Bait and switch. Told Van was unavailable and under contract but could see it on the Lot. They did not have trucks available or a large capacity SUV either. Waste of time renting from them and driving.

Pros:

The rental was moved to the Crofton Enterprise office. They provided an exceptional service to my family and I. And, I might add, it’s nit the first time we have received great service at the Crofton office.

Pros:

The staff at Enterprise were professional. They were hesitant but did discount our rental after bringing up the issues we had with the vehicle.

Cons:

The minivan smelled like someone smoked marijuana in it before we rented it, so it wasn't properly screened or cleaned. The 12 volt charging ports in the vehicle also didn't work. The slow charging usb ports were the only power sources for charging phones.

Pros:

I like the fact that Enterprise called me half way there and not when I was already there to cancel my reservation.

Cons:

I needed a car and the only one that showed that had one was an Enterprise 30 min away. So I got a taxi to take me to that city. Half way there I received a phone call from Enterprise telling me that they did jot have cars and were sorry. i had to ask the taxi driver to stop and change plans.

I was charged a $300 deposit my bank locked my account because he changed the prices 2 times so they thought it was fraudulent. On top of it the man was not friendly at all had an attitude and wasn’t helpful. After I accepted the charges after my bank locked my account he told me I couldn’t use my bank card until 24 hours.
