Pros:
The staff wasn't outright rude at least.Cons:
I rented the car for two days. Once I showed up, the staffer said that the rental would have to be for three days, since the car rental place was closed on Monday. He also mentioned it when going over all the other terms of the rental; if I wasn't paying attention I wouldn't have noticed it. When I protested and said that we had agreed for two days, the staffer shrugged and said it wasn't their problem. The staffer wasn't rude or unprofessional, he just didn't care.2.0 Poor

Pros:
The car of my choice was available.Cons:
I'd sooner rent a horse and buggy before ever I rent a car from this place again! On the web page I reserved the vehicle I selected and paid for collision damage coverage for the two days that I was renting the vehicle but when I got onsite I was told that the rental car company did NOT accept the coverage sold on their website unless it covered 30 DAYS! For a 2-day rental that is clearly ridiculous. Since my credit card benefits did not include the collision damage coverage and my own insurance coverage deductible was not LESS THAN $500 (which is pretty much the industry standard deductible for an automobile insurance policy) I was FORCED to take the rental car company collision damage insurance coverage for an additional $48 which cost was twice what I had already paid for the collision damage insurance coverage that was sold on the web page when I reserved the car on the website that they REFUSED to accept. Further, they took an additional $150 "deposit" to cover any incidentals like gas and cleaning after I returned the vehicle. Their cleaning fee is $100. While on my trip, upon arrival at my destination, I accidently dropped the key fob between the seats and reached down to recover it, where I discovered trash including food particles and a receipt from some chicken shack somewhere in Alabama dated a week before I got the car that had obviously been overlooked when the rental car company claims they "cleaned and disinfected" the vehicle before I took possession! So much for their "COVID" protective measures touted on signs posted all over their car lot! Fearing that the trash would be used by the rental car company as an excuse to steal a $100 cleaning fee from me I've kept it so that I can present it as evidence in court should they try to cheat me out of that money too! Oh, and the collision damage insurance that I bought on their website that they didn't accept I found out is non-refundable once the trip starts! Of course, I found out about this after I went to pick up the rental and got on the road because I had to depart immediately to keep my scheduled business appointments. I was already starting my trip an hour late because of the last minute changes by the rental car company. Overall, I'd rate both the car rental company and the website collision damage insurance company "R"! And the "R" is for a big RIPOFF! The CDW fee that I paid was essentially unearned as it provided no real coverage! And, the deceptive manner in which the car rental forces you to accept their overpriced CDW coverage I'm sure must violate some rule of law or at the very least is unethical! BUYER BEWARE!! BETTER STILL ... BUYER, JUST USE ANOTHER SERVICE, ONE THAT YOU CAN TRUST!!!! THE LIES AND DECEPTIONS WITH THESE COMPANIES STARTED THE MOMENT I LANDED ON THEIR WEB PAGE! I'VE RENTED CARS IN A DOZEN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES ON 5 DIFFERENT CONTINENTS AND NEVER HAD ANYTHING REMOTELY CLOSE TO THIS SCAM HAPPEN TO ME BEFORE! "NEVERMORE"!3.9 Poor

Pros:
I did not like anything at allCons:
They did not have any cars on the day of our reservation even though we booked our car in advance. The whole point of reservations is to book a car and time slot. They should not do over bookings and inform us in the case of car unavailability so that we can arrange our plans accordingly.5.6 Fair
Aug 2020
Pros:
Staff were friendly.Cons:
Pick-up took an hour. Company is definitely a pandemic profiteer in several respects, one example being their toll policy. Many toll booths only accept E-Z Pass and not cash so the license plate is charged, Enterprise will charge the customer additional fees in addition to the customer paying the toll. I explained were I was going to staff (inter-state) and received no mention of this. I also informed them that I did not own a car and have not driven since the pandemic started. I should have been updated on current procedures concerning tolls. Enterprise is definitely not be my first choice in the future.6.8 Okay

Pros:
The staff was friendly and pickup/drop off was convenient and quick.Cons:
The rental car I was given was an absolute disgrace. It was not cleaned, much less sanitized. It was a cheap tin can Kia that shook on the highway if you drove over 60mph. I did not feel safe at all. When I booked on Kayak, I saw I could get an SUV for just $1 more, but when I asked at the Avis counter they told me it would be an additional $20. I will not rent from Avis again with the condition of the unsanitary and unsafe car I was given. Very disappointed.8.0 Very good
