Seating & Alliance Disappointment Expectation vs. Reality: As an Emerald member with the oneworld alliance, I typically receive complimentary seat selection on partner airlines. Unfortunately, this Enterprise Rent-A-Car booking experience fell short of expectations. The Issue: I paid extra for seats that appeared to offer a better arrangement during booking. However, upon boarding, the actual layout differed from what was displayed at purchase. Comfort Levels: My assigned seat lacked adequate cushioning, forcing me to rely on extra pillows and blankets for lower back support. For longer journeys, this level of discomfort significantly impacts the passenger experience. 2. Frustrating Customer Service Loop The support process was highly repetitive and inefficient: Detroit Agent: Contacted initially for flight details and aircraft information. Chicago Department: Transferred here, only to be told they couldn't assist and given a new number. Redirection: The next representative redirected me right back to the original Detroit contact. Result: Only after multiple calls and repeating the same explanation did an agent finally provide the requested information. 3. Cabin Environment & Cleanliness The Positives: The aircraft itself was attractive, well-maintained, and the cabin crew was hardworking and professional despite a busy flight. The Negatives: The environment deteriorated as the flight progressed. Several passengers were noisy, and the lavatories became untidy within a few hours, with wet floors and messy sinks. Final Verdict While the cabin crew deserves recognition for their hard work, the inconsistent customer service, uncomfortable seating, and poor cabin upkeep overshadowed the positives. I will strongly compare alternatives before using Enterprise Rent-A-Car for a similar trip in the future.

After reading previous reviews, I was concerned about poor customer service. I'm happy to report that both pick up and drop off the customer service was excellent. I arrived about 10 minutes before they opened on Sunday. There was one staff member already in the parking lot reviewing their reservations of the day. At promptly 10 am, I walked inside and was greeted immediately. A few more customers walked inside after me. I was checked out in about 10 minutes or less. The copy of the rental agreement was emailed to me. This location does keep a hold on your credit card. (Which is explained at check out) The only reason for not a perfect score. The car I was given was about 4 years old, with 60,000 miles, and plenty of scratches on the outside. It did meet my needs for great gas mileage on a work trip. When I returned the car, it was a quick process. If I had to rent again on a Sunday, I would return to this location.

RENT AT YOUR OWN RISK!…read more My story: Showed up at 8am and was told they did not have a vehicle for me. Told me they may have one in 7-8 hrs if I'm lucky. Never received my vehicle for my reservation. A gentleman in the lobby used his credit card to hold his reservation, and they told him that they could not give him a refund. He was told to go online and try to get it there. He was there at 7am, and needed the same vehicle as I. While I was in the lobby, Payless failed to serve 6 out of the 8 people that came for a reserved vehicle. Manager just simply stated that it was just one of those days. Contacted customer service a day later hoping there would be some compensation for not providing a vehicle. The best they could do is offer an apology. No discount, no compensation. I will never rent from Avis or Payless ever again. It is clear they are not on your side, and they are extremely unorganized and unprofessional.

From the start, his attitude was arrogant and dismissive. Instead of providing clear guidance, he treated us as if we were ignorant and wasting his time. What made it worse is that we had just come off a flight of nearly five hours. Anyone working in airport car rentals should understand that customers are arriving from long journeys and need to feel welcomed, respected, and at ease not belittled. This agent failed completely in that regard. For a role that is all about customer service and first impressions, his behavior was unacceptable. He showed no patience, no respect, and certainly no professionalism. It left us with the feeling that he should not be working in a customer-facing position at all.

Shady business practices! Do not rent from here!…read more I rented a car from ace in franklin park via car rentals.com. During the car pickup, the very quick inspection (in the rain) noted a couple little dents on the side and rear of the car where the paint had chipped. I have my own insurance on my car, but rented a car to avoid putting miles on it. Therefore I didn't use the insurance they offered. That is where the scam begins. Upon returning the car today, they claimed that I must have driven through a hail storm. I had not. In fact, the areas where I drove through and visited did not receive ANY hail. The "dents" which are barely visible to the eye were caused by "very small hail that I may not have noticed" per the manager of the car rental place. That makes no sense as the hail was supposedly large enough to cause "damage" (see pictures of the car) but not enough that I could ever hear it? He then claimed that southwest Michigan and Indiana received hail on the days I had the car. Small problem... I was not in the parts of Michigan and Indiana that received hail at the time the hail was falling. I parked the car next to my car in Chicago which has no hail damage so it didn't happen there. I drove to my mother's house and parked the car next to my sister's car which has no hail damage. It must have been in the most isolated hail storm ever (as in only hit this one car and nothing near it; also no hail damage to any of the windows). I really wish I had read the reviews on this place before renting from them. The place is a total scam and I'm sure he pulls this same thing on most people who don't buy their insurance. If you roll the dice and rent from them, take pictures before and after!

I have never posted a negative review but my experience with the Elmhurst, IL location was awful…read more The cargo van that I reserved weeks in advance for a cross country move was in horrible condition inside and out. The door handle fell off in my hand and the cargo van was not maintained and was dangerous to drive. I voiced these concerns to the manager, Alex and told him the tire light was on and was assured it was checked and it would "go off" once I started driving which it did not for the duration of my trip. The transmission kept slipping, the whole van shook, and the oil change sticker from their company was over 10,000 miles overdue. I was told they did not have another truck. I called customer service and they were no help--told me I had to work with the location. I explained to the location manager Alex, who was worthless that the van was unsafe and was told that it was fine and I didn't break down in the middle of nowhere so it was not an issue. I guess you have to sustain an injury or be stranded somewhere for Budget to care. You have one job Budget--to rent safe vehicles and you failed. Was not interested in any service recovery and proceeded to charge my card $500 over the quoted rate. Can't believe this location is still in business. They could care less about their customers and their safety. If you value your safety, take your business elsewhere.
