Ok I was under the impression that you guys will pick u up. I couldn't get a company to pick me. Up yet several of them said that they could pick you up with car and then I could cancel the $100 deposit with that company is the only one to charge me a deposit or money down before your even pick it up. I don't have a car and I have to move soon very. So was going to rent a car. Mov to a bigger town temporarily until moving back out west.. so no I'm not happy with enterprise n I will not rent anything from you.

Where do I even begin,first of all whoever is answering the phone there needs to be fired he lied to me numerous times!! We got there to pick up our car at 10 am no one there waited half an hour call the number posted this guy said the person would be there in 15 minutes, half an hour later called again ,again he told me they would be right up no show, waited another half an hour no one. Finally call Avid to complain and a lady showed up who told me she doesn't work there but they call her on emergencies finally got the car after waiting almost two hours behind our schedule and almost lost our hotel room in Canada but the clerk said he would wait for us because of our problem . Do not know this person's name because I hardly understood him .I really don't think we will use or recommend this agency again!!
