The staff at the Enterprise location in Camp Hill were very friendly and professional. The van was ready when I arrived, the rental agent was very thorough in his walk around during the checkout process. The check in was fast and efficient. I would definitely rent from them again when the need arises.

Cons:

The cancelation could have been much easier. I will not rent online again. There were too many fingers in the reservation which in turn made the return way more complicated than it should've been.

The car which was a Dodge Charger GT, Was clean, except for the windows , I cleaned the outside, But all the interior glass was dirty.... I mean VERY dirty.. Possibly the previous renter was a smoker,, Or it was a product of Vinyl, oxydation from the Black vinyl, and cloth interior. The car was VERY fast accellarating, Had Great brakes, and delivered decent fuel mileage. NO OWNERS MANUEL ??? Finding operating procedures, and control functions, was a problem.. Tom

The location your site said is open on Saturdays and it is not. I was charged 3 extra days by the Hertz in Mechanicsburg because I returned the car late because I had a Saturday to Saturday reservation
