The young man who checked out our car was very nice. He upgraded us to a larger SUV which was very helpful. We had to return our car very early to catch our flight. I expected an email confirming our return but never received one. I finally called a week later and was told it was because of short staffing. Overall it was a very good experience.

I was given the very last car on the lot--a little Mitsubishi economy car. I was hoping for something a little bigger for a long drive ahead of me. But the agents were very personable and professional.

Overall my experience with Enterprise was a positive one. However, the car I received in Albuquerque failed to start on the 3rd morning of my trip. This necessitated a five mile walk in a light rain, and a 20$ charge to local mechanic to jump start the car. The battery terminals showed heavy corrosion. The reason for a failed start. I drove directly to Kingman, AZ and called Enterprise Albuquerque. Charlie, at your 3500 Coors NW location was immediately apologetic. Meanwhile the car failed once more. Charlie was able to get me in touch with your customer services who, in time, had a tow service restart my car. She also was able to direct me to a nearby Enterprise center. Needless to say, I was stressed by the time I pulled into the Enterprise lot. I had already lost a day and fearful of losing another. However that stress quickly evaporated because of the kindness and professionalism of Aimee Pelzer at your 3410 Stockton Hill Rd location. She will always be to me a miracle worker. It is because of Enterprise personnel like Aimee that I will continue to use and recommend Enterprise. The Nissan Sentra that I used thereafter was a flawless ride and a delight. Kudos to Kayak and Enterprise

I reserved a compact car and was given a 7 seat Voyager van as the only option at the cost in gas milage of probably 10 miles per gallon. With the driving I did, this added significantly to my trip cost. I tried to trade it out in 2 other cities and was told that there were no cars available

Pick up/drop off was fine. The problem was being upcharged for a car that was in no way an improvement. All basic features/nothing special in the car. The sales procedure for trying to upcharge customers at pickup is not welcoming. Just give them a good vehicle at the price they reserved.

The office being outside of the airport reduced the cost, and the cab fare was not too expensive to get there. Pick up and drop off were both extremely easy! The car could have been washed better. We had to get some windex wipes to clean the inside of the windshield since it was very smeared and the outside mirrors were also needing to be cleaned to be able to use them.

This location is a train wreck. Terrible customer service. The Avis agent was watching a football game on his phone, paying more attention to that rather than getting our rental app verified. NEVER AGAIN WITH AVIS AND LIKELY NOT EVEN KAYAK.

They charged me over $200 for gas, when I returned the car fully fueled. In corresponding with them they said they would refund some of the money. I haven't seen a cent!

Car was clean and drop off easy.

They push the fuel option without explaining that you are charged for a full tank of gas regardless of what's in the car when you return, plus it appear that you are then charged taxes on this. Yes, the details are in the contract, but they carefully avoid explaining it. Never do that again. Also, they are less than candid about the insurance option, which probably leads most people to accept the "basic" plan not realizing that it adds dramatically to the cost. I believe that they do these things intentionally and many people end up paying much more than they anticipated. I probably won't use this company again.

Loved the staff in the morning when we ultimately picked up our car!

When we arrived approximately 3 minutes before closing time, with a reservation, the desk was closed. We were forced to hire an Uber that night and again in the morning to return and get our car. Two other parties also arrived when we did.

The pick-up was horrible due to the hour and 18-minute wait. Other than that, the agent was competent & helpful, the car was fine, and the drop-off was as well.

The pick-up was horrible. One person at the desk with a dozen customers on line. (It's not as if Advantage didn't know how many reservations they had that afternoon.) I waited an hour and 18 minutes (I timed it) to be served. No more Advantage for me.

I got a Ford EcoSport small SUV which was good for traveling into areas where paved driveways don't exist. The car was clean, good value, and check-out was fast. When we arrived there were two staff in the check-in area. One was helping a customer, and the other was just there. Not doing anything. I can understand if only one was really working and the other might have been keeping the other company, but at least acknowledge us with a simple "Hello, Welcome, or Be right with you."
