Poor|Aug 2022

When reserving the car, it was not abundantly clear that the rental car company was not at the airport, but offsite and accessed by a shuttle. Likewise, it wasn't mentioned in the confirmation paperwork. The confusion and wait time added an hour to my 'go' time. When I went to return the car, my dropoff time was before they opened for the day and I was forced to call a taxi to get me from the rental car return to the airport, since their shuttle wasn't running yet. Read every bit of the fine print!

Is it possible to get the three magnets back? Don’t care about edible items. Thank you!! I didn’t have any issues with vehicle.

I asked/booked for an “economy car” such as a Chevy spark or similar and ended up with a Dodge Challenger. I was trying to save money by renting a car one-way instead of flying and the challenger didn’t cut it in the MPG’s.

Reserved a car and received a confirmation, but when I got there they did not have a car to rent. Called Dollar down the street who supposedly had a car, but it did not have the unlimited mileage I had on the Enterprise car, so I did not rent that one either. Very disappointed in Enterprise. Would not rent from them again.

I was very impressed with how friendly and professional your staff was in Billings, Montana and in Denver, Colorado. The car itself was clean and comfortable. The tire air pressure sensor indicated that one of the tires was low. which was not accurate as I inspected it with an external tire pressure gauge. Overall, decent price, great customer service. Would recommend to friends and family.

Probably the dirtiest car I’ve ever rented. Dirty tissues, food debris found and no floor mats so ripped carpets in drivers side foot area. Lots of prior user papers in glove box. It felt as if no cleaning at all had been done between rentals or very haphazard. No midsize suv so the upgraded to a full size which was fine for my family but may have been an issue for some not wanting a larger vehicle. Would not recommend this company at this site.

(I had a reservation you knew I was coming).

The car was nice. The process of getting it was a headache. I did not pick it up through national it changed hands to two other companies before we finally figured out who I was to pick it up from which turned out to be Avis. Due to weather I had to change drop off location. It took forever to get ahold of a representative to make this change. Different ethnicities made it very difficult to understand what they were saying.
