Like most cities in the U.S., Salt Lake City is defined by wide roads and large parking spaces. Fortunately for drivers who prefer large vehicles, this means they will have no problem renting even the largest of cars. However, one thing to keep in mind is that you may be driving long distances between Utah’s wonderful natural sites, so perhaps a more fuel-friendly vehicle might be more ideal.

Pros:
Car was clean but damagedCons:
Staff was awful, both at pick up and drop off. I will never use Enterprise again and am already advising my friends and family of the terrible experience I had. At pickup, I was charged $206 more than what my reservation was for. The agent could not figure out why, and then suggested that it was because my drop off location was different, which it was not, Pick up and drop off were at SLC airport. I called Enterprise and it was confirmed that there was nothing in my reservation that had ever indicated drop off at a different location, and I was advised to call on a Monday to get it resolved. When I dropped the car off, it was over a $200 difference again. This time, the agent was trying to tell me that taxes for 1 extra day was over $100. I showed her my original reservation which showed $86/day and a total of $48 for 3 days of taxes. 3 days of taxes at $48 is $16/day, and she could not tell my why the taxes would be $140 for 1 extra day. Complete incompetence. I asked for a manager and she finally took this phantom charge off my bill. So what is the deal Enterprise? You tried to screw me coming and going. Is this how your employees are trained? Do you think most people are just going to shrug it off because they are at an airport and really have no other choice? Never again with Enterprise.6.0 Okay

Hillarie, May 2021
Pros:
The pickup at Salt Lake City airport had 1 attendant for 30 people, then the manager on duty arrived and helped. The attendants did the best they could with the crowd they had to manage.Cons:
We had potential safety issues with our car when 4 and a half hours away from a rental office. We repeatedly were disconnected from service agents on the phone, and NO FOLLOWUP when this happened. Had to spend several hours on hold with NO resolution and, I repeat, NO FOLLOWUP. The safety issue turned out to be OK, but Thrifty was not interested in the least to help us ensure our safety was assured and our vacation plans not totally upended.2 locations in Salt Lake City

Matthew, May 2020
Pros:
The car was nice. And complimentary shuttle was great.Cons:
Customer service could have been better, it did not feel that welcoming. When shuttling having my information to verify we aren’t getting into a strangers car would have felt safer. When going over the pre damages on the car before I leave I felt that it would be more beneficial for them to come out and inspect the car with me rather than me doing it alone. Security deposit amount needs to be listed because that was a surprise. But we enjoyed the car and returning it was easy. I just feel that those other things I mentioned need to be worked on.9.2 Wonderful
Tommy, Dec 2019
Pros:
The rate was great and I like that they had Toyota Sequoias.Cons:
The pick-up drop off is a little clunky. The exterior signs at the airport do not say Advantage, the driver for another company explained that one shuttle picked up for Advantage and the other. And I know that this is not necessarily Advantage's fault but when you google Advantage Airport another location in SLC shows up.10.0 Wonderful

Pickup is by shuttle that stops at the airport Rental Car office for other brands. Return to that office offsite is navigable by Google mapping.Cons:

Anonymous, Jun 2020
Pros:
I ended up canceling the reservation the day I was to pick up the car and ended up using another company. The number given in the confirmation email to call once you land for shuttle service to pick up the car was no longer in service so I googled for a different number. That brought you to an automatic messaging instructing you to call the same number to arrange airport pick up. After about an hour of waiting unsure of whether or not any shuttle was coming I received a text saying someone would be by in about another hour to pick us up. By that point i had already canceled the reservation and booked with Avis and picked the car up at the airport, no shuttle necessary.5.6 Fair

Cons:
The van was not a newer van it had 73k miles and the tires were scalloped so at highway speeds we were in a cement shaker. We called about 45 mins out for a trade and they declined to meet us. Anytime we called for pickup it required multiple attempts to reach someone and even though we gave an hour notice when we were returning the attendant was not at the office and we waited 10 mins for him because he did not receive the Multiple calls of our arrival It was useable van but a mediocre experience on all fronts but it was cheaper by $100 I would get a nicer van and pay the $100 more5.2 Fair
