John and Kim at the Lafayette Indiana Hertz location were absolutely beyond amazing. They were so kind, patient, and extremely helpful. I will be sure to go with Hertz every time that I rent a vehicle from now on. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Car was very clean. Staff at the pickup location was great. Drop off at airport a bit confusing and not particularly friendly.

The staff was helpful when we picked up the rental van. The van wasn't super clean but wasn't bad. the van also had some electrical issues - the dash said a door was open that wasn't and it also said the tire pressure was low and it wasn't.

We rented the van for one twenty-four hour period and prepaid for it through Kayak. Over that twenty-four hour period, our credit card got charged over $700. The charges all went away and things ended up fine and accurate, but seeing those charges on my card was a little unnerving. When I called the facility to ask about it, the gentleman I talked to was polite, respectful, and helpful. He told me to wait a day or two and if the charges were still there, to call him back and he'd get it straightened out.

Nothing

They make it impossible for you to rent a car. Everything is fine if you have a credit card. You can use debit, but they have to do so much extra. My main issue was, even though I had to money to rent the car, I couldn't because I was not a resident of the state in which I was renting the car. Why does that even matter? Then because of legal stuff, another person cannot rent the car for you. I could not even be approved as a driver due to not having a credit card in my name or being an in-state resident. Maybe Enterprise has these rules on their site, but when reserving through a third party site, the FAQs, and rules and regs can be overlooked. The worst part was the customer service. The Enterprise workers continually gave me a series of wrong information with no remorse. I called before I even arrived asking if I could pay with a debit card. You think at that point, she could have told me I had to be an in-state resident. Then another worker said I could just run over to my bank and get a credit card. Was she insane? You cannot get a credit card same day. You have to be approved then the card takes a few days to get to you. I needed the vehicle that day because I was leaving the next morning. Enterprise wasted 3 hours of my day and were not apologetic at all or offered any alternative solution. It all worked out in the end,no thanks to Enterprise. I canceled my reservation (Thank God, Free of Charge, because I would have raised hell otherwise!!) I rented a Uhaul no hassle whatsoever! GET IT TOGETHER, ENTERPRISE!!! In my book, you are the worst!

Due to a long line in the Lafayette office and another customer who changed his preferences for a car at the last minute, the clerk kindly gave us the other customer's original reservation, a Camaro, at no extra charge. He also made it easy to return the car by not requiring it to be returned full of fuel. This was an excellent experience for our First wedding anniversary overnighter.

The credit card charges took one week to appear, making payment confusing.

I reserved a small suv but was given a full size suv. When I asked about a different vehicle, I was told they only had "giant" ones. He also didn't make any offer to make it right.

The guy who helped us was really nice. Very convenient pick up/drop off location.

There was only one guy working, so when we came in the office no one was there. He was in the garage vacuuming a car. Too bad there isn't enough staff to have someone cover the front desk and someone else clean cars.

The drop-off location given at O'Hare was completely wrong, ended up having to drive the wrong way down a one way road to get out of a blocked off car park. Would have been helpful to know it is just the regular airport drop off not the address provided

It would have been great if the place was actually open at the time I reserved my car. I arrived at noon to a car pick up for noon and no one was around. When I called Budget no one was able to assist in any way and I had to find a random way to get to my destination.

there were no cars available, and they called me to cancel my reservation out from under me an hour before pickup. Budget needs to get their act together, this is ridiculous.

I was thrilled to find a one-way rental for under $100. The Elantra was nicer than I expected and so fuel efficient.
