Well I got my dates mixed up, which had me showing up to pick up my rental a week earlier than I had reserved it for. Lol. My bad! But the professional at the counter was still able to get me a rental anyway. Which was important, as I was there in Dayton without a car and needed to get back home in Columbus. So drop off was different from where I picked up the rental. Personnel at the drop off location was just a friendly and helpful. Thanks so much!

Pros:

Honestly, we had a pretty terrible experience altogether.

Cons:

First of all, when we went to pick up our car they didn’t have one ready / cleaned. They tried to give us a pickup truck for our very long drive, even though I had reserved a car. Finally, they “found one” for us, but when the desk clerk asked one of the staff members to clean it for us, the gentleman loudly declared it was his lunch break and he wouldn’t do it. We then were given a very dirty car, which reeked of smoke and had cigarette burns in the seats. Especially during Covid, I did not feel safe driving the car until I had gone home to Lysol it myself. I asked for a different car, but was told that wasn’t possible. Then, when we began our 10 hour drive the next day, we had to stop every hour to fill the tire because the low pressure light kept coming on. There was damage to the tire (from a previous driver) and the air was leaking out at a rapid speed. It was super scary, and we felt very unsafe. When I called again, they said to take it to an Enterprise to have it swapped out once we got to our destination. When we finally got there (hours late due to stopping for air nine times), we called three different Enterprise locations, all of whom said they couldn’t help us. One lady even told me that she was just too busy to help because it was a Monday. Finally, customer service told us to drive it 30 minutes to the airport. When we got to the airport, we were again told that no one could help us. The manager at that location was extremely rude and said our only choice was to go have it repaired and cover the expenses and hope to be reimbursed at a later date. I felt so helpless, as we had just wasted four hours of our day and still didn’t have a safe car to drive home. We were totally given the runaround and ended up having to drive the defective car back, just hoping that the tire wouldn’t blow on our 10 hour drive through the mountains. Between that and the awful smell of smoke, this was the worst rental car experience I have ever had. I will never rent from Enterprise again.
