They did have the auto that I requested available. I settled for a minivan. The van was mostly clean but not up to the standard I usually expected from Enterprise. I did not like that the gentleman cleaning the car did not wear a mask.10,0 Wonderful

Pros:
Pickup took an hour. We waited in line and gave all the same info we gave online to the counter all over again. Then we waited outside for 30 minutes for the car that we had reserved well in advance to be cleaned. The car was not clean inside or outside. We were in line before another party and we saw them get the car first. Was not the person outside's fault.Cons:
Cleaner car, shorter wait times, prepared counter staff8,4 Very Good

Pros:
Drop off in Myrtle Beach was much better than pickup (Orlando); Employees at Myrtle Beach airport were very nice, friendly and professional; overall, the return process was excellent.Cons:
It is a small airport so smaller operations; Indications for returns are clearly indicated to get there but once on parking lot, they have only 2 parking spots dedicated to returns, took me a few minutes to actually find the correct spots and employees in chargeAutoEurope
