Oct 2018
Pros:
Attendants were polite and picked us up and delivered us back to the residence.Cons:
Didn’t like that they couldn’t help me with the toll payment problem. (I didn’t have all the change for a unmanned coins only toll booth on the Illinois tollway. I’m from California. Upon returning the car, I informed the enterprise staff who referred me to the 800# Enterprise problem solver which they said could walk me through paying the toll online, but that person couldn’t help. Also I returned the car with more gas than it had when I received it. (1/4 tank over), I thought they would reimburse me for the difference but just gave me a business card saying I could get the gas credited on the next rental but I rarely rent cars. I dont think the business card would be honored in the future anyway.7.6 Good

Cons:
They had no porter on staff that would detail each car between use. Si the office staff had to clean this is not their forte so to speakAvis
