I rented a car from Tappahannock for a one way trip to the airport. It was a TRAIN WRECK on the pick up. When I arrived I was NOT happy. But the person checking me in asked how it went and attentively listened as I cooked off steam. He then meaningfully asked how he could fix it. I was flippant but he was insistent and at the end he knocked it out of the park. Everyone has some bad occurrences, it's how they handle them that matters and this place did right by me. I'll be a consistent customer of the RVA Enterprise because of this person. I only wished I had gotten their name to give them kudo's to corporate. read more

Just arrived at 1am here at the airport and the girl at the counter saw that there was a need, decided to stay til 1:30am and asked the team if they would be willing to stay and they were all willing. That shows me their commitment to serve walk ins and it should be highlighted. They all made this experience smooth especially considering arriving so late in the morning. Thank you to everyone who was there and willing to stay the extra 30 Minutes you truly blessed us! read more

The whole experience was horrible. The staff is rude and the manager is even worse. They refuse to answer questions. It is as if they all hate their job. I would not use them to get a rental. HERTZ was much more helpful and nice. That is who you should get your rental through and NOT Enterprise! read more

Completely let down by Enterprise. I booked my rental 2 months ago, only to get a phone call 30 minutes before I was to arrive informing me that it was unavailable. I have been renting from them for years, and lately the service is unreliable. I had 6 kids with me who were all looking forward to a road trip TOGETHER to Disney. Instead they offered me 2 separate vehicles at the same price, at a time when gas is almost $5 a gallon, I now have to spend more money on fuel than fun. It is an 11 hour drive and now I have no way to give one driver a break. That puts our safety at risk. Thanks a lot ENTERPRISE. read more

I agree they don't even deserve a one except the guy helping us was very friendly. We have waited 45 minutes and still don't have our car. We reserved it over a month ago. Don't use enterprise. read more

This piece of s#$t company mislead us on the way you pay to rent a car. We were told that a $300.00 deposit was needed, payed with a credit card. Once you return the car undamaged, not smoked in, etc.,, you'd get your 300 back. What they didn't tell us is they require a credit card for the whole bill. They WOULD NOT ACCEPT A DEBIT CARD!!!!! They wouldn't work with us. Here we are, my wife and I, stranded at this shite hole, after spending 14 hours on an Amtrak train with our luggage and other bags and stuff. It didn't phase them one bit. They are scheisters. Not to mention their upselling strategy trying to scare you into buying their insurance is absurd. The girl didn't recognise our insurance company, Ohio mutual insurance, and said that they probably wouldn't honor any claim because " they are in Ohio". No numbnuts. I ultimately had to call my sister and brother in law to come pick us up in this 92 degree heat. Only had to wait almost 2 hours. Thanks Enterprise you worthless, pathetic, pieces of excrement! read more

ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I made a confirmed reservation, provided my credit card information, and arrived on time -- only to be told there were no cars available. When I explained that I needed to drive to New York City that night for an important meeting and could lose my job if I didn't make it, the representative, Chris, dismissively said the best she could do was call me an Uber home. I honestly thought she was joking. Instead of offering any real solution, Chris was rude, disrespectful, and completely unprofessional. The lack of accountability and basic courtesy is shocking. This is by far the worst customer service experience I have ever had, and it's an absolute embarrassment to the Enterprise brand read more

Enterprise will rent you a car to go from MA to VA, but if your only visiting, keep the car because when you try to leave and go home they black out for state to state rentals. now stuck in another state with no way home. so now homeless in a state where I know nothing about. Worst experience will never use them again. read more

I was in a minor car accident and the person that hit me wanted me to use a repair shop that was in a remote area. I called Enterprise to book the reservation to rent a car. They called me the day before I was supposed to be picked up and told me that I was outside of their 5 mile radius. this went on for five different location locations I called corporate only to find out that they are located in the Philippines zero customer service they do not care about their clientele read more

I swear They don't even deserve one star. I've been renting cars for about 10 years and this is the worst branch I've dealt with. They accused me of breaking the car window and I received it broken, but I didn't realize it from the beginning. I didn't see it, and when I saw it, I called them several times, and when I didn't find a solution, I went to them to replace it, but I didn't get anything. They are failures. read more

Enterprise Rent-A-Car - Car Rental Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

people love to leave negative ratings for car rental services, but this was really really pleasant. I have no complaints. They are really nice. I rented a car while I was at the airport last minute. The price was affordable. The car was great service perfect. Definitely will use you guys again. read more

Reserved a vehicle a week prior to arriving. Everything was all ready to go & had 2 car seats all set up. Process was extremely easy since I did everything online and just met up with the front desk to show me the vehicle. Left within 5 min. The guy was nice enough to give us a bigger vehicle than what we had reserved for. Amazing service here! read more

We were in Virginia for a weekend. To roam around Virginia I booked the car online from Enterprise which was at Virginia Airport. After we landed I went to the Enterprise and was greeted by Stephanie on the counter. I told her my name and the reservation id. She checked it and i got the mid size car which was Kia K5. The car was clean and the gas was full. The car looked good for the trip. But the problem with the car was that the gas cover was jammed and i had to pull it to open it. It was tough with the gas especially when filling the gas. read more

My partner and I were t-boned in Raleigh, NC and had to rent a car to get back home to Richmone, Va. The Enterprise in Raleigh upgraded us to an SUV for free as they didn't have any sedans. Unfortunately, the Jeep they gave us was incredibly uncomfortable for my injuries so when we got back to Richmond we went to switch it out for something more comfortable. The Byrd International Airport staff was amazing, especially Andrés (apologies if I spelled that wrong). They only had two vehicles available but he let me sit in both to see which would be more comfortable and very thoughtfully minimized the amount of walking I would have to do on a sprained ankle. He made what could have been a really frustrating experience into something easy. read more

My reservation was for 8am made two days earlier. At 8am car needs to be cleaned so I just sat for 20 minutes while that was done (not a great job, window still hazy). Of course the car only had 3/10 of a tank of gas so I've got to figure that one out on the return. These things are just the result of laziness and poor customer service, which is sad to see these days. Having the car ready and fueled is such an easy thing to do to make you customer's experience a happy one. read more

Travel weekly. Unclear why you have 1 person, checking in for Alamo, National and Enterprise? But yet you have 2 people OUTSIDE in Enterprise garage, that could be doing the same as other airports and probably twice as fast? Staffing issues need to be remedied. The bottle neck is your counter. read more

We have had the WORST experience ever with this company and particularly this branch. I had reserved a car about 3 weeks prior to a roadtrip me and my husband (both Europeans) wanted to take. I had previously looked up if there could be any issues with paying with debt card as we don't have a physcial mastercard, only a virtual one. It did not show a solution for people being from the EU and not living in the US, but during the reserving process it did not highlight any specifics. After having reserved and gotten my reservation confirmed, I pro-actively called the customer service, describing them in detail our situation and after 3 different calls (as they were not able to solve it at the first either as this scenario - Europeans travelling in the US and doing a trip where we wouldn't give back the car in the same location and with the card situations we had) and finally got the confirmation that if I were to bring my latest paycheck, we would be good. Also about the doubt about not having an INTL driver's license (as they won't give us one in Spain as Spanish driver's license are good all over the world) they told us we were going to be good. Trusting in their word, we then went to the rental place on the day of our rental and that's where the nightmare started: We waited 2 HOURS (!!!!!) trying to resolve the communication issue between Customer Support and their branch as the branch simply would not accept our debit card or the European driver's license and that although we kept calling with Customer Support while we were there, they wrote them an official statmenet that we were good to go from their side, but the branch decided that they would still not give us the car. This meant that we had to miss out on our road trip and lose the Airbnb reservation we had made (lost over 100$) - the only time we'll ever have the chance to see this lovely area as we're not going to come back here. And then to top it off, I was promised to get a call-back or email within the next 2 days to get a compensation for this terrible experience - this is now 18 days ago. I actually even called them again to tell them about the issue and they told me that the branch would email me guaranteed within one week. That has now also been 1 week and nothing. If I could give minus stars, I'd give them. What a terrible customer support throughout the whole thing. DEFINITELY BOOK WITH ANOTHER COMPANY! read more

Hate to leave a poor review but management needs to do something about staffing issues. Should not have to wait an hour to check In and then wait 15 more minutes to actually pick up the car. Yes I understand it was graduation weekend. Yall should have been prepared. I had my reservation months in advance. Having one employee, bless her heart, check in for Alamo, enterprise, and national is just plain wrong. The employee working the counter on 5/21 needs to be commended and given a raise. Poor rating is for the staffing and management. It's not okay to tell the customers we have cars but they aren't clean. read more

Avoid Enterprise in Richmond! They do not honor their reservations! Our business needed a van to transport 6 people to an educational facility. We showed up at the scheduled time and were told they had no vehicles. Our reservation was predicated on the return of a particular vehicle. No attempt was made to locate ANY other vehicle except, oh here is a number you can call to maybe get a vehicle. No apology, no offer to find a vehicle for us. We luckily found one a hertz. No critical thinking, no value of customer whatsoever! There were 20 people behind us. Wonder what they were going to do? We will not do business with enterprise in Richmond again. read more

Why have I never rented from the airport location before? They're cheaper, have longer hours and tend to be super efficient because they're accustomed to people in a rush. The staff is also very professional. BUT they will definitely charge you by the hour if you return even a few minutes late turning in, lol. read more

The staff is mostly pleasant every time I go here but dang the car selection is the worst. One Monday I flew in, they had two cars to choose from. Neither of which I would ever choose. The next time I flew in, I selected a full size SUV when I reserved and they tried to give me a mini van. All of the cars I have received had had high mileage and seem very worn. For the amount you pay for rental cars I think enterprise/National could do better. I wish enterprise operated more like their sister company, National. My company doesn't allow National anymore :( ugghhh I miss them! Finding the rental car place is easy, no bus or tram needed. Walk out of the terminal and you'll be directed either main floor or up an escalator depending on who you're renting with. Dropping off also easy, word of warning tho--there is no gas station near the airport. So plan accordingly. ( at least not from the south) read more

Do not use Enterprise in Mechanicsville Va. Absolute worst location. On more than one occasion, on the day of pickup, I have received a call saying "Sorry we don't have any cars available." This is after a reservation was made more than two weeks in advance. Either you are a rental car company that allows reservations or you're not. Poorly managed location. Really not even a one star rating is applicable. read more

Do yourself a favor and click to the next car rental. Prior to November 1st I was researching car rentals for an up coming 5 day trip to Richmond VA. On November 8, 2019, I booked a "Ford Edge or Similar" and a car seat as I was traveling w/my One year old son. On Thanksgiving Day we paid for our vehicle and headed to the rental garage to get our vehicle. When we got down there I was told they only had a Dodge Ram or a Ford Mustang but no more car seats. A car without a car seat was completely useless when I had a one year old with me. This left us with NO means of transportation. I asked if they could ask another company and was specifically told "they don't do that". All other rentals were either closed or sold out. This has completely ruined our stay. read more

Expedia directed me to an off-airport Enterprise location 1.2 miles away at a lower cost, even though I had selected the RIC airport. Great rate, but inconvenient to say the least. Fortunately the Enterprise desk manager recognized my dilemma and offered to match the rate as he had an available car. Much appreciated. Needless to say, I'll be booking through Enterprise.com going forward. read more

Horrible service. Had to wait in line for an hour after landing because there was only one person working the counter in the airport. We finally get to the parking garage only to be told there's a 2 hour wait for a car! Guy says it's because 4 people called off?? And if we leave to go eat we lose our place in line. There's 10 people ahead of us waiting....Terrible! Do better read more

DO NOT RENT FROM HERE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EXPERIENCED IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS HANDS DOWN!! we travel often and do not want to put miles on our vehicles so we rent with full coverage never had an issue beside the last 2 rentals. First incident the guy at the counter was rude and asking unnecessary questions to try and make me rent another vehicle, after I booked on an app in advance process should have take less 30 mins guy was to lazy to get the rental I requested so we ended up waiting an additional 20 mins for him to get vehicle from second level. Next incident takes the cake rented a vehicle for 2 days 2019 Ford 150 it broke down over heated on second day on the New Jersey turnpike! With full coverage because it's a private highway we were told by enterprise to pay for the 225 tow and they would refund us with no issue. Absolutely did not happen we have been calling for 2 weeks getting the run around no one has reached we are being told the regional manager is suppose to call us NEVER HAPPENED. Save yourself from being in a major accident rent from a company who cares about the safety of there patrons. Also the ford 150 2019 is on a safety recall for the reason as we broke down! We could have been in a major accident thank you God for watching over us. No thanks to enterprise save your families DO NOT RENT FROM THEM read more

STAY AWAY FROM ENTERPRISE 4701 W. BROAD STREET RICHMOND, VA I reserved a car from Enterprise on October 14, 2023, to pick up today for my trip out of town on October 21, 2023. I called the location to inform them that I was on my way in a Lyft. Unfortunately, enroute to Enterprise, they informed me that they didn't have a vehicle available because it is homecoming for Virginia Union. Well I am an alum too. They claimed that they had called me. However, this was a lie as they called my old number instead of the updated one on my reservation. I checked my call log and there was no call from Enterprise. My updated number is on the reservation. I spoke to the manager and expressed my disappointment in their poor customer service. I had made a reservation a week ago, on October 14. She has a "smart at the mouth" attitude stating "when Enterprise call you should answer the phone." Her comment was unnecessary and unprofessional. I have report her to corporate and expect to be reimburse for my Lyft ride that cost me $12 for nothing. This is the second time they have done this to me. I have been an customer since 2015 and will never give them any more of my business They have ruined my Birthday Celebration weekend. read more

Booked three months but when it's time to pickup up they said they don't have the vehicle you asked for

We have a large family function and made reservations one month ago and paid in full. They call today and tell us that don't have the SUV we need while we are airborne and enroute. Why make a reservation?????? Why prepay????????? No empathy No apology No more business especially from our businesses. Done with Alamo, National and Enterprise for the ultimate fail! read more

After I turned in my rental car at Hertz I followed the hash marked walkway to the terminal. It lead behind a row of Enterprise vans and Jeep's. Enterprise had all of the tailgates open almost hit my head on one of the vans hatchbacks and a keep had its swinging back doors open, leaving ~2' clearance between it and the wall. Okay n acceptable. Also if the airport wants customers to use the walkway, clean it! read more

On May 19th we rented a vehicle. We had mechanical issues the same day and we had to return it for another suv. We met Brandon when we check in after a very long flight and he was very nice and had excellent customer service. When we had to return the vehicle the next day Brandon was there to meet us and quickly resolved our issue with an immediate replacement. This service was definitely above and beyond. read more

I would give the 4713 W. Broad St. location 10 stars if possible. Bonita at the reception area went the extra 10 miles out of her way to help me. I lost my cell phone earlier and she helped contact my insurance company and the insurance company of the driver who damaged my vehicle. She would not stop until the matter was resolved and her professionalism really made me a life long customer of Enterprise in the future. A very clean reception area, exceptionally clean cars and detailed attention to everyone who walks in the door. I drove an electric Volvo for the first time and was really impressed with everything about it. No gas required when I return it. A super nice experience. read more

I travel a lot for business and normally I'm quite pleased with Enterprise for my rentals. The company usually hires bright and customer-friendly staff who take steps to make the pick-up process a quick and pleasant one. But when I flew into RIC on 4/25/2022, I had a very different experience. I went to the rental counter in the airport and stood in line for quite some time before I was called up, even though there were only two customers ahead of me. OK, that's normal. I was then sort of surprised that I had to give all sorts of personal info again that was already on the reservation confirmation I received from the corporate website. OK, that's probably a corporate glitch. But I can still remember the clerk telling me that all I needed to do was to go to the garage and grab my keys. Happy to hear that this would be quick as the line and the info dump took more time than expected, I trotted off to the garage. There I found a line of clearly unhappy customers but I had no idea of why they were there. I just assumed that they weren't as smart as I was to check-in at the counter inside the terminal. There was a guy inside the booth talking to someone, but no sign or anything else to explain what I was supposed to do to be able to "grab my keys". I waited until they were finished talking, presented my paperwork, and expected to get the aforementioned keys and be on my way to my appointment. Wrong. The guy informed me that I would have to queue up behind the 10 customers who looked pretty silly standing all by themselves in the parking lot. I explained that I had already checked in and needed only to grab the keys, but that didn't count. So for the next 25 minutes I stood in my second Enterprise line of the day. What helped pass the time was the incredible sight of a Enterprise agent walking slowly back from the far end of the lot, taking the next customer in line, and then walking slowly with the customer to the car which was, of course, all the way at the far end of the lot. While there, the agent would engage the customer in a lengthy conversation that was largely consumed with trying to entice the customer to buy coverages and options that the customer had already waived off at the terminal counter. Then the agent would walk slowly around the car, chit chat more with the customer, then walk slowly all the way back from the far end of the garage, stop and chat with a fellow agent, then grab the next customer. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat... Though I saw many agents scurrying around, apparently only this one agent was deemed worthy of vehicle hand-off duties. I finally got an agent (a different one) to take me to my vehicle. We start doing the upsell dance and I declined, which I think didn't make for the beginnings of a friendly relationship. Given the time constraints, I took out my cell and started snapping photos of the vehicle body so that I'd have some proof of the condition when delivered. Pretty standard stuff. Because of a previous rental when such pictures were dismissed by the agency (not Enterprise) as being taken after I had damaged the car, my standard practice is to make sure an employee was at least partly in one of the photos with the vehicle I'm about to pick up. This agent took incredible offense to that shot, asking rhetorically if he had given me permission to take a photo of him and then answering his own question that he had not. I apologized and said I didn't mean any insult but that I would delete the offending photo right before his eyes. I did so to diffuse the situation because he was very upset (maybe he's in a witness protection program?) and I just wanted to get the hell out of there, but it would have been a more pleasant experience if he just asked me politely to refrain from photographing him and would I please delete the photo? Not a good day at Enterprise at the Richmond Airport. Nick in Palm Springs read more

Again, one start because I had to give it something. My previous review was replied to and asked to send my information. I thought they would at least take the time to pretend to care. I guess that was to make things look better because I have yet to have ANYONE from there reach back out to me. It's all good Lesson learned and I will Never step foot back in any Enterprise Rent a Car and neither will anyone I know or have any say about will read more

This was my first time renting with Enterprise and I won't be recommending them anytime soon. It's great that they don't charge a full extra day if you have the car for 25 hours. BUT... What's the point of a loyalty program if I can't get an expedited pickup? This one is on me though for not reading about the program. But waiting in line for 20+ minutes because there's only one guy manning the phones and checking out cars is pretty poor. What really killed my Enterprise experience though is when I dropped off the minivan. I pulled up into the usual line and was ready to walk away like any other rental spot. The lone employee handling the returns asked me to park the car for her. What??? Backing up a minivan into a narrow garage spot was the last thing I wanted to do at the end of a long work day. If she was hotter and I was a guy, maybe I would've parked it for her. Instead, I let her know that I was afraid that I'd get a ding so it'd be better if she parked it. Is a two star review harsh? No because I've experienced better at a far lower price. Tips: - Don't go straight to the garage. You need to check in at the understaffed desk in the baggage claim area. - Don't rent a Garmin unit out there. The Garmin never connected so I needed one of my coworkers to navigate through her iPhone. read more

once again, Enterprise Richmond Airport gave me a great compact car for our OBX vacation, at an awesome price ( 244 for 15 days ). Easy in, easy out, no hassles. give them a try.PS.. join the loyalty program and skip the counter. read more

Enterprise TV commercials: "We pick you up and get you going..." Sure, if you rent from anywhere but this Enterprise. My problem with THIS Enterprise location despite having later hours....NO one-way rentals. Do you actually expect me to rent a car from you to go home to NoVA and then come back the next day to return it? A pox on your families for not allowing one-way rentals. I'm not Bi! Not Bi-directional! :-P You guys weren't as rude as the other Enterprises we spoke to, so you get a bit more on the star side. Whatever the case, Captain Kirk would be disappointed in all you Enterprise donkeys.... read more

What the other reviews said about the counter being unmanned or not enough manned is correct. I went to the counter and waited while in line for 20+ minutes behind 4 other customers cause there was only one guy. Plus I had to pee but I was by myself so I could not get out of line for fear of losing my spot. It sucked. But they were the only ones that were busy so I guess that means that they have the best prices in Richmond. So I was willing to wait 20 minutes to save over $100.00. I got a great car getting it and checking it back in was easy. They also provided me with a good map of the area. I will use them again if the price is right. But be prepared to wait to get your vehicle. Other than that is it okay. Nothing to spacial. read more

I'm writing to tell the World not to rent from Enterprise Richmond Airport. I had a long standing rental reservation with them for Sept. 19th. When I arrived I was told "sorry we have no more cars". Many other folks were in line as well, whose reservations had not been honored. I had to go across the hall to Budget where I ended up having to settle for a car which was $400 more than my Enterprise reservation. I've tried to call this airport Enterprise facility numerous times but no one answers. I've called Enterprise Headquarters & cannot speak to a manager who can make this right for me. I will never rent with any Enterprise again due to this horrific customer service! read more
