Pros:

Well actually GETTING a car would have been nice. Received a call saying all the cars were out and there were some coming in on Sunday when they were turned in so I would receive a call Sunday or Monday. NEVER HAPPENED. So, I ubered everywhere. Really shoddy customer service.4.0 Mediocre

Pros:
Absolutely not. Very poor customer service.Cons:
If the staff had been upfront and honest about cost, such as actual cost of adding an additional driver, cost of detailing at the end (for sand and additional &100!) very disappointed and will not return to enterprise.10.0 Wonderful

Dec 2021
Pros:
Staff friendly.Cons:
The car was dirty and smelled like heavy air freshener. There was something wrong with the steering or wheel alignment, which made the trip difficult at night in rain and wind. The Clearwater airport office traded it out for a decent vehicle, but the Coral Gables office never should have put that car on the road.8.0 Very good
Dec 2019
Pros:
just okCons:
Well, I was to drop off on Sunday by 5pm. I was there they were closed, so mis information. I dropped off the car and keys hopefully they won't charge me extra!8.8 Very good
Jun 2018
Pros:
Great price by going just a few miles off the airport - huge savings for my six week rental. When someone backed into the vehicle, the process was handled professionally and I had a new vehicle just a short time later.Cons:
The car smelled like vomit on the first day that the sun came out - I had it detailed and then had to spread coffee grounds under the floor mats and in the trunk to finally get rid of the smell. When my plans changed and I considered driving home instead of flying, I was informed that it would cost $6000 extra to turn it into a one way rental according to the call center, which is obviously overseas. Having a call center overseas makes the process to obtain assistance WAY too long - you can't just say what you need, they have to follow the script. This is terrible from a customer service standpoint. From now on I will just ask for an American from the start, it was such an improvement each time I did.8.0 Very good

Jul 2016
Pros:
I was very happy with the car and the price considering I was dropping off at a different location. The car was very clean, comfortable and gave me no problems all the way from Miami to Roanoke.Cons:
But was not happy about the ridiculously over priced fee for one extra day! It just did not make any sense and made the whole journey too expensive. So I will never book and then add days on later!Sixt
