Pros:

Staff was zero help

Cons:

Booked a car and the store it was book at is temporaryly closed...my personal car broke down in the parking lot and the closest store refused to come to me.(gasden) I had to walk 6 miles to penske to finally get a rental costing me 3 times as much since I needed a car not a 16ft box truck. Overall a horibel experiance. I started a curior buissness this week, this was my first trip. I planed on useing enterprise on a weekly basis....based on the service i was provided then left on the side of the road and making my first trip with my new company a nightmare and costing me money when I should have walked away with a lucrative couple of days I wouldent suggest nor recomend enterprise for any occation. I was jerked around...blown off....then treated like I was a nucense. Mistakes happen but this goes far beyond a mistake this is complete disapointment

Pros:

Only good part was the ease of reserving through kayak.

Cons:

The local office failed to inform me of all the extra money I would need and were wanting to charge almost double for just the rental. I got to the office and was completely surprised when I would have to pay $193 plus $200 deposit for a $127 rental. Needless to say they ruined my weekend and I missed my best friends wedding.

KAYAK

Pros:

The rental guy "had never heard of" the rental insurance I bought through Kayak (which was apparently a lot less expensive than Enterprise, but make sure you have other liability insurance). He also swore that I should have been aware of other costs and identification associated with using a debit card, although my first hint was at the counter. After that was all handled, everything was wonderful, but those were really unwelcome things to have to deal with on the spot.

Cons:

Extra income proof for debit card, extra deposit for debit card, general clueless Ness of counter guy.

I booked a car for a day the rental agency was closed all day. I went to pick up my car and no one was there and wouldn’t be until after I needed to leave for my trip. I was sent an itinerary twice for a car I wasn’t able to pick up.

Wasn't notified that a car would not be there about a hour before pick up time. They were not going to have any cars for about 3 days. I'll use Enterprise for now on.

They called me at 1115 and said my rental was ready, I told her I would be there shortly, she never told me they closed at 12. I made it there at 1201 and she told me they were closed. I made this reservation back in March. They didn't care that my rental was for a drive to Miami to get on a cruise ship. Me nor my family will ever use them again.

Rental was for my daughter's homecoming parade, her senior year, (convertible car for just a 24-hour period). I called 5 times PRIOR to pick-up date to confirm; all is confirmed for your rental, I heard every time I called and spoke with an 800 rental associate.. Received the local address as well. Day of pick-up, my son and I drove to location, tried to call the local location about 5-6 times to speak with the representative on the local car-lot to confirm my rental convertible was there. No answer, ever. Called Budget 800 number again; they could NOT reach local lot to confirm. When my son and I arrived, the ADDRESS was INCORRECT. The 1100 street addres was a local bank. When we found the lot, 1.5 miles further up the road at 2030 street address NOT 1100 street address, the employees were in the store, but would not speak with me. IT was 5:10pm, 10 minutes after closing. The convertible rental WAS NO WHERE to be found. Called Budget 800 again, they had NO explaination, didn't know where the car could be; "it's not there? Are you sure? We can't track it sir. We're sorry." Drove 250 miles, (125 one-way) to get this car, after all the confirmations, address confirmations etc., etc., this was one of the WORST rental experiences I have ever had, hands-down. Will not book thru this system again.
