May 2021
Pros:
Fantastic staff and great service. Kind, responsive, professional, just a pleasure to work with.Cons:
Location does not allow after-hours key drop due to roving car-theft gangs. Maybe a better/stronger drop box could work?3.6 Poor
Nov 2020
Cons:
The woman who serviced us upon arrival was very rude. Especially, with the drop off. We were supposed to do a key drop off box. The place suspended that activity and never let us know. There was nowhere to leave the car and we didn't know what to do. She must have seen us from a distance since the office was closed and came over to ask about us. Her response was well today is your lucky day. not, I'm sorry for the inconvenience we should have contacted you telling you our policy has changed nothing.2.0 Poor

Pros:
NothingCons:
Would have been better if they had the car that I reserved. Also if they would’ve called me once they had a car to rent2.0 Poor
Sep 2020
Cons:
There were no cars available to fulfill our reservation. The Enterprise corporate staff assured us there were cars available when we phoned the night before but then on the morning of the rental, the local office called to tell us they had none and could not fulfill the reservation. We ended up renting directly from a local Avis but it caused us a lot of headache And stress at the start of our vacation. Was very disappointing as no one from Enterprise seemed able to resolve the situation.10.0 Wonderful
Aug 2020
Pros:
Really good car for what I neededCons:
Wanted car at a different location for pick up. Would have saved me a couple hours on pick up and drop off. Yes I could have picked up closer but car was more expensive at that location.10.0 Wonderful
Jul 2020
Pros:
The staff were very polite, professional and quick.Cons:
The only thing I wish was that there were floor mats in the car. Colorado is very dusty and I was concerned about tracking dirt on the carpet.Sixt

Jun 2020
Pros:
The staff was nice, they were helpfulCons:
The car was late to drop off and was not cleaned out but we were going on a family trip so we needed to leave. There was a nail in the drivers side tire and we used fix a flat and after hours drop off so I could not tell them. Not sure if the nail was in the tire when we picked it up but we were far from any towns and limited cell service so we did what we could do.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
Easy after hours drop off box.Cons:
Only issue was Avis Lakewood overcharging me at return. They quickly fixed this after I called customer care, but I don't appreciate having to find extra unauthorized charges on my credit card and spending time on the phone to get it fixed.10.0 Wonderful
