    I rented a VW Taos (Compact SUV) during my last trip in Iowa. I took possession at the Cedar…read moreRapids Airport and returned it there 5 days later. My journey led me to Ames, Des Moines, and Iowa City in-between. Costco Travel also gave me a decent price. Due to Consumer Reports ratings, I probably would not buy a VW car, although I still have fond memories of my old and sporty VW Scirocco. What I appreciated most about this car was comfort, power when I needed it, and the ease that my 97 year-old Dad could get in and out of the car. Gas mileage was decent and trunk storage was ample enough for my luggage and my Dad's walker. The Enterprise representative at the airport was courteous and efficient. No one was at their desk when I returned the car early Saturday morning, and the final bill was in my inbox within a couple hours of me dropping it off. I was also happy with the easy walk from the terminal to the car and straightforward return.

    The staff at the Cedar Rapids Airport Enterprise location are very personable, and I've…read moreconsistently had great interactions with them. Customer service has always been friendly and professional, which I truly appreciate. My only ongoing concern is vehicle availability. I rent from this location at least once a month, typically for two-week rentals, and I always select all the premium options. However, I frequently do not receive the vehicle class I reserve and often end up with a smaller vehicle than requested. I've mentioned this several times, but it doesn't seem to have led to any change. If you're flexible about the type of vehicle you drive, I'd easily give this location 5 out of 5 stars based on the staff alone. But if, like me, vehicle size matters--especially when traveling with children and needing adequate space--you may want to consider a larger branch with more consistent inventory.

    All I needed was to book a car to be dropped off and returned at Signature Aviation. There was no…read moreoption to book it that way via the app. After going back and fourth between Hertz and Signature, nobody could give me a straight answer on how to book. They eventually cancelled the reservation that I made and made me a new one from scratch. After the rental was complete, I was charged for 2 days despite only having the car for a little over 4 hours. Every single person I talked to on the phone acted like it was their first day. Nobody had the answers to my questions and had to ask the manager every single detail. I travel for a living and I've never had a more painful interaction in my life.

    Our flight arrived at the Cedar Rapids Airport after 5:00 pm on a Saturday evening, and they were…read moreclosed. We had a reservation tonight to arrive at 6:30 pm, but bad weather at DIA caused a departure delay of about an hour. (Arrival at 7:30 pm instead.) Another couple from Florida had the same problem, and they were just as bewildered and frustrated as we were. My husband is a Gold Club member and has been for many years. Why would any car rental company accept and give you a reservation at an airport when flights will be arriving all evening, if they are going to be closed? What a cruel way to treat loyal customers! Shame on you all who thought this was an acceptable way to operate a business. We are currently staying in a hotel nearby, waiting for Hertz to open in the morning so we can try to obtain the car we should have received tonight. (The other car rental companies were sold out tonight,)

    Why should I pay a Hertz premium price for a car with 43 000 miles?

    Have you heard the phrase inmates running the asylum. Here its children running the daycare. I was…read moresupposed to get a car last Thursday. They did not have it when I reserved it. I was told by 2. I had a doctor appt and paid tee time. I asked if they could bring the car to body shop at 2. Plenty of time to get to 3 pm dr. I was looked in the eye and told no problem. At 2:20. No car no Enterprise. Did they call to give me a heads up? Nope. I called and asked where they were. They were surprised by my call. I told them nevermind, scrambled to get a ride and missed doctor(waiting three weeks for reschedule. Friday I rescheduled for Monday. Told them first thing Monday. They say no problem. Monday morning no car no call. Just a shrug of the shoulders and next person. I ask for manager. I was talking to manager. No bueno. I ask to speak to regional but they wont give me number. They will call and talk to that manager but I am told I will get call that afternoon. I know they wont call so I say that I am staying until I hear from someone. I spend the next 30 mins talking to another displeased customer. Then I finally got a call. I tell them my situation and they say that I have to wait. I finally get a honda civic. I asked for full size as I am 6 foot 3 210 pounds. I dont do clown cars well. They say they will fix it, Im not holding my breath. If you need a car forget you are the customer and swallow your pride. You are dealing with children at this location.

    I had a rental car while my own car was in the shop. Polite prompt service, cheaper than Hertz,…read morethey informed me my car was done ( at the body shop) , not the body shop people
