10.0 Wonderful
Aug 2019
Pros:
The staff was amazing when I dropped off the vehicle rather than when I picked it up.Cons:
Be more bubbly and courteous when helping customers out the whole process of picking up for me was awkward.2.4 Poor
May 2019
Pros:
The staff was friendly, and courteous. But was extremely under staffed. The van I rented ran well For the long wait time (1 hr 15 min), and all the other foul ups, the Rep gave me a gas bonus.Cons:
I already reserved online. So confirmation with the ID and credit card should all be that is needed, but it seems useless. As I had to register as if the online process is worthless. The minivan I rented, was dirty inside, & outside. It had stain marks on the seats, and carpet. The gas was not full10.0 Wonderful
Apr 2018
Pros:
It has always been my experience that Enterprise offers the best "value priced" service. It has been many years since I have had a need to rent a vehicle but my car developed a mechanical issue just prior to a planned road trip. I am so glad that I went with Enterprise. The entire staff was friendly, courteous, and highly responsive. Enterprise has been and always will be my first stop for vehicle rentals.8.4 Very good
Dec 2015
Pros:
I only rent from this location due to close proximity to where I work and live, or the Balboa Ave location. Both rock!Cons:
I had a leaky tire due to a nail and was disappointed there was not a full size replacement. Not having one added a five hour travel delay. I coordinated services with Enterprise through my auto insurance carrier, Geico. They allowed a full service tow back to Las Vegas Airport where I received a replacement quickly! Drove back to state line, for my friends. Despite the delay we made it home safely. I also received an additional 10% off a great 5 day rental rate!2 locations in National City

Apr 2017
Pros:
I like the location and access.Cons:
I didn't like the choice of cars made available. Even though I called for a 10:00 pick up, I didn't leave site until 11:00!!. The upsale was a kill joy. You wanted me to upgrade but couldn't handle regular rental. Check out was a nitemare. Salespeople late and not helpful.7.6 Good
Mar 2016
Pros:
Convenient place to pick up the car which was small in US terms but perfectly acceptable for me. Cleanliness of the car was OK and the fuel consumption was excellent. So no complaintsCons:
The pick up process is always longer and more complex than I would like - even though it was a quiet Saturday morning it still took over half an hour before I finally drove the car away. All car hire places are like this but it was better than the delays I have endured in airports.8.8 Very good
