Woman who "helped" was rude, store was filthy. Woman tried to get rid of us multiple times cause we had questions about the car that had been set aside for us. Car was more of a compact than a mid size! Multiple times she tried to get us to leave and go pick up from another location. Had "issues" with my card, even though it showed green. Said her system was denying us. So we went to enterprise. In. Out. No issues. Didn't even take 30 minutes. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.

You guys need to get your stuff together and let people know that you have to pass a background check before renting a car. We are a company that needed a rental car to get an individual with disabilities to his Thanksgiving dinner with his family and Hertz would not let us rent a car, because his staff had to pass a background check. Thanks a lot Hertz for not letting someone with disabilities see his family. You guys are top notch! I'm sure each of you saw your family during the holidays. I will be sure and write a review on your guys page also, letting everyone know the quality of service you guys provide.

It was such a good experience. I got to my pick up location, signed in with the agent, and was out of the lot with my rental car in less than 20 minutes! I also got a free upgrade to the car that I drive daily, so that was an extra perk. My travel plans changed, and the Enterprise team was able to accommodate my new plans within minutes! I will be using this company in the future!

Nothing they did not even have a vehicle for me when I got there. Offered no solution and never even called. Unprofessional and Hotwire end result I had to pay out of pocket extra and go to Avis. Neither enterprise or Hotwire have offered any agreeable satisfaction or offered to pay the difference. Poor professionalism
