I was looking for a 4WD SUV to go to the snow. I haven't seen a filter for 4WD, so I called Enterprise directly and they were super helpful. I went in and they got me in and out very fast and the SUV was fantastic. Thanks!

Usual enterprise balogna at this location First car had no air in tires. Place they take it Was closed so I could wait an hour for them to open or just for 10.00 more per day they can give me a better car. Not sure why if it’s their fault they would charge me. So I got the better car. Brought it up and it was not clean (at 8am) in the morning. Had to wait for them to run it in car wash. They apologized and said bring car back with no gas. I thought that was nice of them until I saw this 24 gallon tank with less than 3 gallons of gas Not only did it cost me 100 to fill but in way home how do you chance running out of gas from a long trip and have to stop late at night in an area that is not safe so I brought it back with a half tank which I lost another 50 bucks. If you renting a car why can t the gas be full when you pick it up

They told me they were open on Monday, Memorial Day, when they were not. I was left unable to leave the car and had to drop it off elsewhere. The customer service more or less accused me of lying to them. They’re a horrendous, awful company and I’ll never rent from them again.

Pros:

They had no cars available when I arrived, they wouldn't call any other branch to see what was available. Your app would not allowed to cancel the reservation so I couldn't look for another rental company. I had to call around and end up paying double of what I wanted. Horrible experience!

Pros:

Drop-off was easy and super low-key. No hassle pick-up. Car was in good condition. Reasonable price.

Cons:

Drop-off was intended for Labor Day (Sept 2) but the location (and every other location) was closed. I wasn't aware that I'd be unable to return the vehicle, and have yet to find out if Budget is going to charge us for the extra day despite no heads-up and no alternative drop-off options.

I booked the car, they called and said hey we don’t have the car, call customer service. Called them, they put me on hold and then eventually said they’ll transfer me to somebody to help me but it want back to the beginning of the call with the automated person.

Cons:

I called Friday afternoon and reserved a mini van for a 24 hour rental and scheduled a noon pick up on Saturday. I received a call at 10 am on Saturday morning from Budget saying they did not have my vehicle. I called customer service, and they found a rental 1/2 hour away in the opposite direction. After negotiating with C.R., they agreed to give me the van for the same price. But, it was too late to find a ride to pick it up. I was very upset.

Cons:

Reserved a car but was notified the day of my rental that there were no cars available. A rep apparently called to let me know AFTER my reservation time had passed but didn't leave a message. Fortunately, I called to make sure my car would be ready, at which point the rep just told me that they didn't have any cars and to call about store and provided no additional assistance. I spent an hour on the phone ensuring that the guaranteed price would be honored at another location and had to speak to 3 different customer service reps (some of whom were rude) and had to cover the cost of travel to another rental location at the last minute.
