Enterprise Rent-A-Car
reviews and complaints

I requested an SUV a week before the rental date and when I picked up car they only had a truck? I exchanged it for a Toyota Rav 4 on 9/1 which made noise on the out side when driven, and had a faint smoking smell. I exchanged it again and all they had was a Nissan Kicks which had no floor mats and a stain in the center of the roof.

On 9/5/23 I have ants in the car rental that almost made me crash.

They were crawling on me after I left the car and went into the gym and then my son had to drive home and they crawled on him making him swat at these ants and almost crash the car. My son is traumatized from this experience and I am disgusted with the lack of good business at Enterprise. There were no choices of cars (with a weeks request), the cars needed maintenance and cleaning and now infestation of ants therefore extermination and therapy.

What happened to this business?

I have been a loyal client with Enterprise for fifty years now. I paid $432.98 for six day rental. I was charged an extra $200 as security (?).

We cancelled our trip on 8/30/23 as my family and 95 year old uncle waited in a failed auto for 3 hours in the HEAT! IN HARMS WAY!

Never has one of your cars failed me until Aug. 30. I was CHARGED $219 in charges.

I rented a vehicle at the branch location at ABQ airport July 25th and returned morning of July 26th. I was greeted by an employee and was assured the vehicle looked great and my experience was great.

Fast forward a few weeks and I receive a vague email that the vehicle I rented above was damaged and to provide insurance details. A few emails later it’s allegedly a cracked windshield that had to be replaced. I have requested evidence at least 4 times now and the damage recovery unit has ignored my requests and are combative in their replies. I have called the branch and asked if there was damage to the vehicle and they said there was no damage or claim that they could find. I am still waiting to hear from the branch manager to confirm.

The damage recovery unit has zero customer service and it seems like it is set up to take advantage of people for insurance fraud. I have wasted my time emailing and calling to get this claim dropped.

I purchased a 2021 compass on 5/22/23.

I have been having issues ,the customer service at the location I purchases the vehicle from gas been very rude no help.

All I want is the quality of service amd a running well vehicle I thought I was getting.

The vehicle is making noise, the start stop system never worked.

I was told by Aaron at the Iselin office to just turn it off.

Anita from the office told me to bring it their which I did but no help.

I then contacted Jason the manager from the Iselin off to be very rude.

Told me to never call that office.

Hello

I am writing because I use a rental car through your company because of an accident repair with Moppert auto. Can you please tell me what the $109 charge is for ? I was told it would be six dollars extra a day which I complained about the day off because I did not want to pay extra I was refused to be compensated for the six dollars and the representative wanted me to go out of my way to go pick up another car that would be smaller and cheaper! (I specifically asked for a car within my insurance ). That would not have been convenient at all since I had an infant with me. The gas tank was filled to the exact point on which I took it. I vacuumed and cleaned the vehicle and returned it cleaner than , how I received it. I ended asked your rep if they could run it through car wash she said no. There were previous stretches and chips that I did not see her Mark down. Also the last time this happened and I was given a car out of range the rep was more than helpful in accommodating me for your mistake.

Please let me know and I would like a copy of a detailed receipt of the charges that were made. I appreciate your help, but I’m very surprised and extremely upset by the amount that was charge on my account.

Sincerely

Patricia Rechner

This is horrid situation and once again Enterprise has no value in their customers. I have been a platinum member with Enterprise rent a car for a reason. I have driven thousands of miles all over the US. I have had instances locally where I have been mistreated with prejudice. I have had to swap out vehicles due to mechanical issues I felt unsafe and then months later accused of damage. I had swapped out a vehicle with expired tags at the nearest location to my traveling work site. The vehicle I was given didn’t allow me access to a military base. The location I rented from was over 200 miles away. The closest site was in Laredo TX. I called several times to ask if they could swap my vehicle out as it had an expired registration and also had warning lights for maintenance. I was told they didn’t have any vehicles s d needed to wait and would give me a call when something was available. Days later I went to that office and asked if I could please get another vehicle so I can get into base to complete my work. I was given a vehicle and drove it to my next site with my assist tech and back to my Airbnb the same day . I work at night and sleep during the day, my Airbnb contact noticed an excessive amount of oil in the driveway. I got up and checked under the truck and noticed a small chunk of which looked like hard putty, later showed my father and said it was jb weld. I immediately had the Airbnb take me to purchase oil to make sure the vehicle had full oil. The enterprise was 7 min away and called to let them know my findings and said the low oil pressure was on and I fill with oil and was told to bring it in to swap out again. The truck drove fine and when I arrived I showed the enterprise rep what I found and the photos of all the oil it leaked onto the Airbnb driveway. The truck was still dripping drops of oil with the enterprise rep beside the truck. He said maybe the plug was not on correctly or something else. I was swapped out and weeks later contacted and said the oil pan was damaged and needed a new motor. Apparently months later now in august 2023 I was sent a bill saying the engine had to be replaced. The vehicle was driven to a local Sames dealership and from a oil pan leak and had no issues when I brought in the truck other than what I found to be someone had previously had damage or plugged with jb weld and or didn’t have the oil plug in properly and after my work trip I woke up to a pool of oil. At most the replacement would have been the oil pan and not the whole engine which drove fine and was never driven without oil. To me it seems a fraud charge and ridiculous for them to make money. I was never shown proof and the old motor or serial number to s new motor. Something is definitely wrong, as I know when we do an inspection no one looks underneath the vehicles because I’ve witnessed this and why I always photograph before pics for my own sake. This is very wrong and I’ve exclaimed the issue to the company and all I got was rude and did not want to hear my whole experience. This is appalling with how a seasoned platinum member is being unfairly treated.

We have hired a car on 24th july (black ford focus) and returned next day 25th july 2023 at 248 Loughborough Rd, Belgrave, Leicester LE4 5LG. I have left my samsung earbuds in it. When i requested for return there is no proper response from service desk and branch team in leicester. Multiple time tries reaching them but there is no answer. Given request physically still havent heard anything. Really disspointed about tge service.

Hello. And The reason I'm reaching out to you is my daughter went to the Roseville Branch to pick up a car for XQN4SG she went through the whole process, scanned her DL, credit card, she has Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, and was put in a car but it was extremely dirty and small, so she said something, was told it would not be able to be cleaned, the only thing they had was luxury but my insurance will only cover $30 a day. She asked for a manager, but Dontae Haley ignored her, she was crying & asked me what to do. She said he's not with customers. Then she approached and politely said, since there's no other vehicle, can you please just take care of me? He said he'll see, and made her wait 20 more minutes, she has a panic attack, and this happens at places when there is a long wait and other people and stress, He came back Tells her she would have to wait until Tuesday and to get a vehicle. She then asked his manager. Donta came back and began questioning her and asked her for her DL again 90 min later after she was processed, knowing of her disability Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, and told her she looks very older than her age and due to that he will not rent at all. She had to way home I was on speaker I heard everything and this is not okay.

After talking to disability that same night I was promised a call from regional also was told someone would bring a luxury vehicle to her & she would not have to go through the process. No one called & I continue to get the run around by exculation and Hopkins

Branch manager promised me that the regional manager would call me this morning and nothing Please call me at [protected]

There are disability laws for a reason & there's no excuse for this. For me to have to email you and I've spent 5 hours on this and I was in an accident, YOUR COMPANY SHOULD have PICKED MY DAUGHTER UP W/ A LUXURY CAR & REIMBURSED HER FOR THE UBURS SHE HAD TO TAKE & Something else for her stress.

So, a drunk driver took out two of our three vehicles in front of our home, so we needed to rent a vehicle for my husband's daily driver to work until we could replace one of the vehicles. We rented the car on 7/11/23 and returned it on 7/26.

We did a walk-through and pointed out multiple dings, scratches, etc. only to be told that they would buff out, so no big deal.

We went to return the car two weeks later, but the person was at lunch, so we dropped the key in the box and came back an hour later to make sure they received the key.

The representative then walked me out to the vehicle and said that there was a crack in the back left bumper. We went and looked and there it was and someone had SUPER GLUED it. Who does that?! We knew that we didn't cause it, but the rep said that maybe someone did it and left. Left, but super glued it? No way. We are super frustrated because in the 15 years of us renting vehicles and not having to take pre-pictures (usually on vacation all over the country) we have NEVER had this issue and now they want to get money from our insurance. We believe this damage was already there and we probably missed it since it's a black car and black bumper.

I have asked now 3 TIMES for the manager of the site to send me the pictures they took before it left the lot, and have received nothing - not even an acknowledgment that they received my messages.

I am not doing anything with this until they send me pictures and have already advised my credit card company NOT to pay ERAC anything besides our initial rental charges at this time.

The more I read about ERAC, the more suspicious I am, especially since there are multiple people all over the nation with these issues and damages claimed that they didn't cause.

I will never use them again and will advise others to go with Hertz or someone else.

On July 6, I was rear ended. I drive a hybrid. Insurance co sent me to Enterprise on 15/501 Durham, NC. $954 for less then a month. The first vehicle clean drank gas, Second vehicle a Corolla Ant Infested, the third vehicle a Nissan Kicks 4 cylinder clean drank gas. I rec'd my car back in under a month. Repairs were not done to the extent that I smelled gas so bad, when I entered my garage that I called the local gas company, found nothing, called the city sewer, found nothing. Went to my car the next morning, still smelled gas, my car wouldn't start, which I believe a safety feature (I Think), and gave this to the insurance company... DISTRAUGHT as I have had my grandchildren in the vehicle with me the day before. I believe we were all in danger and in a very hazardous situation. Insurance tells me that Enterprise would be to my home to pick me up, they showed up on time, nice man from NY. There was a nice tall gentlemen that helped me with all 3 cars the first time. SO... My debit card was hacked a 2 weeks ago, and had it cancelled.

I had not yet rec'd the new one in the mail. I told a guy at the desk at Enterprise this, and immediately he shuts down. Now mind you I had been there 4 days earlier, but nope, no dice, I explained how desperate I was to get into a vehicle, but he started to laugh at me, and my desperation went into rage. I asked him what he was laughing at, and explained that I was not going to take his disgust with me and my circumstances without telling him exactly what kind of clown he was. (granddaughter and car seat in tow), A friend picked me up for home, because they would not allow their driver to take me to Cary to my son's house, my son lent me his vehicle he's in the midst of moving to a new home. Once home, I see the mail lady coming, and approach her to get my mail to see if my new debit card has arrived. Yep it has. I go back to Enterprise, show them the debit card with yellow sticker I forgot to remove. Gave them the reservation number, and this other guy says he's the manager, when I asked, and that there were no cars available until tomorrow maybe. Livid, I said, but I have a reservation number, and he starts to laugh. I do believe these particular individuals are smoking something. I'm on my cellphone, because my granddaughter is now with her mother at urgent care as she turns out has a small case of bronchitis, this her third visit to doctor, and he waited until I got off the phone because he said he would check other locations, and not one single location had a car available. Then some other guy walks over and tells me "HE cancelled my reservation because he said he didn't like my behavior" and told me good luck renting a car anywhere. I let them know I didn't like their behavior at the outset, no consideration... they laughed at me. I will return to see if they are wearing name tags, but I do not believe I saw any so I can write another review with their names.

Rental Agreement [protected]

Date of Loss 4/14/23

Vehicle 2021 RAV4-TOYO

Vehicle was returned on the 15th with no damage observed by Enterprise employee. On 07/24 we received a letter that there was damage on the vehicle, but the letter went into zero detail about what the damage was, the extent, etc.

It is our belief that the damage was caused AFTER the car had been returned.

I have a rental due to my personal vehicle being hit. The insurance company is paying for my rental. Now my vehicle is still not ready and I just got pff the phone with the insurance company and they are extending the rental but enterprise was at my house telling my 85 y/o grandfather that i was going to jail because I still had the car. Mind you the rental was extended til today already and it was not end of business which is when I actually picked the rental up

At 230 no one from enterprise should be coming to my house and threatening anyone when the rented vehicle was paid up til today. I already have a lawyer and will definitely tell him we need to add enterprise in the lawsuit for undue stress on me, my husband, my 85 y/o grandpa and my child. Shame on you all for doing that. It was bad enough that the first time the insurance stopped paying for the rental we weren't notified for 2 weeks after but now the day of I get a threat! I will never do business with enterprise again. Not in my personal or business adventures
