Car upgrade

Cons:

Car was filthy. Poorly cleaned. I went shopping and opened the trunk to put my stuff to find two huge black bags taking up the trunk. Needless to say i was extremely disappointed and frustrated because i now had to stuff everything inside the car even though i had passengers including a child. It was very stressful. I needed the car for one day and it was totally ruined for me.

Pros:

First the staff told me they would pick me up from the location I was at and then later told me they are not doing that anymore. No one ever told me that the location I instructed to drop off the location was closed. So I had to drive over 100km to drop off the car. The rental company put some other location in the drop off location.

Cons:

It would be nice if this location would not jerk their customers around.

Pros:

We received an upgrade don't know why? The vehicle was more what we needed and the price was same as the smaller car. The person we dealt with was polite, explained the rental to us, and return policy if closed. We were pleased with the performance of the vehicle. Rented enterperise in the past and also had good service.

Your address on the web site is very misleading. The office is not on S. Service Rd. W. It is in fact on Wyecroft Road. It was difficult to find. I'm only a visitor.

Excellent service. The staff was very professional and helpful. Upon returning the car, I was pleasantly surprised. The lady that assisted me was very friendly, helpful and worked quickly. It was a seamless and simple process. I could not have been happier with my experience with Enterprise!
