Worst experience. We called for our 9:30 pre-reserved pick up as soon as they opened at 7:30 am,…read moreper the national reservation agent instructions. The person at this branch said it was too early to request the pick up, and to call back 30 minutes beforehand. I started calling at 9 a.m. and could never get through to anyone. I would be on hold until I was disconnected for being on hold for too long. After this happened a couple times I called the national number. I was put on hold while they tried to reach the local branch, only for a new agent to come on and for me to start the process all over. The national agent couldn't get through to the office either, and said they would leave a message on their system for the local branch to call us back. As you can probably guess, they never called us back. We needed this car to leave on a day trip out of town and now, four days later, we have still not received a call back! We luckily had no faith and booked the car with another company. Had we waited, our entire day would have been ruined. As it is, we were greatly delayed! I worked in Enterprise briefly and I can tell you that reserving a car means nothing. I understand that they can get busy, but not being reachable Whatsoever, even by the national company, is absurd. I've never had a problem with Enterprise in the United States, but I've heard horror stories about how they operate in Montreal after comparing notes.

Pros : - Cheaper than other car rental agencies…read more- Staff can be arranging when you want to change the car - Booking without credit card Cons : - VERY old (used) cars : usually over 200 000 km ! - Manual transmission can be hard to handle - No car insurance included in the price as displayed when booking online (add 20$/day if not included in the credit card insurance) - Not sure if technical maintenance is operated on the cars... Conclusion : - OK for 1 or 2 days if you drive around in Montreal, but don't go with this auto rental agency if you want to drive outside the city !

I had a terrible experience with this company. The first time they gave me a car with 200000 Km and…read morewith AC broken, the car was not safe and well maintained at all. The second time, they gave me a minivan (a Kia Rondo of 2007 with 100000 km). On top of being an old car, it had the engine alert sign on (they said it was for Tyre pressure) and an alert message to change oil. These signs were permanently ACTIVE, so that I could not be notified if anything else went wrong. Also, After one day of travel we noticed a piece of plastic in the front of the car that was loose. This piece was covering the steering pipe. We went to a garage (we had to travel a lot to reach one) and they found out that the pipe was completely broken. This was a known issue and only a temporary fixing was applied by the owner: the car they gave us was seriously damaged and we lost one day of rental (and one day of vacation) to go to the garage and have it fixed. This is unacceptable for a company on the market, our safety was at risk and this is unacceptable.

I would highly recommend this Avis location if you need to pick up a rental car in Mont Royal area…read more Opens at 7 am for early pick up so you can stay your day trip early. Service was fast, polite and efficient. The most important though the rental cars here are all clean and of the latest models. The only thing is there is no night drop off so I ended up have to wake up at 6 am again to drop off my rental after a late night.

Worst customer service I have ever received in general - not just car companies. We were given a…read morecar, and 1 hour into our trip got a "flat tire" - the tire ripped to shreds despite our driver not hitting anything. We were then told that Avis would pay us back to get a new tire (as we were too far from any Avis location), but one month has passed and we have not been refunded. Not only that, but there are somehow no records of all our phone calls and communications over the past month with any Avis employees, despite being in contact with them regarding the reimbursement! The staff during this entire ordeal have been completely and utterly unsympathetic, and even rude at times. The manager of the store at the Papineau location in particular did not care at all about helping us with our difficulties, and even yelled once over the phone. Needless to say, I will never be renting from Avis again. If you don't want to be short hundreds of dollars and have wasted hours of your life to a company that does not care about your opinion as a customer, I would think twice about renting Avis, too.

Very very very bad customer service. Like the Soup N*zi in Seinfeld…read more The worst part is there are reviews below of the same guy Karim Hamrouni treating other customers horribly from two years ago, acting like he is the only car rental place in a small town in Algeria or Pakistan so he has power over customers and can treat them like garbage. He's still there. I don't see how I could trust Enterprise again. I got a Mercedes with a bad shimmy from the location near the airport, for a long-term insurance rental. When I got home, I called, they said they didn't have any cars they could give me, but I could exchange it at any location of Enterprise. I spoke with the Enterprise location nearest me, 1717 Berri, and explained I would like to exchange for a RAV-4, and they agreed. But when I arrived, the clerk told me that the "manager had decided" (against company rules) that they don't do exchanges, I would have to go back to the location that rented me the car, out at the airport. I reluctantly agreed, and left with the Mercedes with the shimmy. Calling the airport location, I'm informed they have no equivalent cars they could give me. Then I realized I could simply return the one with the shimmy and close that contract, then rent another car. I have up to $5000 to spend on any kind of transport while my car is being repaired. So I called back the 1717 Berri location, explained the above to a guy on the phone, who turned out to be the manager who behind the scenes had refused against company rules to exchange the car earlier. He kept getting the story wrong, saying I had already exchanged the car and now I want to exchange again? Even though he was the one who refused the exchange earlier. I said I'd be there at noon. He said he was busy then and asked me to come at 1:30 so he could have the time to "help me". When I got there, he was being passive-agressive, pretending to not be able to find my reservation, and saying "at the end of the day, we are trying to help you". Which he clearly was not so far. Walking towards the elevator to the car pickup area in the basement, he starts saying, so the car didn't have a shimmy when you got it, you've had it for a month and now you're saying you didn't cause the problem? Why did you wait a month? I had already discussed the situation with him at least four times: I had the Mercedes with the shimmy for one day. It is defective. I want to exchange for a RAV-4. So now he is making up false statements: the Mercedes didn't have a shimmy when I got it, and that I had had it for a month, saying again he was just trying to help me, when clearly he was not. At this point I am getting a bit annoyed and said, look, now you're making up false statements that are detrimental to me. I don't want to talk about this to you anymore, I just want to return the car and rent a new one. The guy snapped. He refused to get in the elevator, thrusting the Mercedes keys back at me, saying "I'll teach you how to talk to people". Take your keys back and leave. I'm not taking it back, and not renting you another one. Go away or I'll call security. I said to him, "I apologize". He snapped back, "There is no apology for that. I will teach you how to talk to people". I followed him back to the counter, and said, I think it's pretty clear I should deal with someone else. He said, "No, I am the manager, there is no one else, and I have decided. I am not taking your return and not renting you a car. Get away from my desk area, this is private property, do you want me to call security?". Then he said: and I don't care how you get out of the parking garage with your car. I'm not giving you a pass, you'll have to figure that out. I'll teach you how to talk to people! It turns out if you don't have a pass to get out, you have to pay the lost ticket rate, i.e. $22.50 daily parking rate or whatever it was. This guy is spitefully saying he knew he was causing me this problem. I went back down to the garage and the Mercedes with the shimmy and saw the key drop-off return box for Enterprise, so I took many pictures of the Mercedes inside and out, put the keys in the drop box with the gas and mileage and took a taxi home. The worst customer service I've experienced this millennium. Looking at other reviews, this guy has been pulling his Little Hitler power-trip act, treating customers like garbage to show he is superior to them, and causing serious problems with people's travel plans for over two years. But I would not choose to do business with Enterprise again knowing that Enterprise has been tolerating this guy treating customers like garbage and himself like a king who has total power, and he's still there. What kind of company would let that happen? P.S. Enterprise asked me to email them contact info and reservation numbers so they could address the issue, so I did... and they never replied. Low-quality operation all around. Not recommended.

Do all Enterprise locations hate their customers? I don't know but I'm looking forward to being insulted, ignored, gaslit, and generally insulted in more because there are no other rental car companies. Oh, wait, there are! And I'll use them.

I took delivery of the car as scheduled , on July 23rd 2024 my stay in LA changed and I wanted to return and drop the car at Burbank Airport which is 30 miles from LAX , a half an hour drive but it was more convenient for me since my flight was very early on Friday July 26th. To my surprise, when I drove it to the return office at Burbank Airport I was advised that not only I will not be refunded for the days I am returning the days before schedule but I need to pay drop off fee of $ 300.00 plus penalty and taxes , approx $ 460.00 . Obviously I objected and try to contest but was told by the manager of the facility at Burbank that this what the computer is telling them to charge my card. I took the car back to the hotel and I called the +800 number and after waiting 55 mns listening to music , I was told the same thing. I find this to be close to extorsion and steeling, robbing of clients and need to be reported .

Ok, time to amend this review. Some things certainly stand: good cars, good location, friendly…read morestaff, good rates. Yes. But there's been something going haywire at Thrifty recently, and it's left a sour taste in my mouth. They've been understaffed consistently, sometimes the overworked staff is late (sucks if you have an 8am reservation and somewhere to be, doesn't it?), and they're constantly running back and forth between the garage and the rental desk, leaving the customers hanging. Most recently, I went in for a rental and noticed an extra $75 "pre-paid gas" charge on my total. I was told, "Thrifty is having a promotion, where the gas rate is really cheap. You don't have to fill up your tank, and you'll get $1.29/liter." The guy (Robin) didn't explain further than that, although I was skeptical and wanted more explanation. He answered, "Listen, I've got 50 more people coming in today. If they're all as worried as you it's going to take forever." Um, yes. Sorry, but you'll probably have to deal with 50 more people who smell a rat. That's what you get for automatically switching people's contracts without giving them a chance to decline. After signing the contract, I had second thoughts and wanted him to change it, but he'd already dashed off to the basement garage to read the odometer and gas gauge on someone else's car, and I was eager to get going on my trip, so I left. Turns out (as I sort of suspected), this gas deal only works if you bring your tank back on fumes, as they'll charge you for the whole tank if it's not full. So, I got the pleasure of running back out in the morning rainy rush hour to top up my tank before the car was late. Pffft. (BTW, there's an ESSO at St. Laurent and Sherbrooke, another at Papineau/Ontario, and a few other gas stations at Maisonneuve Est near Jacques-Cartier, if you find yourself downtown and need to tank up.) Dude, next time I say I want to decline the fuel option, you take the contract and you fix it to reflect the options I have requested, not what you think I might like. Doing otherwise is totes sketch. I'll still come here for cheap cars, but with less enthusiasm than before, for sure.
