They promised a car picked up in California and to be dropped in Oregon. They changed the rental to be delivered back to the pick up point. I had to cancel and go with another company at much more money.

Great service at pick up and drop off. Was given a larger car than requested because "I WAS LATE". AA's fault not Enterprise's or mine. Great car, very happy that I was given a larger car than requested. Contemplating on buying the same as I rented. VW Passat. This car was very clean and almost drove itself. It was like I was driving the Knight Industries Two Thousand but without KITT's voice. Pssssst, VW, add KITT's voice and you'll sell millions upon millions. I am a very happy renter and will rent from Enterprise again as I have in the past. Thank you Humboldt airport Enterprise staff and most of all the lady that answered the phone on the evening of Oct 21 2021 that did her best to hold a car for me. WOW! what great customer service. I could not have asked for better.

Poor|Jul 2021
The car we got was a perfect size and suited our trip. The "cigarette lighter" electrical port was defective (didn't appear to be connected) and we couldn't charge some of our devices. We were charged $50 for dropping the car off on at the airport (3 minutes from our house) instead of Eureka (20 minutes away) on a Sunday, when both offices were closed. Would not use Enterprise again except they're the only game in our town! :(
I talked to a service rep and said that I would be there at 4pm. I arrived after 4pm and was shocked that they closed at 4pm. That service rep should have told me they close at 4pm. Unacceptable service.

My problem wasn’t with Hertz. My reservation through Kayak was the problem. Apparently Kayak doesn’t bother to check when their partners are open. I was supposed to return the rental car on Sunday. Guess what? That office isn’t open on Sunday. I had no choice but to pay for an extra day which I didn’t use. Last time I’ll be burned by third party bookers. They have no accountability. Hey Kayak, reach out and reimburse me for your incompetence.

Hertz is the only other rental company in Eureka but Enterprise is most definitely superior than Hertz but to get a Rental Vehicle is better than not being able to get one.
