Middletown office was great. Gave us a. I’ve car that we liked. Budget customer service was terrible after we got a flat tire on a one-way rental. Roadside assistance was not helpful and the customer service line directed us to three different rental offices in a row that couldn’t provide us with a replacement car. Ended up having to end the rental and take the train to reach our destination. With an infant, a toddler, and a family’s worth of luggage, this was a pretty unpleasant experience. Don’t think I’ll ever rent from budget again.

4.0 Mediocre

Oct 2020

KAYAK

Cons:

Waiting outside before picking the car up and after dropping it off seems like a poor way to do business. I understand that in these times of COVID-19, businesses have had to make changes, but being able to wait inside for a ride seems do able.

8.4 Very good

Aug 2017

KAYAK

Pros:

Car and service were great. I liked the fact that they didn't have time to pick up/drop off so they covered the cost of my uber...very nice.

Cons:

Back of the car was very dirty, food every where, sticky soda spills, pretty gross.

Employee at New Bedford airport Avis counter was fantastic! I wishing could remember her name. Nicest car rental employees I have ever met!

KAYAK

Cons:

No where did it say if I was using a debit card I needed to provide 2 utility bills, so by the time I went BACK home to get my bills and head BACK to the rental the place was closed. So I had to use my own vehicle to go on vacation

Jan 2017

KAYAK

Pros:

The team at Enterprise worked with me to get our paperwork in order; when we'd been waiting quite a while to pick up our vehicle, they let me have a better car for the same price just to save me time. They were very, very helpful.

Cons:

There was no mention of needing a credit card to rent the vehicle. I only use debit, so this turned out to be a major problem. The Enterprise people were very nice about adjusting the proof of credit requirements, though, so I was able to rent the car. Had they not been, though, it would have been a major disaster - being all packed, ready to hit the road in the rental with a kid in tow, only to be rejected because I don't use credit cards. There should be clearer notice of that requirement at the time of placing the order online.

Pros:

Excellent - The Enterprise representative was fantastic and extremely helpful. Would definitely use Enterprise again both for myself and my business solely as a result of his professionalism and efficiency.

Cons:

Did not have the car (category) I ordered. The supposed “upgrade” SUV was a very small and very uncomfortable car. I needed a bigger more spacious car for this reservation.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

This rental never happened. They started calling me Thursday, for the Saturday rental, saying they were. It sure they would have the truck I requested. Friday, they went back and forth saying they would have it, then they would not. Finally they said I could rent Monday and pick up from another loca

KAYAK

Pros:

The staff is very helpful and friendly.

Cons:

The car was not spot clean. The windshield needs wiping from the inside in the vehicles I have rented. I normally take water and vinegar to do the cleaning myself, especially for night driving where the glare of the incoming cars make the marks more apparent.
