A last-minute trip needed a last-minute car rental. Enterprise is my go to and I usually only rent…read moreabout once a year so it's not necessarily a familiar process. But the staff team that works the SeaTac venue was truly seamless. It was Gabe who first assisted me to confirm my paperwork and I think that took less than 10 minutes because I've been able to make the reservation by phone. I want to be really clear that I talked to a human to make the reservation and that made all the difference for me. The online version of it was inefficient and didn't allow me to ask questions and get clarification that I needed so I hope Enterprise continues to allow customers to talk to human Customer Service representatives because not all questions can be answered online. Then I was sent to the next area which involved some trepidation because it was a vast area of garage space but immediately Natalie who was part of Enterprise approached me and took my tentativeness and turned it into confidence. She walked me past several areas and made sure that I was put into a vehicle that suited my concerns. And instead of feeling limited by my selection upstairs I felt I was actually given some options in which car I could land in. That made a tremendous difference. Her welcome was genuine and she was very helpful. So between Gabe and Natalie I had a great car pick up experience. And then I'd like to mention Christian who helped me get out of my car when I returned it 24 hours later. He helped me figure out why I would not get a day return back Despite returning at 12 hours earlier, and he was friendly and very positive about his work. I think he was celebrating a work anniversary actually but I don't remember which one it was. Regardless kudos to Enterprise for having such great staff work with us to make a car pick up and car returns simple and seamless. My only issue now is that I left some keys in the car and I would love to figure out how to get a hold of them. I did email Enterprise but have not heard back. I wonder if there is a more direct route to figuring out Lost and found items?

I've used several different companies before but Enterprise generally has a pretty good rate. My last experience with Enterprise was one of the worst rental experiences I've had. At first, it was nice that they offered the choice of a car to me, and provided some full-size sedan options at no cost for an upgrade. I took a Nissan Altima. As soon as I pulled out of the registration, warnings started going off on my dashboard about low tire pressure. I checked the tire pressure and noticed it was enough to make it to my destination so I didn't pay it any mind. The destination I went to had no service stations nearby, so I e-mailed into Enterprise to ask about the issue. They said I could return the car or pull into a Firestone. It took a few days for me to get to the Firestone but once I did, the technicians took a look and found a deeply embedded nail into the tire that was slowly leaking air. I had attributed the tire pressure fluctuation to the cold weather. They filled the tire back up enough to where I would make it back to the airport. I reported the issue immediately via e-mail and to the manager on site. I'm leaving a 3-star instead of a 1-star because previous experiences have been fine, but this last one was straight up dangerous. Inspect your cars well before taking them out.

I took the shuttle to the airport & checked my bags before realizing it was missing. Took the shuttle back to National and asked the attendant about it. She got on the horn and spoke with the lady that does the walkthrough for items left in the rentals. I was told that it would be 30-45 mins so I changed my flight to a later one. Soon as I got off the phone with travel agent, I was flagged down by the two ladies. My backpack was found in less than 10 mins! Jumped back on the shuttle and was able to make it to my gate 5 mins before it closed. Wish I would've asked for their names. Saved me from missing my flight.

The rental process was easy (most of it done online without needing to talk to anyone), and the car itself was in good shape, with a full tank, and there were no billing issues upon returning the car.

Another friendly staff member directed us to our section of the lot, and as we were about to drive out, another friendly staff member answered a few miscellaneous questions before leaving. On returning the car, a final friendly staff member offered to help get out bags out of the car and clear directions how to catch the shuttle back to the airport. Really great customer service here!

Long line at the reservation counter, also a long line to pick up the car. They sent us to the Avis car pick up, so there were two lines, one for Avis and one for Payless. They tried to steer me toward a SUV, but I said I'll wait. Good thing I did, because I got hooked up with a very nice Volkswagen Jetta!! The nice car made up for the long lines and wait time!!!!

Fast forward to the day of pick up - I get to the counter and the girl is going through the regular rundown and then asks if I want basic or premium coverage. I instinctively said basic, but then decided to ask if it's mandatory. She says "no, but I highly recommend you get it because if you get into an accident we will sue you." This really caught me off guard and I persisted to say no. She told me that my personal insurance doesn't cover rental damages (without knowing anything about my policy) and proceeds to use these weird scare tactics into making me spend $120 on insurance I didn't need. Luckily I stood my ground and said no because I had forgotten about the extra insurance at the time of booking. It's really frustrating that there's either nothing on their end saying that I did pre-pay for this already or they don't care and are trying to swindle you. Another thing is that the deposit (mine was $500 for whatever reason) is fully charged to your account and then refunded later. It's not "pending." So if you're needing that money anytime soon, I wouldn't book here. The car was fine and the staff were fine. My advice is don't get bullied into paying for more insurance if you don't have to.

He said I shouldn't sign for anything I can't see, but he's well aware of how the place operates. SCAM. Knowingly pay a little more at literally any other rental company, or you'll pay a LOT more for this crap.

Hertz raised the amount after learning my credit card would cover the damage. The repair shop bill they relied on is dated before the first amount they ever sent me. The repair amount does not correlate with the damage. They charged "loss of use" for days I held the rental and had already paid for. And the diminished value figure is large, arbitrary, bears no relation to the actual damage, and came with no concrete explanation. Credit card rental coverage doesn't cover diminished value, so that part falls entirely on the renter. Each time I asked for specifics, the response was some version of "we reviewed everything and it's correct," refusing to engage with details. When I pointed some discrepancies, the response was "it's industry standard". The message: this is what you'll pay, and you can't do anything about it. I've avoided Hertz on my trips since. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Hertz.

With the wait and the ride, it took us about an hour to just reach Avis where ANOTHER line is waiting for us. After another 30 mins wait, we finally reach the counter where the staff was very rude and demanded my corporate badge for the corporate leisure discount I used. When I couldn't provide it, she demanded to see my most recent paystub and studied it for a good minute when I pulled it up on my phone. This is such an odd ask and invasion of my privacy. Through many years of using corporate leisure codes, I've never had to provide my badges or paystubs. After check in, we got sent downstairs to get the car. Once again total chaos! The lines are mixed in with Budget, and they ran out of cars, so we had to grab anything that's available (not even the class of car we booked). Overall took over 2 hours for car rental. Returning was also chaotic, the return area was overrun by cars and the line waiting is out of the garage. A lot of yelling from the staffs, and there was no official check out process. We gave them the key and that was it.
