The staff at the Hopkins Enterprise was friendly, kind and very helpful. Wish there had been staff at the Madison Airport Enterprise instead of just a dropbox, but it was very early in the morning.

Process is virtual, it is a booth at the back of the hotel. There can be technical issues. There is a phone number to call but sometimes they do not pick up. Also you need to have active auto insurance, your credit card insurance/etc. is not enough so make sure you bring a copy of that. Felt like that was sprung on me without warning. Car itself was fine and drop off was easy.
