My rental was scheduled for pick up at 12noon, I showed up at 9:30am hoping I could get the car since I was returning it at 5:30am the next day. No car of my selection was available per the rep , was told I could wait in case someone brought back a car early. Waited til 10:30am , still no car. The rep said come back at 12noon the reservation time . Come back at 11:45am and there are 40+ people in line with one rep behind the counter. Eventually help came around 12:45pm. Ended up picking my car at 1:30pm. Not Good !

We waited 4.5 hours to get a rental car and I missed an important work event. Never renting with Budget again. A full refund would be appreciated.

Drop off and pick up, the staff was fantastic. Also no extra charges for spouses to drive as an additional driver which was a great perk. But our SUV itself was really rough. Lots of dents and scratches, and a nail in the tire which we refilled with air every few days as we didn’t have time to go swap out the vehicle. Our last few days there was also a warning sign that would pop up to check the owners manual but no error code or anything about what was wrong, and then it would just disappear. Yikes.

Enterprise made everything easy, from checking in, picking up the car and dropping it off. I went through Priceline and chose Enterprise. I saved a lot of money doing that. Also, we picked up our car at a local airport, even though we were not flying anywhere. That brought the price down as well. Enterprise is always my preferred rental car company.

Kiosk at the airport was unmanned and had to use Alamo for picking up the Enterprise reserved vehicle. The line was long and moved slowly and took about 30 minutes. Very disappointed with that portion of the process, otherwise was a fine experience.

Picking up a vehicle from Enterprise at St. Petersburg airport could have not been easier. Tyler at the counter could not have been more friendly or helpful.

Car rental was not at airport, was offsite at an old hotel which was very strange. Shuttle was broken down upon arrival and not running for our departure. We had to take an Uber to the airport which was very inconvenient because we were traveling with a car seat and a small child. This location should not be included as an airport location.

The free upgrade.

Long wait for the van at the airport, cultural preference playing music for preferred culture loudly in the van, no one at the desk to return the car, one was driving one was washing cars. The car I ordered was unavailable. The next car was dirty, and the trunk would not open. The last car I was offered was wonderful.

Drop off was at a desk tucked away in the side of the lobby of a holiday inn and required waiting on a shuttle to drive us the mile to the airport terminal.
