Pros:
I got the Nissan Pathfinder I wanted and it was a good driveCons:
When I dropped the car off, luckily I stayed around for the person to examine. She told me I had not filled up the gas - but actually, I did, to just above 1/2, as the the tank was right at 1/2 when I picked it up. She told me this wasn't correct, but after a few minutes of me telling her I definitely left the car with more gas than I started with, she said it was cool - but if I had just left it, I would have been charged extra for refueling.4,0 Mediocre
Apr 2021
Cons:
Our check engine light came on 3 days into our trip. We called dollar and they said to drop it off at the nearest rental location. No offer to come out to us to swap cars. We asked if a car would be ready when we arrived and they said yes. We arrived in Louisville and the attendant said they didn't have any cars for us. We ended up checking in at the hertz counter. Debby was very helpful and she did find us a car. But the experience overall was not good.6,0 Okay

Pros:
NoneCons:
Our reservation for a speciality van was at noon. We arrived at the location at 12:07 and the location was closed. The sign on the door and the website both said the location was open until 2:00. Avis was very unhelpful, insisting that it was my fault for “missing my appointment.” I told them that there were several steps they could have taken to make the situation a more customer service friendly experience, when the rental office saw they had a specialized reservation at noon, and they closed early, they should have had the courtesy to call us to alert us that our reservation was at closing time. The evening before, I called Avis to confirm the reservation, at that point the agent should have mentioned that the location closes at the time of my reservation. Neither steps were taken. I ended up having to drive to an airport location, and pick up a much smaller car, they didn’t have my specialty van in stock. I now have to pay $400 in shipping to get the remaining items shipped that was intended to go into the van. Avis customer service has been unhelpful, and maintains this is “my fault.” Buyer beware.9,6 Wonderful

Cons:
we were shocked by an extra charge for my wife who never drove the car that almost $150 more than price we were quoted. Your site tries to sell the insurance but never gives the impression that there will be large hidden charges. The car was not carefully washed especially the rear bumper which left dirt on our clothes after we loaded suitcases We will not use Kayak againEnterprise Rent-A-Car

Jun 2021
Pros:
Staff was very friendly and helpful. Drop-off was a breeze.Cons:
A staff person called me a few hours after picking up the car saying they needed to verify the mileage and it may need to come back and swapped for a different car due to a possible need for an oil change. Tried calling back, but they were closed, and didn’t open until 9:00am the next day. The main Enterprise toll free number we tried had hours that started at 7:00am, but we would have been already long gone. When I picked up the car, the staff said to “call us anytime if you need anything” but the branch’s restrictive hours and the toll free number’s lack of 24-hour service prevents this. In the end, the staff person said don’t worry about it, there’s typically a 1500 mile buffer built in. All turned out well, but we were stressed after getting that initial voicemail because there was no way we could go all the way back to swap out a car, nor divert our course to go to a different Enterprise to do it, as we were on strict time constraints.9,6 Wonderful
Sep 2020
Pros:
Staff was very friendly. Great COVID19 precautions in place. Fast service.Cons:
We found some items behind one of the seats in the car when cleaning it out to return it that must have been from previous renters. To be fair we hadn't noticed them the whole time we had the car, and they were in there pretty deep, but a more thorough clean out by enterprise would give me greater peace of mind.9,6 Wonderful

Feb 2017
Cons:
The Greenfield location is not at the airport, nor do they have a shuttle to that location from the airport, but my reservation clearly said it was at the airport. The Enterprise location at the airport was able to get me a car for close to the price I booked, but it still cost a little more plus caused me extra stress. No problems with drop off in Chicago.4,0 Mediocre
