The rudest manager I’ve ever witnessed. Liar employees that called to confirm my reservation the day before and when I got there my car was not there. The manager said I have no control over this when I asked who has control he said I’m the manager but I can’t control anything here and sent me away. He didn’t care and was making fun of another customer who wanted to pay cash with another employee right in front me. That store either needs to close down or the whole team needs to change because it’s ruining enterprise reputation. I would never rent from enterprise again because time is gold and I waisted 2 hours of my time that day driving to OC from LA. Bad business very bad!!!!!

I booked a full size SUV, a Nissan Rogue that would fit 6 people and 5 bags. I was given a mid size suv that would fit 4 and 1 bag. For one week that was unacceptable. They had no other vehicles than a mini van. I was given the mini can, but I had to pay an additional $20/day for the difference. It was not right.

I booked a car but it wasn't there when i arrived - that was a little bit stressful. When i returned a few hours later to make sure the car was then cancelled, they had another car for me which i was very happy for. So a small bump in the delivery of the car, but over all a great experience

The car was great! Very clean and new and served our needs well. Drop off at the airport was quick and easy. Pick up took 45 minutes, was way too slow, and did not value my time.

Verify availability of vehicles. I reserved a full size SUV, but they didn't have any. I had to take a smaller vehicle than I wanted.
