Cons:
They gave away our car. We got a deal through Kayak. I guess they did not want to honor the deal so they rented our car to someone else for twice the price. As a result I would never use Enterprise car rental or Kayak again!6,0 Okay
Jan 2021
Pros:
Several employees at counter carried in personal conversations using curse words (unprofessional). First car had a flat tire, second car did not have full tank of gas. Enterprise off airport where I was suppose to pick up car had already closed so got car at airport. Was never informed the rate would be 300 plus dollars more per month.Cons:
With regards to reservation, should have been j formed I could turn car in next day and pick up original car offsite which was substantially lower in cost.10,0 Wonderful

Pros:

Sep 2020
Cons:
Enterprise switched the pickup location due to location construction but failed to notify me. I reserved a drop off location (anchorage airport) different than the pickup location but the lady at the pickup location then tried to charge me extra (over and above my reservation amount) to drop off at the airport which was shown on my reservation.. I ignored her "upcharge threats" and dropped off per my reservation details anyway. I will not rent from Enterprise in Anchorage again, it was not a pleasant experienceAvis

Jan 2020
Pros:
A great rental in every way, save one. (Mandated insurance, see below)Cons:
If you cannot prove personal collision coverage, they mandated at least their minimal insurance package. Did not see anything about this when making the reservation. In looking at the fine print, this insurance provides a MAX of $1000 coverage for a cost of $30/day. It just seemed excessive in my opinion.8,0 Very Good

Cons:
There is a huge disconnect between the website used to rent the car and local store policies. Nowhere on my confirmation did it state that I needed to present proof of insurance at the time of pickup. The local store required proof of insurance including my declarations, forcing me to buy insurance!8,8 Very Good
