Pros:
The pick up and drop off was easy, didn’t take too long. The shuttle service at LAX was prompt and attentive. As were the car attendants at drop off. Gas mileage was amazing.Cons:
The car itself wasn’t great. It was also the only car left in the fleet and the representative told me the person after me wouldn’t get a car. That wasn’t good news at all. Several small dents, type wasn’t that exciting. I would definitely would have paid more for a better car make and model.Enterprise Rent-A-Car

Pros:
Pickup in Fresno was good. Drove car to Monterey and on my way back my tire showed low and my service guy said stem was broken and not to drive and to take it to Enterprise in Monterey. I believe the ladies name was Tina. She was no help, said she had no cars and it was not her problem because I did not rent the car in Monterey. I could call the airport or take to their shop but would have to wait a day. She tried to dismiss me, but After much discussion SHE reluctantly, after making other calls, called the airport and claimed they only had a 15 passenger. After more discussion she finally called their shop and they said to come over and they would fix. They were very nice and I was out of there in 30 minutes. All of this could have been avoided if she had done that in the first place. She was matter of fact and dismissive with no customer service.I arrived in Fresno in time to return car. They were very nice.10,0 Wonderful
