Pros:
Always convenient, professional and affordable. I love them! I one rented from Budget and had the most horrible experience. Budget was rude and expensive. That experience reaffirmed my commitment to Enterprise and I haven't looked back since. I highly recommend Enterprise and will happily continue to use their services.Hertz

I had prepaid for a rental car two weeks in advance, and there was an additional $200 down payment that I was not aware of. I reviewed my rental agreement and did not see any mention of this. Also, they downgraded the car that I had prepaid for without notifying me.2.0 Poor
