After being screwed over with our months long reservation with budget for vacation we were forced…read moreto book with enterprise. I'll be honest, they are never my choice. Always the worst company to work with. Well, called and to my surprise so accommodating and found what we needed and it would be ready in an hour. Amazing, vacation is not ruined. We can still hit the road! Get to enterprise and they say oh we have you down for 5pm. I said ok, well we were told it's ready now. Then she says they don't have a vehicle till tomorrow. Excuse me!? That's not what we were told. She's checking and guess what? No SUV we need in ALL of Des Moines. Sure. Sure. Then we are told calls are outsourced and they don't know the inventory. It's at this point I lose it. I don't want to get into it all but, let's say I told them their customer service system needs a massive overhaul. No wonder they have such high competition now. Long story short, we couldn't travel with the family without the SUV. Vacation planned for 5 months ruined and canceled. Thank you Budget and Enterprise. I've made sure you both received bad reviews and all my friends and family know to never rent from you again.

Totally forgot that I had put under the seat and returned the car June 27,2026 in the morning. Called the hertz in dsm airport many times no answer. Finally made a lost and found report. Called the next day, same. And calling everyday still no answer. According to the customer service they expedited my claim and said that the car liscense plate A0DRDTA WAS STILL IN PROPERTY on june 29,2026, and someone a live person will reach out. Still no one reached out on property. I feel it's a shame that when a rental is still in property and the email or something like this is sent internally to the station property, I get no answers. Just hoping a Good Samaritan at a workplace environment will turn in an item with atleast $500_/+.

After returning the vehicle, to my surprise, I was charged $113.49 as a refill. I immediately called the manager and the manager said that I need to supply them with a photo of the car's tank full prior to returning the vehicle or a receipt from the gas station. I have all necessary documents, but the point is that this is an unnecessary hassle!! I've never been charged nor been questioned when obviously I returned the car full. Hertz is a trash company for trying to pull this stunt on their customers. Be very wary of Hertz. They're scheming folks out of their hard earned money at this location. To avoid being scammed by them, always take a picture of the gas tank prior to returning their vehicles . Also always keep the receipt so that you don't have to experience the unprofessionalism and crooked behavior from these folks!

He continued to go above and beyond throughout our trip. And on a basic level, the van we got from him was in brand new shape, spotlessly clean, and drove perfectly.

(Despite Des Moines being a small town, the city's hotel and car rental industry is surprisingly busy during the week, so if you're a local and find yourself in need of a last minute car rental, this is probably your best bet) I searched for local car rentals online and found this company. Its independently owned, and the owners were pretty easy to work with. They're professional and courteous, and their rental rates are fairly affordable. A compact car rental rate was about half the price of the big-namers, and on top of that - they don't tack on the extra charge if you happen to be under 25 years old like the larger companies do - which is a huge factor in cost if you're under 25 and in a bind to rent a car. The biggest difference aside from that is you'll probably see is that the cars are 1 - 2 yrs old and they dont offer unlimited miles.
