Victor was great and handled the customers during the rush well. The car could have been cleaner, but it worked for our purposes. Pickup and drop off where reasonable, although a bit of wait since the office appears to be short of staff.

The car was great and the Enterprise staff were great. A consistent problem is the lack of staffing. There are 2-3 people that are doing EVERYTHING and they are doing it well, but wait times are much longer than they should be. Corporate properly staffing the office would solve this issue.

They called me the morning of my reservation and told me they had no car for me, and in fact that they were 8 cars short of what had been reserved. They had no solution to offer me and did not seem particularly concerned that I was stranded without a way to get to see my sick friend to whom I was supposed to be driving. Will not rent from them again.
