As always, Enterprise is the most expensive car rental option. However, I've always used Enterprise because as a disabled person with a service dog, I've never had any issues with my dog being allowed in the car. This time, when I returned the car, the Enterprise staff person, took one look at us and immediately declared that I would have to pay a 250.00 cleaning fee. I always travel with a car seat cover and my dog is harnessed in and does not roam the vehicle. If there was any hair in the car, it would have floated off when I removed the cover. It was in no way the "excessive hair" stated in the rental agreement that would warrant a cleaning fee. The attendant also told me that NO dogs were allowed in Enterprise vehicles, which is inaccurate.

Pick up with amazing super helpful. Though in the end, there was never anything in the car that said Alamo. So when I went to drop off, I couldn’t remember which brand I had used so I had to look that up and at the airport that we dropped off at there was literally no direction and no attendant to help, I think it’s an airport issue, but it was confusing . And then I never received a final invoice via email like they said.

Rental coverage to include insurance, damages is good, make driver comfortable although no incident happened. Pickup and return process is much simple, and cost is budget-friendly. One possible improvement is to have 4 rubber plates under driver and passengers' feet. When there was dust, small dirty from sands/gravel, it was difficult to remove/clean them.

In my opinion, I would not recommend to anyone a different car rental place than Avis. I dealt with enterprise a lot They don't care about your opinion. And they try to nickel and dine you to death Also, they try to blittle you. They make you feel uncomfortable and at.Avis, always had the better deals. Cleaner cars and great staff.
