Pros:

Got an unexpected upgrade because the type I rented wasn't available. Vehicle was in excellent condition. Lenience with dropoff time is a good policy.

Cons:

Car rentals are expensive, period; not my favorite way to spend money. Not a fan of the hard sell on extra unnecessary insurance; my ability with risk assessment is better than that.

Pros:

Tyler was the most pleasant and professional rental car agent I've EVER encountered. So personable, professional and accommodating. He also had great follow up and memory when I called to ask him a question. Honestly, Enterprise would be foolish to not pay attention or not advance this employee. I'd rent again from Enterprise just because of Tyler and what a great brand ambassador he was!

I went to pick up my car around the 5pm reservation time, and they said they had no more cars. They did not offer any solutions. They blamed it on their managers coming and taking cars off their lot to bring them to another location. This was incredibly stressful since we were leaving on a trip the next day. We had to call customer service, and they tried to offer us a car that was $100 more, and an hour away! They took no accountability for their fault, and lacked customer service skills. I will never rent from them again, such a poor excuse for a company.
