My insurance company set up a reservation for me 1 week in advance and provided me with a…read morereservation number. Remember Seinfeld's routine about rental car reservations? Deja Vu! Enterprise was supposed to pick me up at the body shop where I was dropping off my car at 9:00 am. Didn't happen. At 9:15 I called the shop. They had forgotten all about me. They said they would leave to come get me right away. Finally Picked up at 9:45 and driven to the 7700 Park Blvd location. Even though Enterprise called me to confirm my reservation last week and had gathered all my info at that time, telling me all I needed was my drivers license and a credit card on the day of the rental, they wanted all my info AGAIN as if they hadn't already gotten it when they called me to confirm. I had to provide my policy number, my deductible, my address, two different phone numbers (which was quite a trick because I only have one), my Drivers license, and my credit card for a deposit. All info they already had (Except the credit card number, I don't hand that out over the phone). The attendant took me out to look at a car. The first thing the attendant did was pop the trunk to show me the spare tire. No Spare Tire. The attendant said I didn't need one. I said I did. I can just imagine the hassles I would have to go through if I had a flat. Went back inside and waited 1/2 hour for them to wash, groom, and fill the tank of a newly returned vehicle. I have a 4 door sedan and that is what I wanted to rent. I ended up with a 4 door Hyundai Tucson. Finally left the Enterprise lot at 11:00 am after 2 hours of frustration.

I was at the mechanic by 925 and waited until 945 to call and inquire if they were on the way to be told "I didn't know you needed a ride" It was clearly on the confirmation. He demanded the address and I told him you have it there, I don't know I am waiting outside. I got upset and used a bad word, so it was ok to for him to hang up and cancel my reservation. Luckily my mechanic is a wonderful human and expedited my repairs. I was stranded anyway so I ended up waiting there a couple hours thus saving money and getting my car back quicker. I will be calling HERTZ next time. NEVER TRUST ENTERPRISE!!!!

At about 10:30 am on 11/26, I called the pick up location to see if I could come a few minutes early to pick up the van. The man who answered responded that they do not have a van for me. I asked what happened and he didn't know but that they don't have one for me. I asked what am I supposed to do? I have a trip planned and items ready to be loaded into the van. His response was cold as he said "What do you want me to do? I can't make one appear". He suggested I call the Clearwater location on Ulmerton Road. When I asked for their phone number he just said "Google it". I called and did speak to a very nice lady who explained that this can happen from time to time if inventory isn't planned but should be communicated several days to a week before pickup. Unfortunately she did not have a van for me and didn't understand why they told me to call her. She said that I should call the 1-800 number and someone in inventory can probably help. I did and was able to get a 12' truck (much bigger than I needed or wanted and very fuel inefficient). I had to go 28 miles out of my way to pick up the truck too. What also frustrates me is that I got several emails from Laura Gangnier reminding me to get insurance because most personal car policies don't cover truck rental. I got an email from her at 7:45 am the morning I was supposed to pick up the truck. Why is she emailing me if they don't even have the van I reserved?

They gave us the "carfax" (a different car report company that gives you the same amount of juicy details), negotiated for replacing a mirror in the car I ended up picking, stayed late to assist us in our decision, and followed up with us. On top of that, they honored the verbal trade-in value for my previous car. This location does not have the classic car collection of Gulf to Bay- definitely more modern cars, some luxury, some muscle, some SUVs. But it was within my price range, after the trade in. The two cars I narrowed down to were both sellihg at their Kelley Blue Book value- what a wonderful surprise! They did not talk down to me as a woman, kept me in the loop, and were straight talkers. Do come here if you're looking for something nice and affordable. I love my new car, it's been a month with it. Thanks to John Anderson and manager Terry.

I got a receipt via email which told me what would be charged to my American Express. Period I happen to be looking at my American Express statement three or four days later and noticed that I was charged $200 more than what this statement said. I contacted budget via email the next day. I was sent a form letter tailored to this situation. I've been charged extra. We went back-and-forth with emails. A week later, I was finally told why there was an extra charge.. The Largo budget staff said that there were ashes in the car and it smelled like smoke. I am a non-smoker! I get headaches when I'm in a car that has the smoke odor. Therefore, I would have returned the car if I noticed the smoke smell. My latest email told me to call the claims office. This is a week after I became aware of the situation and told a few times that after their investigation, the $200 extra cleaning fee charge was appropriate. I will repeat, I am a non-smoker and did not leave ashes and a smoky smell in the rental car! I have wondered if this is some sort of scam to boost business income at this location.
