The lady who worked the front desk was a saint. My flight got cancelled so I decided to drive back to home which was Texas. She made getting our vehicle fast and easy and was such a delight. Thank you

SUV was clean and fairly priced. Because airport is small, there is limited staff so there wasn't curbside service for the return. Had to wait in line and ended up taking ~20 minutes. Overall, a good experience, though.
Both key fobs needed the batteries changed and the car was in need of an oil change/service. I know this because the warnings popped up the first (and every) time I turned on the engine. They had to be cleared by pressing the “ok” button each time for each warning. Should have been taken care of before me renting it. Would have been extremely annoying to get stuck out on the road broken down or locked out. Otherwise the counter help was super efficient and very nice.
I rented a Chrysler Pacifica. I drove three hours to pick it up. Upon arrival, the previous renters had all tested positive for COVID, when they returned the vehicle the day before I was to pick it up. I never received a phone call from Enterprise letting me know it was not available. Upon arriving to the town in which I was to pick the van up, I made a call to see if it was ready. It was then the agent informed me it wasn’t available and there was nothing that would accommodate the five passengers I was to pick up. Enterprise ruined my Christmas! I was going to travel and bring back my daughter and grandchildren, whom I hadn’t seen in three years.
