Pros:
It was a bit busy, but staff worked fast to try and get everyone out. So customer service was okay. I liked that they were working to serve everyone.Cons:
Cars need to be cleaned between customers. If I did not need the car for only a few hours and I didn't already spend 45 minutes checking the car out, I would not have accepted that car. "Enhanced cleaning" had a lot of dead bugs all over the front of the car and dirt and rocks in the truck bed. Like lots of dirt and rocks. Enterprise does not care for repeat customers.4,4 Mediocre
Jun 2020
Cons:
The cleanliness of the car was disgusting!!! I had to be given another car which was much better than the first car. The return of the car was ridiculous as there were no place to return it other than on the streets. I would never recommend this place to anyone. The only thing that was right was the assistant manager Ryan K. he was kind and really did a good job in making me the customer satisfied. His customer service and his alone was excellent!! He needs a bonus, you should hire more people like him who are willing to keep customers happy.2,0 Poor

Cons:
We could have been better informed about the hours. Everything we received said that the location was open until 5 PM. When we got there at 4:30 we learned through a sign on the door that they closed at 4. Lost our money on buying the insurance and had to spend twice as much to get another car that we could pick up at the airport.10,0 Wonderful

Nothing could've been better. I got a 2019 Nissan Sentra for $30 a day. The car was super clean, only had to fill it once (right before drop off), and the rental process was quick. Thank you Enterprise and thank you Kayak!Hertz

Nov 2017
Pros:
Car was nice and clean, staff was extremely friendly and helpful.Cons:
I wasn't able to park my car at the rental location because their lot was too small. I had to end up having my bf help drive my car back to his house while I drove the rental there to go pick him up for our drive together in the rental car. A bit inconvenient, but I understand the situation. Wish it would have been made clear before I showed up so I wouldn't have been so inconvenienced. I also ended up getting a Lyft ride for my ride back home after I dropped off the rental car. More money out of my pocket :-(Budget

They didn't have the car I reserved - gave me a pick-up truck which was fun. But I questioned if it would be more expensive re gas. She said it would be comparable. It was not- it was very expensive for gas. I plan to complain to Budget directly.10,0 Wonderful

I could not book online with the AARP discount so finally called. It cost me $10 extra. They didn't have a car at the appointment time so the counter guy called me 45 minutes later and said he had a car. Turns out he gave me an ugrade so I wouldn't have to wait any longer. He was great.Cons:
