    So helpful! Great prices. Made my 11 day rental really easy and I'd go back in a heartbeat. I believe they rent uhauls too.

    This rental car counter is in the terminal just outside of the gates and it's next to all of the…read moreother on site rental counters at Burlington airport. (No bus or shuttle needed). The cars are just a short 5 minute walk to the end of the airport and across the street (or second floor bridge walk) to the parking/car rental lots. The service here was friendly but it's one where you must see an agent. There are no kiosks which to me I love because I can be in and out within 2 minutes and I don't need to listen to the high pressure sales pitch for insurance and other extras. I just want the car without the 20 questions. The car was clean and I didn't have any issues with the rental. I had a 6:30am flight so I returned the car about 5:30am which means there was nobody at this location. So, you park the car, fill out the info form and drop off the keys at the counter. It was easy enough but I didn't get an instant receipt which is another feature I love with Alamo. (They give you a receipt on the spot typically). I'll be back and if my thoughts change I'll update the review. Enjoy!

I didn't check the email receipt, which I should have, because I got in at midnight and forgot to check it later since I was on vacation. Upon returning the vehicle, I noticed after I got inside the gates the price was almost $200 more, almost 40% higher than the original cost. A manger reached out to ask about my experience so I informed them extra coverage was added and asked if they could look into it, to which they said they would. That was two months ago and I have not heard back. **Update** Management reached out to me to get further information and provided an incomplete website address to visit. Second time they pretended to care - I guess they just try to save face instead of provide assistance.

After speaking for a bit he offered me an upgrade to an available vehicle that would really suit me needs for the area. I was very happy with his recommendation. the car was clean and gassed up. A few days later I received an email from the branch manager. Jacqueline Esperti Branch Manager Enterprise, National and Alamo Burlington International Airport 1200 Airport Rd South Burlington, VT 05403 She contacted me to ask how my experience had been so far. I advised her it was ideal but my plans had changed and that I was extending my stay and I would need the vehicle for extra time. I also advised that I would be returning the vehicle back to the same location instead of a different airport as planned. She not only worked with me, but she was able to offer me a continued great rate and advised me that returning it to the same location would be ok. She and people like her is definitely the reason that I use Enterprise Rent-A-Car. I will definitely be returning to the airport for more family events and I know for fact, She will be my contact person. She kept on top of every situation and greeted me when I returned the vehicle. That type of professionalism is what sets Enterprise apart from many others. Trust me, I have tried various others as well. Thank you Enterprise!

I have now landed at BTV, stranded with no rental available, no resolution and no supervisor on site to speak with. Absolutely unacceptable. Updated: even after being turned away the Enterprise site (directly) continues to allow booking despite no cars being available. A quick review of the terms and conditions (attached) clearly spell out that they have no responsibility to actually have the car they allow you to reserve.

    I was in town for a couple of days. As a Fastbreak member with a reservation, I was quickly handed…read morethe keys to the rental car after showing the lady my driver license. This was one of the more loosey-goosey car rental experiences in all of my travels. She told me that she doesn't know which stall the car was parked in, but to just hit the panic button on the key fob when I get to the parking garage. I was given a black Jeep Compass. I looked at the license plate on the key tag and was able to locate it without having to use that panic button. Since I was traveling solo, it was a bit more car than what I had reserved or needed. Although it had over 30k miles on it, it still drove perfectly fine for the duration of my trip. On my way home, I gassed up the car and parked it in an Avis/Budget stall. I noted both the stall and the mileage. When I dropped off the keys at the counter, the guy didn't seem to want either information. All he asked was if I had filled up the tank. I like visiting small towns, but sometimes they're a bit too nonchalant compared to what I've been accustomed to while living in a big city.

    This is the biggest joke of a company I have ever seen. Either it is run by a literal child or an…read moreidiot. And unfortunately I think it's the latter. My wife and I paid almost $1,000 on a rental car and when we went to pick it up we were told that they actually rented our car out to "someone at a higher tier". And when you go to call the company to get a refund (like the incapable unfriendly man at the front desk told us to do) they send you to a robot or tell you they aren't open. Even when they are! So now I am here in Burlington on my honey moon stuck at the airport waiting for an uber. Because of their stupid and unethical practices we lost the first night of having dinner together and exploring the area. If you like Budget Rent a car, I don't know why. If you work for this company, quit. In the future if the only place available to rent a car is this lousy company, it looks like I will be walking. Also, the only reason I am giving this one star is because it won't allow me to give it a 0. They should pay us for their terrible service and the inconvenience they caused us.

    My first time ever in Vermont and this was one the worst and most irresponsible rental experiences…read moreI have ever had. I had reserved the "Managers Deal" special and I explicitly told the manager the location I would be driving to and even noted I'd be driving deeper in throughout my trip. The forecast called for heavy snow for at least two out of four days of my trip. Despite this, I was knowingly assigned what I think was the smallest vehicle in the row of the car pick-up section, Nissan Versa, which is a two wheel compact vehicle. This was a conscious decision that ignored both common sense and customer safety. Predictably, the vehicle underperformed in these winter conditions. It got stuck in a parking spot due to snow, and I had to physically push the car myself out of the spot to be able to get going. A rental car that cannot even escape a parking spot in snowy weather is beyond unacceptable, it's dangerous. This location manager showed zero concern for safety, zero concern about accountability, and shockingly poor judgement. Assigning an inadequate vehicle under these conditions put me and my wife at risk and should never happen at a professional rental agency. The lack of care from management strongly suggests profit over convenience come before customer safety. I will strongly resist renting from Dollar again and I strongly warn others to avoid this Dollar location, especially if you're traveling in winter conditions or expect a manager to make responsible, informed vehicle assignments. This was careless, negligent, and completely avoidable.

They rest assured I would get a refund 5 to 7 days. Before you return your car, make sure to take a picture of the mileage and gas fuel. This place is a scam and they are known to this. It's shameful what Hertz/Dollar is doing to its customers.

Since we really needed to go, we sucked it up and just wiped down all the surfaces with antibacterial wipes as there were a lot of dust and stains. Clearly the car was not detailed. The external/body had multiple dents and scratches. I wish I had taken "before" pictures. I was so disgusted that the thought of pictures didn't cross my mind until after we were already in the road! I'm pretty sure I'm not blond but found long bland hair in the seats and floor mats! I've attached some photos to this review. Need to find a gas station that might have a vacuum cleaner ASAP!

We always rents with thrifty and always has use a debit card with no problem. Today I showed him the usually card, without touching it- with a sarcastic- more of a racist look on his face- and said "we don't take debit card here." I was clearly surprised cuz it was only a couple of months ago it was fine- he said policy changed since Jan, 2, 2017. Clearly 2 months ago it was fine. I understand policy does get changed- and I would of so given him a credit card- but his customer services gave it up. Never again will I rent from you thrifty- and I do rent very often from you.
