I have been an Enterprise customer for over 25 years and hold Platinum status, which I originally…read moreearned while living in my hometown of Manhattan before relocating to North Carolina in 2022.
I rent vehicles weekly and rely on Enterprise regularly.
I rented for about six months at the Monroe location and have now been renting from the Indian Trail location for the past three years.
While renting in Monroe, I experienced extremely rude behavior from the branch manager, which became serious enough that I escalated the issue by emailing Enterprise executive leadership.
The resolution at the time was to transfer my account to the Indian Trail branch.
The current branch manager at the Indian Trail location actually came from the Monroe branch and has been professional and has tried to work with me.
We have built a good rapport and he has made efforts to help when situations arise, especially since I rent weekly at a high rate.
However, there have still been several frustrating issues. Recently, I was hospitalized with extremely high blood pressure (254/128) and the branch manager was aware of my BP situation.
During that time the branch manager emailed me on Monday 3/2 and Tuesday 3/3, but I was in the hospital and unable to respond.
I later learned that the area manager, Cody, instructed the branch to attempt to pick up the vehicle, however i was in the hopsital and wasnt aware.
I only learned about the pickup attempt when I went into the branch on Friday 3/6 to rewrite my contract.
I have paid faithfully for the past four years and have rented consistently without breaks in my contracts.
I am a reliable weekly renter and a long-term customer, which you would think is exactly the kind of customer a company would want to retain.
Unfortunately, I have received more dirty vehicles than clean ones over time from both branches.
I usually arrive after work and it is often dark outside, it can be difficult to see interior stains when I first receive the vehicle.
I pay on average about $325 per week for these rentals. While I understand that my current situation requires me to rent weekly for now, paying that amount and receiving vehicles that are dirty, unreliable, or poorly maintained is not acceptable.
Enterprise expects customers to pay for their rentals, which I have done faithfully for years. However, they are receiving my money while I am sometimes placed in vehicles that are dirty, not well maintained, or simply not reliable.
On one occasion I was even in a situation where a vehicle issue almost led to an accident.
When I arrived at the Indian Trail branch around 5:40 PM on Friday after work, there were already several customers ahead of me while I waited to rewrite my contract.
I was placed in a vehicle that appeared acceptable in the dark, but the next morning I realized the car was extremely dirty with visible stains throughout the interior.
I had to clean the vehicle myself on Saturday. Paying for this in full is unacceptable.
I also went to another Enterprise branch on Saturday(today) to get assistance connecting Apple CarPlay.
The staff at that branch immediately noticed how dirty the vehicle was and commented on it. They were very helpful and assisted me with the CarPlay setup, and one of the employees even suggested that I consider doing business with their branch and provided me with his card.
Enterprise has always been a company I trusted, which is why I have remained a customer for so many years.
Given my long history with Enterprise and my Platinum status, I would welcome someone from Enterprise corporate or regional leadership reviewing this situation and contacting me so it can be addressed appropriately.
As a Platinum member and a customer of more than 25 years who rents weekly and spends thousands of dollars annually with Enterprise, I hope the company will review this situation carefully because I would prefer to remain a loyal customer if these concerns can be addressed.
