My experience with Enterprise at Zurich Switzerland Airport is certainly alarming and reflects a broader trend of dissatisfaction among customers. Many have reported similar issues, particularly regarding unexpected damage charges and a lack of effective customer service. Complaints often mention difficulties in reaching support and resolving disputes, which seem to be a recurring theme for this company in Europe.
The charge of CHF 1703.01 (around $2150) for damage I didn't cause, and that could happen during my stay in downtown Zurich parking lot for a few hours when someone run into my rental car and I did not notice till I returned the car back to Zurich airport. combined with the inability to communicate with Enterprise, it is understandably frustrating. It's concerning that I even attempted to pay for the damage out of pocket but couldn't find a way to contact them. This lack of support can leave customers feeling helpless and ignored.
If you're looking for alternatives in the future, consider other rental companies that have better reputations for customer service and transparency and functioning customer service phone number and claim department or any working website. My warning might be valuable for others who might be considering renting from Enterprise in Zurich. It's always best to choose a company that prioritizes customer care and communication.
