Local staff was helpful but Enterprise overall are making the rental process more stressful, trying…read moreto secure a vehicle. For example, I had an emergency I had a need for a rental vehicle. They accepted my debit card, which was great as I didn't have enough of a balance on my credit card. However, when accepting paystubs as one of their qualifiers to use my debit card, they refused my VA & SSDI disability letters as proof of income. I don't work. My verified form of income is from the federal government, but that's not good enough for Enterprise, apparently. I had to jump thru hoops, when I was already stressed out, to provide other documentation that would satisfy them. Also, I've been renting from Enterprise over the course of MANY years & in the past, they would take a deposit. Not only have they upped their deposit amount, but now they also charge you the deposit AND cost of the rental upfront. It used to be, you pay a deposit, when you return the vehicle, they deduct the charge for the vehicle out of your deposit, or you pay the difference if it cost more, if you so choose. They put an almost $700 charge on my checking acct for 3 days of a rental & my rent check bounced because of it. So not very happy that I'm potentially facing an eviction notice because of that. There's other rental companies out there, I might be more inclined to use over the nonsense Enterprise puts you thru to rent now. It's honestly not worth the aggravation.
*The 1* review is for Enterprise itself, it is in no reflection of the local staff, who were professional Enterprise has become such a scammy racket, I'm absolutely DISGUSTED by this company I used for YEARS. I recently received an email abt missed tolls from the rental I had. Now, I had my transponder in the vehicle w/me. Enterprise did NOT give me a proper way of displaying it, like in the past. I tried putting the transponder on the dashboard, but it kept sliding around, so I put it in the center console. My transponder picked up some tolls, others it didn't. Now, I have no problem paying for missed tolls. In fact, I went down to the toll authority in person in an attempt to have them charged to my transponder. I wasn't able to do that, because they had no outstanding tolls tied to that rental vehicle. Enterprise paid the tolls but then assessed me a $20 fine on top of less than $8 worth of missed tolls!! So I called Enterprise. Literally got bounced around back & forth being told I needed to call this #, to get THAT person on the line telling me I needed to call the FIRST # I called! Finally got somebody else, who told me that the State of Illinois assesses them a fine for missed tolls, which is absolute bull. If I miss a toll, I can go online & pay it & I'm not charged a fine. The woman I spoke with told me there were 5 tolls that were missed, that added up to $7.70. 5 tolls, that's it. She sent me (via email) a breakdown of the missed tolls. I'm in the process of disputing the "fine," which is a crock, as I said before that I wouldn't be charged a fine by the state for paying a missed toll, so why is Enterprise trying to feed me that bull? Especially since those tolls would've never been missed if they gave me a way to properly display my transponder in the first place. The kicker to all of this? I was told I had 5 missed tolls. FIVE. That's what came up on the history when the woman I was on the phone with pulled it up for that vehicle. So why did I get yet ANOTHER email yesterday abt MORE "missed tolls" & charging me yet ANOTHER $3 & some odd cents? I feel like I'm going to be in a neverending cycle of Enterprise stealing money out of my account for "missed tolls." You know what the kicker to all of this is? I'm a disabled veteran. I'm on a fixed income w/my disability compensation & Enterprise has no qualms abt thieving from a disabled veteran. Let that sink in before you think abt renting from this company. They lost me as a customer & I used them for DECADES. I am doing more back & forth disputing these charges. Tolls that are 75¢, Enterprise is charging me $1.50 & $1.60 for those same tolls. I sent them proof of the tolls my transponder actually picked up. They're running me in circles w/excuses. At this point, I'm abt to file a complaint w/the Better Business Bureau. This is no way to run a business. Enterprise NEVER used to be this way, I don't know what changed, but I am sharing this experience w/EVERYONE, especially fellow veterans. I'm appalled that this company willingly scams veterans, or anybody for that matter, but scamming a disabled veteran is exceptionally abhorrent. Never using Enterprise again. They are NOT the only rental company out there, they need to remember that. And to recap, this review is no way a reflection on local staff, it's Enterprise itself.
