Pros:
First guy in Charleston told us it would be $210 at pick up and made us buy the fuel package (so we didn’t have to fill up before we dropped off the car) and told us that they charge for a full tank and refund you the difference based on fuel level at drop off. (LIE) the woman at drop off refused to refund the difference (we dropped off with half a tank left) she made us leave and drive 10 minutes to the nearest gas station and fill up (only cost $20 and they tried to charge $80) and after dropping it off she tried to charge us extra for the time we had the car!! We had it less than 24 hours and she tried to charge us 2 days rate. She finally gave up trying to rob us but delayed us just enough time to miss the shuttle and have to pay to get to our cruise. Never will we use Budget car rental again!!!Cons:

Cons:
We ordered a minivan rental at one location in ft Lauderdale and i called twice and was told that it was available but could not be picked up early. when I called the second time they told me said the vehicle was now not available to be picked up at that location and that i was to pick it up at the Fort Lauderdale airport location. Upon arrival my husband was told the vehicle was no longer available AND that if we wanted another vehicle that we would only be able to acquire an SUV and that we would have to pay WAY more than the original quoted price. I called customer service and was told to talk to the location of where we were returning the vehicle and that could adjust the price. Then when i spoke to them they said it was an error on the original locations part and that i needed to speak with them. I am at my wits end with this error and considering that this all occurred during the time of hurricane Irma it is seriously starting to feel like price gouging and i am prepared to leave a bad review on all sites if necessary if this is not resolved.Enterprise Rent-A-Car

Pros:
Nothing! I never got a car.Cons:
They had me coming back to their location for two days and never had a car available. I finally gave up. I had made my reservation 45 days earlier and they couldn't complete their end of the bargain. The best they said they could do was they would " Let me" sit in the waiting area at the end of the line and wait for a car to appear! This was on my third trip to their location and two days after by rental was supposed to begin! While waiting we noticed that the "walk-up" rate for cars had risen to over $100/ day. I believe they "better dealed" me. My rate was $43/day. Never again! I will spread the word that Enterprise Cos.are dishonest.Sixt
