider told me that he did that to ensure that you won't get your insurance company involved. If the damage is less than the deductible, Enterprise does not have to deal with the insurance company.
I attempted to talk to the complaint department. I received an email stating send us our money for $968.00. I stated that I would not be giving them any money for this scam. I explained that I sent up a complaint 3 months ago. The lady responded while on the phone with my insurance company that she was not aware and the customer service department doesn't talk to the other departments. WTF. What's the point of a Customer service department? The next week I received a phone call from the District Manager and he read a script to me. Can you say UNAUTHENTIC? He shared that script over and over. Horrible experience. Can you say Lawyer? Enterprise are scam artist and would not even accept my pictures as evidence. No more Enterprise for me and my family.

Did you ever check the top of a car you were going to rent? Why would you? I will tell you why. My daughter and son-in-law rented an "Enterprise" car in New Orleans - their hometown. They were coming to visit with me in Clifton Park, NY. They didn't take their own car because they were bringing a truck back. They returned the car to Schenectady, NY. They were then told there were "SCRATCHES & A SLIGHT DENT ON THE TOP-OUTSIDE." You can not see the dent. It is so slight. They didn't use the luggage rack and who knows how long those scratches were there - the dealer in NOLA didn't have them check the top and they never even thought about it. Apparently, they were trying to get them pay for someone else's damage. My son in law refused and is willing to fight this to the end as this is a scam - a good one at that. CHECK THE TOP BEFORE YOU RENT!!

I was struck by a vehicle insured by GEICO. They paid for a rental car for me with Enterprise on North Dale Mabry in Tampa, Florida. They were nice to come and pick me up, they were nice when I got there. They asked for a Visa Card for a 50.00 deposit, okay, so far so good. Well it took longer to fix the car than expected, it was six weeks. When I brought the car back they said I personally owed 820.00. I told them the Insurance was paying for it. They said they would take care of it.
A few days later my checking account was 820 in the whole - they took out the money without my permission, causing 175.00 in overdraft charges. I never gave them the permission to charge the card a second time. They should have called me when the thirty days was up so I could return the car, and start fresh, they violated Florida law by renting it for over a month and violated their contract. Then when I needed a ride home the assistant manager female refused - said I lived too far. I told her, "I was not too far to come and get me..." Never, ever again, do I rent from Enterprise, they are crooks.

First experience I had was pretty bad. DULUTH HWY LAWRENCEVILLE. They gave me the worst car there. Needed a rental because I just had a car accident, so I was not needing a junker, I had to constantly check tires, etc... Next experience, a month later, because the body shop didn't fix my car right, so I had to return. This time I tried another one, I had to walk from the car dealer, OLD NORCROSS SATELLITE DULUTH. No cars available, no offer to take me to another Enterprise anything, just a quick "we have no cars" and ignored me.
So I went back to the original one. Called and they had cars available DULUTH HWY LAWRENCEVILLE and would send me to the front to see when they could come pick me up 3 miles up the road. The girl answers and says "Can I help you." Now, their recording keeps saying "We will come get you." I say, "Yes I am reserving a car and wanted to see if you can get me at this other Enterprise, they have no cars..." "Yeah, no!" She says... I said "ok, I'll call Hertz." She says, "OK"!!!

I am not a customer, but I was hit by a truck and trapped up under the passenger side door. The driver kept dragging my suv after me and my 2 kids got out, and as I begged him to stop, he refused until he freed my car. After it was released my daughter yelled that my car was still moving and was about to hit other vehicles. I forgot to put it in park due to fear we were going to be crushed, so I hopped in the passenger side and quickly placed it in park. I wasn't sure how it happened because I wasn't able to step on the break. Anyhoo, as I was busy doing that, they ran off! I started to chase, but people were telling me not to.
My daughter got the plate number, but when I called, Customer Support CLAIMED that because I didn't have the state of the plate, she was unable to help me...?! I'm thinking "How many 16' trucks do they have with that exact sequence?" So now I'm stuck with a $1700 repair bill! THIS COMPANY IS HORRIBLE! When it comes to doing what's morally right... forget about it. My father just bought it for me as a birthday gift at the end of May, and because it was paid in full, I only took out liability since I was responsible for paying. Hopefully the police will get them to pony up the information on the driver, or pay for the damage... which I doubt.

I had an awful experience. The car I rented from the Milwaukee Airport, WI had broken down on the side of the road. Trying to get something done immediately was impossible. I was told if I wanted a car brought to me and exchanged it would be a 3 to 5 hour wait. I paid good money to rent a working car. Then when they took me to the nearest rental place the manager acted like he didn't want to be bothered.

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

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

I was told no one was available to pick me up and there will be no cars available until 3 PM that day. The lady assisting me assured me that at 3 PM she would call and have someone come to the location where I was to pick me up and further assist me. 3 PM came and went no one ever called.

She then proceeds to assist me entering the information into the system only to then tell me that there was a red flag on my account and that a car cannot be rented to me until this hold was lifted. She provided me with the customer service number and claim number so that I can get the matter rectified. Upon calling the number provided the representative explained that it was a mistake and the hold should be lifted and will be lifted immediately. That was far from the case. I proceed back to the counter to be assisted. The lady that assisted me prior was now working with a new customer a man begins to assist me.
I explain to him the situation and state that the representative just told me that there was an error on my account and that the hold should be lifted. He then communicates to me that in fact it is not lifted and refuses to service me. I told him that I just spoke with a representative from their claims department communicating the circumstance and that she communicated to me that the hold would be lifted immediately. He then proceeds to argue back-and-forth, refusing service, being very rude and belligerent unnecessarily. I asked the man his name Jumanji he stated. I then asked to speak with the manager. Unimaginably shockingly enough he was in fact the MANAGER carrying on in such an unprofessional, unsophisticated manner lacking basic etiquette, management or communication skills.
I asked was there someone else who can assist me since he clearly wasn't, he offered no assistance, no alternatives, no options, no suggestions, no nothing just a piss poor juvenile attitude, broken English and unprofessional low class service to follow. He continues on a rant stating that this is his business and he's refusing to service me.
Last I checked Enterprise was a franchise. Contrarily according to him he owned the location and everything in it. I've known Enterprise to pride themselves on superior first class customer service in my past experience. Yet the nightmare I experienced at this location was quite the contrary. A complete and utter disaster. The level of professionalism lacked from the very beginning and continued on throughout my entire stay. I was extremely disappointed and Highly dissatisfied with the level of service provided or complete lack thereof. I will be reporting my concerns to the Better Business Bureau and taking my business to Hertz going forward. If you're considering this location save yourself the disparity and don't.

I am pleased to report back that this matter was finally solved. Enterprise Cooperate was finally tracked down my actual bill and the amount. I even had the choice to work out a payment plan if needed. After payment was received in full, I was taken off the "Do Not Rent List" after 24hrs. Thank you so much!

Was placed on "Do not Rent list" several years ago for an accident that had nothing to do with me. Found out it was on my credit so I end up paying off this bill. Now as a business owner, found out that I am still on this list and we can not do any form of business together.

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

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

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

It became my responsibility to correct the error. I called the office I rented the car from and I had to force him to look at the contract. He corrected the error but made no effort to apologize. Again I contacted road side assistance and was finally able to get another car. My issue is that not one Enterprise employee apologized. The only person to apologize was the Q&A wrecker driver.

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

We arrived to pickup the van at 9 am only to be told the only way to accept our form of payment which was a debit card, we needed two forms of proof of residence in the form of some type of utility bill or bank statement. Credit cards don't require this unheard of type of treatment. After presenting two PDF statements the uncaring individual working that day, we were informed along with the two other people there attempting to rent that if we had any unpaid balance on either of the utility bill statements they could not be used. My wife and I opted to just leave and drive our own vehicle. In the time we were there 3 other people left without a vehicle for the same reason. This was my last time dealing with Enterprise.

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

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

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

I want to start by saying this was the first time I ever rented a car and if I could give it 0 stars I would. My fiancé put in the reservation with Enterprise. They sent him an email stating the cost would be about $338 and we would both be covered. We tried to go the Friday before getting the car to make sure we wouldn't run into any problems. Marcus, one of the assistant managers helped us that day said we had to bring the paperwork back when we got the car which was fine but that was all he told us. When we went back to get the car of course we ran into problems which was what I was trying to avoid. The price was not $338. You have to have full coverage which they didn't tell us and if you don't you have to buy their coverage and if you're not married then the only one to drive is who has every bill in their name.
I don't know the guy's name whom we dealt with at first when getting the car but he went to lunch right in the middle of it. So we dealt with Zach another assistant manager. He tells us the price of the car with the deposit of $150 plus the coverage was $475. So we thought ok that's what they charged our card at the time. So we had it for 10 days, Zach had me sign for things I wasn't charged for but he said I was at the time. So when we came back they said we still owed for the car which they are suppose to charge everything upfront but they didn't apparently.
None of them are on the same page and how Zach and Marcus became assistant managers is beyond me. They are very incompetent and unprofessional. They advertise all these great deals but it's not at all what you pay. It may be in the fine print on tv but honestly who the hell can read that??? It should be made aware when you set up the reservation. Honestly I wouldn't be so pissed if everything was told to begin with. Instead they just look like complete and totally incompetent idiots!!!

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

As a result of a class action lawsuit (Lee, et al v. Enterprise Leasing Company), I received two vouchers, each good for one free rental day for up to a full sized car. I made a reservation for a full sized car to be picked up at their Ridgecrest, CA office and returned to SNA airport in Orange County. The Ridgecrest office would not honor the two vouchers for two days, kept BOTH vouchers and only credited me with a one day "free" rental. They would not return one voucher so I could use it for another day. Further, the Ridgecrest office gave me a small car instead of the one I requested.

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

One have to call upfront even though they have reservation and have to be prepared to wait for couple of hours (to get for the same rate) or end up paying $90.00 which is their "discounted rate " as they want to help you out, otherwise go home empty handed.

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

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

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

I've made a formal complaint to this company concerning a car rental experience in which I was denied Rental Access due to a service my son who during that time, resided in the same house with me. I attempted to rent a car in the Memphis, TN area and was denied by this company because they said my son lived at the same address with me and he was not compliant with his auto payments to them. Really? This was so offensive to me, considering the fact that I am a very ethical and loyal person. I have nothing to do with my son's behavior who during that time was maybe 30. I can't understand for the life of me, why they would penalize me.
Also, I'd made several rental agreements with them before my son did the business with them. They still stated it didn't matter, and that was their rules. I called their corporate offices and they confirmed that it was their rule. So whoever made this rule or by laws for this company, in my opinion, was very unfair and inconsiderate of the feelings of others. I have told several people and to this day yet writing reviews, as my situation was never settled. This matter was quite disturbing and has released a negative impact whenever this company comes to mind.

This was the worst renting experience I ever had with a renting company and it happened in the Stuttgart Airport. First of all I had to go and take the car without even a representative of the company be there in order to check together the car and agree in the damages that the car already had. They just force you to sing, go alone to take the card and provide you with a card and a number to call if there is any problem.
After the end of my renting (a 10 days one), I saw in my credit card an extra charge of 230 euros. After spending a lot of hours in phones and talking with different representatives of the company that they couldn't explain me why I had charged, they send me the receipt where I saw that they had charge me for extra insurance. I didn't agree to any extra insurance and this was written also in the contract. I had to send them a copy of the contract because they somehow lost it and after a lot more phone calls, I had my money back after 2 weeks.
I didn't had any explanation on why this happened. I strongly believe that this is something that the company is doing just to gain more money in case you have lost your contract. I would suggest to anyone to avoid the specific company and the companies that are work under the same umbrella (Alamo, Enterprise, National). It's clear that the company follow poor ethics and offer low quality of service.

Last weekend I attempted to rent a car from Enterprise. I went online and filled out all the forms and provided all the information they asked for. I received a confirmation number and thought all was set. The next day I got a call from Enterprise requesting a credit card number. I do not have a credit card. I had provided a debit card number with sufficient funds in the account to cover the cost of the rental. Enterprise informed me that I must have a credit card or they would not rent me a car.
I cancelled the reservation and went looking elsewhere. I was able to rent a car from Budget without a credit card, and thanks to advice provided to me by a Budget representative, I saved $400 on the rental! The Budget rental was less than 1/2 the Enterprise rental. Long and short, an archaic company policy led me to do more research and found me a much, much better deal! I will never attempt to do business with Enterprise again.

Not only the worst service but also put unidentified/missed damages to customer with huge amount of claim than actual damage. On Feb 1, 2016, I attempted to rent a car at ENTERPRISE at ANAHEIM. There are many customers waiting there and complained about long waiting time and wrong car size, etc. I waited almost 3 hrs there to get the car too. Anyhow I got the car and the Enterprise guy didn't seem to care about damage records besides of big noticeable ones, like other rental car company, such as FOX where I rented cars with before.
When I returned the car, they claimed almost invisible scratches as my fault which I was not aware of it at all. They almost forced me to sign the claim documents and took $500 deposit for repair. Few months later, I got other bill notice, $184.10 MORE for few light scratches on the left side of car?? I requested them to send detail of repair about outrageous cost, then I noticed they repaired other side of scratches which I did not make too. I have rented so many cars with other rental companies including Enterprise in Cypress before but this Anaheim Enterprise office is the worst one ever! Do not trust Enterprise staff who check the existing DAMAGES ON THE PAPER BUT PUT EVERY DETAIL, SMALL OR INVISIBLES ON THE PAPER BEFORE DRIVE THE CAR!

I am very and utterly disappointed with the Enterprise Rent A Car Amsterdam, NY for a number of times and I feel like I'm being racially profiled since I'm not an American citizen by birth or my names sound weird or different. I have never had any bad service with Enterprise until I went to this branch. The branch manager Rebecca is so unprofessional and incompetent. It's like she has no clue on being a manager. My first experience with her was that she wasn't helpful enough since I had issues with my credit card as though she just wanted to get rid of me. Eventually I ended up leaving without a car.
The second time was 9 March. I made a reservation for 10am. Ended up getting it after 1pm after waiting for it in a hot blazing sun for them confusing a Walmart store to a Walmart where I was suppose to be picked. It's funny though cause I called in and spoke to Rebecca with where I specifically said the DC and they had picked me up there before. I ended up not being able to make it to a life-changing meeting with an associate of mine. The third time I made a reservation last Thursday for the 18 May only to call in finding out that Rebecca even after speaking to her in person when I had dropped off a rental she had not went ahead and booked me another rental car.
Today I'm suppose to meet with a lawyer to discuss immigration purposes but I didn't get a car. I called in and a person by the name of Alicia ** holding ranks on me saying that she is the district manager paying no attention or failing to recognize my problem of what Rebecca had done and that I was being rude that she was going to hang up the phone. I spent over $500 with this branch alone renting and I feel like I'm being told indirectly that "Even though you have rented here with us we definitely don't need your money." Customer treatment is very pathetic and such incompetence in this branch I wouldn't even recommend any of my friends or associates with Enterprise and I don't think it even deserves a single star.

I rent from Enterprise at least once a quarter, so when making my reservation I entered the time I needed it and the return date. When I went to the office to rent the car I was told that this location would not be open but I could return it at another location less than a mile away. I didn't have a problem doing that. On my way back there was an accident and I realized it would put me about an hour and a half later than I had scheduled and was told by their customer service that the hourly rate would go into effect. Again not a problem to pay for the extra 1 1/2 over. However when I get to the location there is not a drop box. So I call and speak customer service and this time speak with a lady by the name of Yolanda in customer service. I tell her that I am at the drop-off location but there isn't a drop box. She looks and tells me that there isn't one at that location.
Again I ask her to look at two other locations that are within 2 miles of each other and needless to say they don't have a drop box either. So my next question is what do I do with the car. She tells me "without a drop box you will have to pay an extra day." I am furious so my question again was "because there is not a drop box at three of your locations I have to pay an extra day for a car that I didn't need to keep an extra day." So the next morning I arrive bright and early at 7:30 thinking customer service probably had it incorrect. Surely I will not be charged an extra day because of your error. Lo and behold I ask the same question and was told "yes we apologize for that but you will be charged."
Aside from that how was your customer service REALLY, and you tell me to come back and rent from you??? This is a horrible way to do business so if you are late although your contract states that there is an hourly fee it really isn't an hourly fee it is an additional daily fee...

At first everything was fine, they were very polite and friendly. Then things moved along. I was asked to take out the extra damage waiver for 20 which covered tyres, windscreens and scratches. I kindly declined their offer. In the next 3 minutes I must have been told 4 or 5 times that I'll be liable for 1000 costs if there's a problem. I was then asked where I would be taking the car and I felt this was more about where and what conditions I'd actually be driving in. I then had to pay 200 on my card which would be refundable if there's no problem.
We then went out to the car to inspect it, their office and the cars are kept in a multi story car park. The girl proceeded to "check over" the car with the light from her mobile phone, as we all know car parks are poorly lighted places so how they think this is an exactable way to "check over" a car is beyond me. You can't see a thing. I was then asked to sign all the forms and again I was told about the 1000 charges that I'll be liable for. In the 5 minutes I'd spent there I was already expecting there'd be a problem when I got back.
Took the car out for 8 hours no problem. I arrived back at the office and had to wait as there was another customer already complaining about something else, not my business as he was going to make a complaint but I will say the "manageress" that served him was very condescending to him. After a 10 minute wait I was seen, taken out to the car, the same mobile phone light inspected the car then there was the predicable "oh there's a problem."
The problem that I could see coming from a MILE away. There was a small mark on the tyre (debatable) and I was told "Sorry you have to pay the 1000 for a new tyre." My reply "of course I do." I was then told because I had to wait for 10 minutes they'd reduce it to the 200 they already taken on my card (handy). They just wouldn't refund me. At this point I told her I had insurance from another company for 1.99 so I was covered. While I was in the office my wife and daughter waited outside, she witnessed the 2 guys who clean and check the cars driving them around the car park at high speed and it seemed they were racing each other. Very unprofessional and very dangerous.
I was basically told I needed to take out their insurance, unbeknownst to them I already had it. I hired a car for 8 hours and it cost around 265. The worst thing about the whole thing is that you could see it coming from a MILE away that there was going to be a problem So sadly beware, I went to Enterprise as I've never hired a car before and I went to a well known company thinking this could be avoided.

When I walked into the facility I saw a line and was a leery about the wait time to return the keys and vehicle. The manager Trina asked if anyone in line waiting to return. I told her that I was returning. She took my paper and keys and proceeded to walk outside to do a walk around, but was interrupted by another customer. While waiting and looking for Trina, I asked Nick (who was sitting next to her) “Where did she go?” He asked "Who?" in a very rude way. I said “The lady that was sitting next to you.” and he responded rudely "I have no idea." I told he him that he didn't have to be so rude!
I asked the manager (Trina) for his name and hers. Nick overheard the conversation and said “Nick **! Do you need my ID#?” I said “Sure. That would be great. It would help them identify you better!” I was really upset as to how him as a customer service person could be so rude/disrespectful and represent your company in that manner. Customer service good or bad has a lasting impression on your company and the rental car market is very competitive. So I would recommend getting a more inviting personnel to help your customers when they had questions and not someone that makes you feel like they are annoying you!

I went to pick up the car up at the Fargo, ND Enterprise and waited 57 minutes before I had a car available for me. I was told a car just came in and they had to clean it. I asked how long that would take and I was told just a few minutes. I asked again, 30 minutes into the wait, how long it would take and I was told a couple more minutes. I was offered another car that had a cracked windshield. I said I would take that car because I was tired of waiting and was very late to my destination already.
No one took me to the car and I waited another 30 minutes for the car. At this point I was extremely mad and the two associates that were inside were avoiding me. It felt like it was because they knew I was extremely irritated. The three people were the first guy who helped me that provided no assistance at the end, a guy who just got off his lunch break and a supervisor. The supervisor never acknowledge me even though it was apparent she knew what was going on because I heard her ask one of the employees.
When we got outside to inspect my car, I inquired about what happened to cause such a delay. I was told they had a crazy morning and then told my car was given away to someone that walked in during the morning. During my wait I was offered an SUV; however, due to my reason for renting a vehicle using such a large vehicle would not have been cost effective for me and this should have been offered to the person that came in without a reservation.
Once I got the car and was on my way the car was shifting really hard when going above 30 MPH, it felt like someone hit me from behind it was such a violent shift. Due to the long drive I had ahead of me, I felt this car was not safe to drive. I immediately turned around to exchange the car. When returning the car I explained what happened and the supervisor said that is how that car drives. I have never driven a car that shifted so hard that I didn't feel safe.
They did switch the car to another car that clearly wasn't clean. I ended up arriving two hours late to my destination because of this ordeal. I was told due to all of the issues that were their fault that a manager would call me over the weekend to see what they could do to set things right.

As I am near 80, I realized the Mr ** must be think he is a big shot and that I am the old guy he can treat me any way he feels. He said even if I brought my wife's card, he would still not rent the car to me. This guy treated me like a homeless worthless person. This even though in the last year I have rented from that office 4 times. He told me to leave. He forgot that their driver had picked me up. I had to remind him that I needed a ride to get back to my office. I was taken back by a driver who was in a hurry and in a construction zone. He ignored the speed limit and almost lost control the vehicle.
I finally told him to slow down and observe the 25 mph limit. It was a poor example of management not trying to come up with a $100 solution even though I suggested that he call someone in his management to help solve the problem. He said he had all the answers and he did not need any advice on how to help with resolving the $100 problem. He was a rude, uncreative manager who enjoys running down old people or other he believes are inferior to him. PS I have a PhD, have invented a number of important electronic devices, and also was a professor at CSFU and UCI. This manager should be disciplined.
Updated on 06/18/2016:Enterprise has failed to contact me after 6 weeks. We do not have a message machine and they can call from 9:30 am - 5 pm m-f. They have not reimbursed me for my inconvenience nor have they called me to apologize. What an un-thoughtful manager they continue to use. I was not the first person he abused. He did the same insulting display to another customer who gave up and walk out on my previous visit too.

Upon arriving at 3:17 am in LAX, I clearly told the lady behind the counter that I want to deny all insurance offers being that I will be using my American Express card and fully covered. She said sure and told me to put my initials right near the insurance offers. Having done this many times before I believed her and did as she said. After 2 months I saw a massive charge from Enterprise on my cc statement. When I received the breakdown from American Express I saw she had told me to put my initials to accept all insurance charges. Furthermore they gave me an old SUV that smelled and made me car sick and charged 5.99 a day for the radio which I didn't turn on. That charge is scribbled on the side of my agreement. It made me sick to think I overpaid so much for stupidity when I could've gone to another honest rental and paid way less. I'm done with Enterprise! PS American Express was not able to help me at all. I am stuck with all the charges.

I don't rent a vehicle that often, so did not realize an extra charge of $17.50 would be added as some sort of airport tax (I was told this was standard for all car rental companies); my 87 year old friend who was visiting me, took care of rental itself and did not realize we would be charged $34 for second driver. The bill for just 3-days rental was over $200 and my friend called me from California because he thought bill was too high. I agreed so did some investigating. I ended up speaking with Mr. N. ** who was very courteous and helpful and was professional. He realized, rightly so, if he did not give me some sort of refund we would be using another car rental outfit next time.
In general, in reading comments from other people re Enterprise on this site, I am horrified. Enterprise needs to step it up in so many areas. I know they probably don't pay their staff anything over minimum wage and it seems to me they are poorly trained. Enterprise's databases are a joke; their phone system is a joke. For heaven's sake, we are in the 21st century. You cannot do business like this and stay competitive. The clerk in a Tucson office could not connect me to office at the Tucson airport? Different phone number? Getting routed to someone in Tempe was only successful after 3 attempts.
If you indeed are a family-owned business, all the more reason company should be run right. Spend some big bucks right now and update all your databases and your phone services. I agree that I have called a local office, arranged for a vehicle and shown up at the office and vehicle not ready. 3 people standing around with their thumbs up their fannies. I am a ** older woman, well-spoken so I know that is PROBABLY why Mr. ** gave me some satisfaction. This company seems ripe for an in-depth look by 60 minutes. Racial accusations should be looked at immediately and dealt with and the customer satisfied. There again, it comes down to management, supervision, and communication.

"Acceptable debit OR credit card in the driver's name" should mean what it says; unfortunately, it doesn't. Your confirmation and policy statements should be make that much clearer, especially when reservations are made well in advance and billing information and license conveyed. On top of this, your agents (who were barely old enough to drive and not old enough to rent themselves) were rude and condescending. We were depending on you; but for the generosity of my church in lending me a car to travel 300 miles and keep as long as necessary, I would be stranded and jeopardizing my job. When I have a choice, I won't choose Enterprise again.

Worst service ever! Not the first time I hear it - reserved a car in Paris CDG airport - reserved Mercedes car with automatic - in the end in the airport, customer service lady said that "No, we don't have that car. That's all. Can you drive with manual?" OK, in the end, we got automatic car, but still - no apology for not giving (even a discount!) the car we ordered! Fine. Other thing - we bought a FULL INSURANCE & service lady said that we don't have to worry about anything because we bought really expensive insurance (abnormally expensive) & everything is insured (even all damages, scratches) and (after a week when we got back the car) - the all "fun" started...
Enterprise manager (Paris CDG) said that we still must have to pay abnormally huge amount of money because of the little scratch (even all around the car there are already scratches!!) although we got full insurance. In the end, there is really no point of insurance. And Paris CDG manager said that she even can't show us insurance's license because there isn't nothing like that. Basically, all our insurance's money is somewhere in someone's pocket. Nice. And we have paid for that car 5x more than it was expected. Is this really how Enterprise works?!

Normally I don't write reviews but I felt this needed one. The lady that checked us in seemed confused but she was friendly and found our reservation. That wasn't bad at all. Everyone has off days. However, the gentleman that helped us get our actual car really made me angry. I made the reservation. I selected the car and yet he would only speak to my husband. Even when I interjected stating I was the one who picked the Mustang. He still wanted my husband to sign for it and continued to speak to him. Completely ignored me on the walk around the car. And wouldn't even look at me when I tried to point out a chip in the paint. The man who gave us our paperwork when we drove off was very nice and friendly and helpful about showing us how to close the convertible top.
So once that was over and we were on the road we noticed there were fast food bags under the seats and other wrappers in the door compartments. And the worst happened at dusk. The windshield was so filmy we couldn't see when the sun hit it. It was full of streaks and whatever this film was. We had to pull into a station and buy towels and Windex to clean it. The car kept dinging at us about needing an oil change.
When we went to turn it in at the end of our trip we told the guy about the window issue (it was off track) and he said that was fine and very common in the the convertible. We also told him about the windshield and the garbage that was in the car and he had no response. We told him about it needing an oil change and he just kind of grunted at us. I would have asked to speak to a manager at the time but we had to hurry and catch our plane. I am normally very satisfied with Enterprise (I've even purchased a car from them in the past) but this time I didn't feel I was treated well and being put on ignore status really irked me.

Enterprise Rent-A-Car is one of the worst rental car that I've ever dealt with. On April 18, 2014 I got into my Toyota Corolla Le only to discover that someone had hit and severely damaged my car bumper. I called Geico my insurance company. Since car rental is included in my insurance Geico made a reservation with Enterprise in Pennsauken, NJ for a car. About an hour later, Enterprise picked me up. When I got to their rental office they did not have a car only SUVs. The rental agent told that I should take the SUV and later that day he would have a car for me. Since there was an Enterprise Rent-A-Car where I work in Bala Cynwyd, Pa I asked if I could exchange it there. He said yes or I could come back to Pennsauken.
At the end of the day I went to Enterprise in Bala Cynwyd. The rep there told me they did not have any cars. So I proceeded to Pennsauken. When I got there I had problem locating them because they had the local street as their address instead Route 130 which is the main highway. Anyway when I got there the door was locked but a rep was inside finishing up on another customer. It was now 6:05 PM. I knocked the door and the rep came up. I said, "Do you have a car for me?" and he said, "No, we had several cars here but you are late." I said, "But I've called about three times this afternoon, and told you I was coming. You did not tell me that you close at 6:00 pm." And he raised his voice at me and said, "You have nothing to say anyway because you are late!"
The next day, Tuesday, April 19, 2016, another Enterprise rep called me and said he would have a car for me after work. Just to provide some security, I walked over to the Enterprise in Bala Cynwyd to see if they could reserve a car for me. I was given a business card and told to be there by 3:30 pm. When I got there they did not have any cars. So I proceeded to Pennsauken. When got there I met the same rep who was rude to me the previous day. He said there were no cars. I told him to cancel my contract so I could go to another car company. When he did, I asked them to drop me off where I was picked up the previous day. He said that they did not go that far. I said, "Well, you picked me up there yesterday." Eventually, he asked another rep to drop me off. The whole thing is like a scam.

About 3 weeks ago, I booked a rental at the last minute with Enterprise for the weekend as they had the best price. I usually rent with Discount as they will have a weekend internet rate of $9.99 per day - essentially the weekend for $35 including tax. Unfortunately the rate was not available the weekend I needed to rent. Enterprise did pick me up, so all started well. We arrived at the location and was promptly served. The gentleman was very nice. Unfortunately for him, he noticed that there was a "do not rent" notification on my reservation.
When he looked into it further, he found that it stemmed from a rental with Enterprise that my company had booked for me while in Los Angeles working in November 2013. I had scraped a yellow parking poll on the passenger side of the vehicle. I believe the poll was plastic but nevertheless it had left yellow marks on the white van. There were no dents. When I returned the van to the LAX location we rented it from, I showed their customer service rep the damaged. He surveyed it quickly and said it wasn't that bad and that they could probably buff it out. He did however note it on the agreement.
When I returned home, I called my credit card company (I had used my personal credit card as the hold card) and informed them there could be a claim. My credit card company does have additional insurance when their card is used on a rental. They opened a file. I remember telling them I wasn't sure if Enterprise would make a claim since the clerk had said that they could "probably buff it out."
After about a month, I contacted my credit card company to see if they had heard from Enterprise. They had not. Some time after that, my credit card company called me to find out what was going on since they had not heard from Enterprise. I asked them to give it another month. After not hearing from Enterprise at all, I called my credit card company back to cancel the claim.
To make a long story short, Enterprise did start a claim for the damages, which apparently amounted to $717. It took me numerous calls to finally get some information since the claim was in the US, and I live in Canada. Turns out it was actually sent to a collections agency in the US. I talked to a rep from that company who actually was pretty chill. He gave me the number for the Enterprise agent who handles the claims. She, on the other hand was not pleasant.
Turns out that they had the wrong information and were sending all the notifications to the LA hotel I stayed at! They were also making phone calls to the hotel. No wonder I didn't hear anything. She actually said it was my fault that they had the wrong information. She said it was up to me to verify my address and phone number. I said that I had to give them (the service rep at the location) my driver's license so they could take down the information, as they do at any rental car company. Then she went on, in what I found to be an accusatory tone, saying that I admit to scraping the side of the car. I told her why would I lie about that and reiterated that I even told the rep at the location.
So, there I was stranded at the Enterprise location unable to rent a car. I didn't mention that I was with my daughter who was waiting to be taken to a hockey tournament (very Canadian, eh?). In the end, they drove me home and I milked the dude who drove me to stop at McDonald's so I could buy a coffee! Anyway, needless to say my experience with the woman I spoke to at Enterprise to try and resolve the matter was not pleasant. I was thinking about trying to take care of the problem but after talking to her, I think I won't be renting from Enterprise again and will make sure that my company does not book any rentals from them, especially if it is for when I travel (which I do often).

About an hour later, I received a voicemail message from someone at the location indicating that they were overbooked and wouldn't have a car available by 12:30, but that I was "first on the waiting list" and they would call me when a car was available.
I called the office when I got that message at about 11:00 and spoke with someone, asking about the likelihood that a car would become available before 5:00 so that I could make other arrangements if need be. I was clear that I needed to be driving away by 5:00. The representative told me that there would probably be a car by 2:00 or 3:00 and once again assured me that I was first on the list. At 3:15, I called again. A third representative rather rudely told me that all he could tell me was that someone would be in touch with me before 5:00, when I once again reiterated my deadline for leaving town.

The rental agency I picked up from was Newberg, Oregon. The car was covered heavily with beads of water after a rainy evening, and I did a walk around before accepting the car while it was still difficult to see any damages. The morning light reflecting off the water all over the car is something to beware of, and we drove over 25 miles before realizing there was a crack in the upper windshield passenger side. Not knowing whether this was an event that occurred while we were in the vehicle, or if this was hidden while conducting the walk around, we measured the crack, and continued on our trip. I did not call to report it at that moment, so buyer beware from our circumstance: the car should be fully wiped down for initial walk around, and sit inside the vehicle to inspect all aspects of potential damage which may not be visible from the exterior.
Unfortunately, the crack lengthened as we drove and as we returned it had tripled in length beyond the 'under the size of a dollar bill' needed to be covered by Enterprise basic insurance. Our fault for not going back and returning the car, and very costly, at $225 for replacement. I paid the bill immediately, since it was difficult to determine fault and I'd already signed for responsibility. Two weeks later I received yet another bill for $50 to cover administrative fees and a $22.50 'diminishment of value' fee, which was waived.
I feel very upset over this, as an insult to injury. First of all, it was difficult to determine fault, but in good faith I paid for the windshield. Secondly, I paid immediately. Thirdly, it's already hard enough to accept that I should pay damages for a flying rock while on the highway hitting my windshield, and not have coverage under basic insurance. Fourthly, having the letter come saying I owe yet another $50 for admin fees just burns, and yes, over all this I am unwilling to ever rent from Enterprise again, as well as sharing my experience with my friends and family. Things like this just make it appear as though the company is desperate, and unwilling to meet halfway in questionable circumstances. I was warned that I should have purchased the additional $20/day insurance, so I could be covered from such a loss, so that was an additional sting.
Furthermore, documents show that I paid for the windshield on April 1, 2016, when I made payment the day after rental, since we returned it very late at night the prior day, on March 18, 2016. I don't appreciate this discrepancy, since it shows delay in compliance to the agreement. I'll much rather spend money elsewhere for my travels.

My insurance company negotiated a rental car at Chapel Hills with "Caleb" from Enterprise Rental Car. It was most disconcerting at first because there was no sub compact but rather a Ford Transit Van (gas hog). With no other choice but to accept I drove it to Trinidad arranged as a "one way" to drop off there. However there was no Enterprise location in Trinidad.
After being told by customer service that it was unfortunate I could not leave the car there because I would be charged for abandonment, I drove back 89 miles back to Pueblo to exchange my Enterprise for a Hertz rental. This used up four hours of my time and by then the auto body shop was closed and I had to find a gentleman with a broom in his hand and pay him to allow me to pick up my car that was not completely repaired, but what choice do I have?
I spoke to "Caleb" several times about fixing the problem and he was defensive and irritated that I pointed out his obvious error. I did manage to get a Hertz car to Trinidad several hours later that Caleb arranged, but the glaring error and incompetence on part due to perceived lack of training and experience by Enterprise employees to be the prime factor in any future opportunity to rent from Enterprise, I caution anyone to avoid them at all costs. One keystroke can ruin your experience. Stand there and repeat your needs and desires slowly and loudly to your Rental Car Agent, they may have another agenda.

When I said I wanted to see it first he handed me the key and said, "you can get it from the parking lot" and said, "it is a long walk."
When he saw the look on my face he offered to get it for me although he said, "I'm not supposed to do this." When he pulled it up (it was a huge SUV and I had reserved a small one) there were no lights overhead to inspect the car. It was pitch black out. He again said, "there is nothing wrong with it". When I said that I saw a few scratches he said, "oh, we don't worry about scratches at all, only dents larger than a golf ball." There was no way for me to look over the car in the dark, and I was made to feel as though I was taking up this guys time.
I returned the car 5 days later. I was never involved in any type of accident and I never backed into anything. When I dropped the car off during business hours I asked if he (the same guy) wanted to see the car. He said no. An hour later I got a call from him stating that I damaged the rear bumper as there were crackles in the paint. I drove all the way back to the airport to see.

When I stated that there were no lights to see the car when I picked it up, she said, "I know that is a problem here and we've talked to the airport about it." The damage they are accusing me of looks like a bad paint job. It is not a dent.
How can I be sure that the car did not already have this damage before I drove away? Or that the clerk didn't back into something when he drove it up to the curb for me after I'd already signed the papers? Or that the car was not damaged in the lot after I dropped it off? When I asked the clerk if he personally inspected the vehicle before I rented it he said, "no, I didn't". How could he be so sure it had no damage then? When was the inspection done? Are there time stamped photos proving that the crackles in the paint did not exist before I drove away?
The damage I did see and point out before I left he did not record on the contract!!! When I later asked the manager what I should do she said, "since you used your Visa I bet they have coverage for it." She did not mention that there is a way to dispute the claim. She did not explain what the process was.

I was less than a half hour away in beautiful Brevard NC. I believe they wouldn't pick me up because the location is staffed with 1 person total. If she is out of the office the calls are forwarded to her cell phone. I don't know where they clean or service the cars, keep reading and you will see I don't think they do either.
The only reason I choose them was because I was in from out of state and my car broke down. I remembered their slogan "We will pick you up". Well they are the only rental car in the area and know it, so they won't pick you up, not at all. I was up there on vacation, so I said, "Come anytime that works for you". There was no time that worked for them, so I paid $110 for a taxi there and back. There was no selection, just 1 car available. I didn't care much about that except that it was more expensive than my quote over the phone. It was neither clean nor dirty, didn't care about that.
I knew all about their history of damage scams, so we went over the car and documented every flaw on there. I get in there, no owner's manual and I haven't driven a car newer than 98 model year, but we figured it out. Check and change oil lights on, so when I got gas I checked it. Totally black oil barely registering on the dip stick but nothing in the contract about me maintaining their cars so no worries about that. Plus no owner's manual so I had no clue what these Chinese engines take nowadays. It had no coolant in the overflow tank, and the radiator was low so I did add water and the washer tank was empty so I filled it. The car said Flex fuel on the trunk but I was told do not put any flex fuel in it. Again, no owners manual so no way to be sure.
I return it, they can't find any undocumented damage but sure look for it, but pull the low on gas charge you $10 per gallon for 5 gallons scam. I can see a gas station from their lot but can't drive it there because I already signed it over. It would have been cheaper for me to buy a local beater and leave it on the side of the road compared to what I ended up paying for the rental car. This was in January 2016 at the Pisgah Forest, NC location.

When finally I went to return it, they showed me a crack on the bumper, very low in the passenger side where I would have never noticed in the first place when I rented the car. I am sure I have not caused this damage on the car. I have taken some pictures next to the car from early days showing the crack was there and I just had not noticed.
They asked me to provide them with the claim number for the insurance. I believe they knew about this crack when they gave me this car. It might have been caused by previous customers or themselves. I should not have trusted them. I heard similar experiences have happened to others. Anyone that is going to rent a car by Enterprise must be very careful. Take pictures of all sides of the car before you leave the rental office. Because they tend to use your insurance to fix their cars.

She took me outside, said the oil would need to be changed soon, (it actually was overdue at the time I picked it up), but she didn't think it would be a problem.
Well, the repair shop took longer than expected and it was a week after I maxed out my insurance rental coverage, when I received a call from Enterprise telling me I owed them another $300.00! I was advised, (by the same person that rented the car to me) that since I was in a nicer car, that it was more expensive and since it was taking the repair shop so long to fix my car - I would be responsible for $50.00 per day from the previous week until the car was done!! It hadn't been quite a month at that point. I was furious. Why wait a week to advise me that I owed $50.00 a day? Why did she tell me my insurance would cover the costs of my rental? Why didn't she offer me a car comparable to my own (I drive a Nissan Sentra)?
Well, after a long and unsuccessful call with Enterprise, she showed up at the car repair shop where I was (I thought my car was to be ready that day). She walked right passed me, got some keys to another car and left, ignoring me standing there and not bothering to at least try to talk to me about what was going on. After she left, she went and charged my credit card, (that was on the rental agreement for my deposit) and charged $100.00 to my bank account, without ever mentioning it to me!! It put my bank account in the negative and cost me $36.00 on top of it. I am still in the rental, as my car is not ready yet, but the repair shop offered to cover the costs of the rental due to the way things went down with my car and the rental person they have in their shop. I was not offered any other car, I was not told that if I had the option for a smaller car, that I would have NEVER met my maximum insurance rental coverage...
The Enterprise person, Ms. Emily **, figured since it was estimated to be a 14 day fix, that she could just PUT me in a more expensive car, suck up all the money she could from my insurance company and that would be it. However, the repair shop found damage after they removed some parts, which delayed the finish another 14 days, which placed me in a position that she wasn't counting on... she kept blaming the repair shop for taking so long, but wanted me to pay the extra money, or them to pay it. When it was HER that failed to do her part by first, offering a car comparable to my own, explaining the "max out" that may occur, etc.
I have to shut down my credit card to avoid Enterprise charging any more money from my account because they don't even advise you when they are going to charge it. I believe she charged it because she was mad at me for telling her she failed to do her job correctly, which she did and the repair shop agreed with me on this. Even an Enterprise employee was shocked that someone charged my card without advising me of it and while I was STILL IN THEIR CAR!! I will tell anyone that listens and has ears what Enterprise does to their customers. I will advise my insurance company as well. These people cost me the $100.00, a bank fee and 1/2 day of work!!! I am sickened by this and saddened that they can get away with it.

This is long, but so is my experience with this rental adventure so far... I currently have a car in the shop due to an accident. I travel quite often for work, and I have in the past had mostly positive experiences with Enterprise rentals and customer service, but this location and entire experience did NOT meet my expectations or even come close and here is why:
I rented a car on Tuesday from the location closest to the body shop where my car is in Lacey, WA. It had some concerning safety issues with the seat not moving, etc so they told me to swing by and they would swap it out, which happened - in and out in 5 minutes, no problem. Unfortunately, the next day as I tried to leave work in Auburn, WA this new car would not start. Wonderful. I was directed to call the roadside assistance who gave me 3 options: Wait for a tow truck (90 min-3 hrs), wait for an on-site swap (2 hrs-3 hrs), or go to the local Enterprise location and they should be able to take care of me. He even said that the taxi charge could be reimbursed if necessary. I decided to get a ride from a coworker to the local Enterprise that he recommended me to - the Kent location which was less than a mile away.
Here is the part that has solidified my decision to NEVER go out of my way to rent from an Enterprise again, on business or out of necessity. I will save the extra money and go to a competitor where this level of customer service is expected. Upon walking into the branch office, my first observation was the smell and the general hygiene of the environment. It was filthy, with dirt and leaves all over the floor, grease marks across the walls, the chairs were unclean and not one employee even looked up to give me a typical "Just a moment" or "Be with you shortly" as I stood patiently in line with 4-5 other people for the next 15 minutes. As one of the employees walked in the front door, the one sitting at a computer looked up and said to her, "You should go hurry to get this customer now, she is one of 'those'" and rolled her eyes.
When it was my turn at the counter, I explained my situation to her (same employee at the computer) and the most response I could get was "That's not how we operate. You need to call the number on the back of the paper." I explained to her again that that is exactly what I did and they directed me to this location where the dispatch should have scheduled a solution. I let her know that time is short as I have a son I needed to pick up by a certain time before his daycare closed in 3 hours and I live 50 miles South. In the midst of my telling her the situation her desk phone was ringing and she kept looking at it and grunting in frustration and mumbling "Ugh" like the whole world was inconveniencing her. Her (personal?) cell phone then rings, she cuts me off and answers it because it's her assistant manager, Tyler, calling.
She handed me her cell phone so that I could talk to him - and with the same unhelpful and condescending tone as her he kept telling me that I could be a liar and have stolen the car or keys and paperwork and unless they have physical possession of the vehicle I needed to go sit back down and wait for the tow truck with the car, even if it takes 3 hours. That's just "too bad." I asked him if there were any other options. If they could send someone with me, or rideshare -- literally anything at this point as I was desperate and would have rented another car out of pocket if necessary. He then communicated to me that it's not his problem and that he needed to get off of the phone.
Once I hung up the phone with him I turned back to the girl at the counter, at this point starting to cry because I am not only frustrated with this experience but also starting to panic about making sure my son is safe until I could get to him in 3-5 hours. When I turned back to her and handed her phone back she shrugs and says, "Told you so."
At this point I called a ride to come pick me up and take me to the Auburn location instead. At the Auburn location, they HAPPILY gave me a car within 5 minutes of entering the branch, offering me their apologies, and making me feel not only welcome but reassured that there are good employees at Enterprise and maybe my day wasn't completely ruined.
All in all, this was an absolute nightmare. I don't know if this location needs some restructuring and training, or maybe it's the Roadside Assistance that needs to get their policies straight. Either way, I cannot comfortably recommend or be a customer to this sloppy franchise again until I feel that they can consistently live up to the expectations set forth by their marketing team. I am currently driving the 3rd car in 3 days and with a week to go, my fingers are crossed that this one will be the last.

Last 2 times they didn't have our vehicle ready and it is never full of gas when we receive the vehicles. Twice they were suppose to have it dropped off the office, but never showed up.

Ran into horrible customer service by store manager Mr. ** and employee named Mr. **. They turn highly satisfied loyal customer, been happily doing business renting car from Enterprise for many years, into someone who will despise them for very bad horrible service. I wrote to Enterprise's top three managers about my whole horrible experience, but instead they doing things right for the loyal customer like me, they instead wrote me a letter dated 04/12/2016 by ** Corporate Security and Investigations Manager saying I am no longer welcome to contact Enterprise Holdings, and all subsidiaries, as well as putting me on trespass notice.
For a company started with seven cars, now one of the largest rent a car business, they are now too big to care for its customers, and back up their employees no matter what they do wrong, and their hidden policy seems like never admit their mistakes no matter what it takes, lies, cheats, and deceptive practices are ok to protect their interest.
I am a disabled veteran. I will prove to this too big to care company like Enterprise, that we live in free country like United States of America, that individual customer like me still matters, and can do greater things than what this too big company thinks that individual customer don't matter, because they can't be touched, because they think they millions of customers, and just one doesn't matter. But company who started the company with only seven cars and hunch, the founder Jack Taylor in 1957 should look at my complaint. People if you care about what happened to me go to Hertz, they are great. Thank you people for your support.
UPDATED ON 10/06/2016: Incident happened on 3/31/2016 at Enterprise Rent-A-Car office 4517 W. Flamingo Rd, Las Vegas. Incident with store manager Mr. ** & Mr. **, when they refused me to exchange my rental vehicle to higher upgrade allowed by at fault Progressive insurance company. I was up to this point a royal customer for couple years, very happy customer with them. Even though I ran into some cranky unprofessional Enterprise employees couple of times, but never filed complaints because we all are humans. I am very understandable so this incident is my very first complaint against Enterprise. To make very long story short, because the store manager Mr. ** refused to exchange my rental vehicle without giving me a valid reason, and when I asked for his name, he refused to give me his name. Any rate he escalated the situation to whole another level for not providing me with a professional service.
Long story short, I wrote to the CEO of Enterprise, got some attention from top managers from Las Vegas, we had meetings. But all their conclusion was to back up their employees, even though I pointed out to them the two employees were lying to them. Three top manager stuck to we need to "Back up our Employees". Fast forward to today. As of 10-06-2016, I started ONE-MAN Protesting all over Las Vegas Area. Until I receive a apology letters from Mr. ** and Mr. **, all I wanted is apology letters from these gentlemen for the 3-31-2016 incident. I hope Enterprise Company will do the right thing. As of this date of 10-06-2016, I am still waiting for the apology letters.

Enterprise denied my claim after my fence was destroyed by a person who they claimed stole a dam 2016 mustang convertible (really) telling me that the driver was uninsured. You should be ashamed of yourself. My mother fence is all over the yard and her car was total. We received highest help from nationwide in which they paid for the total. Thank GOD because if it was up to you I guess I would be out of a car too.
My point is how the hell can someone steal a 2016 car and you have no coverage for just this reason? My issue may not even make you feel bad but what if that person had hit my grandkids? They were just in the yard playing. The Monica person was so cold to me when I called. She didn't have the balls to call me and tell me they denied the claim then lied and told me she will send out the letter that day but the letter was sent 3 days before. Really. I guess if what you train your staff to do is to hurt family and make them pay and you all get rich. Well remember every DOG got their day...

Someone ran into me and tore up my new car. Their insurance company uses Enterprise rentals. A representative from Enterprise called me TWO weeks in advance to assure me I had a reservation for a "premium" car as that is what I own. When I showed up at Enterprise two weeks later, they put me into the junkiest car I have ever been in. Not only was it a piece of junk, it was filthy. When I inquired with the agent about my "premium" rental, I was told they don't have premium rentals.
Well, when I returned their junky car, there were two BMWs in the parking lot along with a Cadillac SUV. Right on the counter are the two pics I uploaded to accompany my review. They look like "premium " cars to me. Aside from the junky car, they had mixed up my account information and the car I had was registered to my OLD account and they were trying to charge me for the extra time I had the rental due to the body shop taking extra time to repair my car. I will NEVER use them again and have told my family and friends to stay away too. They DO NOT TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS!

My Car is currently on a recall and I have to have a rental until July. I received my rental car from Enterprise a week ago. At first I got a Kia which felt too small and they let me trade it in for a Passat. Awesome. Last night, the key would not go into the ignition. I tried for about 20 minutes until I finally had to call the 1800 number because it was after hours. Enterprise sent AAA and they got the key in the ignition and I was able to drive home.
I did not want to risk having the key not work again, so I asked if I could have another car sent to me tonight since I had work in the am. The first person I spoke with at 7:50 pm said the nearest car would come from JFK airport. First she thought I was only 27 miles away and got my location really wrong and then I was told it would be here in about 3 - 5 hours. I was told AAA would bring me the car on a flatbed and exchange the car I had. Ok I got that. She sounded really confused on the phone however so I called back. Person #2 then told me the new car would be at my house in 7 minutes. 7 minutes? I asked if I could speak with another supervisor since that made no sense. Person # 3 said the car was en route and should be at my house shortly. I was satisfied with that.
9:30 pm AAA comes to my house with no car on the flatbed. The driver had no idea he was supposed to have one. He also didn't know exactly where he was supposed to take the car I had. He was kind enough to wait for 20 minutes as I spoke with person #4. Person #4 however kept me on hold for 20 minutes and the driver had to leave. When the woman came back on the phone she said that the previous people kept opening new inquiries instead of building on one and she had to clean up my file. While I am on the phone with her, person #5 calls me. Is anyone keeping track with each other?! I'm starting to get confused!
Long story short, I spoke with 8 different people in total. By midnight, I was told there was no car coming because they were all closed as of 5 minutes ago and ran out of cars even though I've been calling for the last 4 hours! Around 1 am I get a phone call from a tow truck driver and he is outside my house to get the car and has a business type van for me to drive! then the driver says to me "I don't know why they didn't give you a similar car, they had a whole lot full." What?! I was told they ran out of cars at one point! First thing this morning I spoke with the last supervisor again and he didn't even know I got a car last night. He said my local Enterprise would be contacting me soon to give me a car. That was at 7:30... I just got the new car, 4 hours later. This experience was so stressful for no reason. The company needs to work on their communication.

Barbara from D'iberville MS - I had the worst experience renting a car, from Enterprise in D'iberville. First of all when I got the vehicle it was not clean. But lady that check me out was very nice and professional. She did agree to waive gas because of unclean car. Later after driving car. I noticed car needed oil change that was not performed, also the car had a miss. As if it needed a tune up, so the whole four days I rented I had to pray the car don't cut off. It was the most uncomfortable ride out of all the cars I rented from d'iberville MS. Enterprise.
At the time of check out, Trey and Brian the supervisor or manager had overcharged me for another day for the same day I was suppose to bring the car back when on my reservation had clearly written on it - return car anytime between the time of opening or before closing... which the time was printed 7:30 - 6:00 pm. I mentioned to trey that the car had a miss in it the whole four days I rode, Trey then replies. He know the vehicle was time for oil change. I was really disappointed because after all I am a loyal paying customer. And with all that was happening you didn't try even offer me anything back and overcharged me... asked me did I want the car back because he already.
Charged me another day... After he knows what's all wrong with the car... That was very unprofessional. It seems like he didn't give a care about customer satisfaction. Just whatever quota or goal he could make. I never had problem with Enterprise rentals at all. I Always thought you guys were the best rental place that I would want to bring my business to. But I felt like I just got robbed ripped off from enterprise D'iberville, MS. And Enterprise refuse to do anything besides Over charge me money for a vehicle - they knew that didn't get the proper maintenance - very poor customer service. I thought the employees were there to keep guest happy and satisfied not run them off. No I will not be back.

I have rented cars several times using Enterprise Rent-A-Car. I usually have no problems and always leave thinking highly of them as a reputable business who has respect and appreciation for their loyal customers. After my last experience, however, I don't even know where to start with the disappointment and problematic treatment I was faced with at the hands of your company. I had rented a car for about a month and a half. I gave authorization for my card to be ran just in case I was too busy to call in, as I am a single mother who not only works full time, but also attends school full time. This is another reason why I had always relied on Enterprise for excellent service. I am a very busy woman who has to get from Point A to Point B with no time for any mishaps or problems, let alone blatant disrespect.
I received a few messages saying I needed to update some paperwork and informing me that they put me in a car that had recall on it and needed to be returned. I work from 8 am to 6 pm, making the return of the car very difficult for me. I was planning on just paying to keep it for an extended amount of time, as I have done with several cars in the past, with Enterprise having no issue with this whatsoever. May I add that as a mother who always is in charge of her young daughter's transportation, it was quite alarming to know that we had been driving in a recalled car. During a routine check of my bank account, I noticed that I had a $100 hold placed on my card on April 4th. So I attempted to get the day off of work to return the car and deal with the rental car switch, as my previous rental car had been recalled.
On April 5th, I received several phone calls from family members in different states saying they were receiving calls saying I had stolen a car and would be arrested. I don't understand how a business could charge my card 1 day, then turn around and make slanderous claims of theft the next day. I was planning on visiting the family they had called soon and now this situation has made it hard for me to plan my family trip. This experience with your company has now not only affected my job, my ability to get my daughter to her schooling and extra-curricular activities, but it has now affected my relationship with my family. If all of this wasn't already a highly-credible cause for concern, I drove over to the branch to ask why they had charged my card, yet claimed to my family that I had stolen the vehicle. They said they have nothing to do with that and they just want payment.
Payment was rendered, yet my reputation was slandered and I was incredibly inconvenienced. I spoke with Julian **, who was not helpful at all. I asked him how his company was willing to remedy the situation and also for causing such a confusing hassle and defaming my character to my entire family. Julian had no regard for my situation. He said it was not his problem and that all he wanted was payment. I did not receive any empathy or help whatsoever. I asked him before he charged my card that I wanted to know, on a branch-level, what he was able to do for me. I had already spoken to Mr. John ** VP of Fleet Management and he assured me I would receive some sort of compensation for this terrible experience. Unfortunately at the time of my arrival, Mr. ** was unable to come to speak with management at this branch, causing Julian **'s attitude to worsen.
I told him "Before you charge my card, I want to leave out of here with a smile and to be satisfied with the service I received instead of feeling like a criminal. Mr. **'s response was "I actually do not care how you feel whatsoever. All I care about is the payment." I was in shock. How could the manager of a business be so rude, not only in front of the staff he is in charge of, but in front of another customer as well? He did not care the problems his business had caused me whatsoever. I told him that wasn't very good customer service and he replied that he has heard that from several people and does not care. I felt he was racist against me as a Hispanic and also because I am a woman. I told him I wanted to speak to his boss and he refused to give me a name or a number. All of this is occurring while I am running late for the work shift I had to alter to return the vehicle.
So after several minutes of telling him I wanted his boss's number, he finally gave me the name of Phil ** and the according phone number to contact him at. I left him a message and have not received any word. I also spoke with Marsha from the regional office in Northbrook and have heard nothing. I told Julian I was disgusted with his customer service and would be speaking to his boss. He laughed in my face several times. I was about to make my payment (with no compensation for my time or regard for the problems they have caused me). I asked what car I was going to be switched in. The weather was incredibly rainy and I needed to come into work ASAP. Mr. ** then tells me he cannot offer me another rental because an unauthorized driver had been driving the car. I was in shock. I had been the only one driving that car. It is impossible anyone else other than myself had driven that car.
He then begins to say the car also smelled like smoke. Another impossibility, as me and my daughter have asthma and cannot be anywhere near smoke. I should not even have to mention that it is also illegal to smoke in a car with a child in the city of Chicago, as of 2015. Why he had not told me this before I told him I was going to report him to his boss, I do not know. I became infuriated. Not only had they given me no choice except to take a day off of work and defamed my character to my entire family, he was now telling me I could not be switched into another vehicle, leaving me in the thundering rain to walk to work. Mr. ** also made a derogatory remark insinuating that my card probably wouldn't even go through. Why is that, Julian, because I am a single woman of Latin descent? After telling him I wanted to speak to his boss several times, he then says his boss is the one who told him I could not be put in another rental.
I asked why he hadn't let me speak to him and he said he was too busy to talk to me, a valued customer. I was left to walk in the rain after paying thousands of dollars to this company for their services over the entire period of time I've done business with them. They do not care about the problems they cause their customers, even when the problems come from Enterprise directly. This isn't the first manager of a Enterprise that has given me problems and a horrible customer service experience. Manager ** from the Enterprise branch on 4314 N. Western had also given me a hard time and made me late to pick up my daughter from school. I filed a complaint against him and haven't received any info regarding the situation. Is this how all the managers are of the Enterprise branches on the North Side of Chicago?
Do you give your managers the authority to run credit cards, then put your customers names on a stolen car list? Are your managers trained on proper customer service before given the title of Manager? If not, I highly suggest that you start, because as a valued customer of many years, I am incredibly upset and offended by the improper treatment, racism, sexism, false accusations, slander and no reimbursement or reparations to amend the strife this unfortunate situation has caused me and my family.

The initial investigation found me at fault but no one spoke to me to find out my side of the story. I appealed and sent pictures and Enterprise called me and after looking over my statement they decided there was enough proof to close the case. I guess hearing so many negative stories made me think I was going to pay for the damage I didn't do. If you have proof they are quick to close your case.

This is a warning to the public who rent a car from a Enterprise franchise. Before you sign for the vehicle take your time and inspect the vehicle and take pictures for your own protection. They have a habit of accusing customers of damages they did not do. It seems this is only happening at the franchisees. The investigation takes 2 weeks and is only one sided. The end result is you will pay.

First of all, I have been a customer of Enterprise since 2008 and a Plus Member. However, this experience is beyond unprofessional, both deceptive and disrespectful! I had a reservation for a full-size car to rent a car from Enterprise on 2/12/16. Once I arrived, the customer service I received seemed to be great. However, the Manager Dustin insisted that I take a Dodge Journey that he had recently got in. I told him how I really did not want the vehicle but he said "when you return it you can bring it back half full."
After a few days the car turned off. I immediately called Dustin and he said that I made the second person who called that said the car turned off. He stated that he had called the manufacturer and they said that it is common for the newer vehicles to do that. Also, I told him how the gears shifted hard but he continued to make excuses. Not one time did he say or offer to have Roadside Assistance to come and change out the vehicle. Yet, he said that I could drive the vehicle who had these issues back to his location which was keen 40 minutes away from where I was or take it in to the Franklin Location which was about 30 minutes away from the location at that time. Unfortunately, my daughter was in and out of the hospital; therefore, my focus became mainly my daughter. I had paid the week before although, Dustin never offered to resolve the issue by calling Roadside to change out the car.
He charged me $194 and called back the following week and spoke to one of my family members and said that I owed a lot of money to them. Well, things spinned out of control more. My daughter went back in the hospital which Dustin was informed of the issue. Enterprise called a lot but never offered to refund my money or change the car but asked for more money for a vehicle that did not properly work but cut off. On last Friday, 3-11-16, Enterprise came and picked up the car without informing me. They never knocked on the door to talk to me but seen me go to the mailbox to pick up something from the hospital. They never asked for keys but called someone to pick up the vehicle and left.
Prior to this incident, I told Dustin, that I was going to call this corporate to see what can be done but he said, no don't do that! Now, I see why because how they picked up the car. When they picked up the car, my daughter's prescriptions were in the car that needed filling. I have file so many complaints regarding the way this was handled and requested that the Regional Vice President to called and I never received a call from the Vice President. Gary from their Risk Management called but talked about me coming to them to pick up my and my daughter things.
Tammy ** the Executive Assistant called today on 3/18/26. She was very unprofessional! I asked did they received my complaint and she said, "you will get tired of complaining, running out of people to complain to and no matter what I will get the complaint. You have 30 days to get your things." I requested that she never call me again, that I requested the Vice President to call me and she said "every complaint will still come to me."

I was involved in an accident on 3/21/16 that wasn't my fault. I went to Enterprise to get a rental car so I could have a car to go to the doctor/work/activities until I got my car situation figured out. I walked into Enterprise and spoke with the employee and told her to give me the smallest car she had that I just wanted whatever insurance would cover. She said "no problem. I have a small vehicle we can get you in today." Boy was I relieved. We went outside...quickly did a circle around the car and checked for damage. She then had me initial where she had already "x"ed on the form. I initialed and I asked if I needed the "Damage Waiver" as I'm already covered by my insurance for full coverage/rental. She stated "I have never seen an insurance not cover it."
She then stated "once they authorize the rental for you call and let us know and we will get them to take over the bill. Your card will not be charged." So I completely trust this employee and drive off and go home. The end of the week arrives and I get a call asking if insurance is going to take over and I inform them that the insurance was still investigating the claim and once I got word I would contact them immediately. Unfortunately for me, the driver that hit me and was at fault was unable to give a phone statement so his insurance company was waiting on a written statement. Finally two weeks later, liability is assumed by his company and I have them contact Enterprise to get my rental car taken care of.
I contact Enterprise the following day to make sure everything is good to go and I'm told there is $387.00 that I need to pay. Shocked, I ask for what. The guy explains that the damage waiver is my responsibility if insurance doesn't cover it. I go back to the day I got the car when I said "I only want what insurance will cover." So I contact Metlife in an attempt to get them to cover this fee and they inform me this is "extra insurance" and isn't necessary if I am already insured. At this point I'm almost in tears because not only am I in a horrible predicament of having my car totalled and now having to look for a new one and take one that expense but now I clearly was taken advantage of and misled to sign something that wasn't explained to me clearly. So I go into the location (Slaughter - 78748 in Austin, TX) and I speak with the manager.
He begins to list excuses as to why she might have told me it was covered by insurance. I explain that I don't have the money to pay out of pocket for something I clearly didn't understand I would be paying for. He then offers to take 25% off. He asks me if this is sufficient. I explained (in tears at this point) that no, nothing out of pocket is okay for me because I'm already having to find a new car. And now I have this extra expense for something I was basically lied to about. He then lowers it to $183.90. Again he asks me if this is okay. No, nothing is okay because I was taken advantage of and told that something would be covered that isn't and that I didn't even need. So here I am, $183.90 in the hole because an Enterprise employee misled me to believe this charge would be covered by insurance.
The manager said he would re-train her however that does nothing for me at this point. My stress level is beyond high and I'm now out almost $200.00. What a sad and eye opening experience. All I needed was for the manager to remove the charge that I clearly was misled to believe would be covered and I could have gone about my day. Instead I am stuck figuring out how I am going to pay for this along with all the added stress. Such a horrible and disappointing experience. I attempted to get on the website to go above the manager at this branch but haven't had luck finding the contact information. I work for a city and we would never be allowed to conduct ourselves in the manner this employee did. Clearly customer service is not a priority to the worker or the manager...and for this I will never work with Enterprise again. I will also share my experience to warn others so they don't end up in the same predicament as me.

When returning our car to Savannah, GA we had the worst service. We were told our car was damaged. When we rented the car it already had damage. A week later they are claiming for damage, want us to go to our insurance company. I would never use them again. I work for a large corporation for the president. I will make sure we will never use Enterprise again.

I explained to Ms. ** at the 6011 FM 1488 location Magnolia Tx the smell may have come from my clothes and the ashes could have come from me having the door open on the vehicle when retrieving my things from in and out of the vehicle and she still continued to make accusations that I was smoking in the vehicle. I explained to Ms. ** again I did not smoke in the vehicle. I am done renting vehicles from Enterprise because of HER making accusations. I understand Enterprise has a non smoking policy with their vehicles and I respect their policy and did not smoke in their vehicle and just because of the color of my skin and my appearance does not give a person the right to judge and make their own accusations.

I rented a mini van for spring break to take my grandson to Legoland. The rental process was quick and friendly. I returned the mini van, signed for the charges, got the final paper, etc. Then while hospitalized learned the company had charged my bank account multiple times. When I called the San Antonio office by 410 and Culebra (from the hospital) they were rude. I asked for a supervisor and he was not better.

On March 28, 2016 I rented a Dodge Ram from the Enterprise Rent-A-Car located at 6175 Highland Rd. Waterford, Mi. 48327. When I called in advance to reserve the truck I received a quote for $337 for a weekly rental to drive down to Florida so I could move my disabled Mother down there with all of her belongings to live with my brother, which I informed the gentleman of when I made the reservation and received the quote of $337.00. As you would imagine, I would need help to make such a long trip with driving and moving heavy furniture and boxes so my husband and other brothers would have to make the trip with me. We all knew ahead of time that this was definitely going to be a very uncomfortable ride for everyone with 6 people packed like sardines in a can all the way down there but it was a situation that needed to be done so we were all ok with that.
I asked the gentleman on the phone if I would be able to trade in the Dodge Ram pickup truck to a transport van once I arrived in Florida for the duration of our trip and to make for a bit more comfortable ride for everyone when we were to drive back home and I was told at the time of making the reservation that they would certainly be able to accommodate me. Everything sounded great when I made the reservation on the phone a few days prior to me picking up the Dodge Ram pickup truck.
When I went into the office on the day I reserved to pick up the vehicle I was pleasantly greeted by an employee named **. ** pulled up my reservation and upon review and many questions later the rate suddenly I was informed that the rate went up and raised from $337 to $505. When I asked why the rate has raised $168 I was told that because my brother couldn't use his debit card to hold the funds. The only way I could use my credit card is if I was added on as an extra driver which would cost an extra $10.00 per day. Then because I was taking the vehicle to Florida I would be charged another $10.00 per day (remember I had already discussed with the man on the phone when I made the reservation that my destination was going to be in Florida).
At that point I was stuck in the situation and had no choice but to just accept whatever they were going to charge me because my brothers had already drove 4 hours from their home to my house to make this trip with me so I couldn't really back out now. With no other choice I reluctantly just accepted whatever they said and rented the truck. We finally get on the road to make the trip and arrive in Florida without any snags. We get everything unloaded so I could trade in the truck for a transport van at the nearest location in Florida.
I called the employee, ** at the Waterford. Mi. location so he could assist me in trading in the truck for a transport van in Florida. Very rudely and disrespectfully ** had said that I could go ahead and call an Enterprise Rent-A-Car location myself down in Florida to trade in the truck for a van but in doing so I would be charged a very hefty fee because he had made the reservation for round trip, not one way. He explained that I would have to turn the vehicle in and rent a different vehicle for a one way trip instead of just simply trading it in for a van. He said the reason for the hefty fee is because trucks are not as desirable in Florida as they are in Michigan.
** had made it very clear to me at that point that I was a burden to him and that he did not want to waste any more time discussing this situation with me and that he was not willing to help me in any way. I couldn't even believe my ears. I have never encountered someone so rude and disrespectful in my entire life. When I tried to call the Enterprise Rent-A-Car in Florida for 2 days straight I was told that they had no vehicles available so I was left with no option except to just drive the pick up back home and drop it off at the same location that I originally rented it from. Beware of Enterprise Rent-A-Car!!!

We were visiting Dallas in April 2016 and needed to rent a car whilst we were there. As it was a busy weekend, most rental companies were sold out. After finding that Enterprise had a car available for our stay I booked it online. When we arrived at the Dallas Downtown location to pick it up I was asked to present my driver's license and credit card, which I was not surprised by as I had rented with other companies multiple times in the past so knew the drill. I was then asked what insurance I wanted to purchase. I told the lady I already had travel insurance which covered car rentals to which she asked for their number so she could confirm. I told her it would be 1 am in Sydney so she wouldn't be able to call.
Another lady stepped over at this time who appeared to be the manager to find out what was going on. I explained again to both of them that I already had travel insurance so didn't need to purchase extra, to which again they both said they needed to confirm. The whole concept of travel insurance seemed to be a mystery to them. The manager then informed me however that they wouldn't be able to call anyway as their phones could not dial internationally, so if they needed to make a claim they couldn't get in contact.
To purchase the insurance I apparently required through Enterprise was going to add another $200 USD to our reservation. I asked what the insurance was covering as, again, I already had coverage through my travel insurance. After a lot of fumbling I was told that the insurance was to cover their car if I damaged it. Once my group and I heard that we were out the door, as it was starting to seem more and more like a scam. Why are we paying for the insurance of their vehicles? I have rented with multiple other companies including Budget, Alamo and Hertz and have never experienced any issue relating to insurance. Once I have informed them I am covered they are happy. It's obvious that Enterprise are not equipped to accommodate international drivers who have their own insurance.

Once I received the new confirmation email, I was shocked that my rate had changed to 162.76 GRB. Just for picking it up 2 hours earlier. Wow! I called back right away to get this corrected, but was told by three different reps that they were unable to get my rate back.

My family and I started renting from this company on a steady basis in June 2015. Constant rental paying bi-weekly, often paying between $1000. - $1500. a month. Never had any issues with this store until about 1.5 months ago when the store manager switch jobs and 2 new people got brought in. In that time frame, our amounts would constantly change, even when it came to us calling in prior to going to pay. The amount would change upon arrival, so within a 15 minute time frame from time of call and driving to their location. Our renewal contract date changed and had to be renewed twice within that 6 weeks. Every time we paid we were informed account was paid up to the next two week date, nothing owing in clear. When we started to questioned amounts of payments and the constant changes about a month ago is when things started to get nasty.
We started to pay our account weekly instead of bi weekly so that we could monitor this. We paid last week, double checked when next payment would be due and the amount, got told the next Friday (so this Fri Apr 1, 2016) the amount of 186.00 due for one week if we stayed in same vehicle. We then get a call yesterday to say that somehow our account is behind by over 600$, when asked how we got told we needed to come in to the store ASAP to see the paperwork. My husband and I both work during the day and asked if it could wait till Fri when we were off and normally come in, just to be informed no. I spoke to the regional manager who was equally as rude and inconsiderate, was told that we owed this money but could not explain how, that he didn't care if we lost our jobs to come in there, amounts he claimed owing was first $200, then $600 and then $800.
Went in to the store, looked at their paperwork, dates of a couple payments were wrong on their systems or not showing at all, so provided them with bank statements to show them when account was paid, they could not explain this. They could not explain why they tried to access our credit card for additional amounts even though we paid weekly now and paid total amount they requested. Informed us we had till Friday to pay $650, (which again a different amount) or it was going to collections, had us return the vehicle and still could not answer how we all of a sudden owed them this large amount. Very disorganized, disrespectful employees and I would say shysters. Not happy at all, have placed call to their head office, waiting on return call. Will keep going up the ladder until someone can explain these amounts and answer our questions. Would not recommend the Enterprise car rental store in Orillia, ON Canada.

I'm going to start this off positive because usually my experiences are always POSITIVE with them. I always rent a car for about a week for my vacations so I'm not putting extra mileage on my own vehicles. The cars are usually clean and don't have any issues. But the last time I rented a car... Nothing but a bad experience. When I picked up the vehicle I was told that it had onstar, which was great because I was traveling from NY to FL then back and I felt a lot safer knowing that. All was great all the way down the east coast. The car was a 2016 Chevy Cruze and rode very nicely and was the perfect size (LOVED THIS CAR).
After my little vacation of which I was moving stuff back to NY and I mean a whole car full of stuff, I left and started heading back up the east coast. I hit SC and after a little bit looked down to realize my tire pressure was low. I figured I did a lot of driving and probably just needed air so I decided to pull off at the next rest stop. After about a minute I looked down again and the tire pressure was at 5. So I pulled over and while freaking out remembers what the guy had told me. I pushed the button and was disconnected. Freaking out I pushed the button again. Then again. Nothing. It said "sorry onstar is not available in this vehicle".
My glove box was blocked with my things I packed so tightly in the car and I had no idea what I was supposed to do traveling down i95 by myself at 10:30. I did not want to get out of the car because I'm actually afraid of the dark. I'm 23 years old and I DO NOT go outside at night or even sleep in the dark due to this. I know it sounds pathetic but I always have been and always will be just like some people are afraid of snakes or spiders all their lives. I'm afraid of not being able to see what's around me and think the worst about what could happen.
So anyways... I finally decide to google and find enterprise roadside assistance. The lady who I was speaking to asked me if I was safe and I said "yes but I am by myself and it's dark and I'm scared". Then she asked where I was. I told this lady I was between this city and this city on i95 northbound and mile marker whatever was right in front of my car. She said "that's not good enough". UHM WHAT DO YOU MEAN NOT GOOD ENOUGH. I BASICALLY GAVE YOU COORDINATES.
So after about 20 mins she finally decides to tell me someone will be coming to either tow me or put a spare tire on. She asks me if there's a spare in the trunk and I of course did not know (figure this should be policy) and asks me to unload my trunk on the side of the road and check. So pissed off and scared I did... Threw everything from moving on the side of i95 (totes and clothes and little things) and found out there was a spare. I then left everything outside and got back in my car because I again am scared of the dark. So now I'm hysterical.
She then tells me the guy is on his way and should be there soon to put a donut on. I literally just started my trip back north and I realized you can't drive on a donut that far. I asked her "maam is this safe to drive on all the way to ny" and she then told me I would be fine. I knew this wasn't right and I started freaking out. I waited for the guy to arrive and change my tire and he told me that that was not enterprise policy and I should be put in a hotel room for the night till a location is open to exchange the vehicle or they are supposed to deliver me one.
Angry as ever I called back and thankfully got a different lady who was educated and so nice and helpful. We tried every airport around me to see if they were open but none were and it was decided to stay in a hotel and be reimbursed when I return the vehicle. So I found a hotel, waited for the donut to be put on, the guy put my tire in the car for me and I'm looking at it and it seems to look like it was a plugged tire. Not a new tire. It literally had a plug in it. Is that even safe? Or legal? So I get to the hotel and situated and I sat down and then realized I was never told where to take this vehicle. So I called back again. I was told Florence airport.
Of course from being upset I could barely sleep but I knew I had a long day ahead of me and eventually cried myself to sleep. I woke up at 9am the next morning to check out by 11am and headed to Florence airport where I was told everything would be set up for me when I get there. I walked in and told the guy my name and he looked at me like I had six heads and then I told him what happened and he said "I don't know why roadside tells everyone to come here because we don't have a car for you." My jaw dropped and with a basically evil look on my face I said "are you ** serious. I need to get back to NY". He then asked me to sit down so he could see what he could do for me.
About 20 mins later he came up to me and said "I have a car for you. It's a little bigger but at least it's something". I at that point did not care. I just wanted to be home safe. He gave me the keys, walked outside, did the normal enterprise check of the car and then walked back inside. I had a car full of things to load and unload by myself. It took about an hour to transfer everything and then I was on my way back home. The guy called me the day before I was supposed to bring the car back and asked for this story. I had things to do that day and had to move everything up two flights of stairs the next day due to no one being home when I was there, after moving it out of a car. I returned the vehicle the next day. They of course closed at 1 and I couldn't be there till 2 so I was a day late. And they're not open Sunday's so I was supposed to pay that day too? No. ALL BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED - NOT BECAUSE OF ME.
I have called customer service, I've called the location manager, I've called these people more than they have me. Calling everyone my reimbursement for a 620$ vehicle. $120. You have got to be kidding me. I have never been so dissatisfied with a company. I will NOT recommended them to anyone and next time if my car doesn't have working onstar they can find me one that does because I will not be in this situation ever again thinking I could die on the side of i95. There's no reason it shouldn't have and there's no reason I should have been treated this way. I am not just a customer I am a member and have always had a positive experience. Moral of the story: Enterprise roadside assistance sucks and the company is full of liars. Just want it to be known your policy is full of it and this is not a award winning customer service review like you claim.

Dogs are not allowed in rentals." I was shocked. I had never heard of that policy of "no dogs in the rental" and told that to the manager. I asked if it was in writing, like the "No Smoking". "No, it wasn't." The manager kept telling me, "It's universal!" And I asked "Where is it written that I have to clean the car?" He repeated 4x, "It's universal. It's universal" What does that mean? Universal?
If this is Enterprise's policy, then write it down for the customers. Are the customers supposed to read the policies in between the lines or is the company supposed to write it on the paperwork? The manager was about young with no tact, no business etiquette, and certainly did not know how to deal with an upset situation. He kept repeating himself over and over which only aggravated the situation because a customer needs an answer. In the end, he told me he wasn't going to apologize. I wasn't getting anywhere, so I asked for the supervisor's name and phone number and left to vacuum my car at home. Otherwise as the manager stated, "If you don't clean it, I will charge you $150." 4x. I will never rent a car from Enterprise again. There's good competition out there.

I rented a car from Enterprise in Glasgow, UK on 05 March 2016. I accepted LDW but declined Excess insurance. I did a walk-round inspection and saw no damage. When I returned the car on 07 Mar 2016, the agent stated there was damage to the tire. The damage was not visible to the naked eye, but upon enlarging a photo I took of the area, a small tear about inch in length was noticeable. The tear did not extend into the tire wall and looked like a flaw. Furthermore, the tear was vertical and could not have been caused by scraping against a curb or rock, and there were no visible scrape marks on the tire. What struck me was that the agent went straight for that tire as if she knew exactly what to look for, and did not even glance at the rest of the car, or any other tires. I suspect this is a scam run by that particular outlet, and a fellow traveler who was also returning his car stated "they will get you every time, unless you buy full insurance".
The Enterprise agent then said they would charge me GBP1,000 for the damaged tire, which is a preposterous charge for a Mazda 3 tire that costs $100 at the most. I also stated that, if they were going to charge me, I wanted the damaged tire, but the Enterprise agent said they were not able to give me the damaged tire for safety reasons, and there was no mechanic present. I am disputing the charge because I think this is a scam because I did not buy the Excess LDW insurance, the charge is preposterously high even if I had caused the damage, and they refused to give me the product for which I paid - the damaged tire. Enterprise has since charged my credit card with $1,240.00, and I am disputing the charge with my credit card company. I am with the U.S. military based overseas, and I will not accept getting ripped off by an American company. I will fight this outrageous behavior in the various forums.

We were leaving to go out of town early the next morning. This completely cancelled a trip and our lodging reservation was lost. There was one rentable vehicle in the lot at that time and I told him we would take that one. He said it was already rented... What? I had rented a vehicle and he didn't hold one for me. I regret that I did not get his name as Enterprise should be aware of their agents' actions and customer satisfaction. However, after reading all these reviews, they have to already know the situation. This is unacceptable and the agent and Enterprise should be ashamed of how they treat customers. Take my word for it... Never rent from Enterprise, especially the one in Tullahoma Tennessee.

She's is a stellar example of someone who knows how to handle a tough situation. I should know. I run a customer service department at my company. We are responsible for millions in revenue each month. Diane has that indefinable quality that simply can't be taught. Thank you, Diane!

I've rented from and made friends with Enterprise representatives for 15 years. I really liked the sales reps. But in the last year the Enterprise policy has changed from friendliness to a cold business attitude. I noticed it and figured it was just isolated but after a year I see enterprise has changed its attitude toward its customers. Today was the final straw that broke my back. I will not rent from enterprise again. It was how do you say? So chicken ** on their part. They found a dent. It was so small and shallow you could not see it looking directly at it. It was a small nothing but they started a claim against my insurance policy. They will collect my deductible plus insurance money for something that will never get done. Just cash for the company and promotion points for the finder.
Now here is the thing, not only is it insignificant I never parked the car except at a gas pump, I spent all driving time on I-95 or it was parked in my drive way. I know I did not do it nor did any one else have the chance to do it. Makes me wonder how many times this claim has been made. It is like the secret hard to see bump that they can scam the renters.

So my boyfriend and I went on a romantic getaway out of town for a weekend for the weekend of Valentine's day from February 12-15, 2016. We got the car no problem. Returned the car no problem. Then on February 16th they said there had been damage done to the vehicle. The problem is that there was none that I could see when I left it on the 15th. So I go to take a look at the car and the rocker panel was dented slightly. I said take the remaining of my damage deposit and then send me a quote in the mail. I said "well how much will it cost, how long will it take", and they said they wouldn't know until they took it through Manitoba Public Insurance and the mechanic. I had just moved and so I left them my new address on the form that they would keep for their records. It's now March 21st, 2016 and I have yet to get a remaining balance on my damages that I may still owe or a cheque if they owe me money.
I phoned repeatedly every week and they said two weeks after on the 4th of March that the car was fixed and that they had to process it through the main office in Winnipeg. Then the main office in Winnipeg says it needs to be processed in Toronto? What in the bloody hell is going on? Do they owe me money? Do I owe them? I don't know because no one will tell me anything! And this last time I phoned they did not even pick up the phone. It went straight to fax. This company shouldn't even be an establishment. They are so shady. And watch, they probably will try and get collections after me for not paying when they haven't even sent me a frickin quote! DO NOT EVER GO HERE!

Wouldn't recommend Enterprise to anyone. I was supposed to pick my rental 1/2 hour before they closed. I get there and they tell me they don't have a credit card on file to pay for it. I know that's not true because I work for a Fortune 500 company and had the confirmation email. The manager said I am sure they told you they paid but we don't have that information. I then ask "What do you need from me to make this happen?" He replies "Your credit card, pay stub & a recent utility bill." Really? I don't carry those with me sorry. Left without my rental and will make sure they are taken off our approved list.

I made a reservation at the Ottawa, KS location last night to pick up a vehicle at 10 a. m this morning. I received a phone call at 8 a.m. this morning from a representative saying that they had no vehicles available and to try another location. I called an Enterprise in Olathe, KS and the representative informed me that she had no vehicles at that location and to try the other Olathe, KS location. I called this location and the guy informed me that they had plenty of vehicles and the reservation was changed to this location and he gave me directions to this location.
I arrived at this location and the guy said he had no vehicles. I informed him that I had a reservation and spoke with someone a few hours earlier that stated they had plenty of vehicles. The guy said that it wasn't him that I spoke with; however he was the only one there at that location. Needless to say I didn't get any vehicle and had to go to a competitor. I will NEVER rent from Enterprise again and I will inform everyone I know about the experience I had.

I have been an Enterprise loyalty member for approximately 6 years. Recently, (October 2015-January 2016) I encountered a situation that entailed me to rent a vehicle for 3 consecutive months. The total cost was $3,300.00 give or take a few dollars and I mean that literally (a few dollars). This money was not paid out on a company cc or someone else's personal cc. It was paid strictly from my personal checking account from monies deposited from the job I work 5 days/40 hours a week. Let me tell how many points my $3,300.00 equates to...1,222. Let me tell you what 1,222 points can get if you decide to cash them in on a rental. Three free days in a economy/compact rental. Good for me I guess you're saying... wrong.
Here is the kicker. In the 3 months I rented the vehicle I never had a compact/economy vehicle. I paid the higher price for an intermediate or full-size vehicle. With that said, if I wanted to cash my points in on a intermediate/full-size vehicle, it gets me one free day. Therefore I spend $3,300.00 and at the end of the day I get one lousy free rental day which is equivalent to about $50. You do the math. To add greater insult to injury, I should have been a platinum member at the end of my rental due to the number of days I rented and given 20% in bonus points. Instead I was told the calendar year runs from January to December so as of January my rental days started over although it states in the membership packet that the calendar year runs from February to January 31st. Their loyalty program is a joke. I will never use them again and would encourage others not to as well.

Save your time, money and insurance referral. From the Assistant Manager to Manager it seems that they don't care about the customer. I don't condone customer abuse on employee and definitely won't accept employee disrespect towards customer. If Enterprise does not care then neither should we as consumers and well I'll do my part by renting elsewhere. It seems that complaints fall upon deaf ears and they will continue the same. Only posting to save someone else the headache and time lost by going to this location at 1300 W Main St, Alhambra, CA 91801. I'm awaiting area managers. Let's hope they make sense and handle the situation much better and professionally.
