Worst experience ever. Our vehicle was to be rented from Long Beach airport. Once i got the another enterprise they gave a SUV which definitely needed service. Every time i brakes or turned the steering it made some abnormal noise from the right rear. Very hazardous. Would not recommend this place nor their vehicles. Also, When i first enter there office one of the staff member was arguing of the customer on the phone for over charges.

Cons:

I was not able to rent it due to my age. Yes, I personally do dare to argue about this. I needed it to go to a business retreat. but thanks anyways for letting me search. I did not look over and ended paying it and having to cancel paying a fee of $50 dollars because I have to be 21 to obtain it. I admit I did not look closely. But don't send me a review if I never used it. What I did like was that it was a nice car for an okay price, yet not a convenient location. This came out in my research for car rentals that rent to 18 y/o.
