I was looking for a 4WD SUV to go to the snow. I haven't seen a filter for 4WD, so I called Enterprise directly and they were super helpful. I went in and they got me in and out very fast and the SUV was fantastic. Thanks!

Usual enterprise balogna at this location First car had no air in tires. Place they take it Was closed so I could wait an hour for them to open or just for 10.00 more per day they can give me a better car. Not sure why if it’s their fault they would charge me. So I got the better car. Brought it up and it was not clean (at 8am) in the morning. Had to wait for them to run it in car wash. They apologized and said bring car back with no gas. I thought that was nice of them until I saw this 24 gallon tank with less than 3 gallons of gas Not only did it cost me 100 to fill but in way home how do you chance running out of gas from a long trip and have to stop late at night in an area that is not safe so I brought it back with a half tank which I lost another 50 bucks. If you renting a car why can t the gas be full when you pick it up

The middle eastern woman at the front desk was nice and friendly. She was very knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable with the car rental. I would most definitely rent again if she is the person helping me.

I booked the car, they called and said hey we don’t have the car, call customer service. Called them, they put me on hold and then eventually said they’ll transfer me to somebody to help me but it want back to the beginning of the call with the automated person.

They told me they were open on Monday, Memorial Day, when they were not. I was left unable to leave the car and had to drop it off elsewhere. The customer service more or less accused me of lying to them. They’re a horrendous, awful company and I’ll never rent from them again.

absolutely 0 professionalism.......miserable corporate culture.....angry people...maybe its because i booked for 5 days at $350 over the phone, and then got on kayak and found the same car for a 7 day rental at $235, and then put 1650 miles on the car cruising around the vegas desert.......the car itself was fine, but this tanner manager inbred wouldve dragged outside and beaten in most countries....
