Pros:

The staff was courteous and friendly. I liked the fact that I had a choice of which van I could use. There were several different colors (I went with the gray with black wheels). After that the check out was smooth.

Cons:

The airport location I picked it up at (Lambert-St. Louis) the Enterprise signage was not very prominent so it was little confusing finding it.

When we picked up the car and went outside, the two greeters were chatting and showing pictures on their iPhones. After waiting a couple of minutes I had to ask if they were the greeters that were to get my car. We were anticipating getting a Camry as that was what was advertised and that is a car we were familiar with. The only car in the row of full-size cars was one !!! Impala. They radioed to someone and an assistant manager came out and began going off to bring up other cars. By this time, there were several other customers wanting any car to get onto their Business appointments. After considerable confusion, the assistant manager offered us a Hyundai Kona, telling us it was a considerable upgrade. We did not feel that it had much acceleration since we were having to get on the interstate and drive a couple of hours to our destination. When we returned the car on Natural Bridge Road coming from the east, we and five other customers turned in where it says “drop off.” along the fence. We parked the car and took our bags to the shuttle location only to find that we had left the car in an incorrect space and should have come down to the light at the next street to find your entry drive for drop off. This was considerably wearing on us in the heat to walk back with bags etc. Our wish would be a different sign at that turn in. I do wish to say that when we picked up the car, the shuttle drivers and the desk staff were more than polite, efficient and helpful. They are your stars. We would wish for a Code or number for discount that would make us return to Alamo as I am the one who does the booking. When my husband was working, he had a code for National and we always enjoyed the nice cars that we used during those years. Everything has changed since those days and that number is no longer recognized or honored. Thank you for your wish for feedback I do not wish to be a complainer as we recognize how difficult good service is to find these days. Mrs. Steve Stone

30 minutes to get a vehicle with only one person in line in front of me. Too much interaction with too many different people that said the person before them didn't do their job correctly.

At pickup, two employees were having a "robust" conversation as to who was responsible for listening to the vehicle numbers radioed back to them. It was a "passionate" conversation that prevented work from continuing. The conditions of some of the vehicles were a bit concerning. The F-150 clearly needed an alignment which could have been a safety issue. Another customer (disabled vet) was provided a Charger that had been in an accident. He waited around for roughly an half hour for help but no one came. He loaded his wheelchair into the trunk and left.

When I got there they said I’d have to wait 2 hours for a car, they didn’t have any. Even though I reserved one weeks ago. Instead of getting a mid sized SUV that I paid for, they ended up giving me a Chevy Malibu. I took it because I didn’t want to wait any longer. Budget/Avis person waa super rude to me & dismissive of my questions. Very disappointed.

The reservation was for 7pm drop off but the office was closed. There were no instructions and it took forever to reach a customer service agent over the phone. In the end I had to leave the car 7pm on saturday and assume liability for it being parked there unattended until they opened again on Monday. Would never rent from Hertz again. They blamed Kayak for not making me aware.

Terrible. Was charged smoking fee and I dont even smoke. The car was disgusting when I picked it up but they only had one full size option and there were long lines to get it changed - so I kept it because we were in a hurry. We had the car one day, i do not smoke, but charged a significant smoking fee. Working on it with hertz but its the last time i am renting from them.

The first car I was given had a problem, likely the belt, that was very noisy. We had it replaced, and we were given one that did not feel very stable at highway speed. Also, the lady at first pick up was a bit of a bully

I never got the car. I was unaware that I needed a credit card to pick up though I was able to book with a debit card. They told me I was not able to cancel and that my money was not on their hands and that that was the end of it.

Terrible. They basically took my money and made me pay $120 in uber fees there and back because they weren’t accepting my form of payment which was from my bank account . I’ve used that card as credit and they wouldn’t even try to run it even though I know it would’ve went through as it has before at other places when I have to run it as credit. My bank even said they should’ve ran it and it would’ve been fine.

Long line at pick up with only one agent available to assist customers. A second was back from lunch break but the process was slow. Waited in line for an hour before getting a dirty car, though clean on the inside. Drop off was a much better experience.
