We had to wait in line for over an hour to get the car. The car we rented was not available so we got a larger car, which we didn't really needed. The inside of the car was clean but the windows were still dirty.

We had a 5pm vehicle reservation upon our arrival at CLT airport and didn't get our rental until 7:30pm. Staff was wildly understaffed and unprepared to meet not only our needs, but the needs of other customers waiting for their rental. Abysmal customer service.

Horrible. I rented a car online, went to pick it up and was told NO we don’t have any cars available. Why does the website allow you to book them if you can’t honor it? Horrible customer service and experience

Only one counter person and took 5 min per customer. Eventually a second counter person came and provided a QRC to make check in faster (don’t know why the first attendant do this) Finally got to the front and the online check in that I just completed was not in their system. Ugh

I had set up the “skip the line” pickup, only to find the kiosk wasn’t working on my arrival. I’d recommend calling ahead to check. Car cleanliness was mediocre; I rented a minivan, and found crackers under the seats and juice box residue on the interior from a previous renter’s kids. My biggest recommendation is to CHECK YOUR RECEIPT! I had filled the gas tank past the “full” line, yet found a charge for 3 gallons at $4.62 a gallon. I called to complain, and they immediately refunded the charge. Overall a mediocre experience.

First They overbooked I had to wait for a rental car to come in Some one did arrive 30 minutes later Other people left Finally got paperwork done but The rental person Did Not come out with me to review car He told me just to take pictures I did The car was clean but had small scratches all over car and on passenger side had hit white markers which when I turned in marker on paper that All those scratches and marks were already there The car was ok and not was I asked for but ok Service needs to be addressed When I turned in car one person outside told me one thing and inside person told me another thing They need to get act together My son commented I should have gone to a regular rental because they weren’t professional Also I was charged extra items which later thought I didn’t need $70 more plus rental but it’s over

The car a selected, according to attendant, was not available. They wanted me to take a “premium car” with an additional fee or to call you to cancel the reservation. I never received a car. I ended using UBER for transportation.

Like: The low price/day for the vehicle before adding CDW, Toll Pass, etc. Dislike: Lengthy wait time to rent vehicle (over 30 min). Lack of staff available to perform multiple tasks at once (only 1 staff was at check-in for majority of the time we were there). More than one person complained about the wait time including a women who had waited 40min at shuttle pickup point at airport. Long wait time for shuttle from airport to off-site location (15-20min). There was no information provided to contact shuttle or location to alert them to passengers needing pickup. Lack of explanation of required items, such as declaration page for rental auto insurance.

Overall a very good experience, nice car, great shuttle service. However, I felt I was sold services i didn’t actually need, such as the toll payment. There aren’t that many toll highways in that area, so it would have been nice if the person there would have pointed out where toll highways are. I could have made a better decision. I realize their job is to sell, but people at other car rentals I’ve used have helped in that way. Though that part was disappointing, the rest was a good experience, so I will use Easirent there again.

The phone number they gave for the shuttle didn’t work. It rang and went to voicemail for 20 minutes. I finally called corporate office and they contacted the office. When I got to the office they wanted me to purchase sunpass even though there were no tolls where I was. Lots of people in the office but when you walked in no one helped.

They lost my reservation, didn't call me back when I was trying to confirm, and kelp my money.

We had a vehicle fail and needed a rental car to get home. We made a reservation over the phone and then paid for an Uber to the location. When we arrived, Enterprise refused to rent a vehicle to us because we couldn't return it to their location. They suggested we go to the airport 30 miles away. We made the reservation through Kayak. After another very expensive Uber ride to the airport, we were told there were no vehicles available since we couldn't return them to the airport (despite the reservation). Enterprise clearly doesn't care about their customers.

Although I had a reservation, they would not honor it at the desk. Kept referring to some archaic system and at least 3 times, I had to say ‘bottom line, do I have a car or not’. In the end, I was left stranded.

I tried multiple times to get in touch with someone at one of the branches with questions about my rental. I let it ring more than 20 minutes, four times. When I hit the option to rent a car, someone picked up right away. It was very frustrating that my local branch and the airport branch nearby had completely different vehicles and I had to drive thirty minutes to get my vehicle

Easiest car pickup and drop off. Staff in the garage were warm, wonderful and helpful at pick up and drop off. Registration was at the Hertz desk and was lackluster.

Sloooooow shuttle service; more than 30 minutes. Staff says shuttle runs on loop. Shuttle driver insists staff has to request shuttle. Phone always going to voicemail--took more than 6 calls to get a live person. Had to request shuttle 4 times. Indifferent initial employees-blame shifting for problems. Car rented had mechanical problems within 2 miles of renting. More than 1.5 hours total from shuttle call to final rental of working vehicle while there were essentially no other, or minimal, other customers.
