2.0 Poor
May 2021
Pros:
Helpful staff at the pickup, though the other customers in the office weren’t wearing masks. It was uncomfortable.Cons:
I received a car I didn’t want or plan for, a minivan, which I don’t feel comfortable driving. I paid for a premium sedan and I received the furthest thing from it. The car was filthy when I went to load my luggage. The carpet was covered with grass and dirt. And the out-of-date aux/phone connectivity was hard to use and poor quality, making navigation stressful and my music unenjoyable.2.0 Poor
Apr 2021
Pros:
Voided rental while on site! Rented a Nissan Pathfinder gave me a Kia Sorento with body damage and stained cloth seats! Staff could not assist and offered a minivan replacement! When you pay for premium SUV rental that is what is expected!Cons:
Staff gave me a phone number to call which was incorrect. The second phone number is Hertz.com ignore with endless menus, ultimately placing the caller in hold he’ll for ridiculous amounts of wait time. Finally spoke with a representative so heavily accented that we could barely communicate resulting in yet another phone call to the billing department! Still awaiting my credit card refund as I paid for the rental up front to save money on the crazy cost!2.0 Poor
Mar 2021
Pros:
I mean, I would call a Kia Sorrento a full-size SUV. We moved our luggage from a RAV-4 and it barely fit in the Kia. Moving from a crossover to a full size SUV, you expect a little bit more room. Maybe you should clear up with your partners what is considered a full-size SUV. When your site says a Nissan Pathfinder OR COMPARABLE, no one expects to show up and have to drive a Kia Sorrento.Cons:
Stop lying to us about the cars available. I could have gotten way cheaper rates for a Kia Dorrento booking direct or using another service. Massively disappointing.8.0 Very good

Sep 2018
Pros:
Pick up location.Cons:
After purchasing the 3rd party protection insursnce, the Enterprise agents said it wasnt the best idea to go that route. They offered (wanted me to purchase) their in-store insurance, which I did. They advised to cancel the 3rd party I insurance. Of course all of this is happening as I'm dealing with everthing else and i never got around to calling the 3rd party to cancel. So basically I paid for two sets of coverage. My point here is if you are going to purchase the additional insurance, wait until at the counter; it was basically the same price.8.0 Very good
