Pros:

Nothing- enterprise was a nightmare. I had to end up canceling and going to Hertz next day and they were amazing

Cons:

They did not have the car in stock that I reserved so they sent me to another location the second location also did not have the car in stock but the person offered to give me a pick up truck for an additional 150 more. I did not want a pick up truck and the agent got nasty with me and told me that he wasn’t a part of the other location.They did not have the car in stock that I reserved so they sent me to another location the second location also did not have the car in stock but the person offered to give me a pick up truck for an additional 150 more.

Intermediate SUV

They had 5 cars for 20 people. They had no car to give me and suggested I either sit, wait and hope one comes back, or go to the airport and later found out I needed to pay $200 in deposits. They ALSO didn’t have the vehicle.

Pickup time was Sunday at 12 noon. Arrived 12:02. Guy said we closed at 12 and wouldn’t give me rental. Customer service sent me to another location guaranteeing vehicle. Drove to this location to find no rental to meet 7 passengers. Drive to inconvenient third Budget location and had to pay more. Needless to say, extremely late to destination because lazy worker at first location would not give me the keys. He was very rude as well. Pathetic customer service. I will never rent from Budget/Avis again.

Morning staff was terrible. The lady for the afternoon was very nice but the guy that was there in the early morning was not good. He mumbled, acted like I had inconvenienced him. I will not go back to that location.

Passenger van

KAYAK
Budget called me at 10:30am (1.5 hrs before pick up) and let me know they didn’t think they’d have the kind of van I needed, that I reserved. I had to call 2 more times for updates , they didn’t call me. And I gave up. I never received a cancellation or a call to let me know they weren’t able to provide my reservation.
