    Confirmation email .

    I have a one star because it doesn't allow zero or minus zero .. I scheduled a 10:45am pick up time to rent an economy car for a few days . While on the phone , I asked if they thought I would be able to check out by 11:30 & the person on the phone guaranteed me I would be equipped with a car by that time & on the road for my trip to Arizona . When I arrived at 10:45am & gave the gentleman at the counter , Soleman my reservation confirmation number & showed him my email confirmation pick up time he informed me there were no cars available, but if I wanted to wait then someone may or may not return a car that I would be able to rent after they completed their check out process & wash & vacuum the car . He informed me that it could be several hours or not at all & I was welcomed to wait . He said having a reservation & pick up time was not a guarantee & really meant nothing . I asked what time they expected a car to return & he said he had no idea . But he continued to tell me I was welcome to wait how ever long I wanted to wait or not . He said there was a larger car I could rent for an upgraded price but did not offer me the larger car at the original confirmed price . He was unapologetic & quite apathetic . I waited until 11:30am (45 minutes ) & there were still no cars available. I consider this extremely poor management & customer service . They ought not give a reservation number & pick up time if there are no cars available. It's false advertising & crappy customer service .

    Horrible choice of cars and abysmal customer service. Cars have issues and blame the customers.

It was difficult to figure out exactly what I should book online so I went to the office to speak with someone. Jay was really helpful and told me right away the 15 passenger van was the next bigger vehicle and probably the best for my needs. I was ready to book through him but he said he would have to charge me a walk-in rate, which is apparently more expensive than booking online. This office is also closed on Sundays and he said I can return the van at another nearby office in Signal Hill that's open on Sundays. So helpful! Booking online was super easy. The staff were also really nice and helpful when I picked up the van. Daniel walked me to the van, he took some pictures and told me it just needs to be returned with 3/4 tank of gas, which is what it had. The van was clean and in good condition. He said, "You' may be small, but I have faith in you driving this!" LOL! It was awkward and a bit nerve racking driving it at first, but got used to it pretty quickly. Great visibility being higher up and with big windows. It's also really smooth and good on gas! It got us through the desert and was perfect for us for the week we needed it.

There were a couple cars available for me to choose between, he was patient and allowed me to sit in each car to see which I was comfortable in. Bryan was so patient. He even stated that at any time I was struggling with the car size I could exchange in for another within the same class, he wanted me to be comfortable. I had to call the office a few times with questions. I spoke with Umi who was so helpful and polite, very knowledgeable as was Bryan. Umi, took the time to call me and let me.know my rental had been extended to ease my mind while I shopped for another car. This office goes above and beyond to care for their customers. I used to be a Hertz customer but Bryan & Umi converted me into an Enterprise customer. Thank you both for everything. Yall made a stressful situation more bearable.

As a…read morebusiness we made a reservation for a client and his assistant in a different state, unfortunately they were not able to pick up the car because they did not meet certain requirements. We made new accommodations and they were on their way. Here comes the hard part, asking for a refund. First I had to deal with the automated voice then I was sent to three different countries before I specified specifically for a rep residing to in the US (yes you have to use that verbiage) only to be told that even as an office manager who made the reservation I could not request the refund. Even armed with all the necessary information, they had to speak to the main driver whose only job was to go pick up the car. I would never recommend this company to anyone who travels often. Turo is probably a better option. Save yourself the headache and go with either a traditional company who is well known or a Turo like situation.

My family needed an extra car for 4 days to drive all the out of town family that was coming in for our daughter's wedding. They have normal office hours (8 - 5 weekdays, 9 - 2 on weekends), and have only person manning the counter. All the cars are located on the 4th floor of the parking garage, the same place for pickup and return. I chose this location because I am able to walk back to our condo, thus not requiring another car to pick up/drop off. Also, it appeared as a choice via the Costco travel website, AND didn't require prepayment whereas other sites do. I chose the economy option (Kia Soul or similar)...for this location, there aren't many options for cars so got a Chevy Malibu (Full-size) instead. Sulaimain was who I dealt with, and he explained that there is no guarantee of any car even with a reservation. I showed him my license, and he did an authorization on my credit card for $200 over the quoted price. I picked the car up by myself on the 4th floor. Four days later, I returned the car to the same spot...this time there were NO cars on the 4th floor. I took pictures of the outside of the car to document no damage, and a picture of dash to show mileage and gas full. I then went downstairs to the office, where I interacted with Sulaimain again. He knew why I had needed the car, so asked me how my weekend went. I told him and I enjoyed our back and forth. He gave me the paperwork indicating my return on-time, and about a day later, I got an electronic invoice directly from Budget. The rental charge was exactly what I was quoted ($162.86). Having not to pay the airport surcharges makes a big difference in keeping rental car charges down, especially for longer rentals.
