Enterprise will NOT pick you up NOR help you get to their location. The airport location and the US 1 location have “different” systems and cannot help each other with rentals or transportation back and forth. The car was dirty.

The car was not ready in Melbourne. I called an hour before I arrived to make sure the car was ready, so our friends did not have to wait for us. Once we got to the car lot we wait an hour for the car to be cleaned. We were on VACATION not watching a car get cleaned lesson.

The only issues I have is with the office closing at 5pm, it should be changed to 6pm. This should give some of your customers flying into Melbourne Airport extra time to collect their hired car

Surprised at end of pick-up process by he question, "Are traveling out of state?" This was the first indication that the rental was "Florida only," which did not meet my expected requirements.

The check-in was smooth and quick. Had no hassles about supplemental insurance. Be sure to use your credit card for the rental. Mine has secondary car rental insurance. Mostly pleased with the Nissan Altima. Had two small dents that were noted but there were other scratches and one dent that was not highlighted. We took pictures of the scratches and the dent. Drop-off was quick and easy.

No obvious complaints. Price was more than I wanted to pay but competitive with other rental companies. Had a few extra expenses that blindsided me but cannot do anything about that. Final price was higher than expected by about fifty dollars.

The staff was friendly and worked with what they had, as it was not their fault personally.

No one answers the phone - I tried calling multiple times for it to go to a voicemail. When I arrived initially to pick up my rental car I was informed there was only one vehicle available and it was a massive SUV (I called the day before the rental to confirm a smaller vehicle would be available and was told yes and I was all good to go). The woman then informed me there was multiple additional charges being added to the rental agreement. I also had an issue with the vehicle during my rental period and could not get a hold of anyone at the rental company, so I went to the location and saw the employees are just sitting there IGNORING the phone ringing on purpose.

April was great and able to answer my questions about possible extending my rental. She even gave me her direct line if I needed to call.

The airport (MLB, Melbourne, Florida) doesn't have the best layout regarding where the rental cars are. Not Dollars fault though!

Avis did not have the reserved and confirmed 15-passenger van we reserved to transport guests from wedding ceremony to wedding reception that we had reserved one-month in advance and confirmed the reservation 1 week ahead of the wedding. When we went to pick it up at the designated time (the morning of the wedding) they said they didn't have it (sorry). PLEASE DO NOT USE AVIS IF IT IS FOR ANYTHING IMPORTANT LIKE A WEDDING.

Counter person refused to honor contract. First tried to say they had no cars after I had made the reservation more than three months earlier. They had plenty of time to insure a vehicle was available. Then they wanted to downsize me without a discount. I picked the size I wanted for a reason. Downsizing was not an option. Poorly run hub location. Will not use Avis again. Poor choice to start with. I’ll go back to Hertz or Enterprise. At least they are reliable if not a bit more.
