Car was low mileage and upgraded us after some minor delays at pickup. Friendly staff and made sure that we had everything we needed. Maintenance alert was on as car needed an oil change. It did not disrupt our trip. We picked up car in SLC and dropped off in St. George. Would definitely choose Enterprise again.

- Spent 2h waiting in line after arrival at night, when ~8 people were in front of us. - Then they refused to take our cards so we had to switch multiple times between the drivers and the process took FOREVER all the time. - The car had something with brakes, the car was shaking like hell when braking. - Price was higher as well. + We managed to get the car in the end and use it for what we needed.

We requested a car from the SLC airport and included our flight info. Flight didn’t land until 3. At the counter we were told we had to get our car from the downtown Herz office. We found a ride to that office and arrived to find they closed at noon. There was a guy in the office due to a plumbing issue who said they closed at noon and didn’t have any cars. They were closed on Sunday as well and wouldn’t be able to help until Monday. We needed the car Saturday afternoon until 10am Tuesday and we stayed an hour out of town. We had to find another rental option. This was a bad experience and a waste of time. We called and should be getting a refund.

I rented a car, prepaid and made the check in, all ready for just pick up and go, but when I arrived to the office, they told me that I had my license banned/blocked for a non-payment in a past claim damage, when supposedly was paid for my insurance company. I was hurry for get the car, so I didn't have time for ask to my insurance company what happened. It took me a couple hours even pay, because nobody knows why I was banned.

The car was nice. And complimentary shuttle was great.

Customer service could have been better, it did not feel that welcoming. When shuttling having my information to verify we aren’t getting into a strangers car would have felt safer. When going over the pre damages on the car before I leave I felt that it would be more beneficial for them to come out and inspect the car with me rather than me doing it alone. Security deposit amount needs to be listed because that was a surprise. But we enjoyed the car and returning it was easy. I just feel that those other things I mentioned need to be worked on.

The rate was great and I like that they had Toyota Sequoias.

The pick-up drop off is a little clunky. The exterior signs at the airport do not say Advantage, the driver for another company explained that one shuttle picked up for Advantage and the other. And I know that this is not necessarily Advantage's fault but when you google Advantage Airport another location in SLC shows up.

Pickup is by shuttle that stops at the airport Rental Car office for other brands. Return to that office offsite is navigable by Google mapping.

Satisfied with rental. Mid Size SUV reserved was Toyota Rav4 but substituted with Mitsubishi Outlander of equivalent size, also 4WD.

The price I was quoted on Kayak was not what Budget charged me - I was quoted $400 and they had me pay $560. The car also was not the mid Suv I had requested, but rather a sedan. When I asked if the vehicle was a sedan, they said no, it's a hatchback. I was charged more for a lower level vehicle. In short, I'm unimpressed.

The car ran great and was clean

Tires should have had 35psi. One tire had a nail and we had to repair that—brownie button to Discount Tire Store in Oceanside, CA who fixed it for free-they were awesome. On our trip we found that 2 tires were filled to 65psi and one tire was 70psi! They had been driven like that for quite a while as the center treads were severely worn. Unfortunately we drove 4 hours through heavy rain and the bald tires made it a miserable and slow drive. The front windscreen was greasy and gross. I had to clean it inside and out before we began our trip.

I ended up canceling the reservation the day I was to pick up the car and ended up using another company. The number given in the confirmation email to call once you land for shuttle service to pick up the car was no longer in service so I googled for a different number. That brought you to an automatic messaging instructing you to call the same number to arrange airport pick up. After about an hour of waiting unsure of whether or not any shuttle was coming I received a text saying someone would be by in about another hour to pick us up. By that point i had already canceled the reservation and booked with Avis and picked the car up at the airport, no shuttle necessary.

The van was not a newer van it had 73k miles and the tires were scalloped so at highway speeds we were in a cement shaker. We called about 45 mins out for a trade and they declined to meet us. Anytime we called for pickup it required multiple attempts to reach someone and even though we gave an hour notice when we were returning the attendant was not at the office and we waited 10 mins for him because he did not receive the Multiple calls of our arrival It was useable van but a mediocre experience on all fronts but it was cheaper by $100 I would get a nicer van and pay the $100 more

Pickup and dropoff were quick and easy and the vehicle was clean. I traveled for a ski vacation with a large ski bag and reserved an Intermediate SUV, a "Nissan Rogue" or equivalent. They gave me a tiny Chevy Trax and my ski bag would not fit in the vehicle without having the back seat and the front passenger seat in the down position. The Trax is much smaller than the Rogue and transporting the ski bag in it was inconvenient. How disappointing. Beware.

After waiting in line for an hour - along with dozens of others, we finally got to the desk only to be told that it would be a two-hour wait for a car despite having a reservation. When I inquired whether there were other vehicles available I was told that they only had pickup trucks currently. When I said that would be fine, the desk agent informed me that I would have to pay an upgraded rate. The desk agent was as kind and sympathetic and blamed the issue on the manager - who was nowhere to be found. We were able to walk next door to Enterprise and secure a vehicle at a cheaper rate in 10 minutes. The manager at Dollar in SLC needs to be fired.
