Because we booked through KAYAK, the vehicle that we reserved was not available, but there was no way for us to find that out until we went to the counter. So we had to rent a more expensive model, which was their only availability. I did call them to ask that question, but no one answered the phone. It seems like there are a limited number of staff members running the rental. I wish they had answered the phone.

Pros:

From start to finish the guys at enterprise did a great job. They took care of everything and I was extremely impressed with their professionalism. When I arrived they had a shortage of vehicles & my car wasn't ready quite on time, but they made up for that right away by giving me a discount. They also explained in detail the features of the car & ar the end even drive me home.
