Aug 2017
Pros:
What did I like? Well - the awesome Enterprise employee upgraded us to a nicer car at no charge and it was only his second day on the job! Pick-up was quick and efficient; and the "looking forward to seeing you tomorrow" call from Enterprise on the day prior to pick-up day was impressive!Cons:
What didn't I like? There was water damage on both side mirrors and the windshield which made visibility a bit challenging at night time, and especially in the rain. The driver's side windshield wiper skipped, which made visibility VERY unsafe. The car gave TWO "Oil Alert" reminders in less than 48 hours, which was concerning. The dashboard panel was really dirty which made reading the speedometer and odometer quite difficult. The car did not appear to have been vacuumed prior to the rental. Typically, I am a big Enterprise fan; just not this time.10.0 Wonderful

They called me 30 minutes before pick up to tell me they didn't have a car for me and made no effort to fix the situation. They were very unapologetic and didn't even care to offer any useful help.6.8 Okay
Jul 2017
Cons:
Staff at drop-off were far more interested in continuing with what appeared to be a personal conversation with a friend/customer rather than helping those standing next in line.4.0 Mediocre
May 2017
Cons:
They don't pick you up even if close proximity as only one person. They probably many customers to across the street at enterprise. The insurance purchased online is dreamed upon as it's in expensive but has worked some not for others. so cancelled Alliance insurance and purchase one with budget. Would have been easiest to go with enterprise...less frustration and head. I agree with someone else I was quickly ushered out but if given more to understand the important features of the car such as headlights and gas tank would be helpful.Avis
