Pros:
The pickup experience was shockingly poor. The vehicle size I rented was not available after getting a Lyft ride to get to the rental agency. I was told that I should have arrived at 8am if I wanted to get the car I reserved. Instead I was forced to accept a much smaller vehicle which was not going to carry the items I needed to transport. The attendant was kind, but my frustration was high.Cons:
Clear communication! I created the rental reservation the day before with the same attendant I picked up the vehicle from. He failed to inform me that I needed to arrive when the Enterprise opened in the morning or else risk not getting a vehicle in the class I needed. The only silver lining was paying less than I expected.8.4 Very good

Pros:
The car was very roomy. I am a 6' woman and it was important to have leg room for my 10 hour drive. The young man, Gene who helped me get the car at the Enterprise in Loveland was very nice, professional and got me checked in very fastCons:
The car did not have cruise control. I would have liked to have been able to get a car with cruise control as I was driving on the highway on a 20 hour round trip. I think it should be something that you can request as not all cars have them.10.0 Wonderful

Upon arrival they harassed me because I had made the reservation that same day. According to Avis, if you do so, you must call the pick-up branch to confirm availability. Since i had not been made aware of that, i hadn't done such. So, they were out Economy vehicles, and they refused me any vehicle without a substantial upcharge.8.4 Very good
