Limiters too limiting
Pros: The price was definitely right, and though the online reviews showed otherwise, we have few complaints about the service on either on of the rental.
Cons: Hertz limited the cars top speed and top radio volume. In TX, where speed limits are high, we could barely keep up with the traffic. We had a long trip with plenty of podcasts etc. planned, but couldn't hear them above the road noise. What a pain!

Wreaked of Smoke
Pros: Were it not for the smoke smell, the car was fine. Fun little car to buzz around town in.
Cons: The car wreaked of smoke. I had to drive with windows opened, hit it with large amounts of Febreeze and leave windows opened during night to be able to tolerate the stench. I reported it when picked it up, but thought it would "air out" quickly. When I returned it. I was told "there isn't much we can do about it, people aren't supposed to smoke". Next time, I will absolutely refuse any car smelling of smoke.

Beware Pick Up and Drop Off Times
Pros: Staff was great.
Car was fine.
Cons: Reservation was for Saturday 1p pick up and Sunday noon drop off.
There was no warning at time of booking online that I could not return the car on Sunday to this location. So I had to pay an extra fee to return the car elsewhere.
It's not a huge deal, but it's annoying. Mostly because I would have made my reservation elsewhere, and saved a few bucks.

Felt pressured for upgrade
Pros: The vehicle was clean and drove well.
Cons: I felt pressured to upgrade the vehicle by the clerk. He stated they were short on the type of car I had chosen and prepaid for. He kept trying to up-sell me to the point where I caved because I was running late.

Pros: How quick I was able to leave with the vehicle after calling and letting them know I was in a hurry.
Cons: The vehicle its self wasn't my favorite. I had wanted a car. I drive a jeep so I didn't think it'd be that bad but it was like a bubble.

Why do You keep sending surveys after I already fi
Pros: My quick pick up due to a phone I placed prior to coming.
Cons: The vehicle its self. I asked for a economy car and was offered a camera for $10 extra a day, an SUV, which I declined both to be give the Chevy bubble. Wasn't thrilled but I drive a jeep so I didn't think it'd be that bad but I do not prefer it, that is for sure!

Rental Team was Great
Pros: The Enterprise staff was extremely helpful, friendly and jovial. They gave me an upgrade to an SUV.
Cons: The place was super busy when I arrived to pick-up the car so there was a slightly longer wait than usual.
A prior renter of the car I had must have smoked in it. When the fan was on there was a faint smell of Cigarette or more likely cigar. There were two empty bottles under the seats (OJ and Gatorade)

Mar 14 2017
Pros: The car worked well. The staff were nice and made pick up and drop off easy.
Cons: There were a lot of charges beyond the advertised daily price that were either disproportionately high or didn't make sense. Dropping a car off at a different location results in a $130+ fee (this is if you tell enterprise before hand. It is probably higher if you don't). It was cheaper for me to rent from Thursday to Monday than from Saturday to Monday.'

Enterprise Employee states KAYAK has no clue if ca
Cons: Reserved an Enterprise Car Rental for the following day with a pick up time of 9:00 am, using KAYAK. I received a call from Enterprise at 7:30 am (the morning I was going to pick up the car) informing me that a car would not be available until the afternoon. The Enterprise Employee told me that KAYAK has no clue if cars are available.
I had an appointment that I could not miss. I spent the next hour and a half on the phone, trying to rent a car and ultimately had to borrow a car from a family member.

Rating Not Applicable (since Enterprise cancelled
Pros: I was pleased to be able to confirm a reservation for a car via Kayak on Christmas weekend (on very short notice). Unfortunately, Enterprise called me around noon (after the reservation was confirmed around 9am) to tell me that they had to cancel my reservation (due to no car availability). It was disappointing to be granted a reservation only for it to be taken away. But Christmas weekend is kinda crazy, so I'll give Enterprise a pass. Fortunately my old 2000 Saturn (with 150,000 miles) got me from Albany NY to Fairfield CT and back .
30 travelers who rented a car in Rensselaer gave the car agency they used an average rating of 8.0
