The original car booked looked like was barely holding on, hub cap was missing and rim was bent, did not looked road ready, by far the worse vehicle I ever been forced to take. I paid extra each per day just so I can get a different car. I rent 2-4 a times a month, I never get asked where do you work , and do you have full coverage? Felt unnecessary because it’s a job you may not heard of? I have a couple multi million dollar companies and just felt overall, being racially profiled, and definitely would never rent from enterprise again.
