My reserved car was not available at the airport. I was sent to a satellite office that was closed for business in October. I had to go to a second satellite office. My R car only had a quarter of a tank of gas. I ended up paying close to $45 for taxi cab rides. Worst experience I’ve ever had renting a car. I think they should reimburse me for both the car and all of the taxi expenses.

It was find except for the fact there wasn’t enough windshield wiper fluid; the low indicator light came on on day one. Also, the blades were long overdue for a change. The streaks made it hard to see at times. The lady who checked me in was super helpful and the drop off was convenient.

When I went to go pick up the seven seat van they didn’t have it. All they could offer me is a six seat Jeep. As I was driving it, I noticed how dirty it was. There was white sticky in the center console. I got about two miles away and the windshield wiper fluid light came on. I filled it up and the next day on the road the light came on again. It also would only spray out the passenger side. The man helping me at Enterprise was nice and did his best to help me when I picked up the car but it was a pretty bum deal overall.

I reserved a seven seater SUV and got a van. Van had many issues and wouldn’t start in the mornings, so returned it for a new one and got attitude from the budget representative. Eventually was given a replacement van and had no issues after that.
