Our recent rental experience with Enterprise UK (Glasgow Central Station to Inverness Airport) was…read morehands-down the most dishonest and manipulative interaction I've had with any rental company, and that's a high bar. We arrived at our scheduled pickup time to find the vehicle not ready. We were told it was "being washed" and had to wait nearly an hour. While we waited--before we were even given the keys--we were aggressively pushed to purchase the extra damage waiver. The pressure was intense to the point of feeling predatory, and it raised real concerns that we were being set up to either buy unnecessary coverage or be blamed for damage later. Spoiler: we were. We were told the vehicle had no damage and asked to sign the condition report before inspecting the vehicle ourselves. Once we finally got it, the boot didn't open automatically--not from the key fob, not from the handle. We assumed this was a normal feature of the model since no issue was noted and we weren't given any instruction or manual. There were no staff on the garage floor to ask. The vehicle also had less than a quarter tank of fuel, forcing us to immediately find a station before even starting our trip--another completely avoidable delay. We returned the vehicle to Inverness Airport well before our scheduled return time. The return agent walked around the car, noted no visible damage, and I explained the boot worked the same way it had at pickup. That seemed to be the end of it... until we received an email falsely accusing us of causing the issue and asking us to file a damage claim through our credit card company. We've sent multiple detailed emails to dispute the charge, offered written statements from all four adults in our party, and requested security footage review. No one has replied. Not even basic documentation was provided that would allow us to file a credit card claim if we wanted to. Just repeated automated messages pushing us to accept responsibility for damage we did not cause. This experience has left us with the unmistakable impression that Enterprise UK is running a bait-and-blame operation, where customers are pressured to pay extra up front--and if they don't, they're targeted with baseless claims after the fact. We've rented cars across Europe and North America, from Enterprise and other agencies, and we've never dealt with anything remotely this shady or incompetent. We will never rent from Enterprise again, and I recommend anyone considering it take their business to literally any company with functioning ethics and a pulse in their customer service department.

I want to preface this by saying that I have had many great experiences with Enterprise and I think…read moregenerally they hire some incredible people. I have been an Enterprise Plus member for years and have rarely had a bad experience. That is until I met Shannon, who is a part of the Enterprise Glasgow team. We were in Endinburg when the Queen passed last month and it caused crazy traffic problems and detours in the city the day our car was due. We communicated with the local Enterprise office and let them know we drove around for 2 hours attempting to get to the Waverley Station drop off and confirmed with them via email that the City Center Location would be fine. I parked it there and even walked to Waverly to give them the keys so that the car was safe. The enterprise representative assured me everything would be fine and they would not charge us extra for dropping it at the wrong location. He thanked us for our efforts and said others were just leaving cars on the side of the road because they were experiencing the same issue. Shortly after, Shannon emailed and informed me that we were charge an extra day (the city center location was not open Sunday so they couldnt process the return until Monday). I emailed back politely and explained all the conversation and communication we had with enterprise and the representative. She emailed back a one sentence reply letting me know that we were still being charged even though I sent her all of the communications showing that we had arranged with her co-worker and we confirmed there would be no extra charges. Shannon hasn't responded to 3 emails to try to talk it through. Shannon refused to respond to the confirmation that I gave her from Enterprise confirming we returned on the correct day. Shannon was extremely unhelpful and unresponsive. Shannon is the reason I will no longer be renting from Enterprise. It is sad to think that one employee can ruin the reputation of an entire organization from my perspective. For her to not respond and not understand that I literally went above and beyond trying to do the right thing and spent extra time on my VACATION to be a good person is really frustrating. I hope this message gets to Shannon at Enterprise Glasgow because she refused the 3 other attempts to try to solve this issues.

The big difference from American car rentals is that stick shifts are way cheaper than automatics in Scotland, but with the high price of gas it makes sense. We rented a car there 2 wkds in a row and the second wkd we got a diesel car, which definitely saved on gas (so u should try to request it). The service was fabulous. I was meeting my bf there and before he even got there the sales guy had me in the car ready to go!

The prices are also amazing (pay online) with discounts seemingly all the time. A few times we picked up a car without a full tank of gas without knowing, and have received generous discounts off of our next rental. Can't argue. Last time we went, we even got a lift into the city centre from one of the staff members as it was raining. What more do you want? Surprisingly personal service for such a huge name. Will carry on using them for the forseeable future as I personally don't need a car living and working in Glasgow. It's a handy thing to have every now and then, and it's so much more convenient than I imagined to rent a car. Rent-a-shoes, coming soon.

The woman who served me laughed at me and joked, "It's not going very well for you today, is it." Another woman said, "To be honest, we just don't really want to rent to you." The reason they gave was that the address on my driving licence isn't my current address and not the one on the 6 pieces of id I showed. However, I have rented from 5 car rental companies this year with no problems. The real reason was probably because I booked the car 3 weeks before and got a good rate, so they probably thought, it being nearly Christmas, they could charge someone else more. I also suspected that they didn't like me because I'm not Scottish. It might have been simply that they were in the mood to mess someone around. Whatever, it was an awful experience that left me very angry and not being able to fulfill work commitments!

'Haste' was not part of the Sixt experience, with me being forced to listen to all the upgrade options I had declined online. 'Luxury' was also not part of the Sixt experience, with me ordering an Audi A1 or similar, and ending up with a Citroen. They wanted me to pay double to be put in an Audi. Typical bait and switch. Damage tracking is insane, on return the advisor noted a scuff, and we were both confused because previous damage in the same area had been reported; but it was supposed to be giant scratch... which neither of us could find.

The initial paperwork showed the damage (4" scratches to all wheels). The turn-in paperwork showed no new damage noted. We soon started getting communications saying that we had caused damage and needed to pay. They even included threats to get the money from our credit card company. We sent copies of the paperwork substantiating that the damage was already there, and they backed off but never apologized. 2. Upgrade to more expensive car. When we arrived, they said our reserved car was not ready as we were early but that they could provide another comparable car at a comparable but slightly higher price. Tired from a long flight, we decided to go with the replacement vehicle which turned out to be more than double the price (£1900 vs £860). I emailed the complaints department but have still not heard back from them after more than two weeks. While I can take ownership of not trying to find and compare the rates, the misrepresentation of "slightly higher" was clearly intentional and preying upon exhausted travelers. Other than that, the car was good. "Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?"
