    Dan A.

    Had a long weekend visit and saw a great rate for a luxury vehicle so I booked it. More on the rate later. A bit of a hike to get to the O'Hare rental car center. That said, I do prefer the Airport train over a shuttle bus. Only one ahead of me at the check-in counter so not much of a wait. I opted for the Toll waiver package which was $48. Ended up having only half of that in Tolls so more of a convenience vs value add-on for this rental. Check-in was quick and seamless. They had an Audi A4 available as advertised. That said, maybe one more option so not much of a selection. The Car was clean/newer with a little over 10k miles. Back to the rate. I booked through Expedia and one thing they didn't show is the O'Hare airport tax/fees. It's about 45% of the rental price so I was shocked and don't remember this fee from past O'hare rentals. If you rent directly with Alamo they do show their daily rate with this tax included. Airport fee isn't Alamo's but still ridiculous. Car return was quick and the Agent took time to explain the exorbitant airport fees. Overall, enjoyed the Audi -watch out for the Airport fees

    I rented from alamo 3/17/21 at the fort-lauderdale Hollywood international airport. It was now 2/22/24 I get a letter stating the car was damaged and inspected on 2/1/24 and I am responsible. I reached out played phone tag and heard nothing back. 3/25/24 I get a letter stating they still reviewed my claim and I'm responsible. I emailed that night very upset and called 3/26/24 and reached out to the BBB. that evening they called me telling me it's all settled I don't owe anything. We never damaged the vehicle we rented 3 YEARS AGO!!!!!! please everyone use caution if choosing this company or don't use at all. Ahhh people!!! This is the response I got to the email they provided for me to explain what happened!!!

    Picked up car at 3:37 PM 5/28/22, image taken 3:52 PM 5/28/22

I booked the reservation on the Enterprise website and it allowed me to make the reservation for 5:00pm. When I landed in Chicago with all of my luggage I took a taxi to the Enterprise location that was away from the airport location. The location was closed. What I don't understand how the company would allow me to make a reservation for a time that they knew very well that they were going to be closed for. So I was forced to rent a car with another company for the night for much more money due to super late notice. Then I drove back an hour to the location to return my current rental car and pick up the enterprise car that I had my reservation for. I returned my temporary rental car I had for the night and then proceeded with a taxi to the enterprise location just to find that they told me that they didn't have a car for me. I was left going with another rental company for a second time and having to wait 3 hours before I could get a car. I spent $875 for my rental car for 5 days all because Enterprise decided to not honor the reservation that they gave me. If there is one question I have it is WHY WOULD ENTERPRISE GIVE ME A RESERVATION WHEN THEY DONT RESERVE ANYTHING FOR ME?! I am all the way across the country from my home and stuck stranded in Chicago without any transportation because enterprise decided to LIE to me about giving me a reservation. Yes that is called LYING. If that isn't lying then IDK what is. My experience with Enterprise was horrendous. I wouldn't recommend using them to anyone. Stay away from this company. If Enterprise wants to contact me and make this situation right then I would have open ears to hear what they have to offer. Otherwise I will never use their company again and will not recommend anyone else does either.

But for this trip, I had some long drives that would have been cost prohibitive with rideshare, so I bit the bullet. I was most happy with the check-in process. I was able to do most of it online, so the pick-up at airport was fast and easy. Most importantly, they didn't try to scare me into buying unnecessary insurance or TollPass transponders. The rep showed me how to pay my tolls by plate online, and never mentioned any extras. Thank you! I had selected the premium car category, and I had the choice between an Audi S5, Alfa Romeo Giulia, and Hyundai Genesis. I picked the Audi and it was clean, well equipped , and in good condition. Apple CarPlay worked great, which basically covers everything these days - maps, radio, bluetooth calling, etc. Drop off was just as fast, and the rental car area is a short tram ride away from the Terminals. Overall easy peasy and price was competitive. I'd rent from them again, which I can't say about most of my car rental experiences.

Even so, I was later billed over $600, had to dispute it, and the charge was eventually refunded. After that, I was contacted again about the same balance, saw another charge appear, and even received a letter saying I needed to pay or risk being banned from renting with Enterprise. Escalations then told me they could not see the charge and said I should dispute it with my bank. Very stressful and disappointing experience.
