The 1 Star may be a bit extreme, but after the lousy Customer Service after returning the rental, it feels accurate.
The prices were decent as far as rentals go, the staff that I interacted with were all friendly. But the company is not very transparent with what is covered in the coverage purchases.
Immediately when I turned on the first car we got the Tire Pressure sign was on. I figured that the tires just needed air and decided we'd do that after getting out of the city. Only to find out 30mins away from the airport that it was actually a Flat tire. Which is strange cause you think the staff would've paid more attention after processing returned vehicles.
After being stranded on the highway for hours, my group and I were eventually taxied back to the Enterprise at the Lisbon Airport.
We were "upgraded" to an SUV (supposedly free of charge), I had to sign some paperwork that was only in Portuguese, then we went back on our way to continue our trip.
The car rental was essential to our trip and I wouldn't have done the trip without one. However, my issue is that after we returned the car, I was charged for the roadside assistance, which I was pretty sure that I purchased before leaving the airport the first time. I asked for clarification on what was actually covered with my rental purchase only to be ghosted several times. When I finally did get a reply to my request, I only got the invoice in Portuguese, which when translated didn't exactly match up with the english descriptions in the original reservation. I was annoyed, but became convinced that it was a lost cause due to being ghosted majority of the time I tried contacting Enterprise Portugal about it.
However weeks later I got charged for about another 400 Euros. After which I became furious and locked my credit card. I thought that either it was a mistake or they would keep charging me.
I sent another email trying to get answers only to be ghosted again.
Would I go back to Portugal? Yes.
Would I rent a car again while there? Probably.
Would I use Enterprise Portugal again? Highly Unlikely.
The selection of cars are great. Just be warned that you could get hit with a whole bunch of hidden fees after you return the vehicle with no explanation. So be sure on exactly what you purchase and document all of it. read more
