Ten years have passed since my last review of National at TPA, and it felt like the right moment to…read moreoffer an update. A lot has changed around the airport, but National continues to deliver the same dependable experience that made me a fan in the first place. Tampa has shifted all rental cars to a separate facility that you reach by shuttle train. The ride takes about five minutes, it runs smoothly, and in the handful of times I have used it, I have never had a delay or a hiccup. It is an easy, predictable part of the arrival routine. National is simple to find, and as an Emerald Aisle member, I still get to bypass the counter and head straight to the garage. I used to be Executive, but I am regular Emerald now, which means choosing from a slightly lower tier. That was not a problem today. For this visit, I specifically wanted a minivan and had my pick of at least a dozen, walking right past a row of SUVs and sedans to get the most boring and generic one with a Florida tag. Exiting the facility and heading to downtown was just as smooth. A friendly agent checked my ID, waved me through, and I was on the road within moments. The van itself was spotless, had fewer than 2000 miles, and ran without a single issue for the entire week. Returning the car was equally straightforward. The signage is clear, the lanes are well marked, and the whole process moves quickly. I had the email with my final receipt before I even stepped back onto the train to the terminal. National at Tampa continues to be a reliable choice for me, and I expect to keep renting from them whenever I fly through TPA. [Review 44 of 2026 - 2228 in Florida - 25234 overall]

The Enterprise airport staff is always friendly and helpful and lines move pretty fast. Drop off is a breeze. Only thing I have noticed is not everyone can answer questions about pairing or unpairing phones for vehicles. It would be helpful to have this info included with the rentals or at least a QR code for quick instructions. The car we had, a Hyundai Kona, was very clean and spacious. Definitely a much better experience than our last Enterprise rental back in IL. Prices are a little higher than competitors, but you get what you pay for. I really appreciated the reminder texts to confirm pick-up and drop-off times. Thank you Enterprise TPA!

So what really don't like to leave bad reviews because it impacts the employees' livelihood, but…read morethe inexpensive price of their rentals is just not worth the hassle. They try to up sell a lot of the add-ons - Now I get it that they probably make a commission on this, but the way the guy did it was a bit off putting. The car I rented sat for a few days because I was at a retreat. When I went to drive it again, the low tire pressure light came on. It didn't look that low, so I drove it to a nearby gas station to get air. I called roadside assistance twice. The first time I was on hold for 20 minutes. The second time no one ever picked up. I decided to chance it and drove back to the airport to get a different car, which was nerve racking because I wasn't sure if the tire would give out while. They were nice about swapping out the car and car me an upgrade. I asked for some compensation because I had to cancel all my vacation plans for my last day of my vacation and they offered not to charge me for any gas. When I dropped off the car the next day, I asked again to be sure and there was a $20 gas charge on there. I asked them to take it off. It was a different manager , and he said he did and they would email me my receipt. I never received the receipt, so I called customer service to get one, and of course when I looked on it, they had charged me $81.00 for prepaid gas. Which I didn't want in the first place. I called back and was told that I had to wait until Monday business hours to talk to billing, which is BS because when I finally got through, it was someone in the Philippines. They do that to make it difficult to get a refund. The manager never put a note in the reservation saying that he would refund me so the agent said he had to reach out to him to confirm that he said that... So what are the odds I'm gonna get this money back? Who knows. But even if I do, I can't get all this time I've wasted dealing with this back. On the car rental websites, their reviews are much higher which makes me feel like they are not real reviews. I've rented from Sixt a few times and had much better luck with them Don't bother with this company, not worth the hassle. And to never have someone pick up on the emergency roadside assistance number? What would I have done if I hadn't been able to drive the car? I'd still be sitting there!!

Update: HOLY COW, the nightmare isn't over! It's been 2 years since I tussled with Sixt, and now…read morethey're sending a collection agency after me. What the hell, Sixt? ---------------------------------------------------- Here's a recap of what used to be a much longer chronology because, to be blunt about it, this is getting ridiculous: 1. I rented a car in Tampa while visiting for my Mom's last days. I stayed in the area the whole time. 2. When I got back home, Sixt told me I owed them for tolls I had gone through in Orlando. Here's the thing: I had never been near Orlando. 3. I did the math and proved to them that (A) the mileage on the car wasn't enough to get to Orlando and back and (B) There weren't even any tolls listed *between* Tampa and Orlando. 4. They ignored my emails and continued to demand $99.65 for tolls I had never gone through. 5. I contacted AMEX who opened a fraud investigation(!). This required me to get a new AMEX number and update all my recurring charges that use it (what a pain!). But they eventually sided with me and removed the $99.65 charge. All this time, I've never been able to reach Sixt by phone to discuss this, and they've ignored my requests via email. And now they're sending a collection agency after me. Hey, everyone makes mistakes, but here's what's bothering me about this: Their responses were lazy and slapdash. They showed no interest in helping me figure this mystery out. They just kept asking for money I didn't owe them. And after 2 years, they just won't give up. I generally prefer to leave positive reviews on Yelp. I extend the benefit of the doubt and ignore small mistakes. But this isn't just a mistake; they've had many chances to fix the problem, and failed every time. From my end, it looks like malfeasance, theft and bullying.
