Pros:
Although the name of the representative slips my mind, I could not have asked for a better experience from the employee at Enterprise. He took the time to connect with me about my trip and ask about me all while completing the transaction in a timely manner.7.6 Good

Jan 2019
Cons:
We returned the car after hours, and were charged a ridiculous amount of money for a small scratch on the rim that we hadn't noticed at pickup. It felt like a scam, it took us months to fight it through our credit card insurance. I will not rent from them again.26 locations in Berlin
