Please check the rental car location hours before booking. I reserved a car for 5pm and my flight got in slightly later than expected and took an Uber to enterprise arriving at 5:10 to find out they closed at 5pm, so I was left stranded without a car and unable to get through to anyone. Kind of ridiculous to let someone reserve a car for the exact time the branch closes. Kayak shouldn’t allow this either

We made a reservation and went to the Enterprise counter at the Atlanta Airport and was told we did not have a reservation and they had no cars available. We had to rent from Avis and paid over $600.00 for 3 days to go to a wedding.

When I arrived, I was told I was at the wrong Enterprise desk...and that the other one was closed. There were NO cars available, at any price (let alone the "bargain" price I had booked) and I had to take a much higher walk-up rate at Avis. Lucky for me I have credit and Avis had a car! Enterprise USED TO BE a reliable vendor, but I hear nothing good about them anymore.

Poor|Oct 2022

Made a reservation a few days in advance with email confirmation of the reservation only to be told on the day of that they “have over 30 reservations but only one car available”. Glad we were able to go through Turo or we would’ve had to cancel our road trip, and the plans we already paid for would have been a waste of money. Really doesn’t make sense to keep letting people book online if they know they have a car shortage

The representative at the front desk (inside office) was very courteous and upgraded my car because there were none available at one of the pick up areas. Other than that I can’t think of anything.

My first car was barely clean on the outside, wheel was shaking at 60+ mph, returned car and was charged a full tank of gas when the I barely used 1/4 of a tank. Service was mediocre at best. Never renting from this company again! Manager did not include in the notes why I returned car.

They are dishonest and do not even tell you the whole truth when renting the car. The girl told me $20 for unlimited gas but never specify that it was $20 per day. They do not tell you how much gas cost to fill up and will send an email receipt instead of telling you the cost up front and deposits.

I had a reservation for a minivan for my family of six. When I arrived at the counter, the first thing the assistant told me was “we don’t have any cars for three hours.” They did not ask for any of my details, they just said there were no cars for anyone and there was nothing they could do about it. Very unhelpful and borderline rude. After about an hour of searching for other options online, I went back to the desk and asked them to confirm the wait. The same assistant told me “well we have minivans.” When I told them that was what I reserved, she said “well you should have told me that when you checked in.” Very disappointing experience.

Desk assistant loaded the rental with obscure insurance charges - Personal Accident Insurance, Personal Effects Insurance and RSN (which I have never heard of) without asking us whether we wanted it and without telling us that he fad marked them as if we had accepted them. Unfortunately we were so jet lagged and my wife (who signed) was suffering extreme pain due to Lymphoedema did not realise. The desk assistant had an impenetrable accent and whispered so we had extreme difficulty understanding him. We only realised that all these extras had been added when we received the bill at the end of the rental which is 50% higher than the amount that we prepaid. My wife is registered Avis Preferred but this was ignored and we were assigned the crappiest vehicle that there ever was which had not been cleaned and the carpet on the drivers side had a hole in it through to the metal. The car had numerous dents and scratches. My recommendation would be to read the reviews for other car rental companies and take your business to a company other than Avis.

Since there was 6 of us with suitcases, we rented a Suburban and when we went to pick it up, there was none available. When I gave her my name, she kept looking at the sheet that was in front of her. I asked if there was a problem and she said, yes, we do not have a Suburban available. She excused herself and went to call someone. She came back to let us know that there was a mini van available. So, we had to rent that or would not be able to get to our final destination. We had to put suitcases under our feet and drive like that for a little over 5 hours due to the size difference of the mini van compared to the Suburban. The attendant was very nice and was as helpful as she could be with the lack of inventory. Very disappointed and would not rent from Avis again.
