Only one person at rental desk; waited an hour for service as everyone had issues getting a car; did not have car class we had reserved weeks in advance; car provided had not been cleaned; person receiving car at end of rental was not wearing a mask.

Jan 2019
Pros:
The rental was moved to the Crofton Enterprise office. They provided an exceptional service to my family and I. And, I might add, it’s nit the first time we have received great service at the Crofton office.4.8 Mediocre
Dec 2018
Pros:
The staff at Enterprise were professional. They were hesitant but did discount our rental after bringing up the issues we had with the vehicle.Cons:
The minivan smelled like someone smoked marijuana in it before we rented it, so it wasn't properly screened or cleaned. The 12 volt charging ports in the vehicle also didn't work. The slow charging usb ports were the only power sources for charging phones.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
I like the fact that Enterprise called me half way there and not when I was already there to cancel my reservation.Cons:
I needed a car and the only one that showed that had one was an Enterprise 30 min away. So I got a taxi to take me to that city. Half way there I received a phone call from Enterprise telling me that they did jot have cars and were sorry. i had to ask the taxi driver to stop and change plans.2.0 Poor
