9.2 ExcellentSep 1 2020
Pros: Very friendly and competent staff at both pickup and drop off. Helpful under difficult circumstances.Cons: Initially we were told that no car was available despite our reservation, making me panic. Issue was resolved though.
4.0 OkayJun 19 2020
Cons: The original car smelled of smoke. I asked to change the date of the rental and if that would also change my rental price. I was told no, but later they charged me more and unfortunately there was no way to dispute it since it was my word against theirs.

Pros: Great customer service, speedy check-out process, received a clean and gas efficient car...I have no complaints!
9.2 ExcellentSep 4 2016
Cons: All insurances are bought, why young driver charge is still needed?
2.0 MediocreAug 23 2016
Cons: First they didn't lift a finger to help my wife with a minor mistake she made on our original reservation (snippy, essentially "It's your mistake so it's your problem"). Okay, I made a second reservation to correct the problem with the first (simply wanted an earlier pickup time), I arrived to find they had NO CAR AT ALL. "We're sold out." A car came in early as I was speaking to them. They refused to rent it to me even though I HAD A RESERVATION. Thanks for nothing! Horrible, frustrating, expensive (ended up renting from Avis at the airport) experience. I recommend that you stay away from Enterprise in Ithaca.
10.0 ExcellentJul 14 2016
Great ServicePros: The staff was friendly and courteous. They greeted us promptly and assisted us in our reservation. They didn't have anymore cars so they have us a free upgrade. They dropped us off at the airport.Cons: They were able to drop us off at the airport, however they were not able to pick us up from there because they had an enterprise in the airport. Also after realizing that, they would allow us to transfer the reservation without paying extra, so we had to take a 17.00 cab to the other enterprise.

Pros: Read aboveCons: Read above
5.2 OkayMar 11 2018
Cons: The very tight grace period of 30 mins if you are late to drop off the car, will be a reason why I would make sure not to rent a car from them anymore!!!!
7.6 GoodDec 29 2017
Decent but somewhat unsafe carPros: They helped us change drop off locationsCons: The windshield washer was either Frozen or broken but we couldn't clean the windshield driving on dirty winter streets which left us feeling a bit inconvenienced and unsafe.
8.0 ExcellentNov 25 2017
Generally positive, but deceptive customer servicePros: Everything went smoothly with the rental itself. Although I have not yet seen the final charges on my credit card statement, so cannot comment on that as yet.Cons: While checking out the car the customer representative asked me to choose among certain rental options in a way that made it appear as if the stated choices were obligatory. For instance, he indicated that when I returned the car I could choose between two options for refueling (both of which incur extra fees). There are, in fact, three options for refueling, the third being refueling the car oneself (in this case the cheapest option). We went back and forth for several minutes discussing the two former refueling options before I saw a sign indicating that I could, in fact, refuel the car myself. Had I not seen this sign I would have been unwittingly led into spending additional money. In a similar vein, I was asked if I would like a particular model of vehicle. I realized that I was, again, being unwittingly guided into spending more money on an upgrade rather than a choice among equally priced cars. My recommendation is that it should be fine to rent a vehicle from the Ithaca Airport Hertz office so long as one comes prepared to avoid the verbal traps that are set; carefully laid traps which are intended to make one unwittingly cough up additional money.

7.2 GoodJun 30 2019
Pros: the lady at the court when I dropped off was unbelievably rude! Very disappointing.
10.0 ExcellentJun 3 2019
Pros: Very small airport, so there was only one desk and the line was short!Cons: The rental car parking area is not covered, which is not great if it is raining and you are lugging your suitcases through puddles to get to the car.
10.0 ExcellentJan 3 2019
Pros: This was my first time ever renting a car, so I was a little nervous, but Avis was such a great company to go with! The whole process was very easy, I spent no more than 10 minutes picking up my car and even less time dropping it off in the city I traveled to. Thanks Avis!Cons: The only issue I had was that my credit card expiration date was entered incorrectly, and I had to call to correct this issue the following week. It took about 20 minutes over the phone to get it resolved but everything else went great!
4.0 OkayDec 27 2018
Pros: it was fineCons: i had to get a car by 5 pm 12/24, because they were closed after that and the following day. Since i had to pick up earlier than i wanted to, my time was diminished with family for the holiday.
