Pros:

I got a refund.

Cons:

When I went to pick up the car (spending cab money), the location was closed until further notice. I spent an hour on hold to see what could be done, but enterprise just canceled the reservation. So I had no car and had to spend more money to get back to where I was staying. I won’t be using either service again, for obvious reasons.
