If you are going to have a 24-hour window available in which to pick up the vehicle presented as an option, imagine my surprise when a delayed flight resulted in me showing up to a closed Budget desk at the rental car place. I realize that I said 1am pickup and showed up closer to 2am, but even 2am was an option to select when initially booking. When I called customer service, they said the desk closed at 1:30am, which at no point was ever mentioned or displayed in the booking process. Very disappointing having to come back the next day to pick it up, delaying my plans.

Car rentals always end up costing more than the initial quote. It would be helpful to provide all additional options/charges up front. Having said that the staff at pick-up and return were very friendly; we got an upgrade, and the car was spotlessly clean. Would definitely book again. The clincher was rushing back to the car when I realized I’d lost my wallet when we got to the check-in area at departures….to hear the attendant we’d dropped the car off with saying “hear she is” and returning my wallet (with ID needed for travel) with a smile!

The only thing I did not like was that i was charged an additional $7.00 for an air conditioning fee. This should be included with the base price.Air conditioning comes with the vehicle when the car is manufactured. I then asked for a car without air conditioning; they do not have any such car. Money grab big time (ridiculous). DJ.

There was an extra $138 charged to my Visa. The experience of brining the car back was quite lovely, the clerk was very friendly and nice but she did not say a word about any extra expenses being put on my bill, she simply handed me a triple folded receipt and said have a great holiday season. The next day when I pulled the receipt out of my purse I saw the total charged to my account. Needless to say, I will NOT be using them again.

I had no problem changing cars. The first one that I got had problem with slow leak in one of the tires. Later when I had to extend the rental period due to rescheduled flights (by the airline), I had to call more than 3 times because no-one answered those calls and no agent returned my calls despite leaving a message and my phone number. Once I got through to an agent, I had no problem.

We did not even get a car. I thoroughly read the fine print on the website, that clearly stated that a 'credit or debit card in the renters name must be presented'..no problem! My husband & I have chosen to get rid of our credit cards as we no longer desire living in debt, so as an added step of assurance after booking, I called the number listed on the site. I was very clear that I would be picking the car up in Halifax Nova Scotia, which is obviously in Canada. The booking number I provided also would show that my location was in Canada. The gentleman reassured me multiple times that I would NOT need a credit card to pick up the car. We head to the airport to pick up the car (over $120 is wasted taxi money!!) only to be told that a credit card is required. When I advised the clerk of my conversation with the Enterprise rep on the phone, she simply stated 'oh, that's only ìn the United States'. Absolutely ridiculous that a company as huge as Enterprise cannot figure out how to properly separate the 2 countries on their website. Something as simple as 'Click here for CDN', nevermind the fact that I actually spoke with a paid employee of a continent-wide company who doesn't seem to know basic Geography. Thankfully there are now apps for personal car rentals from people who do not discriminate against those of us who choose to live debt free. If you are going to have different rules for different countries, then make that crystal clear & stop misleading innocent people. If I ever do get a credit card in the future, I certainly won't be using Enterprise to rent a car.

There was an extremely long line of customers waiting to get their cars with only 2 employees working, one of whom was being monitored which slowed her down immensely. The process was made longer due to the questionable requirement of the agent to try to upgrade you to a more expensive car and then to buy extra car insurance. Maybe if you cannot staff adequately you could forgo the extra sales efforts? Or maybe the lady standing there watching could fire up a terminal and get some travelers on their way?

Very accommodating, had no issue at all except at check in, the clerk wanted me to sign the inspection slip of the car without actually going out to inspect the car before leaving.. maybe he was new and that’s ok bc I just advised that we should go look before signing anything..
