    Not only the company I work for but personally I have chose Enterprise over the competition for its great customer service and fair pricing. Their cars are in great condition and they sell them once they get to be 20 to 30,000 miles it seems... In other words there's no junk rentals here. I ran into a bit of an issue with my contract that someone working the counter late at night apparently didn't enter everything correctly in the computer but after talking to Terell in the management office he was able to resolve all my issues and was so knowledgeable and helpful . It's wonderful to have people like Terell who have been in the business a while and understand it. His customer service was wonderful. Thank you!

    This was a two hour line to pick up your car

    OK, well I must say this was a huge disappointment as we landed thinking that it would take no more than 30 minutes maybe 45 minutes to collect our car. Approaching almost 2 hours from the time we checked in to the time, we waited in the line to get our car . Which they did not have . They offered us a small car which in no way compared to the SUV that we reserved at almost 2 hours and late four hours reservation in Portland. They ended up giving us a larger SUV . Just by chance because we were waiting for so long.. I am here to tell you that if you reserve a car with enterprise at the Portland airport, give yourself plenty of time. I was told by one of the employees that they don't hire enough people to work at that location.

    For our first family trip together, I wanted to make sure that we traveled in a vehicle that was comfortable and safe. My son specifically requested that I rent an SUV with captain chairs; although I couldn't guarantee the captain chairs, I granted his wish by renting an SUV. Following a short flight from Sacramento to Portland, we retrieved our bags and headed to the Enterprise rental car check in area. A friendly Enterprise employee checked us in, and directed us to the garage area where another employee would provide us with a vehicle. An employee by the name of Esther Eastman warmly greeted us and provided us with three SUVS to choose from. After doing a quick assessment, my son selected a 2023 Toyota Highlander. Ironically, the Highlander had captain chairs (yay!) and rear passenger charging ports so that my son could charge his iPad while watching movies. While my son marveled over the captain chairs and the third row seating (ironically my 10 year old self was similarly impressed by these kind of features), Esther gave me a brief run down of the Highlander and started the vehicle check out process. After obtaining all of the required signatures, Esther went above and beyond the call of duty by sharing a few Portland landmarks that we should visit. Although we already had a list of popular tourist spots, I definitely appreciate hearing what local residents like to do. Esther also shared with me that the State of Oregon recently passed a new law lifting a ban on self-service gas stations. This tidbit of information was very helpful when I later found myself wondering why a fuel attendant was hovering near me as I pumped gas in nearby Beaverton. Since the pandemic's impact on the workforce, I have noticed that good customer service is a rarity. Therefore, it was definitely a breath of fresh air to meet an individual like Esther who not only takes pride in doing her job, but is really passionate about visitors enjoying their time in Portland and surrounding areas. My son was very appreciative of Esther's friendliness and patience as he decided between the vehicle options that she provided us with. Thank you Esther!

    I flew in this past weekend, with a compact reservation, received a free upgrade to full size. Check in was quick and easy, no more than 6 mins. @ the front desk. They had plenty of vehicle selection to choose from, and all the staff was friendly and professional. The vehicle was freshly washed and clean with no odor. Returning the vehicle was also a smooth ride, and was given 2 free early hour arrival, which reduced my total. I'd give them 10 starts if given the option! I will be renting from them again.

    Damage can be clearly seen at pick up and return. They will try to charge you for it regardless. Do NOT rent from Enterprise.

    EDIT 3/18/20: Abysmal customer service. I have been routed around to the Damages department at Enterprise. I have sent them a screenshot clearly showing the damage was already present when checking the car out (see attached pictures showing side by side comparison) and I get told that they are proceeding with charging me for damage. Here's the bottom line - Enterprise Car Rental will cheat you out of your money and will try to make you pay for damage that you didn't cause despite abundant proof to the contrary. Do NOT rent from here. EDIT 3/14/20: I have sent an email to care@enterprise.com per the Business request below and am now awaiting a response. Out of countless reviews, this is the only place I've given a 1-star rating. I'll keep this short and to the point - We rented a car in Portland for 1 day (less than 12 hours) from Enterprise. The employee who handed over the car did a very fast and cursory review. She used her phone as a light to check over the car. It was pretty dim in the parking garage and there wasn't much space to get a good look at the car - especially since the car was black. Regardless, I took a video walking around the entire car just in case. We had no issues with the car during the entire day. Upon returning the car, a different employee came with a flashlight and did a much more detailed inspection. He pointed out a dent which wasn't noticeable to the naked eye, and barely noticeable until he shined a light directly over it. We showed him the video we took earlier in the day and he called a manager over. The manager said another person named Mandy would need to make a decision. This is despite the fact that the initial employee did not use a flashlight in her initial review and despite me having video proof that the car is in the same condition as it was checked out. I was told that I would be getting a call from Mandy the very next morning. If she didn't call, I was given a number to follow-up. I haven't received a single call from Enterprise or Mandy and it has been several days. I have been calling the manager on call number every morning and no one has picked up the phone. My summary? Don't rent from here. They will do a cursory initial review and then pick over the car with a fine tooth comb upon return. They will try to charge you extra money regardless of however much evidence you provide. And then when you try to resolve the situation, they will not answer your calls. It's simply not worth the stress. Go anywhere else but here.

    Here's our luxury SUV we reserved for extra money. No refund.

    Is there a policy that you have to have a return flight booked in order to book a reservation or pick up a car? I was told this by a friend and wanted to verify if this is true before possibly going through the hassle of renting a car?

Online support wasn't helpful, but Savanah at the front desk was fantastic--she spoke with her manager and manually applied my status to get me a free upgrade. She was great to work with! I was initially nervous about using the AI scanners because of negative stories online, so I took a full 360-degree video of the car's pre-existing dents before leaving. However, returning the car was incredibly smooth. After filling up the gas tank nearby, I drove through the return scanners, and the drop-off clerk confirmed there was no additional damage. 10/10 experience, just be sure to take a video before you leave for peace of mind!

To add further insult, I got an email saying there was damage to the car and should submit a report. "We understand accidents happen, just fill out this form..." I was advised by an attorney not to do that. Hertz kept sending me email notices until I told them I was consulting an attorney and then they suddenly stopped. Apparently many other people are getting these solicitous messages too in an attempt by new ownership to make more money. I'd previously had incidents like a hertz claiming I hadn't returned the gas full. When I submitted receipts, those messages stopped. What a fraudulent company. I've been a devoted Hertz Gold member for decades but have switched all my business now to National, which has been a delight. Per NYT and other online news sources: Hertz customers have recently reported a surge in unwarranted charges specifically related to a new AI-powered damage scanning system and rigid automated billing for extra hours. These systems often flag minor or "phantom" damage, such as shadows or water reflections, and can automatically charge your card without human review. Shame on you, Hertz.

Upon arrival I struggled a bit to find my way through the terminal to car rental zone, that was going a level down from main terminal, then walking across a passage and then taking elevator to the third floor. When I got the my designated spot, I noticed I got a luxury class car assigned, due to free double upgrade. I went to the nearby window to request a regular SUV and the agent assigned me a Jeep within few seconds. It was a smooth friendly service.

The interior was super clean. All functionalities inside car like A/C, USB port, radio worked perfectly fine. For drop off, it was easy to follow the Rental Return sign to take the car to designated area. Upon exiting the car, an agent processed the return on the spot and sent the receipt to my email.

Then, nearly a week later, Avis suddenly sent us a $3,000 bill claiming the car had been in a collision and that an entire window had been knocked out. Huh? If a whole window had actually been missing when we returned the car, it would have been impossible not to notice. Why did it take weeks to document? Even more suspicious, the mileage shown in Avis's damage photos is three miles higher than when we dropped the car off. The car was clearly driven after it left our possession and before these photos were taken. I am disappoiinted by how this has been handled and will never rent from this location--or Avis--again. If you return a car here, document every inch of it and demand a written inspection before you leave.

    Dollar Car Rental

    First time renting with Dollar Car Rental. Worked out really well (like everything else with our…read morePortland trip). I'm completely aware that car rental car companies are pretty much the same, with price being the most important factor. And the price can vary greatly based on the platform you use to book the order. Another important factor are the rewards gained (like it is for any other credit card purchase). And of course, they are out to make a buck, so incentivize their employees to upsell (insurance, prepay gas, accessories), along with adding on various mandatory surcharges (hidden amongst the myriad of government taxes and fees). So as of this moment, here are the rules I try to follow. -- It matters what platform one books it through. Selection of cars within a class doesn't really matter to me. Prices can vary. Some require prepayment while others pay at time of rental. Never use a third party company specializing in car rentals (e.g. wisecars). And will no longer use car sharing platforms like Turo: too risky. -- Always decline insurance (liability insurance is already included in price; comprehensive/collision can come from credit card used or your home auto insurance policy). Prebuying gas can save you money if you drive the car down to empty. I've learned that is something I no longer have any interest in doing. So now always look for a nearby Costco to fill up before returning. -- loyalty rewards tied to the rental car company itself is irrelevant. That's why rental car company points aren't even tracked as having any value, like airline miles or credit card company points are. In fact, some companies will tack on additional fees if you give them your airline frequent flyer number to get additional points. -- unless one must require a certain number of seats or feature (e.g. a minivan to seat 7, a convertible or 4x4 for Hawaii), getting a compact to intermediate works for us. And in many cases, they will upgrade you to a full size for free (cause that's what is available). -- Using the Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card as the sole payment method because it provided PRIMARY car rental insurance. This is important for me since any damage to the rental car would be handled by Chase first, before your private insurance would.. Chase made a big change on the Sapphire Reserve card where rental car are now only 1% back (unless prepaid on the Chase Travel site, where it is 8% back). -- Reputable Sites to check (this is where a multi-tab, multi-screen set-up helps. No longer use Google) -- Costco Travel (Avis, Alamo, Budget, Enterprise) - 5% back (2% executive). Pay later. -- Delta Cars and Stays (uses the Expedia platform) - 2% back in miles, sometimes gives 1:1 MQDs. Pay later. -- Chase Travel - prepaid. 8% back. But have always found them to be more expensive, but would choose this if competitive. -- Citi Travel - 10% back, but would have to use different card. -- Kayak - just to see what it out there. Ended up booking with Delta, getting a compact for two days for $68. I don't remember the last time getting such a low rate. One thing that can make a big difference in your rental is how long one has to stand in line at the airport rental counter. We got lucky: it was a Saturday so not particularly busy but the Budget/Avis counter had a long line while the Dollar line next door was empty. Just had to present my Driver's License and credit card. Because I was new to Dollar, I went through the 'mandatory' questions: do you want to upgrade? are you sure? OK, I'll upgrade you for free anyway. do you want to buy insurance? do you want to prepay for gas? One thing they did not ask was about toll passes, which is another way they get you. I was given a small packet of papers and directed to take the escalators directly to the 3rd floor where the Dollar cars are located. From there, I was to find the Dollar booth where the attendant handed me the keys. We had gotten a Hybrid Corolla. We ended up driving a lot more for the two days than I intended, and getting 50+ mpg car when gas prices were so high was a big plus. And it felt right, driving it around the Columbia River Valley. Returning the car was easy, following the signs for Dollar into the main parking garage. This time, there was actually an attendant who took the keys from us, mentioned that we had forgotten something (thank you...they must be trained to do that), and gave us helpful directions on how to get to the terminal. A few hours later, the invoice came via email and the pricing was what was quoted.

End of my trip now, I just called to ask about drop offs and the employee said to "fill out the back of the pamphlet" and "drop off the keys where I picked up the keys, in the box". I asked if the box was at the front desk, since I picked up the keys at the front desk. Employee then said the drop off box is "20 feet from the cars". I asked for him to be more specific on where "the box" was & the employee got frustrated, said I was making it "complicated". When I explained that I am asking for a marker to represent where the box will be, (for example "near the elevator") he got emotionally heightened and told me he was going to get a manager to repeat to me the "same exact steps he just told me" because "'there is nothing more to explain aside from "drop it off in a box 20 feet from the car'". When I park in the garage, how will "the box" be 20 feet from the car? There are hundreds of cars on the floor. Whole experience from pick up to drop off has been ridiculous. Disgusting brand representatives at PDX. Never booking again & never recommending. I called to make sure I did Dollar Car Rental's drop off procedures correctly, in order to ensure the safety of their vehicle key. Disappointing experience to end our vacation. Hopefully I find "the box".

Then they tried to rent us a larger truck for more money. If they had a truck for us at 9:00, why wouldn't it still be there at 1:00? Several other customers had similar conversations with the staff while we were waiting.

This place is awful. The cars are dirty. they're never ready. The employees are rude and most of them don't even speak English. If you return your car here even if it's immaculate plan on getting hit with a charge. They hope you don't fight them and you don't notice and you just pay $400 and also plan on your car not being ready and waiting in a long line because they refuse to have more than one person, washing cars and handling rental customers at the same time if Avis and budget are smart, they will take away this franchise. All you have to do is look at the ratings and reviews on the location here and in other review places do not rent or drop off a budget car at this location. You will be disappointed. The family that owns this location should be ashamed of themselves.

    I reserved a vehicle through Thrifty with a written confirmation that my car would be held for up…read moreto 8 hours after my flight's arrival, even in the case of delays. I added my flight information and completed online check-in five days in advance. Everything appeared in order--until I arrived at the Portland Airport rental counter shortly after midnight. Despite Thrifty's clear commitment, I was told by their employee that there were no cars available--not even in a different category. No help was offered, no alternatives were provided, and she simply told me to "try Dollar," which is owned by the same parent company. The only vehicle left at Dollar cost more than twice what I had originally reserved--$1,560.29 vs. $760.91. I had no choice but to accept it or be stranded overnight and miss the wedding I flew to Oregon to attend. The counter was minutes from closing and there was no time to escalate or troubleshoot. What's worse is that Thrifty never disclosed that a "confirmed" reservation could be canceled due to availability. Their policy specifically implies the opposite. If I hadn't followed their instructions and checked in early, or if I hadn't had the means to cover an unexpected $800+ increase, I would have been left in a truly awful situation. This wasn't a simple inconvenience--it was a serious failure to honor written commitments and borderline monopolistic given that they are owned by the same parent company. If Thrifty cannot guarantee reservations or support customers in urgent moments, they should not be in business.

We rarely book flight+car rental together and…read moreinstead, rent a car at our flight's destination- because I don't think I've ever found booking through the airline to be the best deal. But in comes Thrifty. Our flight was perfect. And for a 'hassle-free' Labor Day weekend visiting our daughter in PDX, we figured going with the car combo was the best choice. No. The line was horrendously long. I heard people on line telling their families waiting on the side, "it's a 1-2hr wait". All I thought was, 'I wonder why?' There was no such thing about empathy towards customers who not only booked their rental but actually PAID for them already. Hubs lost it. The 3 aśśholes sitting behind the counter looked like bobbleheads and couldn't soften the blow to offer a legit explanation to everyone waiting a hour. So wait, you mean to tell me Shitty Thrifty that: (1)I'm waiting on line for a hour, (2) you don't blast an announcement of any kind to EVERYONE waiting right then and there (3) then you tell me the wait is yet ANOTHER hour to get our car rental AND, it's not even guaranteed that we get the car we paid for (4) then you blatantly say that you offered those rentals that were previously PAID FOR to walk-ups??? Come on man- that's not the way you do business. At a car rental? This has been the perfect example of 'you get what you paid for'- with their crummy and unacceptable service.

I rented from them many times for Many Oregon road trips and can't recommend them enough. I haven't been in Oregon in a while and I miss them actually. There are not many companies where you get a person on the phone or by email instead of a robot anymore, and this place is one of them. What a gem. I will always use their service when I get the chance. Thank you Steve and Norma.

    I don't have a credit card, I like to keep it cash after the financial crash of '08. (I also don't…read moreown a cellphone which means I'm used to being treated like a weirdo) usually this posed no issue for me whatsoever -- even when renting a car. That's because places like Budget rent-a-car have let me rent vehicles in the past by just letting them place a $250 hold on funds in my account, in addition to prepaying my rental. Except this time. For some reason (I think because it's been so long since I had a credit card, that my rating is low now due to no recent credit history) they denied my ability to rent from them. But not until I had already made the reservation and prepaid the charges, weeks before. When I showed up to the rental counter (the day before my family and I were to leave for Disneyland) Budget told us no go! Ugh. Our little 2004 Kia Rio is fine for the occasional grocery shopping trip around town but with no AC, manual steering and some pretty uncomfortable seats, we really didn't want to take our chances in the heat on the grapevine driving down to Cali. We were so distraught and trying to brainstorm options (like asking a friend to take the risk of renting it in their name and letting us use it for the trip -- something we REALLY didn't want to do.) That's when the girls at the Budget counter told us about Steve from Crown Auto Rental. They gave us his number and even encouraged us to call him from their phone (I think they felt sorry for our little one, sitting dejected in the corner of their lobby.) We called Steve and he happened to be close by. He quickly crunched some numbers and came up with several options for us for our trip, no credit card needed. Steve picked us up from Budget and took us back to his office on 105th and NE Sandy. He offered us a mini-van and a Taurus, for just a couple hundred more than our pre-paid Budget reservation (still $200 less than a last minute Budget res at the same time.) He took a $150 hold on funds (instead of Budget's $250) as a deposit on the car and he let us take it out of state (an exception he doesn't normally make.) Basically, Steve and Norma saved our whole vacation (and we hadn't had one in 8 years!) the car was great, ran well and got us to and from our destination in one piece and we didn't have to run around awkwardly asking our friends to put their financial livelihoods on the line for our vacation. These are good people -- with good intentions and a smart business model and I highly recommend them to anyone who has trouble renting from a traditional car company or anyone who likes to support a local business with a heart. I know Crown will be our first call the next time we need a car. I can't say enough good stuff. *Oh! and they promptly refunded the $150 hold once we returned the car in good condition. Awesome experience all around.
