Reserved a car, but was notified an hour before pickup that they did not have the car requested. It would cost $20 more dollars to rent a truck. They should have honored the reservations and given us the truck at the same price. Also, paid $22 for additional insurance. Not sure how to get it back since Enterprise cancelled car for us, but the insurance already hit credit card. Waiting to see if I receive credit. Don’t know who to call if I don’t.

Automobile was perfect (Jeep Grand Cherokee) for my trip. Car return was swift, easy.

Cons:

Picking up the car took more time than it should have. Busy, confusion, not sure if my car had Sirium XM or not. I'm used to a full tank of gas rather than 1/2.

Pros:

Staff member Sarah was very nice.

Cons:

The initial car had a broken windshield washer, and I was told there were no other cars available. After a call and a couple of trips back to the car rental place, they were able to find another car. It would have been unsafe to drive a car without a functioning windshield washer especially on snowy roads in Colorado.

When dropping off my vehicle there was no one in the building. I drove around back, searched, yelled for someone. Finally this man comes from another store and said he was out back. Not true at all. Car was so small. Can’t blame budget for that but it was not enjoyable to drive in the least.

May 2017

KAYAK

Pros:

The car I eventually was provided was very nice and in line with what I reserved.

Cons:

At pickup, the agent at the counter attempted to provide a jumbo sized van in place of the Chrysler 200 (or similar) Standard car I reserved for my trip. When I refused the switch, I was told it was all that was available. I needed to pickup the car and start my trip, so that was both annoying and stressful. After a few minutes, the agent provided a Buick Larcrosse that was very nice, but only after I said that I would cancel and rent from another rental service. Not what a customer wants to deal with for a reserved booking at the start of a planned trip.
