Had told us we needed APP whatever and all this stuff before we got there so we ended up not renting from them

Staff was friendly and helpful. Check-in was a breeze. Minivan was waiting and clean. Drop-off was simple and easy. Excellent overall experience and lowest price as well.

Check to see if power outlets are working. Ones in back for kids on a long trip weren't working. Luckily we had long charging cords that reached the back from the front USB chargers that did work. All else was great.

The van that I had reserved and paid for 3 months in advance was "not available" when we arrived to pick it up. I specifically needed a large vehicle for college graduation and move out and this affected plans and I had to scramble to make new arrangements which cost twice as much. Will never trust Hertz again.

The car was fine. I searched for Knoxville airport pickup and drop off but was given a car at a smaller office in town—the taxi ride cost me $50! I has noticed a street address on the confirmation but thought it was just one of those consolidated rental offices a short shuttle ride from the airport. WRONG

We had prepaid the Chevy Malibu and the agent said we had a 7 passenger reserved but if we downgraded to a Ford Edge we would save some money. No refund was issued. When returning the vehicle there was no agent to accent the vehicle and poor instructions on how to return it without an agent.

Just having difficulty with the returning of required deposit for using Visa debit card to my account. Have only received one deposit out of five rental agreements. Expediting the return of $300 I would think is very important to anyone renting with Enterprise. Otherwise, there are a great company with excellent customer service.

Even though a reservation was scheduled for a vehicle pick up for an hour earlier, the vehicle was not ready. Enterprise scrambled to get me a vehicle and it was dirty and not prepped for delivery. The Dodge Journey was one of the most uncomfortable vehicle I have ridden in. No map ability on dashboard screen to access or Bluetooth from phone. Very disappointed in my choice to use Enterprise

It was a Friday, lots of people picking up. Reminded me of other times at rental places with people scrambling to find cars. Never thought it's the same in downtown Knoxville, TN.

Got me a good car for what we needed it for... we turned in early and still charged us the full price for the 6 weeks instead of the 3 we used scammed us out of 300 dollars due to price hike because we turned it in early did not sign any agreement that stated this would happen.

Make sure the pickup is at the airport and not a $60 cab ride 17 miles away. They don’t make that clear enough. But the people were fantastic!

Terrible, we had to pay for an Uber to take us to the car rental, and before we left the airport the rental car place called and said, " we are out of cars - sorry, try the airport" UGH we had to pay for the Uber we did not use, I ended up booking with costco travel and picking up at the airport where they had told me that they had no cars too. How frustrating.

We waited for 90 minutes to get a car. And then we were told we could have extra time at end to make up for it. But when we returned they charged us for the extra time.
