I've used a lot of car rental companies and locations and this one has stood out as the best. I have been numerous time and generally have friendly service and a very short wait time, if any. The main "con" of this location is the more limited hours, but it's a small local office, so you can't blame them. I use this location and I use Enterprise whenever i can. Union station is a good option for longer hours of pick up and drop off. read more

1. I reserved a week ahead of time because my car need repairs. When I arrived at the scheduled time, the only automobile available to rent was the largest 4x4 truck I have ever seen. It would not come close to fitting in my normal size parking spaces at work and home (I live and work in a Washington DC which parking space is always limited). I looked at the customer service agent in disbelief. He was not kidding. I had to wait over an hour for him to bring a car from another location...and he was not happy to have to do it. He was one of those "used car salesmen" types...sickeningly friendly - so insincere. 2. The car I was given seemed ok but neither he nor i noticed what had to have been a hairline crack in the back windshield because when, a couple of days later, I shut the door and stepped on the brake to start the car (I had not yet touched the button to start the car, I had only stepped on the brake), the slight motion shattered the entirety of the back windshield. It was shocking to say the least. I returned the car and he refused to even speak to me about it, saying it was my fault. My insurance was charged WAY TOO MUCH for the windshield - over $700 - and I had to pay a $250 deductible. They actually made money on it! read more

Miss my reservation by five minutes and they told me that I can't get my car and they were nice enough to be inside the building and tell me during a holiday. They couldn't even help me get my reservation situated for another location. I will never use this location and now I'm recommending not to use Enterprise again. read more

I went to pickup my car and they told me some lie about ny phone number being wrong and that they couldn't confirm the reservation so they gave the rental to somebody else and that I would have to wait a few hours. Also nobody told me that if I'm out of state I would have to have a mayor credit card and i can't use a debit card. So now I have to find another way to New York and I've had this trip planned for a long time. read more

I made a reservation a week or so in advance to pick up a car on 2/17 at 9:30am. I arrived just after 9:30 and there were already 2-3 customers (couldn't tell if parties were together or not) sitting and waiting. Assuming they'd been helped I went to the counter which had a sign stating they were helping a customer and would be back momentarily. I waited about 30 minutes as a line of 5 or so customers built up behind me. In all this time the phone did not stop ringing (likely because no one was at the desk to pick it up). I had reserved a car just for a few hours to get to an appointment in VA. I'd left buffer time but not hours worth so shortly after 10am I abandoned ship because the customers waiting in chairs said they'd run out of cars anyway. I missed my appointment and incurred cancellation penalties because I didn't have another way to get to VA last minute and Uber would have been more than the cancellation charges. Disappointing as I live in the area and was hopeful to have a decent place to rent a car nearby as I don't own one in the city but often need one for a few hours. read more

The employee (I wish I knew his name) was exceptionally polite and friendly. He called a day before to confirm our reservation, and made sure everything was set up correctly. A friendly smile greeted us, and he helped us quickly, while using so many "yes, ma'am" and "thank you's". I kept pointing that out to my sons so they could learn some manners, too. Thank you, sir! read more

They are a nice and helpful staff who will do the best they can to help. It does unfortunately seem like they're understaffed, but that's not the fault of the branch employees! It was an easy in and out experience for me. Pick up was quick and smooth, and the drop off was the same. All you can ask for! Thanks for your help and for making it a great experience. read more

Terribly understaffed. Waited more than 40 minutes to get my vehicle. The people were nice enough but she was terribly unorganized due to the lack of staffing. Waiting 40 minutes for a rental car is crazy. read more

Enterprise took an unauthorized payment out my account and is currently giving me the runaround about giving me my money back. I don't understand stand they know it was an error on their side. This have been go on for over a month. read more

Horrible Customer service in person and on calls as well they purposely don't pick the phone just to be petty and in person they already have 5 people and unorganized and just not serious to work at this location read more

Is it possible to give zero stars? I have never in my life had such an incompetent, terrible rental experience. We planned an 8-hour road trip, so of course intended to leave in the morning. We made the rental car booking weeks in advance and called the day before and confirmed that our car was booked and would be ready for pickup at 9am the next day. But... The next day, we received a call from Enterprise that our car was delayed "30 minutes to an hour". Ok, not great, but not life-ruining. An hour and a half later, we still hadn't received the call that our car was ready. We called and then were told that they hoped the car would be ready by noon--three hours after our scheduled booking. At noon, we called again and were unable to get through because technically the location had closed. So, no one was answering the phones despite unfulfilled rental bookings leaving people in the lurch. My partner ended up going in person to see what was going on, and found a whole group of confused and upset people waiting there for their confirmed but nowhere to be seen rental cars. Then, we were told that we'd get our car at 2pm earliest. TWO PM. FIVE HOURS LATE. Basically an entire day of driving, and an entire day of our vacation lost including a day of our cabin rental we'd already paid for. As I'm writing this we still don't have our car, and are still sitting at home wasting time waiting. They gave us a day and a half off the price, but it barely makes up for the stress, wasted time and money, and lack of real apology or explanation for this situation. We'll now end up driving up an unfamiliar mountain in NC late at night in the dark, a potentially dangerous situation, so if we die please hold Enterprise Rent-A-Car in Navy Yard responsible due to sheer incompetence. And if you're looking for a rental car, I'd recommend going anywhere else. UPDATE: Despite having been told that there was a car for us nearly there, we just received a call that in fact there was no car and they were now starting from scratch trying to find one, for us and also four other people waiting. Insane, right? We ended up canceling since we've been repeatedly given wrong information, if not outright lies, and are rushing to the airport to try to rent a car there, which will be way more expensive as the cherry on top. What really gets me is the utter lack of transparency and honesty in how the situation was handled, which is just a bad sign for how this location is managed. If they had been honest and told us how many hours we'd have to wait sooner, we would have cancelled, gotten a car from the airport and been well on our way by now. But they repeatedly strung us along and lied about the situation, wasting nearly six hours of our time. Bottom line: if you are a car rental agency, it's important to have cars. read more

Ive never experienced such an assinine situation in the history of me doing business with car rentals. Upon my return for just a few hours of usage, I saw 2 employees one was a cool car detailer who told me everything was ok. Out of nowhere this very strange weirdo women started questioning me about the vehicle. She didn't find a problem with the vehicle until I said I had just finished eating and I spilled a spec of chicken grease on the arm rest area in the plastic cup holder area. She proceeded to escalate this minor situation by telling lies that I had spilled chicken grease all over the area. How does does anyone spill large amounts of chicken grease from just eating a sandwich. Keep in mind, this also was after the detailer standing right next to return said everything was fine. Very demonic as if she was looking for a reason to F up and antagonize anyone coming to drop off their rental. Amazingly, I informed and made aware to the manager what going on and her ridiculous accusations and lies. He also assured me his auto detailer ok'd the vehicle. smh Is this the kind of customer service experience you want to build with current and future customers? crazy. I will not recommend or do any further business with this location if shes working that day. Who needs that hassle and antagonistic energy read more

I was disappointed by the service I received at this place. I went in to pick up a car. There was only one person at the front desk, helping out another customer. There was another worker talking on a cellphone. I waited about 15 minutes for the one person to come back just for him to tell me that they did not have any more vehicles available and that I would have to come back at a later time. I can't believe I waited so long just for that. That is certainly not great service! read more

Fast and quick service from the manager Madison and Crew, Sorry I can't remember the two gentlemen that helped but everybody was fantastic highly recommended read more

I spoke with Alanna at the Central Avenue location today. She has a great phone etiquette and a pleasant person. I appreciate her kindness and assistance while planning my reservations. I would definitely recommend her to assist me any of my future reservations. read more

Why don't you advertise that there's an additional $300 deposit required on any rental. Failure to advertise up front is deceptive advertising read more

I actually enjoy renting with Enterprise on 4th St Sw, I have been renting vehicles since maybe January and each time I received excellent customer service, whether it's from Madison, Dylan or Mike. Yes we've had a few hiccups but I mean things happens but it was nothing overbearing. I'm currently still renting from this location and this location only, because of how close it is. I also love the perks I get with Enterprise Rewards. read more

It's rare to get consistent, excellent service anywhere nowadays but it's clear that this location is managed very well because every time I rent a car, they take care of me. Employees are very friendly and make the process easy. Even if there is a wait because they are busy, they communicate to you so you don't feel ignored. read more

Unprofessional tactics used by these employees at this location. The employee who did our paperwork was rude and didn't clarify their rental policies even after we asked several questions. We rent from enterprise often and had never encountered the " company policy" this individual was claiming to enforce. Very disappointing experience, left us thinking the rental wasn't worth the trouble.. Maybe we should have just used Uber. read more

these guys saved the day! got me a car the same day I dropped mine at the shop and an upgrade. they were so patient and helpful.

I reserved a car online to visit my parents. Usually I use zip car but the price on Enterprise was half even though it meant keeping the car overnight. I reserved online was easy. The car pickup was on 4th Street (they just moved from L'Enfant Plaza; 4th Street is convenient too). The reservation agent was terrific-- friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. It took a little while for the car to be brought out (maybe 10 minutes) which was clearly unusual because they were way more apologetic than necessary. We examined the car for scratches together. The car had plenty of gas, and ran fine. I parked on the street and returned it the next morning with no problem. I will rent here again for sure. And the customer service at this Enterprise has convinced me to use Enterprise for all my trips.... I have not been disappointed. read more

Always receive great customer service here. The reps are extremely accommodating and the location is conveniently located right outside the metro as well as a grocery store to load up in snacks before a drive. read more

Service easy and on time. No issues. Luigi provided an excellent customer service was very helpful and friendly.

I established a reservation earlier this morning, asked for a pickup and gave the address. I called this evening to see where the driver was after waiting for fifteen minutes...only to be told by Mr. Cain that he was not going to pick me up because his location does not do pickups and they were not coming to SE (on the other side of the water). So I asked what should I do then because I'm stranded he suggested I call Uber. read more

I'm a Veteran and I have rented vehicles from various different Enterprise locations for year and never had a problem. But at this location I had to rent car because of a hit and run which my car was totaled. My insurance company suggested this location. Once I received the car a few days later I received a email followed by a call informing me that my rental was at the end of it's contract and the insurance company was no longer responsible for the bill I contacted my insurance company and the rental was extended but due to Enterprise not checking the fax my adjuster sent them I was subject to calls and harassment by Matthew. I was told by USAA that Enterprise should not be contacting me for anything and if there was any problem Enterprise should have contacted USAA. this location is a privately owned franchise. I will never do business again with this particular location. read more

Obsessed with this location. They literally call you to thank you for choosing them, it's cute. Car rentals can typically be the worst, and this Enterprise is not only easy breezy for pickup and return, but the staff is genuinely nice and fun and friendly while you're waiting (which is never long). Most importantly, the price at booking is what you pay - no extra or hidden charges, no upsells, etc. read more

I absolutely HAVE loved Enterprise during the last 2.5 years. I probably rent 3-5 days every 5 weeks or so. The staff is very well trained and I think they "get it," however, I (QNG8SKG) am now done and switching car rentals elsewhere. Recently in ATL airport I was charged almost $175+ for a one day truck rental while my business partner found a midsize for less than $40/day. Ya I know what your saying, a truck right? Well, it was only $15 more+\-.. The rate is semi forgivable b/c I made this selection, shame on me. TODAY, the Enterprise App allows me to make the same (stupid - still on me) selection/RESERVATION for around the same price as yesterday. So I get a call about 45 mins after making a RESERVATION. They can't offer a truck, in fact they don't have any cars to rent me. Complete b/s. If you don't have cars the. Don't allow me to make a RESERVATION. At the Hertz counter now. read more

The staff was great. Within 15 minutes of arriving and calling from Union Station we were picked up and on out way. Completing the paperwork was a breeze. When a problem was found with a tire on our rental car the staff quickly offered us an upgrade and waived the requirement that we return the tank full. The next day we got a courtesy call from the rental office. They wanted to know if we were happy with our rental car. That was a first for me. read more

The staff here is friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend. The parking garage can be a little hairy, but other than that, they were all very nice and quick with renting a car. read more

Great, friendly service. They have a drop-box, which is a big plus in DC.

I had a reservation with a scheduled pickup. They did no show on time. Calling the office was a waste of time. They simply did not answer their phone, while their obnoxious message bragged about their customer service. read more

I rented a car from Enterprise to head out to a wedding in Charlottesville. I reserved it online, which was easy and quick, and went to pick it up a few minutes earlier than my reserved time. The staff was very accommodating and when I asked a lot of questions about the various insurance policies (the weather was not supposed to be great that weekend and I just didn't want to take any chances) they were very informative and gave me great information and also what he recommended and why. I ended up doing exactly what he recommended. I went down to the garage and inspected the car with the agent and he explained what he was looking for. He also explained how to use the drop box so I didn't have to worry about where to park the car before I turned it on Monday morning. I had an email Monday morning that the car had been checked in along with a final receipt, no surprises. Overall, it was great customer service and a great service. read more

awful experience today, very long line with one person working who also had to take people out to get cars, waited 45 min, then when it was our turn suddenly with our confirmed reservation the keys were missing and we had to wait another 45 minutes. Never using this location again, will stay with the airport. Alex read more

This week, I had, yet, another excellent experience with Enterprise Car Rental, from the 1100 4th Street SW location. The location is two blocks from my SW Waterfront Condo, which makes pickup and return very easy. The Check-In and Check-Out process was just how this Career Customer Service Manager would rate as First Class. The Jeep Cherokee, as a Standard Level Rental, was AWESOME! read more

The things that matter most to me when renting a vehicle are speed of rental transactions, reasonableness of rental terms and options, and friendly service. My experience on both ends of the rental were superb: fast and friendly. Enterprise is now my go-to vehicle rental company. Adam Benson, Washington, DC/Nashville, TN. read more

This is my first time ever renting a car and I can definitely say employee Joe D. made this process quick and easy. He has been extremely helpful, patient and kind. I would definitely recommend him handling your rental reservation! read more

The check in process was quick and easy. Staff was friendly and helpful. Great price for the deal. The only downside was that the car was filthy! The outside was ok but the inside was another story - Stains, food, dust and debris- gross! Make sure you do the pre-inspection! read more

It's an odd location, but the service couldn't have been better. They gave me options on my car, without prompting they reconfirmed two future reservations and when making the reservations (I was renting a luxury car and wanted to make a specific request) Tia was very helpful. Easy, no hassle experience. You won't find the cars as polished as they are at some car companies, but it was definitely clean and in great condition. Happily going back this weekend to rent and in April. read more

The woman who assisted me when I picked up and dropped off my car was so sweet! When I returned, she asked how my trip to PA and how my holiday was. There was a misunderstanding on my end with the daily insurance coverage (me thinking the price I was quoted for the coverage was for my total rental and it actually needed to be applied to each day). She quickly adjusted the questioned amount off of my bill and emailed me my receipt. She was so effiecient! read more
