When I booked, I put RDU airport as pickup. What I ended up with was 25 miles away from the airport. Why would I not get an obvious notification of this during the booking process. I ended up spending more money and was inconvenienced.Budget

May 2021
Pros:
Yes.Cons:
The vehicle did not handle well. I felt very uncomfortable driving the vehicle. When accelerating the vehicle moved in a Jenkins fashion. When taking left turns the vehicle pulled tremendously. And, when braking, it was not smooth in coming to a stop. I initially thought it was the type of vehicle but throughout the course of the week it became apparent that some of the issues were brought on by lack of maintenance on the vehicle. (On my way home from the rental site the service light came on stating that it wS past due for an oil change. ) The saying "You get what you pay for...) was very true in this case. I was very disappointed. :( Mary V Johnson7.6 Good

Pros:
Drop off was easyCons:
The first car was so smoky that the family we rented it for, with two young children, could hardly stand the smell. They traded that car in for another one at the coast and that car was dirty (in a pandemic, when the car should have been sanitized) and also smoky.4.0 Mediocre
Jun 2020
Pros:
the pick up / drop off was easyCons:
it was my first time renting vie enterprise and i must say, it was such a disappointment for a few reasons: 1. the car was not clean :( - this is always important, but definitely during covid...but unf full mess inside the car, back seat with candy / sand, and front dash board was frankly really filthy 2. there were signs saying no smoking, yet the car was full of smoke (which we all know lingers and thus was in the car all weekend) 3. there was no washer fluid which we discovered during a long drive in the mountains when we desperately needed it 4. the bright lights malfunctioned often (also not ideal at night amidst windy roads in the mountains) 5. there was Auto Brake warning light pop on a couple of times 6. and finally, during check in - no masks worn (amidst covid) and this paired with how dirty the car was inside, it was just clear that cleanliness and safety (re covid) are not a priority Super disappointed :(. Though this was the cheapest option for a weekend rental, i will happily pay a bit more to another company to receive a different experience.Car rental locations in or near Knightdale
