Pros:

Comfortable vehicle with plenty of room. Pick up was easy.

Cons:

When I called in to get a Chevy Tahoe or similar vehicle to rent the agent told me that the price will be around $380 and there’s only one left to rent and it was at Indiana Ave in the city of Riverside,CA. When I arrived at the location there was no Tahoe available even tho I had made the reservation online and over the phone. There was a Ford Expedition there which was similar to the Tahoe but the agent who was there charged me $650 which was way higher than I expected but I was put into a tough spot so I rented the Expedition. I felt like it was a Bait and switch which is very troubling to me.

Pros:

Truck was a good size

Cons:

The vehicle was not ready at the time of reservation I received a phone call at 1:37 Enterprise did not properly clean the vehicle with standards of health and safety regulations for COVID-19. The exterior was not washed the bed of the truck had sappy goo on the left hand side that I had to hose down and use a degreaser to remove the sapp/sticky substance, windows were not clean, finger and hand prints were still visible on the exterior and interior of the door handles and windows and the frame of the doors from the previous renter. The truck was below a qtr. of a tank, they did not refill the window washing fluid, so when driving we were not able to use this feature of the truck when the weather conditions required better visibility. I found 1.5inch of clear liquid substance in the bottom console of the truck, which I discovered after leaving the rental spot and properly sanitizing the door handles and scrubbing the seats to remove stains from the seats. The vehicle was not vacuumed at all or wiped down. The written sign notification of cleaning standards was not completed or performed, violating all health and safety standards required by all rental businesses. In addition the manager did not disclose he was charging me the full amount plus the deposit $200 deposit totally $472 I had to call and ask on 3 occasions for a copy of my rental agreement by email. I ended up driving back to the location to get a paper copy of my agreement before leaving for my trip. In addition, The agreement provided did not indicate the deposit amount in parentheses. The rental time was also incorrect on the agreement. I was notified at 1:37pm by phone that the vehicle I requested had arrived. I did not pick up the vehicle till after 2:00pm

Not the best rental experience. - Pickup was set for noon on Sunday when the office closes at noon on Sunday. Reps leave at close so car couldn’t be picked up until Monday. Customer service acknowledged this was an issue every day yet nothing is being done about it. When I got there at 8am Monday morning, my rental was not available (a small SUV). I had to take the only car available (a 12 passenger van). - Van had trash in it (cans, chocolate on seats) and ants throughout on the dashboard and lining the doorframes. - Van had a dirty windshield covered in bugs and no wiper fluid.

Drop off was rude. The unlimited toll add on was useless as I had to pay at every toll station. The van was dirty at pick up.

Customer service absolutely sucked. Chris in particular at the Jefferson Ave. location was 20 minutes late, and there was no mention from him of a service charge of $250. I saw that and I was absolutely furious. Poor communication from sales rep.
