Avis and Budget rental car service…read more I rented a car for a one way rental from Thousand Oaks to Lake Forest and the experience was perfectly smooth and easy. I returned the car to Bassem in Lake Forest and he was kind and professional, providing stellar customer service. The return process was smooth and easy just as the initial rental in Thousand Oaks was. Great car, pricing and service. Highly recommended. Update 11/4/2025 I stopped by this morning after returning the rent a car yesterday as I believed I had left my Armani glasses in the car. I spoke with Danny, what a true professional and caring person. Danny immediately unlocked the car and I searched with no success. He also checked lost and found and no luck. I gave Danny my card and asked him to call me if in fact they showed up. As I exited the parking lot Danny came running out with the glasses and said that he found them in the back. What a terrific individual who truly cared and put forth extra effort to help me out. Truly appreciated and definently worth rewarding. Highly recommended.

Great customer service, but vehicle condition was disappointing…read more The staff at this location were actually great--the customer service was solid, and the check-in and check-out process was relatively quick and efficient. No complaints about the team at all. However, the condition of the fleet left a lot to be desired. There was almost no selection available, and I was given a Hyundai Elantra with over 35k miles on it. To make matters worse, the car itself was quite dirty on the inside when I picked it up. While I appreciate the fast and helpful service from the employees, Enterprise really needs to do a better job with vehicle maintenance and thorough cleaning between rentals.

Then they want a $100 deposit. After calling a family member to get the extra money the other "manager" says oh it is a $500 deposit I got upset then they tell me oh it has to be on a credit card not debit and the card has to be present (no over the phone, no picture of the card no apple/google pay) The credit card holder must be present and added to the rental. All in all customer service was deplorable the two "managers" were completely unwilling to help and didnt even care that i had to walk with my 2 kids to where my truck was (10min drive but 1 1/2 walk with 2 little kids)

Since the location is on the smaller side, they did not have an associate available to pick me up so they sent a Lyft to take me to their location.

This is unacceptable business practice. I have filed a formal complaint with the corporate headquarters about this location. I've rented cars from Hertz scores of times and never had this problem.

Furthermore, mainly, he would not get full credit$$ since the car was picked up at the airport! Finally drove to the airport and exchanged the car.

Before this recent experience, I liked Enterprise Rent-A-Car, particularly for the pickups and drop-offs, and am truly appalled at what I experienced with this last rental. My most recent need to rent a car was because my car unexpectedly died. I rented a car from this Enterprise location for 3 days. The pickup was smooth, and the lady (can't remember her name) who checked me in was good to work with, similar to my previous experiences with Enterprise. However, that would be the end of the good experience. When I went to drop off the car 3 days later and asked for a ride to an auto dealership to pick up my newly leased car, Jannic told me to drive over to the dealership and they would pick it up from there, as they were too busy to give me a ride then. This was Monday, May 4. Later that same week, when I saw that my credit card was being charged more than the 3-day rental, I called that Enterprise office and got Jannic again. He said he'd call the dealership to locate the car, so that they could close out the contract. Even put me on hold to supposedly take care of that. Then, on May 14, I got an email from Enterprise asking me to confirm whether I'd be returning the car on May 15, along with over $1,000 in charges! So, I drove over to the Laguna Hills Enterprise office to attempt at settling this once and for all, as apparently calling would lead to no resolution with mounting credit card charges. What did I get? Jannic told me that he texted the dealership with no response. He called, and there was no response. He said the person with whom I left the keys didn't work there. And he insisted that he couldn't close out the contract unless he could locate the car. Yet, other than supposedly calling or texting, he wasn't going to do anything else to locate the car that he told me to drop off at the dealership! I would never have done that otherwise in a million years! Since it was clear that it'd be up to me to locate the car if I don't want to be responsible for paying for it, I drove to the dealership. Lo and behold, the car keys were there, the employee with whom I dropped off the rental keys on the day I picked up my leased car indeed works there! Right at the dealership, I called Enterprise again and got routed to an assistant manager, who apologized for the miscommunication that caused me to have to spend my time driving to the Enterprise rental office and then to the car dealership. By the way, that also costs me mileage on a leased vehicle. She promised to reverse charges for the additional days of rental and to reduce the rental charges for the 3 days I had the car to compensate for my unnecessarily horrible experience that was due to their communication failure, not any fault on my part. She said she'd call me before the end of the day. That was May 14. Guess what? It's now end of day May 15, there was no call, and the credit card charges have not been reversed! I'm left with no other choice but to spend more time and energy disputing these bogus charges through my credit card company. How does a business operate like this? Never, ever rent from Enterprise again!
