Enterprise Rent-A-Car Reviews

One month Later Enterprise Calls me and said there was Damage to the front end of the Car and it was going to cost $1,800.00 to repair. I argued and had my insurance call the Auto Mechanic Shop but Enterprise kept insisting. My Insurance paid because I didn't have a Enterprise Rep receive the car. I didn't have pictures either. Next time take it to Enterprise Office to receive or better yet DON'T USE ENTERPRISE RENTAL CAR!

Original Review: I've had a terrible experience with Enterprise beginning from the day I picked up my rental. First, the vehicle I was initially supposed to be renting was having "electrical issues" according to the sales associate, I was then offered a 12 passenger van which I declined due to the size and where I was traveling to, I asked instead if I could have a SUV that was on the lot, I was told no. I then had to wait for an hour for a nearby location to bring another vehicle like the one I reserved, once this vehicle pulled up you could see the damaged wheel well as well as the undercarriage hanging from the front bumper in addition to pet hair fleas and tons and tons of ants all over the vehicle. The sales associate ensured me that this vehicle was safe for my family and I of 7. With no other rental options available I had to take what I was given as I was due to leave for my family trip 9 1/2 hours away in just a few hours.

I proceeded home which was just down the street. Later on when I was ready for my trip I noticed that at a highway speed the vehicle had a bad shake as well as a a bad pull to the right and the undercarriage could be heard flapping. I called roadside who I also had many hiccups with, your representative sent me 1 hour north to The Melbourne airport where there was not another vehicle to accommodate my family and then sent me 2 1/2 hours back south to West Palm Beach airport when your associate Audrey at that location said you had multiple fleets available to accommodate a party of 7. Upon arriving at this location I was turned away, in fact the associates at Almo were so rude, "Shaq" in particular, the local police had to get involved. I then again had to call roadside for the multiple time and was told to drive to the Vero Beach location the next morning which was now 30 minutes north of my home.

Upon arrival at this location I was told I could not be accommodated yet again and needed to go back south 30 minutes to the location I originally rented from, on my drive back I spoke with the manager on duty who ensured he'd had a vehicle ready and waiting. Upon arrival the vehicle was not ready and I needed to wait 45 additional minutes. My trip at this point had been delayed over 8 hours. Once finally getting on the road I made a call to Escalations and filed a formal complaint which was August 19th 2020, it is now the 27th and I have yet to hear back from anyone regarding my complaint.

Fast forward to Sunday the 23rd of August, my family and I were involved in a very serious motor vehicle accident just off of the major highway, the accident was not our fault, we were hit by a driver who was looking for his phone on the floor board who ran a red light and then smashed into the back of the vehicle leaving some of us hurt and sore. Another call was then made to Roadside to report the accident whom was no help at all, my family was not in a safe location and was brought to one by the police of Adel GA and not roadside. We were then stranded at this location for about 7 hours, a car service eventually came to pick us up but was delayed another hour because they had not yet been paid by enterprise to drop my family off at the airport that was 2 1/2 hours away where I was told another vehicle would be waiting to continue the journey home finally.

Upon arrival at Jacksonville airport I was told I needed to pay the $500 deductible for the accident as well as another $200 deposit for the rental. Totally unacceptable!!!!. My family and I had to then "walk" to another location where we could rent a vehicle from another company to get home, so now I've wasted and extra $311.00 on another rental vehicle. The next morning I arrived to the local branch where I rented the vehicle from to then speak to another store manager and tell him this crazy rental story. I've done all the right things such as reporting to my insurance and also supplying your company with a police report of the accident proving that this accident I was involved in I was not at fault for. Enterprise has refused to refund any of my money or my security deposit.

I have also been told that your company whom you all work for could not locate the vehicle that was towed, please tell me why I called Roadside, Urgently and was able to locate the vehicle myself and give the local store all of the necessary info but yet an employee of the company cant do this themselves. I today 8 days from the day of rental and 4 days from the date of accident have yet to even receive an "I'm sorry for all of your troubles" phone call and if my family and I are ok. I'm beyond upset and would like someone to get in-touch with me immediately!!!

After getting a phone call from a rude person named "Shauna" from the Titusville location regarding a failure to return. I drove to the Cocoa location to speak with this Robert. Who was too busy on the phone to come out and talk to me and had Charlie do the back & forth. After about 15mn of waiting Charlie gives me an ULTIMATUM: You have to drop the car off now or face a failure to return (even though my due date was the next day 7/30). To which I replied: " And walk home under the rain?" To which he replied: "Yeah, or call an Uber". Seeing as I had come just to talk with Robert who didn't even bother, I didn't even have my wallet on me. I decided to take the car home as I was obviously not going to walk home under the rain.

The next morning between 8 and 9:30 I got 3 phone calls from them. I have since then returned the car and filed multiple complaints with customer service, escalation, their care.ehi email, their website, all telling me someone from the regional team will reach out to me ASAP. It's been 1 month. And no one is calling me. That's acceptance of guilt. We are August 11th. Enterprise still hasn't made a single effort to contact me. They should be ashamed. We are now August 26th and Enterprise has asked to "please stop contacting them regarding this" and that our business relationship was terminated and put me on their Do not rent list. Once again, they are treating me like a thief, they have sent 2 collection notices, to which I replied that I would pay for it when someone from corporate contacts me to talk and resolve this situation. What are they scared of?

I was able to find a vehicle and submitted the receipts as instructed. After one month, I have received no reimbursement. All of my emails to the customer service and branches have been ignored, and many of my calls to customer service resulted in being hung-up on. Another attempt today resulted in an hour long conversation where I was told that my original contract was modified the day after the car broke down and so Enterprise has no obligation for me to reimburse for any of the days following that and that they would not agree to pay for a vehicle. I explained over and over that all I did was follow the instructions of the customer service agent and now I am being told that what I was promised will not be upheld.

I was also told by the customer service agent that Enterprise rents cars but is not responsible if that car does not work and makes no promises to the customer that the car will work. I was shocked. I have never in my life received such poor customer service, been lied to by a Company and been given the runaround so many times. I don't know if this is a one-off experience or if the Company makes a habit of lying to customers and changing the contract after the fact, but I can say that I will not feel comfortable using this company and can definitely not suggest that anyone else use them.

Original Review: I mistakenly CHECKED THE BOX FOR INSURANCE. $19.99 A DAY that I did not want due to my insurance company covers rental cars. I told the agent this prior to walking around the car inspecting for any damage. He acknowledged that I said I have insurance and I showed him my insurance card. They refused to take the charge off my debit card so I had my bank stop payment. The Enterprise Zone Manager said he would remove the charge! AND he didn't so they reported it to all 3 credit reporting agencies.

Now I am blocked from renting a car from all national car rental agencies. All for not taking my time and reading the fine print. I rented the car to drive to Naples Florida for PROSTATE CANCER SURGERY! I did not take my car because it doesn't have Air Conditioning. $80.00 charge! Key West Florida Enterprise has a bad reputation. I called the ZONE MANAGER AT LEAST 5 TIMES! Every time he said he would take the $80.00 collection of my credit reports. HORRIBLE COMPANY! When I need to rent a car with air conditioning I have a small local car rental company that rent me a car for $20.00 a day and NO BOX TO CHECK FOR INSURANCE.

The staff was very unprofessional and borderline rude (Kaleb). He called us several times during the rental explaining that we would need to pay for the rental because the insurance company had only committed to a certain number of days. I wasn't sure why he didn't reach out to the insurance company or the repair shop since we had to provide all of that information when securing the rental. We return the rental on Friday (August 14th). I specifically asked Bryan if we had a balance and he said that the insurance company should take care of the expense at 100%. My husband received a call on Tuesday (August 18th) from Bryan stating that we had a balance over $180.00 dollars and would need to pay. Again no communication from the insurance company nor the repair shop stating that we had or would have a balance.

I called today and spoke with Nolan to see if the matter had been resolve. He said that my card had been charged for that amount. As of this evening, I have not received a statement from enterprise via email nor did they call me to discuss the final charge. I called both the insurance and the repair shop numerous of times (including yesterday) explaining that Enterprise was calling us and that I wasn't sure why they were not communicating with them directly. I know that there has been a significant turnover at this location (as I have seen over the years), however, I have never received this level of unprofessionalism from any staff and will not rent from this location again. The customer should never have to wear the burden of feeling harassed and unimportant.

My friend drove me the hour to the rental location. We arrived at about 11:40. When I walked in a male employee was on the phone with another customer. I heard him say that he had another car available and it was 15 dollars more per day, but he would give them a break and only charge them 10 dollars a day. After his phone conversation he talked to me. He asked for my name and went to the back of the office. He returned and told me that I had a 10:30 pick up appointment and he thought I was a no show so he rented the car out. He never bothered to call me to see if I was coming or not.

He went on to tell me that he had another car. I asked if it was the same price. He said no, it was 15 dollars more per day but he would give me a break and do 10 dollars a day. Does that sound familiar. I was very upset that he rented my car to someone else for being 1 hour and ten minutes late and he did not bother to call me. I talked to my friend and we decided to drive the extra 30 minutes to the nearby airport where I rented a car for a better price from a competitor.

I walked back in and they got us into a GMC. I requested that it would be returned at 10pm on Sunday evening at we had a 6 hour drive to do after we pack up her stuff. I return it at 5:00pm on the date in which I said I would turn it in and because they close at 2pm, you get charged an additional day. WHO KNEW???? So, not only do they not take debit cards, they will make an EXCEPTION and charge you a huge amount of money, they also charge you for additional days because they close at a strange hour.

I could of kept the car until today at 10:30am and still be charged the same amount of money that I was charged for today. I also said my 20 year old would be driving and they said that nobody under 25 can drive. I said well that's not true, I just received an email from Enterprise that said "Get them back to campus safely. We’ve reduced the minimum age for renting to 18 years old to help students return to school. Offer valid on Economy through Fullsize cars, Minivans, Small Pickup Trucks and Intermediate SUVs when reserved in advance through 9/30/2020." This was dated 8/11/2020. However, nobody at Spokane would accommodate this request either.

What I do know is that every person you speak to with Enterprise, blames the other person and there is not one consistent story, but they sure are good with taking your money and figuring out a way to keep the additional amount they kept! Our school has an account through Enterprise and I will be sure that they know that this is what is happening and they are in fact not assisting students in getting back to school and perhaps students will have to fight to get their last dollar back. I couldn't be more disappointed with my experience and the way I was continued to be treated today. I will go with Budget from this point forward and suggest that our contract change at work back to Budget!

I walk out to find that the lot is in a poorly lit garage, and that I am renting a dark grey car. A quick walk around would show no damage to the vehicle. The drive was uneventful, no collisions, no time to leave my car unattended, kept it in my garage once I arrived home the same day. Upon returning to RDU, the attendant points out a small ding in the top of the back seat door on the passenger side. Pictures later will show that the ding was barely thumb sized.

Since I know I incurred no accident, this damage had occurred prior to my time with the vehicle. They filed a damage report, and, since evidence gathering could only happen in a dark garage on a dark grey vehicle, I was stuck with the bill. It was such a superficial ding, I was not too worried about the cost....but I should have been. Their repair crew sent a bill for $1400! For a ding the size of a thumb. The breakdown was for ~$1000 for damages, and $400 in lost business for use of the car! ($100 per day X 4 days to repair the smallest ding) That is an increase of 40% of the damage to the vehicle on a car that was clearly not going to be in use!

Upon talking to my insurance company, I found that they didn't send them a $400 charge on their version of the bill, implying that the charge was a sucker charge. My wife and I filed a dispute with Enterprise which the agent in contact for the dispute said it would take 7-10 business days. Within 6 real days, we got our answer that they would not take any consideration and that we were responsible for all damages. No explanation into what they investigated. Just a bunch of smoke and mirrors to provide the appearance of research (any investigation would have shown a missing damage report prior to my own rental of the vehicle). If you rent with Enterprise Rent A Car, you are going to pay for more than your rental fees. You will pay for any vehicle damages in their existing fleet. Find a different rental agency.

The employee went inside the store and came back out a few minutes later to ask if we would be ok with a SUV which we were not. The entire purpose of us renting a truck was so that we could move some furniture, an SUV would not accomplish this unfortunately. The employee then walked back into the store and we waited for him to return. After about 30 minutes the employee returned to inform us that there were no trucks available for us to rent, he had contacted all the other locations and none were available.

We asked how someone was able to make a reservation when we had already made one for that day if they did not have enough trucks to fulfill the reservations that were made. We were informed that "if there were 10,000 trucks in the Houston area that Enterprise would take 100,000 reservations." This is just a single experience my wife and I had with Enterprise but I hope anyone who reads this will remember, just because you have a reservation it only means that you've actually accomplished nothing as it's a first come first serve system and you are guaranteed nothing.

I made reservations for a mid-sized SUV at the Edmond Oklahoma office. When I went to pick the SUV up the attendant told me to "Pick one." from the lot. I mentioned I had reserved a mid-sized SUV. Again, "Pick anyone you want." Not being too familiar with SUV's in general I walked around the lot looking for the largest cargo area, since I had to have room for my bicycle. I selected a one that, to the best of my judgement, seemed to have the largest available cargo space, compared to the others.

The attendant started the engine and A/C then proceeded to tell me of all my responsibilities as a renter. Strange that there wasn’t any mention of Enterprise’s responsibilities to the customer. So...I drive home and begin packing. After the A/C had been off for a period of time I noticed a cigarette odor. I began examining the vehicle and sure enough this vehicle had not been cleaned since it was returned to the Edmond Enterprise lot by the previous customer (Yes, I have photos of the inside of the vehicle). So much for the "propaganda" about keeping the customer safe from Covid.

I called the Enterprise office and explained what had happened and they apologized and ask me to bring the vehicle in but, with all the time I had lost already, I ask if they could bring me another SUV. I was informed that they would but they didn’t say when. I assumed my wait time would be brief. An hour later (they are less than 15 minutes away) I called to inquire about the rental. I was told by an attendant they would have one there by 6:00. At 6:30 I called again. Another attendant answered and said they made no such promise to deliver by 6:00.

I received the replacement vehicle around 7:00, (over 3 hours since I picked up the original SUV) it was a disappointment since it had no electric seats, less cargo space, incredible road noise, etc. I was later informed that they couldn't deliver until after they closed due to personnel shortage. Why didn't they just tell me that? I would have understood and taken the original SUV back myself for exchange.

Any guesses as to why I was told to "Pick one." when I was originally at Enterprise to pick up my mid-size SUV? It was because there were no mid-sized SUV's on the lot, and the attendant must have known that. Now for a side note: I’ve talked to others who went to pick up vehicles but the category vehicle they reserved was not available. Fortunately, Enterprise allows for upgrades at no additional cost (except for my case, there were no upgrades, only downgrades). I've experienced this myself and was grateful for an upgrade.

Well, it was a task getting everything in this Compact SUV but I did it. By the time I got to the state of Kentucky the low tire pressure came on. I called the Edmond office and they said to call a local office and maybe they would have an SUV they could switch with me. So, I kept stopping at gas stations to air up the tire until I could get to my destination in the next State. Of course the local Enterprise offices didn't have an extra SUV of any kind so I spent 2 hours taking it to an Enterprise facility and waited for the repair.

I was told by the Edmond office that I would receive a 40% discount off my bill. That equated to about $90 for being lied to, not getting what I'd ask for, taking care of tire maintenance, driving almost two thousand miles in a vehicle that had a suspension like an off road vehicle, and possibly being exposed to the Covid virus.

Previously, during the last vehicle reservation I made with the Edmond Enterprise Rental I had to wait 4 hours before the leak in a tire was repaired. Actually, the tire had to be replaced. I did get a hardy "Sorry" for having to wait so long. The time before this Enterprise did not have the category vehicle I reserved so I was given an upgrade. I didn't complain although it did get less miles per gallon than the vehicle I made reservations for.

They gave me a half a tank of gas and I returned it with a Full tank of gas to the Englewood location both in NJ. I did not receive any money back and was told I still owed $7.00. There is no way that I should’ve paid an additional $300 if my insurance was covering $30.00 per day even with taxes and fees and I would like to have my money back for what I paid out of pocket. I already contacted care@enterprise.com and the Hackensack NJ location, they were unhelpful. I don’t appreciate this type of customer service and I would like be reimbursed for my list of pocket expenses.

Original Review: When I got there to check in I noticed my name was about the third on the list I was picking up a Rent-A-Car because someone had rear ended me and then insurance company was paying for it. I never rented a car before so I was unaware that would be a $50 deposit so when I pulled out a debit card he told me that I couldn’t visit and then proceeded to hand him my Bank One student account card number. He picked it up, looked at it and tossed it back at the counter and walked away. After about waiting two hours outside I couldn’t believe the treatment I had. Thought I stood at the counter for 15 minutes and I proceeded to say, "Excuse me. Can I get some help." There was four people including the assistant manager standing there and no one I mean no one even turned around to look at me. I was unaware that him tossing my card on the counter was his way of telling me that they don’t accept it.

I loudly ask for the manager And the only person who would listen to me with someone who is detailing the cars and had to get the manager attention who is literally 2 feet away for me. This is when he proceeded to tell me that even though he did not check my car he knew for a fact it wasn’t a credit card. At that moment I was livid. I had literally been there two hours 20 minutes and watched everyone be polite and friendly to every customer who was in there. I’m not sure if it was because they were all ** and I was the only ** person there but I was the only one. No one asked how my day was and how I was doing.

After explaining all that to the manager I got loud and cussed at him and told him at least could I use his telephone to call right because my cell phone died and I had got dropped off. They wanted me to leave and said they were going to call the police so I told them to please call the police so I can ask them if they would give me a ride home. I sit out front for another 20 minutes in the sun waiting for a ride in the police to show up which the police never came but my ride did. I thought I was losing my mind and was second guessing myself. I literally called my bank and was asking the most stupid question, "Is this really a bank?" After letting me know I have money in my account and that it would’ve been fine for them to rent the car to me I ended up going to Hertz rental car who took the exact same card. No problems, no questions asked and upgraded my vehicle!

This was the worst experience of racial profiling I have ever experienced in my life. I’ve even been called the N-word numerous times in my lifetime but never did I have people two feet away from me ignore me like I was a ghost! I told the insurance companies what happened and I also told them that Hertz rental car took the same card with no problems because indeed it is a credit card! Not only is it a credit card it has my name On it, Funds in the account that would’ve been available to place on hold, And it’s also an interest bearing account which are very rare these days. This was the worst experience I’ve ever had in my life all because of the color of my skin and they made that very clear and very obvious!

I called in to let Enterprise know about the issue and asked if we could return the car the next day at the airport. I confirmed with customer service that this would be on their dime, because, in my opinion, that is the least they could do. After all, we spent money on ubers, parking, and it was just overall frustrating that their offices were closed in both cases. The rep was very nice and said, "Of course we will cover it. No problem at all. Everything will be fine."

Unfortunately, they charged me late fees, location change fees (which is just infuriatingly hilarious), and gas surcharges. I feel like I was still very calm and collected as I called in for the first 4 times to bring up the issue. I have to say, the customer service agents were all very pleasant as they assured me that everything would be solved. It wasn't until the 5th time, when I asked to speak to a manager and she essentially said, "you are screwed", that I realized they were not intending to make this right.

I have to say, I am not a review writer. I very rarely ever go to vent online. However, this is pure insanity. I work in marketing and having your inventory right is the bare minimum that is expected from you. To so blatantly push people to locations that have been closed for months and then charge location change fees is just criminal. I am pretty disappointed in a company that is big enough to where they should worry about integrity. However, I guess this is the new level of American business we can come to expect: low on quality, transparency, ethics, and all around social responsibility.

Original: The Enterprise Rent a Car branch in Calgary is a totally rip off. I rented a car for a month on agreed monthly rate. On return the sales person told me there are dents on roof top due to hail but in fact it was only rain. We ended up in argue and shouting as he was forcing me to accept to pay for the damage which was not true. Enterprise filed a claim against me for more than CAD 5000. This was illegal, false and cheating claim. This was the last time ever I used Enterprise for renting a car and I will never ever again use Enterprise for car rental. Also I will tell all my friends/colleagues/in companies that no one should go to Enterprise ever again.

I told her we had six people that were leaving for Branson Missouri the next day and my car was in the shop and I needed a large SUV or at a minimum a minivan. She again said when you make reservations there no guarantee that they will have that car. She was very snippy when she talked to me and so I asked for a manager, I think her name was Jasmine. It wasn’t much better.

And then physically went to the location because they did not answer any further Telephone calls that day. When I got up there I had the unfortunate experience of having to deal with Macy again. She was the only one up there that was not wearing a mask during this Covid pandemic, and that included all the customers that were there waiting on cars.

I was trying to explain my situation to her. She was like almost in my face, and I asked her if she could please wear a mask and she snippy said to me “are you here to discuss masks or renting a car”! I then asked to talk to the manager who then miraculously got me into a Range Rover. However when she walked in to get paper work, I discretely (or so I thought????) snapped a picture of Macy to send to their corporate office to show she was not wearing a mask and also to report her attitude.

Macy then looked up and saw me - went storming past me, glaring at me the entire time, and into the store. She then came back out and said they were not giving me a car. I asked to speak to a manager in person. Manager never came back out. I went down the street to the Toyota dealership, and they could not have been nicer to me and got me into a minivan with no problem at all. Everyone there was all masked up, and could not have been nicer.

I called customer service only to be put on hold, transferred to different numbers for over 90 minutes. When I did reach someone in the escalation department I explained what had happen only to be told my complaint would be directed to a corporate manager. Today is Saturday and my rental was from Sat. to Tues. when my car should be out of the shop. At best I will have to wait 3 days for a response and I am out $70 and still don't have transportation. I see from the reviews this is a common practice along with hidden fees. This type of service is totally unacceptable and very frustrating. When I rented cars through my company on my corporate account I never had an issue getting a car. Now that I am just a public consumer the level of service is less than poor.

Why is it that I am given a vehicle one day, I return it, and days later I'm not allowed to rent, even with the same person and EXACT card info that went thru the first time? It's like one day, they deem me worthy enough to give a car, the next day, it's a different story... AFTER taking and not returning $1100 from a family of 4 that was just in a car wreck...

Tyrone was talking leisurely with another employee when I drove up to return my car. He jumped up and held his hand up as if to say, "Hold that thought," to his co-worker. He was at my door before I was out of the car. He was polite and professional in every way. After he checked me out, he asked who was picking me up and directed me to a nearby location. I mentioned that my husband was a few minutes behind me, and Tyrone suggested that I do not wait in the heat. He told me where I could wait in the terminal.

But his concern did not stop there. I had forgotten to ask for a written receipt, though I know I would receive one via email. When I flagged him down a few minutes after we had finished, he had already checked another customer out. He said he would need to go into the Enterprise building and retrieve the receipt from the desk clerk. He offered to bring a cold bottle of water to me while I waited. When he returned, he gave me the number of my contract on a business card because I would have to personally request the receipt. He literally walked me to the door of the building to make sure I made it safely.

I was born at the beginning of the Baby Boomer generation, have taught high school 40+ years, and have dealt with a fair share of the younger generation. My experience tells me Tyrone has been raised to respect people and has been trained in the art of customer service. Thank you to Tyrone and to Enterprise for having the insight to hire him.

What they do is criminal and has single handedly drain our account. Yes, it was our choice to keep it but when the rate goes from $55 to $80 to $101 a day after we had the car for 4 months, that's wrong. Now we had to bring it back because we can't do $100 a day, we have no money left because of the last week getting charged 100 a day plus even with paying the extra for the damage waiver they still found a ** reason to keep our $200 deposit. DO NOT RENT FROM THIS PLACE UNLESS YOU ARE WELL OFF OR YOUR INSURANCE IS PAYING FOR IT. VERY UNHAPPY.

I requested a pickup time of 9am, but she suggested 9:30am to make sure that a car would be ready. So on Saturday morning we arrive at the Government Blvd location at 9:10am and stood in line 15 minutes in the hot sun because they are only doing curbside. I get to the agent who initially could not find my information. He then pulls me up and states that my reservation was at the other location. I leave and go to the location that he said, only to find out that they do not rent cars at that location, they sell them. Very confused and frustrated at this point I call the phone number to the location that I had from Friday. I called 3 times with no answer. I had been told on Friday that the locations close at noon on Saturdays so I was trying to contact them because I had a 10 o’clock appointment Saturday morning.

I finally called the 800 number at 9:45am and was on hold for 10 minutes. I spoke to an agent who told me that I was not in the system. I gave him all of my information multiple times and he could not find my reservation. I have to admit that by this time I was very frustrated because I saw my name on the tablet at the first location, now 30 minutes later I’m not there? Bull! I requested that he transfer me to someone else. I was on hold almost 10 minutes waiting to speak to a supervisor. This lady gets on the phone telling me that State Farm made my reservation for another location and she does not know who, how, or why the agent told me, if she told me, to go to the government Blvd location. Now you are trying to insult my intelligence.

I asked her why would I just show up somewhere if I was told to go somewhere else. The location that she was talking about was near my home. Why would I pass it to go further away? That doesn’t make sense. I asked her to pull up the name or employee number to the person that made my reservation on Friday and she stated that she did not have that information. A lie! How do you confirm reservation issues if you cannot back track your employees if necessary? Needless to say the supervisor told me that she could not guarantee that I could get a vehicle on Saturday because by now it was after 10:30am and my 9:30am reservation had been canceled and I would have to hope that the location had a vehicle available.

I also asked if the vehicle could be dropped off at my house since I was still trying to make my appointment to which she said no they do not do pickups and deliveries due to Covid. I informed her that they need to change their hold message, which states that Enterprise will deliver your vehicle to you. Now you are falsely advertising your services. So then she had to get it. Once again I was frustrated and by now pissed off because I had missed my 10 o’clock appointment because I was still on the phone with Enterprise Rent-a-Car.

The supervisor then transfers me to the Service Road location Mobile, Al, where I was informed that because I missed my 9:30am reservation that they did not have any vehicles available and that the only thing she could do is call me if she got a car in by 12 before they closed. I was on the phone with Enterprise for 58 minutes with no solution to the problem that they created. I missed my non-refundable appointment and still did not have a car.

Now, there were so many opportunities for Enterprise to make this experience better, but they chose not to. I was not late for my 9:30am pickup because I was where they told me to go. Long story short; I called State Farm and informed them of my issues and they sent my claim over to Hertz on the Beltline in Mobile, Al. My information was processing while I was driving to their location and they had me in a car in 10 minutes. I would not recommend Enterprise Rent-a-Car to anyone. They were very unprofessional and their customer service skills suck. I have asked my State Farm Agency to put a note in my file to NEVER SUGGEST ENTERPRISE TO ME AGAIN!

According to Lisa, the Office Manager “Hassan”, my apologies in advance if I misspelled the name – was not in the office when I called. I am appalled by this information – whoever I talked to that day lied and pretended to be the Manager to cover up the incident (at least this is my opinion). I cannot remember the person’s name because of my state of mind at the time of the conversation. However, I do remember asking the “Manager” his age because I found his analogy to be ignorant and insensitive. I forwarded the person’s age to the Care team and hope that they look into this questionable action. It should not be hard to figure out who this person is.

As a Business owner, I take pride of treating my clients with the outmost respect and professionalism. In addition- the kind of behavior that the Enterprise employee exhibited will not and never be tolerated by me. I have been a loyal customer of Enterprise. In fact, I like the company so much that I purchased a company vehicle from Enterprise and recommended the company to my colleagues, friends and family. What the employee does not realize when he threatened to charge my credit card double and revoke my membership is – there are other companies that provide the same service. Because of this incident – I will take my business somewhere else and persuade my colleagues, friend and family to do the same.

Original Review: I returned a rental on, 07/10/2020 at around 3:00 p.m. and interacted with an employee named John. At least that's what he said his name was on the video I recorded during our exchange. First and foremost, I forgot my mask in my wife's car, therefore I was not wearing one. When John came out, he started walking towards me. I panicked a little and told him in a concerned tone to stay away because I was not wearing a mask. He seemed offended by this and called me the term "Brotha". I found that to be a very inappropriate, offensive and unprofessional way to address a customer. Because of this, our interaction heated up. John said that although I returned the vehicle with the gas tank being almost full, that the tank was still 3 to 4 gallons short.

I stated in an annoyed voice that the gas gauge was at that exact same point when I picked up the rental. If you refer to the rental agreement, it says that the tank was 7/8 full when I picked it up. I said to John that he should not charge me for it and requested that he let me take the vehicle again to go and put 3 gallons of gas in it, as opposed to him charging me 10 dollars for it. At this point, we started arguing and I started recording the interaction because he threatened to charge my credit card double and revoke my membership. You will hear on the video that he claimed I threatened him because I kept asking him why he called me "Brotha". I told him that he should not charge my credit card, and he said that my contract expired and he would do what he wants and slammed the door. At this point, because of feeling degraded by John, I lost my temper and gave him the finger.

Lastly, I contacted the Arlington Heights office and asked to speak to the Manager. To my surprise, the Manager defended John’s action by saying I should not get offended because, as quoted “Are you familiar with the marines, well they refer to each other as brothers”, in which I replied –“That is your point of view and Marines are not the only ones who uses the term and that you should not have said that because in my point view – that term is also use to degrade people of color”.

As I stated, I recorded our heated interaction. I asked the Manager if he would take any action regarding this issue. He simply said''"I will talk to him". I was flabbergasted by this comment. Therefore, I sent an email to Enterprise Customer Service Dept. regarding this issue. If no action is taken, I will upload this video on Social Media Platforms and make John and Arlington Heights, IL Enterprise location famous for degrading a customer who is simply following the state mandate in regards to the Pandemic.

But it does not say I can only rent a Premium Vehicle if I Have a credit card. This is bias and discriminatory because not everyone has, wants, or needs a credit card. I would like to stay out of debt if you please. However It seems as enterprise wants me to be in debt just to rent a car from them HA! And let's not forget I didn't have this issue a couple of years ago and from what I was told they didn't make any changes to rules or laws. So what is it? Discrimination? Want to only allow certain people to have access to certain types of vehicles. But No worries. I found a better car rental company who was willing to take my $3k using my debit card and I received and was upgraded to a luxury SUV for a better rate. So now that I think about it I am glad you rejected me, you saved me some money.

When I dropped it off the very next day at another location in Norfolk that was more convenient for me he stated that he would have to start a claim process even after I stated the car was in this condition at pickup. I suggested him to call the witchduck location to confirm however he wasn’t willing to do that. Only suggested I took it back to witchduck in which at the time I wasn’t able to. At this point I am very disappointed with the treatment I receive and the overall Enterprise experience. If knew that I would be charged for the car damage that was previously done by someone else I would have decline the car and went elsewhere. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!

The manager who said she’d take my card & did all the original communication, was out of the office & COULDN’T ANSWER HER PHONE FROM A CALL FROM HER OWN OFFICE. So we had to leave without a vehicle & cancel our plans & drive an hour back home, where I’ll just send them with my personal vehicle, which is nicer than the rental anyways. I have them one star because the guy who helped us was extremely polite & apologetic.

They left me on hold for 20 minutes only to tell me that the closer location didn't have any vehicles available & that they'd come get me in 20 minutes. So the whole situation I was trying to avoid in the beginning ended up happening anyway.. I'm late waiting for them to drop the car off. But at least I'm finally on my way.. until I get on the road and the oil change light & check engine light both come on.. I didn't want to chance damaging their car by continuing to drive it in this condition so I stopped in another city & picked up another vehicle.. which put me even further behind schedule. Enterprise may be reasonable price wise, but my time is valuable too. If you value your time, Enterprise SUCKS.

1. They substituted our requested Ford Edge for a Chev Equinox and claimed it was the same class. Not So... Edge weight is 3,959 to 4,477 lbs, Equinox is 3,274 to 3,665 lbs. Edge wheelbase is 112.2″, Equinox is 107.3″. This is either deception (bait and switch) by Enterprise of lack on integrity by the agent (Stephanie).

2. The Los Angeles to Las Vegas drive was extremely uncomfortable.

3. It took us 45 minutes to get the car. Agent was confused and kept repeating requests. Took and returned my driver’s license 3 times. Agent needs customer service coaching.

4. Car was not clean and ready. Once we signed the rental agreement, we were informed we would have to wait for the car to be cleaned.

Like I said at the beginning, Enterprise is generally good but not this time. Avis next time.

Now, the brickyard is going to lock the gates in a couple of hours and I do not want to be stranded in Smyrna with my stuff on the side of the road and no vehicle. I was told if I could get a ride to the airport, they will give me another rental. I almost begged them to send someone out to see if they could air up and plug the tire. Nope, only option is to tow the vehicle. At this point, I am about to lose my mind. I have a 3 hour drive back to Augusta and really don't have anyone to assist me. My son is working and my daughter did not answer the phone. I do not want to inconvenience anyone else with my problems. Never have and never will. I was lucky to find a small compressor in my office, something that looks like was used to blow up beach balls. I try it anyways and the tire inflated. Thank God!

I drove to the closest auto shop and purchased an air compressor for $129.00 and filled tire again. I figured I might make it home at this point. Not so lucky, I had to stop on the interstate every 30 miles to put air in the tire while tractor trailers and cars were whizzing by me, rocking the car. Finally made it home much later than I expected, too exhausted to take anything out of the car but so very thankful that I MADE IT. Next morning, tire is totally flat. I unload the car, call Enterprise and let them deal with the damn car. Tow truck shows up about 2 hours after my initial call to Enterprise. At least I was at home and not on the road while waiting. Got to find something positive about this dreadful experience.

After tow truck driver departs with car, I drove my pickup to the local airport to close out my rental. The attendant was very nice and offered me a 10% discount on my next rental. I didn't want to make her feel as bad as I felt, but I almost laughed at the offer. Obviously, she has no idea what I went through to get back home, maybe she never was put in a situation like I was put in. I consider myself very independent and self efficient. I do not rely on others to assist me, I pay for what I have and always be prepared with my personal vehicles. I carry a spare in both my vehicles, compressor and battery booster in each vehicle plus tools. I don't want to rely on others and put them out to assist me. Enterprise put me in a BAD situation and it was the worst rental experience I ever had. I ever had.

She went on to say it was hers and she wants it back. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I asked for someone above her. She said she was the Boss and if the car wasn't returned ASAP or I would be going to jail for auto theft. It was absolutely uncalled for and I informed her I would return the that evening and I would never rent from them ever again. She said she has plenty of Customers and don't me. I have rented cars for over 15yrs. I have never been talked to or treated so badly. And I have never been threatened. So needless to say I do not recommend renting from Enterprise at the Norfolk Airport. It was a very very bad experience. I still can't believe She threatened me. If I had ???? behind on payment I could understand requesting the car but not threats of theft charges. But again the car was paid for. I owed nothing. So Rent at your own risk.

Original Review: Rent car for a week. Returned no problem. Six weeks later I receive a call saying the car was damaged - rat chewed AC wires. Returned perfect operating condition. I have passenger witnesses. ELEVEN weeks later I receive another damage bill for towing with dates on documents not matching. Total SCAM. Lifetime renter. Will NEVER use Enterprise again.

SO, stranded for 24 hours+, no replacement vehicle, charged for the day I did not have the vehicle and had to pay for another vehicle, which required a 3 day minimum rental for only 3 hour usage. I have never been treated so badly by a company. I guess I would still be stranded if I did not pay for an entirely different rental car. Missed 4 events, worst vacation ever thanks to Enterprise not honoring their own contract. Well except for charging me the full contract price.

Original Review: I am a president circle member with Hertz, the highest tier they have. Means I book rental cars worth thousands of dollars a year. Now I wanted for the first time ever try out Enterprise. I became a plus member and applied for status match. Then I made a reservation for a Full Size SUV, that is 99% the car class I prefer, especially the Chevy Tahoe.

I made the reservation and got the confirmation ** for Downtown Seattle. When I arrived: Of course no Full Size Suv. But, I could be happy and get a free upgrade and they gave me an Infinity xq80. I said I dont want an upgrade and I just cant sit in this Infinity with my 6’2” because the driver seat does not travel far enough backwards. The reason I just cant sit in this car. Then I asked if I can exchange the car at seatac airport which is 15 min away. “Yes of course”.

After my work at around midnight I arrived at seatac and asked for an exchange. “Sure let me have a look what we have in this class”.. “Unfortunately I cant give you a car because it wasnt book with us???? But I should try the downtown branch next day again. Next day was Tuesday, June 15/2020. I called cust care tuesday afternoon and asked if she can look at the station for a full size suv. “Great news. Yes I found three Full size suv at this station.“

Reservation number I got was then ** premium suv. Then I drove to the downtown facility. “We have no full size suv”. Wait, cust care made a booking for me for a prem suv and now you have no car? I had to go to Portland, I did go to Portland. In a Jeep Wrangler from Enterprise. For the same price I paid for the full size suv. 3 days I tried to get a Tahoe!!! Three days everyone was just saying “Not possible or Sorry. We dont have any full size suv”.

I am so disappointed. From the customer ALL the rental car companies expect the most flexibility. But being flexible by themselves? No, never. I can not even change a car in a location that is 15! min only apart from the other! I had to spend time and money to get what I booked. Just to end up in a much!! much!! smaller vehicle for the same price. Thanks a lot Enterprise for the great first experience I had with you on my first rental.

Original Review: June 16, 2020

I had to a rent car while my truck was being repaired. My insurance made a reservation 5 days before I needed it. I picked up the car at 8:00 am and they told me they only had one car available. I said that was fine. When I drove the car away I noticed the inside (and outside) of the car was filthy dirty. These cars are supposed to be clean and sanitized. It was horrible. When I got home I cleaned the driver's side as well as I could but I didn't feel safe driving the car. It sits in my garage and I won't drive it unless there is an emergency. They wouldn't let me inside the store even though I had a mask on, but they give me a car that wasn't cleaned or sanitized. That's unacceptable!

All good, but they clearly didn't bring nor had planned on me being there even after confirmation phone call. Enterprise rep at shop took my information and found the reservation. I showed onsite rep 2 state government issued IDs with my address, they basically said that they couldn't confirm my address and needed references... I gave them one. They followed up saying that they needed 3 more references in the event of an emergency??? At this point I refused.

Note: I've rented multiple cars in multiple states from Enterprise over the past 25 years, I've rented from this location, my home was built in 1976, I'm 50, I've owned and lived in my house for 12 years. I've never had this problem. Progressive made the reservation, my vehicle is clearly at the shop they have a relationship with. Where does 4 personal references come in to play? I figured Enterprise clearly didn't want to be part of the transaction. Rather than continue to argue, I walked 3 miles home. Later that day I happened to drive by Enterprise in my other car and looked over to a full lot???

I thought Enterprise was in the car rental business. The only explanation I got from Enterprise was that "they didn't want me to run off with their $30k car". My response to them was "I'm not going to leave a $200k house for a $30k car?" Wow, can't verify my address and I'm going to steal their car??? Is that where we are? Amazing… Enterprise will never see a dime of my money ever again. On top of the fact that I don't feel whole from an accident that clearly wasn't my fault…. Progressive issue. I hope Enterprise goes down with Hertz!

I get a call from the Enterprise vehicle inspector around 9am-11am. The inspector said he found damaged on the rear driver side quarter panel and some scratches on the rear bumper. I told him I wasn’t aware of the damage before or after I explained to him that I didn’t damage the vehicle at anytime I was renting it. So about couple months later go by I get a bill in the mail for about a thousand dollar job to fix it, also some crappy picture taking. I couldn’t see the damage at all just small scratches or just dirty..btw this it was already dirty. Thank you enterprise. So I try to argue with the enterprise insurance recovery team saying I can’t dispute the damage because of the agreement saying I am responsible till the inspector inspects it. Meaning I’m still responsible for that parked car from the time I dropped it off till they inspected it.

So who knows what could happen, this is that part that annoys me even with pictures of the vehicle after returning they still don’t believe me. Well yes a month later I paid the amount but used my insurance. I’m not a wealthy person so my deductible is 700 bucks. Expensive I know. So learn from my mistake. Take Pictures of your rental BEFORE and AFTER. And beware of drop off key location where no inspector is available. They might screw you over because you're still liable till they inspect it. I hope this helps someone. Thanks for your time.

I asked to be transferred to his manager or someone I could escalate the issue to. He kept saying he could handle, but finally transferred me departments. The next person apologized, and said he ensured he would have a manager contact me as soon as possible and push how urgent it was because I left in less than 48 hours. I never received a call back. I had to call around and finally found a company that had a vehicle in Houston in short time that would be available. As of now, 5 days after my pick up, and with my original return date scheduled for tomorrow, I never heard back. I will never use Enterprise again.

I was charged $75 fee because it was one way trip. 2 employees at 2 separate locations told me the fee could be waived. I understand/was given the price prior to picking the car up. (phone reservation) HOWEVER I would not have thought anything about having it removed EXCEPT YOUR employees told me it could be waived for the asking (TWICE).

One employee making a mistake is not unusual but 2 in 2 locations indicates that they are not up on all your policies. Once both employees gave the OK about having the fee waived ideally the manager should have honored the request and then spoken to employees about the policies. It brings to mind how when a purchase is rung up in a retail /grocery store and turns out to be lower/incorrect they honor it and then make the necessary changes to their system.

I'm disappointed that the manager at pick up location didn't even blink when told 2 employees misinformed me. Same for the drop off location. A big thing like a fee that no one apparently knows the particulars about and not even an apology for the confusion. I and my immediate family have used ENTERPRISE for years now. I am so sad that this experience has marred an otherwise great relationship.

I have already done the online chat thing with the contract number etc. They said basically OH WELL."While we understand how frustrating it can be dealing with policy and any kind of miscommunication with the branch, we would have to defer (pickup location) branch manager in regards to waiving that one way fee." They so missed the point.

I was put on hold and the line immediately was disconnected! I called back and had to explain the situation again to another agent. It is now 10 minutes till 12 and I was told that if he moved the reservation the full size SUV I originally rented would not be available at the other locations and there was nothing they could do to assist me. My advice is to NEVER use these companies if you need a reliable company for a rental. If you're flexible and don't care about a wasting time then they are the ones for you.

I attempted to rent a vehicle this week, only to be turned down, because my driver's license was tied to an unpaid bill. The only thing Enterprise could tell me is that the bill was incurred in 2014. This took me by complete surprise, because Enterprise never informed me or my company of any problem. Beyond that, why was the credit card not charged for the unpaid balance, if there indeed is one?

In talking with Enterprise this week, an Enterprise representative informed me that it could not provide any substantiation for the amount owed, his statement being, "Our electronic records do not go back that far. Any paperwork from 2014 is probably in a shed somewhere." Enterprise suggested that I simply pay the alleged balance due, just because it says the bill was never paid, to clear my name; however, when I asked if that would restore my ability to rent from Enterprise in the future, I was told that, because this has been so long overdue, I will never be allowed to rent from Enterprise again. I was also told that Enterprise posts the names and driver license numbers of delinquent payers on a "do not rent to" list used by all major rental companies, so I am effectively screwed from renting a car as long as I live.

When we got there, they said we had no car. They said they did not have to accept same day reservations. Why would they accept reservations on their website if there were no cars? And since there was no local number available, how could we know until we spent the money to get out there that there was in fact no vehicle? And if there was in fact no vehicle, why not call and let us know before we went to the trouble of going out there. They didn't care. They didn't offer any accommodation and acted as if it was our fault for trying to rent a car on Memorial Day weekend. Very unprofessional.

Enterprise called my wife after she turned it in and told her that there was damage on the vehicle. I have no idea when the damage occurred, but I do know that it did not happen while we had the vehicle. The damage on the vehicle was so minor that I would not have even noticed it if the salesperson had not pointed it out to me. I am not even sure how Enterprise can ask me to pay for this damage that was not done while the vehicle was in my possession. Make sure the salesperson inspects while you are still at their store. I have no idea what happened to the vehicle after we turned it in but I do know that the vehicle was turned in in the same condition that it was in when we drove it off the lot.

I called Enterprise the next day and filed a report of what had happened. I was told that I could keep the car for the remainder of the time that I had left with keeping the car. Then I was told that I had to use my insurance because I signed off not wanting their insurances they say but never was even told about their insurance. I then called my insurance and they were quick to get things done but they needed enterprise to send over the rental agreement.

So, the day comes for me to turn in the car and when I get to the Canal street office they tell me that they don't know nothing about the accident or have a report in their computer of the conversation that I had on the phone with the agent that says she took a report. But, also no information that my insurance company spoke with them even though my insurance company clearly stated they got the rental agreement from enterprise. So, the manager comes out with a attitude saying, "You got to do what I'm asking you to do because that's the only way this is going to get this resolved." So, I state that I'm going to call the customer service department for and he stated do what you do and walked back into his office.

I get on the phone with customer service and they are no better at knowing what is going on. By this time I was fed up with the incompetence of this company and paid my deductible and ended all communication with them. I will never deal deal with them again and I am writing this review to inform others of the why they do business especially at the Canal Street office in New Orleans, La.. All that I say is true and all the phone conversations were recorded.

Original Review: May 20, 2020

My experience from Enterprise has always been on point until this pandemic hit hard and all of a sudden their employees forgot all their customer services skills. Although I am grateful and thankful that the employees have kept working during this time, I don't appreciate the lack of customer care especially when they are advertising how much they care during these hard times, that's total FALSE ADVERTISEMENT! At least act the part of a caring Enterprise employee because that's a big percentage of their acclaimed services which I used to totally acknowledge and praise.

My horror story starts at the RAMONA CA branch which then trickled to the POWAY CA branch as well as the ESCONDIDO CA branch, due to them closing the Ramona branch because of Covid 19. An employee named Gabbi took in a truck I was returning in Ramona, but I totally forgot to fill it back up so she said, "We're going to charge you for gas," she was going to charge me 7 gallons (they charge like $6 a gallon), so I told her I will be right back. I'm going to go fill it. It only took 3 gallons to fill that truck back up and this employee was ignorantly about to charge me 4 extra gallons, When I asked her why she had done that, she had no answer and proceeded with some small talk like I was going to forget. Then she asked was there smoking going on in the car, I said no I don't smoke. I got the vehicle just how I returned even with the broken glass in the back that no one cleaned.

A couple weeks later I rent another car...an employee named Taylor from the Ramona and Poway branch called me with total attitude asking me where I was because she had come to Ramona from Poway to pick up the vehicle I was dropping off. Yes I had told them I was on my way to drop it off but I had a pressing issue I had to tend to so I didn't get it there right away and I take responsibility for that but this employee called me hours later and if it so busy and such a hardship to come all the way up to Ramona don't you think they would verify with the customer first if that's the only reason to come to Ramona for instead of making the customer feel like crap for putting them out, I got attitude from this girl from then on.

Janette from Escondido used to be a sweet girl but now she just totally ignores me and treats me like I should not be renting from them, all she had to do was bring a car up from Escondido to Ramona which they offer "happily". I said hello to her and she totally blew me off and kept walking. Kate from Poway is a manager I guess with no customer skills, she rushed me out of there without her facemask, or without doing a walk around the car. Then calling harassing me to return the vehicle as if I didn't pay for it, which they have never done before.

Now they TEXT me telling me that the bumper has damage. I returned the vehicle just how got it or better because from the looks of it the car was not thoroughly clean as they claim they do, it was totally sloppy and hell no I wasn't going back there with the way they treat me so I kept it. That the manager didn't do her full walkthrough is her problem, that's not manager efficiency or manager "role model" for other employees especially if the employees are doing a less than good job, that's her manager standards for herself and others, no wonder I couldn't tell she was a manager.

None of these woman like me I'm guessing which is none of my buisness but when it starts to affect me it becomes my business, I got total anxiety from these employees now, who can you trust when the employees rally (gossip) against you for calling them out on their less than par services. ALL THESE INCIDENTS HAPPEN IN A MATTER OF A FEW MONTHS. I used to love Enterprise but when they got a bunch of vengeful employess now...who do you complain to the head department of customer service at HEADQUARTERS in ST. LOU?

My son ended up taking a cab 30 miles south of Des Moines and it totally ruined his time with his 12 year old son. He returns to Oregon tomorrow and hopefully Enterprise will have the gentleman that waited on him give an apology. That's all I'm asking is either for some kind of compensation or an official apology. Either one would be fine otherwise I'm going to have to change where I go to rent a car but this is the only time I've ever had trouble with them and Des Moines Iowa is the only place I've ever had trouble with them. They have filed a report that's it so far nothing's else has come of that yet. Thank you.

So I get a rental in MD. Wait about an hour after my scheduled time for it because the car I selected of course wasn’t available (as always), so I had to wait for another one to come in from another facility. Fine, I don’t mind waiting. Car gets in. Needs oil change. Give me other car. Full of scratches on passenger side. Many ones I point out are not included in the report because again “anything less than a quarter size, we don’t mark, don’t worry about them”. Ok I won’t. Buy zero liability insurance just in case; you never know what could happen. Drive off with car. No problems. Drives really nice. Return car in PA when I get home. Guy says car looks fine, gas is full. Sends me rental agreement and I go on my way.

Sixty days later I get a phone call from the claims department here at Enterprise asking me if there was another party involved in my accident and if I filed a police report. Excuse me? My accident? What accident? I had a beautiful drive back from the Eastern Shores of MD to PA with no problems. These people decided to file a claim against me saying I got into this accident and scratched up the passenger side of the car. Those scratches that were under a quarter size that I “didn’t have to worry about” apparently I did! My blood was boiling. Absolutely ridiculous. 60 days after I return my car, after they said everything looked great, you tell me I got into an accident.

I told that lady that I never got into an accident and how can they tell me I did when I told the worker about all those scratches and she only put the biggest ones on the report when I went to rent it. Absolutely furious. And just to emphasize again, 60 days later!! How may more people were driving that exact same car in 60 days after me?! Lady on the phone told me I needed to calm down and she will take the claim off my file and it “didn’t matter anyway because I had the zero liability insurance. We just want to see if there was a 3rd party involved to go through their insurance” Ah. So you can’t pin this imaginary accident on me, so you want to try and make someone else pay for it. How about asking the person before me who rented it and scratched it up?

I absolutely cannot believe this company. I would never hide if I got into an accident. Why would I do that? 1, it’s wrong, and 2, especially if I’m not liable for the damage!? I really enjoyed Enterprise and their service but in the rest of my years on this god forsaken planet, I will never rent from them again. They are just looking to steal your money. Pay the extra money to get the zero liability insurance folks! That saved me from being scammed by these people.

They told me it was my responsibility in the middle of a pandemic to figure out which office was open to return car, and I quote, "We are down to skeleton crew. We can’t keep track of all our vehicles," so I had to pay for 5 additional days cuz they had no one to answer my calls, how is that fair, I called customer service made a complaint, was told I’d get a callback, I got nothing, I made a complaint online, no response, I’m just sad that in middle of this horrible pandemic I have to continue working putting my life in danger to care for others and I got ripped off by enterprise, not even a call or an email to discuss the situation, I gave them over a thousand dollars of business and got completely disregarded. I’m just sad, and have no other options to get a refund.

I told the girl that I didn’t need the extra insurance because I had coverage on my credit card, plus my own insurance. She had me initial to decline the insurance and sign. They charged my card for $100, telling me that was a hold until I brought the car back, and then it would be reversed once the insurance company paid, since I had rental insurance. She gave me no paperwork and didn’t go over the car with me, she just handed me the keys. You could tell they were in a hurry to get me out of the branch. Someone had previously been smoking in the car because that's all I could smell, but I took the car anyway because I was already several hours late for work. I did call the branch later that day to bring that to their attention. They apologized and said they’d ‘see what they could do’ when I brought the car back.

On Wednesday, 3/18, the repair shop called me to tell me that due to COVID 19, they were unable to get parts to repair my car in a timely manner. The same day, I received a call from Enterprise telling me that they were charging my card for another $44.70, since I would be keeping the car for probably another week. Again, I agreed since they told me that it would be refunded when I returned the car. I drove it minimally, as the cigarette smell was horrible. I only went back and forth to work.

My car was ready on Thursday, 3/26, and I was told to leave the rental car at the body shop because the branch that I rented the car from was closed due to COVID 19. I left the car at the body shop, with a full tank of gas. The next day, Friday, 3/27, both charges were removed from my card. On Thursday, 4/9 – two weeks after I returned the car, I received a charge of $160.78 on my credit card. I called Enterprise and was told that I was being charged until Progressive made payment to them. He told me that he couldn’t give me any other information since the original branch was closed and he was only filling in. They asked if I would like to be contacted by a manager, to which I told them I would.

On 4/11, I called Enterprise again and was told that Progressive still hadn’t paid for the rental car. I called Progressive and was told that they had not yet received an invoice, even though they knew I had dropped off the car on 3/26. I called Enterprise back and the rep told me that ‘there’s a lot going on with the coronavirus’ and they were unable to help me. I pushed back a little bit and told them I had returned the car over 2 weeks prior to that, and that someone needed to send an invoice to my insurance company. I asked again to speak to a manager, and instead received a 5 minute lecture on how I should trust in God and that He will handle all things in His time.

Monday, 4/13, I called Progressive to ask if they had received an invoice yet. Still nothing. And still no call from a manager after now requesting it TWICE. Tuesday, 4/14, Progressive called to say they finally received an invoice from Enterprise. I was told they were paying it via EFT that day. Thursday, 4/16, the charge of $160.78 is still on my card. I called Enterprise and told the rep my story. She took all of my information, confirmed that she saw the insurance payment and put me on hold to find out why I was still being charged. After over 15 minutes, I was disconnected.

I called back and got a different rep. I explained the story again. I told him that I wanted to speak to a manager – again. He said that he saw where I was refunded the money and it probably didn’t show in my account yet. I told him about the two initial charges to be sure that he was talking about a different refund. He told me that, yes, the $160.78 was refunded to my card on 4/9 and that it takes 4-5 days to reflect in my account. He said that, since 4/16 was the 5th day, I would see it on Friday, 4/17.

Friday, 4/17 – still no refund. Still no manager. Still a charge of $160.78 on my card. Monday 4/20 – charge still on card. Still no call from manager. Tuesday 4/21 – Called Enterprise again. Victoria said that I was charged a damage waiver that I should not have been charged for. She said would have regional manager reach out to me. Wednesday 4/22 – received quick call from regional office saying that damage waiver was charged to me. I explained that I was rushed through the rental paperwork and told I would be reimbursed for all charges when my insurance company paid. Can not afford this right now with the pandemic. He said he would look into it and get back to me by the end of the day. Monday 4/27 – Still no call back. Sent message to Care@Enterprise requesting amount to be credited back to me. Wednesday 4/29 – Obviously not getting anywhere by calling or sending letters. Finally disputed the charge on my credit card.

I've told this story so many times and made so many phone calls, I'm exhausted. I've never felt so scammed in my life and this is not the environment that allows me much patience or disposable income. They keep saying they'll help but they never do. My insurance company has already paid them in full. Horrible service all around. I will continue to escalate until this is corrected because no one should be taken advantage of like this.

At no point did I cause any damage to the vehicle. I simply did as I was asked and now enterprise are trying to sting me for the damage they claim has been done to the vehicle. The damage is such that it could very easily have been missed in the extremely quick walk around or it could have happened after I returned it to the dealership. BE WARNED THAT BEFORE YOU SIGN FOR A VEHICLE CHECK EVERY INCH FOR DAMAGE. They will sting you for as much money as they can and blame you for something you didn't do.

This incensed me so I demanded that he switch cars with me, and after a few tense seconds he stormed off into the building to make the changes. As a customer who rented a car from this location, I shouldn’t have had to go through those tense moments, with that employee, just to get a safer vehicle, which, one should have been given me at my initial pick up, 2 days before!

She insisted the manager came and talked to me as she thought he would be helpful and all he had to say was, "Well thank you for your feedback," and then walked away. Very poor management if you ask me. Needless to say I canceled my reservation and left without renting a car. It took an hour and 15 minutes between the wrong location and not having everything in order that they expected of me because it wasn't named on the site nor did they try to notify me after I made the reservation.

Fast forward to April 13, I received a call from TJ reminding me to pay my balance. I had called him back to pay what I owed, only to find out that I wasn't getting my $200 security deposit back because of a "dent" that was supposedly in the door. Before I drove the car off the lot, it was noted that there was a small scratch in the passenger door, and I had returned the car in the exact same condition that it was in when I drove it off the lot.

After that unfortunate news, I filed a dispute with my bank and Enterprise's customer care. District Manager Melissa called me two days later and told me that I was responsible for the vehicle's condition from the time I dropped it off after hours, until the next morning when Jackson Enterprise opened. She had told me the cameras at each location only go back 30 days, and she would give me a call the next day which was last Thursday, 4/16, to follow up and she never did. I will be calling her direct line and complaining once more. Overall, the experience I've had with Enterprise was absolutely horrible. Never will I ever recommend them to anyone!

They lie by being dishonest with customers in their word choice to sell this added on insurance because their get commission. I called the manager and explained the situation. He said he would refund me the $50 Which I was owed. And he said he would work with me to refund my charges back "admitting to his employee Being at fault”. Days go by I try to contact him every day. He ignored my calls. So I put a dispute in the bank. Because I used a debit card, they Fought and won the dispute. Had I used a credit card it would be a different outcome. They are the scammers, liars, dishonest. I will never use nor recommend this company in the future.

Original Review: I rented a suburban for my family. My husband, my children and I traveled from Miami to Key West. On the day of pick up of the vehicle, I was with children while my hubby picked up car. While driving the radio volume didn’t work and we noticed it was pretty dirty. But we continued on our trip. My hubby stated that we would get sand in it at the beach anyways. We never made it to the beach that day.

After half an hour there was a smell. I knew it was **. My son noticed it first - he thought it was a skunk. We pulled over searched the car and found **, roaches, garbage all over the car. Now I was upset as I was speaking to a gas station attendant I found out ** is illegal in Florida!! I could’ve been pulled over with my kids!! Called Enterprise while my hubby found a place to have the car cleaned. I called Enterprise upset. It was my birthday - the car had issues - and now I was losing valuable family time. The customer service representative (who was very nice) gave me the Incident number and assured me that we would be reimbursed for the car cleaning and Enterprise would “do something for the inconvenience.” I trusted them.

As we were in the Keys covid 19 began getting bad so on Sat (March 14) we decided to head home in the morning. I called Enterprise to see if we could drive the car to Illinois because I was nervous getting on the plane with kids. I spoke to another Enterprise customer service agent, Carol out of Michigan. She was very nice as well. She gave me a very high estimate. I am a school teacher and could NOT afford the increase. So I got an earlier flight out of Miami — I brought the car back 10 hours earlier than I was supposed to — so I should not have been charged for the whole day. My credit card was charged before I arrived at the airport. I explained the situation to the manager at Miami Enterprise.

My husband thought his name was Jose - but I am not sure. The manager apologized but they were EXTREMELY busy because of covid 19. So he asked me to give him a few days and gave me a card for the Miami Enterprise - no name on it. I got home and things here in Chicago got scary. It is an adjustment for all of us to go through these times.

I called customer service Saturday, March 21, a week later. I could not get through to Miami - so I called 1800 general line, after speaking to someone was put through to the manager named David. David listened to everything and said he would file something with Miami and I would here back in and be emailed within 2 weeks. It has now been almost three weeks and still no email, no call, no reply. David mentioned I should just cancel the charge on my Discover and then they would have to work our a new charge — why do I have to do all of the work?!!?? I called Discover - they want a bunch of paperwork completed. I will say ALL of the customer service reps I spoke to were really nice BUT speaking to each of them for 45minutes - an hour got me nowhere. All I want is a return of the day I didn’t use the car and a refund for car cleaning. Of course something for my time would be great BUT AT LEAST PAY BACK WHAT YOU OWE ME.

The district manager was very rude and insensitive to my situation because I had asked if they were having any deals going on with the company. He was very nasty and said, "Well you're driving a 30,000 car for 50$ a day. How much more of a discount do you need." Then went on to say the reason why he was being rude Is because he (he made it seem personal) didn’t get his money from me. And said he works just like everyone else. Very rude. Very unprofessional. I had called customer service to report him. I forgot his name but I hope someone talks to him about disrespecting customers. Thank you.

Second, the employee at Enterprise was really rude to me. Unfortunately, I rented the car during the Covid-19 season. My expectation was that if the employees don’t want clients to enter into their buildings, then they needed to stand outside their building to meet the customers. That wasn’t the case for me. I didn’t find any employee outside their building to serve me. When I entered their building, one employee shouted at me as if I was a thief. Or to put it in a better way, he behaved as if he had a proof that I was tested positive of Covid-19 and was coming to spread to them.

He expected me to stop and search for notices about Covid-19, printed in 12 font size, before entering the building. Meanwhile, he didn’t cover his mouth with a mask and spoke directly to me face-to-face and was not brief in anything that he said. I would minimize my interaction with people if I’m scared of such people. Right away, I was like yep, I’m done with Enterprise and no more renting from this company.

I take it to the closest Enterprise location to me on Tamiami Trail in Sarasota. The Cherokee I was initially given had a sunroof so I wanted another with a sunroof and it was given to me with ¼ tank of gas. I had just filled the tank so I took it back with a full tank of gas. I get there and they have no SUVs. The only thing with a sunroof is an Impala – no thank you. So they give me a 2019 Chevy Camaro convertible. My luggage going back was barely going to fit in it and it only had ¾ tank of gas. The lady said she would note that on my account and to take the car back with the original ¼ tank I started with. So I think I’m good for the rest of my vacation. I was inconvenienced for an hour. It’s going to be ok. Wrong.

Two days later on Wednesday 3/18 I get another call from Chris at the Fort Myers location. This car has also been sold! WHAT!?!? What happened to I’ve rented a vehicle from a certain date to a certain date. Either don’t sell that vehicle until it is actually available for the buyer to pick up or tell the buyer it is currently being rented and will be back on this certain date for pickup. Why is it my problem that Enterprise sold a car that wasn’t in their possession at that current time??? So AGAIN I have to take time out of my vacation to go exchange vehicles. I went to the Enterprise location on N Washington Blvd this time since the time before the other didn’t have an SUV. This time they had nothing to give me.

The manager was extremely rude and said that my original location should be taking care of their own customers and problems and not sending them to him. Wait, what?? Aren’t I a customer of Enterprise – all of Enterprise not just one particular one so that anywhere I went sound have been happy to lend a helping hand?? As I’m standing there waiting to see what my next move was going to have to be another lady came for her rental. They didn’t have what she had originally rented. He was going to offer her a Nissan Rogue but then realized he had just told me he had no SUVs so he back tracked and said, "No I can’t do that." So I’m standing there taking more time out of my vacation when he did in-fact have a vehicle for me. He then calls Chris at the Fort Myers location and tells him he has no vehicle for me there and to find me one around Sarasota so I could trade vehicles again without more of an inconvenience.

Waited awhile and no one called me. I didn’t want to go to the beach just to get out there and get the call and have to leave. So I decided I could drive down to the Fort Myers location since I was their customer and not just an Enterprise customer. I called to make sure they’d have an SUV for me when I got there. I was told yes but they didn’t want to have to inconvenience me. You already did two days ago on Monday when I had to do this the first time! I just want this over with. I get down there. I saw the manager, Chris, outside as I walked in. He didn’t even come up to apologize for this happening not once but twice. He ignored me and let one of the workers handle it. I was given this time a Kia Sportage with scratches all over it. You talk about downgrading each time I had to exchange. The key fob’s button for the back hatch opening up didn’t even work.

They tried to charge me for a refueling fee since I brought the Camaro back with the original ¼ tank and the lady had only noted I left with ¾ of a tank – conveniently leaving out the part where the Jeep was brought back full. I had originally purchased Sirius radio. The guy said well this Kia isn’t equipped with that. By this time I was tired of spending my vacation at rental facilities so I asked him to reimburse what I didn’t use of that fee. After I left I stopped at a gas station and happen to notice on the window of the Kia that it clearly said Sirius radio equipped on the car. So not sure where he got that it wasn’t equipped plus I haven’t been reimbursed for that so far. I will never rent from Enterprise again!

I go to Hillsborough office Wednesday morning 8 am. I'm told my Visa card with Renter's insurance is not eligible for that benefit because I'm getting a "discounted rate". The car needs to be returned by Saturday morning 8am. So I have the car Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Return it at 7 45 am Saturday morning. They don't open until 9 on Saturday and I really wanted someone working there to witness I didn't damage the car since I did not pay the extra money for rental damage insurance.

I left the keys in the drop box when someone working there showed up at 8. She had an attitude when I asked her to look at the car parked in the back to prove no damages done. I also took a picture of the gas gauge. 1/8 under a half tank. I gave them more gas back because I went over the half tank mark. I went on Priceline and saw I could get a rental car for 14 a day, not economy, but a bigger mid sized car. Never again Enterprise. Never again. Why a 4 day charge when you only have the car for 3 days?

I called roadside assistance again and they said they would be sure to tell the tow company to take me to Enterprise but the next driver said the same thing as the first. I called the Enterprise office where my rental had come from and was told by the manager that they couldn’t pick me up because I lived too far away (10 minutes). I should also note that the rental had no spare, only run flats. I was not told about this when I received the car.

I returned the vehicle early (the next day) after hours. I backed it into the spot right in front of the building and left the keys in the drop box. On Tuesday, I didn't receive my receipt, which was unusual, but I chalked it up to them being busy, when I was there there were 5 or 6 customers and only one girl working. At 1:54am Wednesday I received a damage report.

I went to the location at 8:00am when they opened, and the van was gone. I walked inside and was told that they found a dent in the driver's side fender, it was obviously hit by another car. I know for a fact that this damage wasn't present when I returned the vehicle, as do my mother and my wife, both of which picked me up from the location when I dropped the van off. I asked if they had cameras to see what happened to it, they said they didn't and it didn't matter because I was responsible until it was checked in, even if it was on the premises.

I said this wasn't right and asked to speak to her supervisor. She called a man named Zachary on her cell and handed me the phone. He said he was in another location and he wasn't going to discuss it with me on the phone. So, I drove ~20 minutes to his location. At this time, he proceeded to show me the contract where it says that you're responsible for the vehicle up until it's checked in, even if it's parked on their lot. Important to note this language isn't in the contract that you are emailed when you pick the vehicle up.

I explained that it didn't make any sense that I would be responsible for damages after I returned the vehicle, especially considering they both agreed it was possible, even likely that it was hit because of where it was parked. (For reference, this location is located on a main street with a speed limit of 45 mph and where you turn in there is approximately 20-30 feet before the parking spaces. Additionally, they have over half of the driveway blocked off as a "loading zone" of sorts.) The van was backed into the first space, hardly a place I'd have parked it if it was damaged and if I was trying to hide some type of damage. I asked the girl if they checked the car that was parked next to it, to which she replied "it was an employee's car, they didn't hit it" which is weird considering the spot next to mine is a handicapped spot and I didn't notice any employees working that were handicapped.

I am entirely convinced that the van was hit in the Enterprise parking lot after I returned it. There is not enough room for vehicles to leave the road at speed and sufficiently stop before approaching those parking spaces. Additionally, I think it's unreasonable to offer a drop box if the renter is still responsible for the car even after it's on Enterprise property. Finally, and more importantly, it's deceptive, misleading, and dishonest not to disclose this fact more clearly.

I cannot believe that it's simply a coincidence that this important piece of information was left off the 'contract' you receive in your email, despite the presence of several other, less important disclaimers. I assume this was designed specifically for situations such as this. The wording in the fine print that you have to click to open and scroll through describes that the renter is responsible until the vehicle is checked in, so even if you returned it and handed the keys to an employee who didn't check it in for 3 hours, you'd still be responsible for it during that time frame. Yep, even handing the keys to an employee doesn't end your rental.

In the end, I guess Enterprise will "win" this one and I'll be forced to pay for the damages, but in doing so it's important that they are aware that they're not only losing the business of someone who travels a LOT for work (~10 rentals a year) but someone who owns a service business that leases 5-10 trucks per summer to use as service vehicles for seasonal techs, and has typically used Enterprise for that. I wish I had read my review before spending so much money with them, at this point my 'victory' will come from warning others. If I stop one other person from using Enterprise, I'll consider it money well spent.

3) The employee since withdrew money on top of the pre-authorized deposit without my permission and I am currently disputing the charge.

---

I picked up the rental vehicle in January 2020. The rental cost was covered by a large mechanic shop with multiple locations in Toronto. At the time of pick up, I asked whether the rental had accidental coverage, to which the women who was helping me said “yes you don’t have to worry about it, (shop name) is covering it)”. A security camera is readily available for validation.

2 weeks into the rental. Toronto had a snowstorm and the roads were extremely snowy and icy, and I was driving a rental (non-AWD) without winter tires. I was near Birchwood and Yorkmill when the rental slipped. I had a choice of rear ending a vehicle into traffic or hit a stop sign. I choose the stop sign. Fortunate for me, no one was hurt and a passerby and a resident in a corner house came out to help me dig the car out of the snow because the tires had 0 traction. I called the city to report the incident and waited for the stop sign to be repaired before driving away.

I was glad no one was injured but angry that the Strachan Toronto location put my life at risk by not putting winter tires on the vehicle knowing how dangerous Toronto winter driving can be. I was glad that the damage to the car was minor (minor cosmetic damage to the front right bumper) and that I would be covered for the damage based on the information provided to me by the women who helped me at the time of pickup.

Fast forward today, I returned the rental and was very surprised to be told by the same women who helped me in January that I am not covered for the damage and that I must pay out of pocket – completely different from what she told me back in January. There would be no reason why I would refuse coverage when the shop is paying for the rental while my car was being repaired. Further, she threatened that if I don’t pay the damage deposit right away, she would leave my rental account open and charge me for each day that I don’t pay……

She’s since withdrew $500 from my credit card ($200 from the rental deposit, and $300 extra without my permission). I am in the process of disputing the charge and will bring it to the highest level possible at Enterprise until a fair resolution is proposed. I plan to also take other actions on this location’s lack of care for customer safety by renting out ill-equip vehicles for dangerous winter driving conditions. My advice for anyone renting from the Strachan location:

2) Carefully read the rental agreement to make sure you are protected; do not take their words at face value

Shame on Enterprise of Middletown for taking advantage of me! I had a terrible car accident where my car was totaled and I went in two hours after the accident by myself! I believe that they knew the dents were there and took advantage of the fact that it was a insurance rental to get if fixed! I definitely did not damage the car and the sales representative must have been able to see them because he was over 6 feet tall! You can see from the pictures that the dents almost look like dimples in the vehicle and are easy to miss with the clouds from the sky reflecting on the car. They were quick to charge my credit card $400 and the representative I spoke to when I went back had a nasty attitude! Unprofessional and shameful practices to say the least! I will be sharing this post with Consumer Affairs, The Better Business Bureau and my attorney!

Yesterday I secured a rental of a 15 passenger van from Enterprise only to be called hours later and told they don't have any. Why does your online system guarantee what is at the location and allow you to book it if you do not actually have it? Now I am scrambling and call yet another Enterprise location in search of one and as I'm on the phone the manager is cussing at whoever is in the store with him and repeatedly telling me to hold on so he can argue with whoever is in front of him. Enterprise- a company with no reliability, concern or class.

Branding me as UNPROFESSIONAL for replying to a request for a rating is in itself very UNPROFESSIONAL, especially if it came from a CUSTOMER SERVICE REP. With this terrible experience, I will tell the people in my social circle to stop patronizing Enterprise Rent a Car as the culture of rudeness and being unprofessional is prevalent therein.

On Thursday, March 27th I called them because #1 I had not received the refund of the $200 and #2 I had not received a finalized statement emailed to me. When I called to inquire about the returned refund, the agent asked me if I was expecting a $158 deposit returned. I stated NO, I expected a $200 refunded to my Debit/Visa Card, she in-turn transferred me to the I assume the Manager, who stated that because I had dropped the keys off in the overnight they charged me an extra day and that he would correct the billing statement. Consequently, my refund actually will take 9 days to be refunded after dropping off the vehicle as contracted. So if you use this location my advice is to be be proactive with them and do not expect great customer service.

I called back and talked to Laura who was very argumentative and not even apologetic that we were left without a car after having the reservation for a week. She said that they called yesterday to confirm my reservation but I didn't call back. I said I heard the voice mail late yesterday and it didn't say to call back. All it said was they were confirming my reservation. She just kept saying it was my fault and they have no cars. I said, "Do you realize we have a family crisis and we counted on that car." She didn't care. She never even apologized. She just said she could have the area manager call me. I asked if she was there and she said she was from Wichita. I said never mind because it won't do me any good.

I called Enterprise Corporate and was given Escalated Complaints. I forgot the woman's name but she was very nonchalant and said she could have the area manager call me also. I said ok but I wish I hadn't. I know it won't do any good. I called Hertz and they got us a car today at a better price and a big upgrade. I told them what Enterprise did to us. I will absolutely NEVER call Enterprise again after they treated me this way. I will also warn anyone else not to count on their reservation!

I got upset and told him that he could have told me that about 10 minutes ago and that is was not nice to have us waiting for no reason now to send us back home, but we did it. So now we come back and the manager is in the office and was aware from the whole situation because he was there all the time. Another guy opened up the file, and started the process right away, while the manager was in the office not saying anything, but he knew.

To our big surprise the man turned over to the manager and told him our account was flagged and we could not rent a car, so they would not give is a car. Next thing as a big surprise he told us we insulted one of their employees by calling him a name. Yes we were upset but we never called anyone a name. Would you think we would go home 15 minutes and back 15 minutes after calling someone a name? We were completely surprised, and asked to speak to the manager, who told us he had to take in many returns first. Then at a certain moment he told us that our own car could not be parked on the property so we had to move it. The man did everything to send us away. So finally we left without a car. We really felt discriminated the other way around. We hadn't done anything wrong. We even asked to rewind the cameras to prove that. The answer was, "We have no cameras."

Then I reach out to the corporate headquarters about the situation and the lady tells me that she will get with the office (location: 10010 N. Florida Ave, Tampa, Fl) and have the manager call me back. I doubt he will call me because he hasn't called me in the past 3 weeks! Then I write them on Facebook about the situation 2 days ago and they said they will have regional management reach out to me. How hard is it to make a phone call or send an email? Obviously for Enterprise it is better for them to ignore their mistakes. This is the worst customer service that I have ever experienced in my life. Do not do business with this company! Stay far away!

We should report this to Consumer Affairs or somehow above should read about them and take action appropriately. It is not 1 dollar or 2 dollars it is the principle of honesty. They tell we cannot change or do anything for sake of customer satisfaction - they don't care also. Yes this is not resolved - I have sent few times about how they do.

First they said or put a notation that i asked for a big car, if I have lot of money but I have lot of good heart by God's grace i will not be paying in installments to Crew - i would be paying really down. Person Andrew said I am a billionaire. I look but I am billionaire at heart. if they do not have a car, they should not book at all then quietly they said the tax will be one dollar and something now they had increased to 37 dollars which is not fair. This means they are keen to keep playing and not telling the truth or ethics or integrity how would I rent personally with them - any thoughts. Not resolved - I would appreciate if you can take a lead since I had sent so many emails or fax about them how enterprise especially this particular location no response from any body.

I go back with my brother who was with me to use a credit card of his, they said no again.. At this point I’m running 1 hour behind in schedule. I had no choice but to take my brother home and drop him off seeing as to how they wasn’t going to let me get a car. After dropping him off I read the policies. Policy states I CAN use a debit ban card! And I can rent if I live within 50 miles!!!!

I called the other office w that was about 30 minutes away. He said, "Ma'am I’m sorry. They have updated the policy so yes you can rent a car," I let him know how unsatisfied I was with the whole experience. He said, "Ma'am I’m sorry but by law we have to let him have a lunch and he was the only one working," I said, "No. There was another Enterprise employee working with him. They BOTH got out of the vehicle coming back from HIS lunch." I’m absolutely upset. It’s 4:00 and I’m just now hitting the road in my own vehicle because I refuse to deal with that office again. He gave me every excuse not to rent to me and my husband, he gave me hell to even add him as a driver. Asked if it was my husband. Asked if I had full coverage. Showed him proof of all, yes he is my husband. I think this representative discriminated beyond anything I've ever felt in my entire life.

What happened next is very difficult for me. He informed me that he was unable to accept that card as payment. I had no other card with me. I spoke with the Manager who advised me that per company policy they don’t accept prepaid cards. I asked when did that go into effect since he personally rented me a truck back in October? He said, it’s ALWAYS been that way. I asked why I wasn’t told prior to swiping my card. No real explanation... He then assured me that the funds would be credited to the card. I left that location with NO CAR and NO MONEY!

Today is the 14th day of February and needless to say, I am still waiting. I’ve spoken with the accounting dept. in Birmingham, AL, Customer Care in St. Louis and the card company. I’ve been given the runaround and sent off in so many different directions that made my head spin. Broken promises of callbacks from Enterprise Employees, late notices from my complex and a slew of other things. Finally my card company advised me that if Enterprise doesn’t respond after 30 days I should automatically be credited. However, I’m at a point that I don’t even trust that information. I am in tears as I write this, I have lost so much in this process and feel wronged in so many areas. But it appears that since it’s my problem, it has fallen on DEAF EARS.
