Outstanding customer service from Merrie Lopez at Enterprise for a same day, multi-day rental for me in Berkeley while my car was in service. Easy in, easy out, easy change, early return -- all no problem and with smiles and laughs all around. Good price and good vehicle. Thank you - will definitely rent again from this location. read more

Had a very odd rental experience from Enterprise in Novato, CA. Dropped car off after rental absolutely fine, key in drop box as they were closed. Next day I get a call saying I owe $3,000 for damage to vehicle. What a clusterfuck. read more

So quick for the updated review, but I recently returned and same quick service, but this time, instead of a downgrade when they didn't have my car, they gave me the upgrade. Clearly, it's based on inventory and what they have in the lot. I needed to rent a car again and this time I went with the cheaper option of the Toyota vs the Jetta and again, no Toyota or Jetta insight. But this time, instead of the downgrade they offered me a BMW! Still a bit annoying, since at least in the case of the sedan, you just don't know what you're going to get. But, at least I was balling out for the day. To note: this was only a 1 day rental. Again, it's pretty inexpensive for a day rental if you need a rental car and very fast and efficient when checking in and dropping off. I have the pro-tip down now which works for me. read more

Incompetent, rude, infuriating. From the moment I stepped in the door, I was greeted with contempt. How dare I just expect them to have the car the insurance company reserved ON A FRIDAY. And of course they didn't have time to call me in the 90 minutes since the reservation came in. Said they would probably have cars at four, but no matter what time I came I would have to wait, they didn't care that. I had to get back to my vehicle at the Body Shop and get the car seat before 5:00 so I can do daycare pick up. This lady WALKED AWAY FROM ME, out the back before we even figured out the situation. I am in an Uber now, on my own dime, going back miles in the direction I came, towards the body shop further away from my home to another Enterprise where I was promised that I would have to wait. This turned what should have been a quick pickup into a whole morning wasted. Most unpleasant and unprofessional rental car interaction I can remember. read more

Just as I thought, nothing has been done. I spoken someone at length and have had no response. Apparently they do not care how their customers are being treated, well, at least some customers. This manager refused to give me a car that my insurance company set up due to his biases. read more

Beverly Loyo was great!!! Keep Her!! She driving safely and cautiously. Enterprise is was good!! We would have Enterprise on deck when to renting cars! I would have love have better cars read more

I rented a car from here in a pinch and got great customer service from Tony. I found dealing with him to be pleasant and stress-free. He was patient with me while I got my paperwork together at a time when I was already flustered about having my car in for repairs. He helped me understand my options and answered all my questions. I would rent from this location again because of this positive customer experience. read more

My partner used his car insurance to make a reservation with this location. Although the first issue was entirely on my partner (his temporary license had expired), once he finally obtained a new copy we called this location to confirm (1) they had available cars and (2) that we were on our way. Once we got there, the person who helped my partner (didn't get his name) said that we needed to call first. Jokes on you - we did. And his teammate likely didn't even mention that we did call ahead. Within the 10 minutes it took from our phone call informing them we were on our way to when we got there, the remaining car was promised to someone else. They wasted our time entirely and I absolutely do not recommend this place for your rental needs. I'd suggest going to the Enterprise on San Pablo in Berkeley or Broadway in Oakland. This location lacks professionalism and has no regard for courtesy. Go elsewhere! read more

Jared and Gabi are very easy to work with and do an excellent job anticipating their customers' needs! They provide clean cars at a reasonable price. Jared kindly called us to let us know we left our earbuds, earbud case, and grocery bags in our rental car. Highly recommend the Shattuck location for your rental car needs! read more

Understaffing by Enterprise can't be made up by the nice hard working people here. Took over an hour to pick up a reserved car.

I'm very grateful Enterprise rental car guided my concerns to completion and the misunderstanding, too many details to share, was cleared. This company and workers at Enterprise do value customers, my input was processed in a constructive dialogue and respectfully heard. I will shout from mountain tops to rent your car and enjoy the ride. Thanks a ton Enterprise Mobility read more

Bad customer service at the Shattuck Ave Enterprise rental car branch. Incompetentance in regards not serving the customer wishes on transparency of the rental agreement, very shoddy. Be very careful. The manger is a straight up liar. Go to Hertz instead. read more

Excellent service from Brent and Jared, I had pre ordered an elite sedan but when I arrived there were none, so Brent called around and Jared went and got one from another Enterprise close by, turned out the elite sedans cargo space was insufficient for my purposes so I asked about upgrading to a large SUV on the lot and without skipping a beat they got me set up in an SUV and got me on my way ASAP. Great experience all around thanks guys! read more

Amazing customer service and hospitality from Trent. Calm, collected and works fast and assures you any questions or concerns are heard and resolved. Looking forward to coming back. read more

I have had an amazing experience renting a car at Enterprise-RentA-Car on Shattuck in Berkeley. The service that Trent and Joseph provided was top notch. Both of them were both professional and knowledgeabl. Coupled with the concern and empathy they demonstrated how much they care about their customers. read more

Enterprise provided me with perfect service. In fact, it was surreal: the van I had reserved was waiting, clean, and fueled up. Super guy Jared greeted me and processed the paperwork in 5 minutes. I have never received this level of customer care, and I liked it. Everyone who has used the competition recently understands how impressive this experience was. Thank you, Jared, and thank you, Enterprise. I'll be back soon. read more

Very pleasant experience! Quick, efficient, and with compassion! I was dealing with a car accident that wasn't my fault and this was extra work for me, but during pick up and drop off it was smooth sailing. Clean car and brand new! The only reason why they don't get 5 stars is because construction in Berkeley and the location of this Enterprise make it a difficult branch to utilize... completely not the fault of staff they were great! read more

I had an excellent experience with Enterprise during my recent trip. I had to change my reservations during the trip and it was handled without any difficulties I picked up car at SFO and returned it in Berkeley without a problems. The car was clean and great shope read more

Rented a car from here for 2 weeks and while pick up and drop off were relatively easy, the most annoying part was trying to get ANY kind of help in between then regarding our reservation. Basically, do NOT expect to get helpful assistance on the phone or even via chat. We tried to adjust our rental after picking up the car, and even though they tell you they are flexible, they don't adjust your price!!! Even though if you call, they'll promise and swear that everything will be updated for a lower price. So we paid $120 more than we were expecting to on the day of the return, and $180 more than I wanted to since I had planned to return even earlier, but was unable to due to lack of after hours drop off. On the phone, anytime we called after we had made our reservation, there were long wait times, once we simply got disconnected after 30 minutes on hold and then a robot telling us we couldn't be connected and to try later. Three times we got connected to humans who then gave us WRONG information. One person gave us price quotes and information about returning our car on two days when the car rental office wasn't even open, so when we went to return the car, we couldn't! So we were surprised by 2 extra days of rental fees. The last time we called, we got someone who promised to both email us a confirmation and call us back about the price difference. NADA. On chat, the robot made us wait over an hour once before connecting us, at which point I'd given up and left my computer. The reason for 2 stars is because when I did return my car, the person working with us (shout out to Justin at the Shattuck Ave location in Berkeley) gave me a ride back to our Airbnb so I didn't have to Lyft. read more

This has been a great experience with this Enterprise. Tyrone Campbell goes above and beyond for his customers and workers. He was such a pleasure to work with! Everyone I came in contact with there was great! Hopefully I don't have to get a rental again, but if I do I will def be back to this exact business! read more

Great location. Easy pick up and drop offs. Hats off to the hustle Natasha showed to arrange a rental within an hour even after hours. Great work! read more

Enterprise Rent-A-Car - Car Rental Near Me - Berkeley, California

Assistant Manager Armoni made sure I could get my car right when this location opened and his staff had me in and out in minutes in a clean, great rental. Thanks team! This location also works seamlessly with Geico and Hustead's Auto Repair for easy rentals and body work repairs. read more

I had to rent a car while our car was in the shop. Our insurance company handled the reservation, but the car was ready at the designated time and the customer service was terrific. They also offered to give me a ride to the body shop when I returned the rental, which was an unexpected benefit. read more

Having to hear "please return after normal business hours" every minute 24/7 is beyond crazy. If a crow fly's by, if a car or bus drives by, if someone walks by, if a tree slightly moves, if someone working to wash or clean the rentable cars, it's ridiculous. This place is a tiny. Build a gate. Reserved a car here once and was told the car was not available. read more

Omg we got into a minor accident in our rental car having never gotten into an accident before. This branch was so kind and helpful. THANK GOD we had purchased all the insurance add ons they offer (JUST DO IT), so everything was covered, no big deal, it truly was so easy to let them know it happened and they took care of everything. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thank you! read more

5 stars specifically for Tyrone! From the moment I stepped in he made sure my experience was smooth. He made sure I had the best rate and car that was to my liking. Thank you Tyrone!!! read more

I had the best experience at Enterprise this past week! My car was in the shop, so my insurance covered a rental for me. I got there and the process to get my car was smooth and very pleasant. It was busy that day and I could tell a lot of people felt a bit frustrated with having to wait, but I have to give props to the associates/managers helping everyone at the time. Everyone working was patient and kind! Then through the week I had the car, my rental car window was smashed... & guess what! Letasha was so sweet through the process of my claim. So during this whole experience I did not have a single bad experience with them. I saw the renters getting irritated but they didn't break! And THAT is what I call customer service and I will definitely be renting from this center again! My rental car was clean, it smelled good, I got a Clorox wipe to disinfect my car before getting in it... it was just AMAZING! Thank you Enterprise On Shattuck for your hard work! You are all so great! read more

I have nothing but amazing things to say about this company. Donny and Huy have set the bar high when it comes to renting cars. Customer service has always been A1 and impressively fast in getting you checked in and out. So extremely accommodating and friendly that though they are based out Berkeley and I live elsewhere, I make my way to give them business here. Promise that you will not be disappointed. read more

Needed a car for a well deserved vacation and Latasha,manager at this location, was very accommodating and friendly. When I came to pick up my vehicle, the check out process was efficient and easy to understand. Rental I got was amazingly clean and such a fun drive too! Made the 6 hour drive I had relaxing and less stressful. Will definitely get any future rental needs handled by this location. Don't be afraid to ask the staff questions,they are there to help. read more

I returned a car here and the clerk Lali was totally competent, professional and completely helpful. It was a great experience.

I'm a regular at this car rental agency. The primary reason is that I can't seem to find better rates and they are located less than a mile from me. They do provide drop off service (and pick up, supposedly), which is nice. However, they barely earn a 3-star rating from me. I have several suggestions for them to get a 5 star rating: 1) They give you a wire key ring with 2 non-detachable keys. if you want to detach one, you will have to have a pair of wire cutters handy. I didn't notice until yesterday morning when I was about to run a 10k race and consequently had to hold both keys and the fob during my run. I mentioned this to Ryan (a new employee) and he told me that I should have cut the key ring and acted surprised I didn't have access to wire cutters. He said they tell their clients this but I have NEVER been told this in the countless times I've rented here. I told him that probably 99% of their female clients do not have wire cutters "handy". I personally do not own them nor would I be carrying them in my purse! Suggestion: Have detachable keys or put a pair of wire cutters in the glove compartment. Inform customers about this. 2) They are located directly across the street from two gas stations, yet they never give you a car with a full tank. They say that only the airport agencies do this because they have a gas filling station on site. When I pointed out that there are TWO gas stations about 100 feet away from them, the next reason became that they only have a gas card that allows them to fill a maximum of four gallons. WTH?! Getting a car with 3/8 of a tank is inconvenient because you have to fill your tank before a long trip AND try to refill it to the exact same place in your tank upon returning it. Suggestion: Give the customers a full tank of gas. 3) They have inconsistent policies. I was told that "all Enterprise car rental agencies" use the wire key rings, which seemed to be the reason they do this. On another policy (not accepting debit cards), we were told that some rental agencies allow this and some don't. Suggestion: Either be consistent. Or don't. 4) I've found some of the staff overly intrusive with their questions. They are borderline nosy when asking about your plans for the weekend. One of the employees asked me where I was going, what I was going to be doing, and who I was going with. I find this annoying and intrusive because it's really none of their business! Suggestion: Stop with the personal questions, unless it's initiated by the customer. 5) I just joined their Enterprise Plus program after countless rentals. I was never told of this program by any of the staff, nor encouraged to. Pretty surprised about this. The staff don't seem to know much about the program, when I asked. Suggestion: Train employees on the Enterprise Plus program. Encourage customers to become members, especially if they're regulars. For the most part, the staff is very courteous and friendly and I do believe they are trying their best. The feedback listed above addresses some areas which they could easily improve. read more

You don't get good customer service often and today I did! Latosha and team were wonderful. Proactive complementary pick up at home. Easy and smooth process and helpful by anticipating my needs. Great job! read more

Not going to lie....I don't like the location because it's small and crowded and yes there is some waiting involved when you are picking up the car. I had to get a rental because my car was at a body shop. They picked me up from the auto body Shoppe and brought me to their location. At first the selection of cars available sucked....I got stuck w a Nissan Armada....that's a big car for me. Thankfully Derek promised me he would get a smaller car for me when I came back. So I came back 2 days later and got another car that suited my style. Thanks! The return process was easy and it was a. Good experience for renting a car from them. Would recommend! read more

I dropped off my car to an auto body shop nearby and come to pick up my rental car which was reserved by my insurance company. After the representative told me to show my driving license, I showed them the paper work of my "temporary license" as I just renewed my license two weeks ago and hasn't received the physical one it from dmv. Then they said they don't accept the "TEMPORARY DRIVER LICENSE" and refused to rent me a car. What the hell was that? DMV gave me the temporary license which I don't have any choice then the manager came and gave me the explanation that they do accept INTERIM DRIVING LICENSE other than TEMPORARY which is definitely a shit. BTW the attitude of the manager was bad and rude. NEVER Come back to enterprise again. Stay away from it read more

I cannot believe that I am leaving a review for a car rental establishment. Most of the time I have rented a car, it is an ordeal and never easy. I am leaving a review because the folks at the Shattuck location really stand out for their customer service and professionalism. I have been renting a car once a month or so to visit my father who lives out of town. Everyone at the office is friendly, professional, and my car is always ready to go. Whoever does the hiring sure partnered with great people. Thank you Shattuck for a consistent and refreshing car rental experience. read more

I had to rent a larger car for the weekend and decided to rent through Enterprise since I get a discounted rate through UC Berkeley. This was the only location that had a minivan available. Unfortunately, I had a last minute change of plans and instead needed an 8 seater rather than 7. Juan was super accommodating and was able to get me a full size SUV. The car was well equipped, with touchscreen navigation, dual zone climate control, great speakers, and a panoramic parking camera, the last of which was super helpful when parking such a big car. I had absolutely no wait booking or returning the car, which has never been the case when I rented cars in the past. Overall satisfied with the customer service and will be returning next time I need a car that seats more than 2. read more

Bad customer service and lack of good cars. this office need to be closed, I have been renting with Enterprise over 5 yrs now mostly for business but this office is the worst. read more

Beware of angry, frustrated manager that really shouldn't be working in a customer facing role. My car was was at the nearby dealership for repair, and I returned my rental car here after a great experience @San Pablo enterprise. I watched the manager angrily deal with a customer on the phone by hanging up on her and cussing under his breath. I had my dog with me (short hair and very little shedding). The manager angrily calls the San Pablo enterprise to whine that there's excessive dog hair without even first inspecting the car. I cut him off and requested that he look at the vehicle first. He sees that it was very little pet hair, and then proceeds to change his story to how members after me could have let allergies. I told him I understood, apologized, and will remember this in the future. Yet I received no apology for his demeanor nor his exaggeration of the cleaning problem. Manager is great at belittling the customer to make himself feel like a real man. Great job! read more

ARRRGGGGGHHHH... Now I'm fighting with my Credit Card Company AND my insurance about the charges. After I wrote the first review, I noticed that I was billed $400 from them. WFT????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They should have never billed my account as my insurance covered EVERYTHING! I am so mad right now. read more

Slow at processing, but kind and sweet customer service. Excellent location on Shattuck, south of Berkeley. A great little storefront that offers their discount cars at short notice. Nice folks run this place. read more
