Friendly, fast, efficient pick up & drop off. I love that Enterprise has locations in smaller towns as well as the airport or bigger cities. I drove myself to the airport for the same or less as a taxi or shuttle.

I made a reservation. They called to cancel it and said they didn't know why the computer allowed me to make a reservation. Sounds like an internal problem that a customer does not need to know about. Will avoid Hertz. They also tend to have people arrested because Hertz's computer system tells them a car is stolen when it's been returned and paid for. Bad business Hertz. You should do better.

We arrived early for our scheduled rental and no one was there. Had to deal with rental issues every day for the whole vacation. Vile customer service. Never use this company

I booked through Expedia and wasn't able to put in our AAA membership and a request for second driver without upcharge. Pickup in Jacksonville was fine. Drop off in Ft. Lauderdale was a little trickier, but seamless.

There are NO signs in the JAX airport for a rental car agency called "Easirent". The number listed to call is an out of service Verizon number.

Terrible experience. I liked the original price but I did a one way rental where there was no way to maintain that price (they claimed there was a mileage charge even though my reservation said unlimited miles). They also didn’t have my car. I ended up having to book another one last minute which meant cost significantly higher than original booking and I wasted prob 35 mins because Easirent in a different spot sorting it out and then reaching out to Expedia to get the original refunded. Miserable experience. You should remove them from your platform.

The up-sale drove the price to double what was advertised. Further, the check out was terrible and lengthy. Poor customer service at check out. And, I still haven't received a receipt. At first, they had my email incorrectly entered. We called to correct and yet, we still haven't received a receipt. I need the receipt for travel reimbursement. I am so disappointed and will not be using Easirent again. Caution to newcomers about the up-sale.
