As for everything else, this location is pretty convenient and their hours are definitely better than other DC rental car companies and locations. The prices are better than the airports or Union Station but be sure to book early since they are typically sold out on the weekend. This is typically my go-to place for rentals longer than a day or two.

I am extremely disappointed with my recent experience at the Hertz location inside Union Station in…read moreWashington, DC. I arrived 15 minutes before my 2:00 p.m. reservation only to be told there were no vehicles available and that I was fifth on a waiting list. This begs the question: what is the purpose of a reservation if a vehicle is not available at the reserved time? After waiting about 15 minutes, I asked if someone could help locate another Hertz location with available vehicles. I was told to do that myself. I was also unable to reach a live representative through the Hertz customer service line. I later asked how many customers ahead of me were waiting specifically for an SUV, the vehicle I had reserved, and was told I was next in line. Great! About 10 to 15 minutes later, an SUV was returned. When I simply asked if it was mine, the representative raised her voice and told me to "just wait" and let them "figure everything out." Moments later, another customer requested an SUV and was immediately given one. When I reminded the representative that I had been told I was next, she yelled that the other customer had paid an additional $50. At no point was I offered the same option or informed that an upgrade fee would make another vehicle suddenly available. I asked to speak with the supervisor after waiting nearly an hour. Rather than listening to my concerns, he became argumentative and dismissive. When I said I did not need to hear a defensive explanation, he replied, "Well, you're going to," and then with a tantrum told his employees, "She doesn't want to listen to me, so I won't listen to her." Wow. As a frequent Hertz customer and Gold Plus Rewards President's Circle member, I expected better. Even another customer was told that his Gold status "meant nothing" because there were no vehicles. A simple text or call advising customers of the vehicle shortage could have allowed us to make alternate arrangements. Instead, customers were left waiting without communication and treated discourteously when asking reasonable questions. Vehicle shortages happen. Disrespectful customer service should not. The lack of communication, inconsistent handling of available vehicles, and unprofessional conduct by both the representative and supervisor made this one of the worst rental experiences I have had. I will not rent from the Union Station location again as long as this level of management and customer service remains in place.

It would not come close to fitting in my normal size parking spaces at work and home (I live and work in a Washington DC which parking space is always limited). I looked at the customer service agent in disbelief. He was not kidding. I had to wait over an hour for him to bring a car from another location...and he was not happy to have to do it. He was one of those "used car salesmen" types...sickeningly friendly - so insincere. 2. The car I was given seemed ok but neither he nor i noticed what had to have been a hairline crack in the back windshield because when, a couple of days later, I shut the door and stepped on the brake to start the car (I had not yet touched the button to start the car, I had only stepped on the brake), the slight motion shattered the entirety of the back windshield. It was shocking to say the least. I returned the car and he refused to even speak to me about it, saying it was my fault. My insurance was charged WAY TOO MUCH for the windshield - over $700 - and I had to pay a $250 deductible. They actually made money on it!

I have rented vehicles from Enterprise for years, regularly and consistently, for business travel…read moreacross the country. Because of that, this experience was especially surprising and deeply disappointing. I am very familiar with how Enterprise typically operates and this location fell far below that standard. The only difference this time was that the rental was through insurance, and I was treated accordingly. I rented a vehicle from this location on Friday through my insurance company. I called ahead to let them know I would be arriving later than originally planned and was given a confirmed pickup time of 1:30 PM. I arrived at 1:19 PM, within that window, and was told my reserved vehicle had already been given to someone else. I was then told I had been called about this, which was untrue. No call was made. Rather than being offered a comparable replacement to my insured vehicle--a 2018 Chevy Equinox I was only offered two options: an electric vehicle or a Honda Civic. Neither is equivalent to the SUV my insurance was paying for. This was despite there being other comparable vehicles visibly available on the lot. The electric vehicle I was handed smelled strongly of smoke and was poorly cleaned. I was told it had only 30 miles of charge and would require eight hours to recharge, yet no instructions were provided. Once driving, it became immediately clear that the remaining charge equated to about 27 minutes of drive time, which was not enough to reach my mechanic and return home. The vehicle would have stalled somewhere on the road, leaving me stranded with no knowledge of how to recharge it. This created a serious safety issue, as I am responsible for transporting my son, sister, and mother. Being sent off in an undercharged electric vehicle with no guidance was not just inconvenient it was dangerous. When I returned the vehicle immediately upon realizing this, I was then offered a Honda Civic, again not equivalent. No apology was offered for the misinformation, the lack of preparation, or the fact that I watched an equivalent vehicle being rented to someone else during this interaction. No solutions were provided. I canceled the insurance rental at this location. However, the branch failed to properly close out the rental. Had I not personally contacted my insurance adjuster twice to create a documented timestamp, it would have appeared as though I had rented a vehicle when I did not. As a long-time Enterprise customer who rents frequently for business, this experience was shocking. I will never return to this location, and I strongly recommend that anyone renting under insurance avoid this branch entirely.

My experience at the Enterprise location at 2301 Bladensburg Road, NE this morning was extremely…read moredisappointing. I reserved a compact vehicle the night before and informed the representative that I would arrive at 7:30 a.m. when the branch opened. At the time of the reservation, there was no indication that this would present any issues. Upon arrival, however, I was informed by the Enterprise representative, Mr. Danny Calder, that no compact cars were available and that only a Jeep remained on the lot. Although I was told I could take the Jeep at the same rate, I expressed concern regarding the comfort and practicality of driving a much larger vehicle. I also explained that if I was not comfortable with the Jeep, I would return to exchange it for the compact car I originally reserved. Throughout the interaction, Mr. Calder was noticeably nonchalant, impatient, and unprofessional. When I inquired about the 15% discount for rentals over three days--something I was instructed to request when making the reservation--he stated that he would need to cancel and rebook my reservation because it was "booked online." I clarified that I had spoken directly with a representative the night before and had not booked anything online. When he requested my ID and insurance, he handled the documents in a manner that appeared hesitant and uncomfortable, which further contributed to the unprofessional tone. I also asked about the federal government discount that I have consistently received in the past. He initially stated that they "don't do that," which is incorrect, and only applied a 5% discount after I presented my federal government ID badge.Despite having a reservation for an early pickup, I still had to wait for the Jeep to be cleaned, causing additional delays. This undermines the purpose of reserving a vehicle in advance to ensure a timely and efficient pickup. Overall, I am extremely dissatisfied with the lack of professionalism, the failure to honor my reservation, the inadequate discount, and the overall customer service I received. Additionally, Mr. Calder did not assist with adjusting the seat or demonstrating basic vehicle functions--assistance that the Pentagon Police ultimately provided when I arrived at work. These are tasks that should have been addressed at the time of pickup but were not. This experience could have been handled far more effectively, and this location has significant room for improvement.
