This was my first time renting from Enterprise, so they set up a profile for me when I rented the car. Even with the profile set-up, it did not take long to get my rental vehicle. The vehicle was clean, and Enterprise included a snow brush in the vehicle, which is a necessity this time of year. Returning the vehicle was also hassle free. I am very pleased with how smoothly the whole process went.

They treat you like you have done this a million times. This was my first time renting a car. They didn’t bother to tell me when I reserved my car that I would have to put and extra $500 on it. I could have been prepared. I was dropped off and had no one there to help me if I didn’t have the money to move around. I asked for the smallest cheapest car. I got a NINE passenger boat! Will definitely check out other places if I need to rent a car again. 😞

Pick up and drop off were easy and quick. The windscreen could have been a little cleaner. The inside was streaked, we had to clean to make visibility better. But the car was great. Would use Hertz again.

Check in/out was a breeze, especially when returning the car after hours, it took less than a minute.
Very convenient, efficient service. Windshields and outside rear view mirrors could have been cleaner. Minor problem.

My flight was running two hours behind and would arrive after alamo’s scheduled closing time When I notified them they assured me that they would be there and would have my car ready. And they did! Thanks alamo
I didn’t like anything. I asked for a full size car. I was given a mustang convertible. I asked about why that car. I was told that’s what my manager told me to give you. Why would people in their 70’s want a two door convertible? It was so small we had to put two suitcases in the back seat. The car sat extremely low and we had a hard time getting in and out of the vehicle. The back tires should have been replaced. We prayed every morning that the tires would make the trip from Rapid City, SD to Fresno, CA. Also at traffic lights when stopped the car kept wanting to stall out. I feel like there was no need for a convertible in South Dakota and the manager wanted to get rid of it. I feel like National should be paying me the $4700.00 I paid National for me moving the car for them. Never again. Going to use Hertz next time.

They could have done a lot better job of cleaning the windshield on the inside, Also I was told that their was a shortage on rental cars an that was why I had to pay the price I did. That was Bs As the lot was full of cars an their was more on the lot down below.
Car was fine. Pickup was poor experience. Very snippy employee who seemed bothered I was renting the car. Then the car wasn’t full of gas, and same snippy employee told me to return the car half full at drop off. Nobody around at 6am for drop off, so I dropped keys into night Dropbox. 3 hours later I received my receipt… I was charged $65 for gas surcharge since car was returned not full. More phone calls, and charge still not reversed 24 hours later. No apology. Very poor customer service!!

I had a mystery vehicle, i.e. I didn't select what we would get, but I was very pleased with what we were given. Vehicle wasn't ready at the appointment time so we had to wait nearly an hour to get the vehicle. Cost to rent seemed expensive.

I usually rent from a competitor with which I have status. However, their prices were terrible that weekend. I rented a modest car from Avis but ended up in a great Ford SUV. I'm more likely to rent again from Avis now.
The moron at the budget counter ran my card twice without telling me, which led to it being declined twice for fraud detection. He didn’t allow me to talk to my bank and tell them that i was traveling before running the card a second time, which resulted in me not getting a car at all. It was midnight and all other car rental places were closed at that point. I then had to uber and hitchhike to my friends wedding. A disaster. Never using budget again.
