Pros:

The entire check-in process was very quick (under 15 minutes). The staff was very friendly and I'm extremely grateful that the pickup truck option was available. The truck was excellent. I'm very pleased with my whole experience.

Cons:

Beware that Enterprise does not necessarily pick you up. The corporate website says "within 10 miles, non-airport." But, what you'll find is that the 10 mile radius is not followed. Instead, each Enterprise location goes by MUNICIPAL BOUNDARIES. So, even if you're within 10 miles of an Enterprise location, but across a suburb/town line, they will not pick you up. That was disappointing.

Pros:

The price was good but doesn't matter if there are no cars to drive.

Cons:

They completely bailed on me! They let me book a car but told me in the morning they didn't have any available. Instead of getting one for me and calling back, they closed for the weekend.

The experience was good. I needed the car because mine was getting repaired. Getting the car was easy and the return was even easier. The person I dealt with was professional and friendly.

I originally rented a cargo van. However, the previous renter had not returned the vehicle so I was given a Chevy truck. This Hertz location closed at 12:00 and about :30 into our trip to Flagstaff the AC stopped working. We traveled in 110+ heat with no AC. The next day I tried to get through to customer service, but gave up after being on hold for over an hour. I then went to the the next closest Hertz to see if I could swap our vehicle. They did not have anything comparable to haul our items from my sons dorm room. So we traveled another 300+ miles in 107+ heat with no AC.

They committed fraud on me, they charged me an extra 134 dollars from my account, they claim that I did not fill the gas tank and that is lies. I have proof that if I did fill it, if I have to go to court for this, I will do it if they do not return my money.

I was not notified until I picked up the car that there would be a $200 deposit. The car windows and monitor were dirty. The rental agent was not clear on his words about another card. I tried 2 credit cards but with the additional $200 they were declined. I left the office and went home to call Avis. Gabriel at Avis recommended that I could use my debit card. That was not told to me at the rental office. When I went back to the rental office I spoke to the agent about the use of a debit card. His reply was the same response, Do I have an another card. When I asked about the deposit, he pointed me to a notice above my head. It was not on my email. This made me 2 hours late plus the frustration of not getting the car on time. Very poor customer service.

I declined the insurance and was charged for it even though my contract said I declined it. I had to call the Budget rent of car where I picked up the car to clear it up.
