Never again. Did a 2 day pre-pay rental and picked the car up as planned on 8/4 in New Haven CT…read morewith the plan to take it to Long Island on the ferry for my father's memorial service on 8/5 at 5pm. Drove the car approximately 6 miles total back and forth to my friend's house on 8/4 car was in a hotel parking lot overnight. On 8/5 car would not start. Check engine lights, battery and oil all lit up on dashboard. Called customer service, tow truck could not come for 2 hours. They had NO REPLACEMENT car available for me. The closest available car they could offer was in Newark Airport. I had to forfeit the $88 I paid to transport the car on the Bridgeport ferry. Even after I explained that I had to be at a memorial for my father they were essentially like "oh well" they also declined to refund my car rental for the day I had no car. So I had to spend over $300 total for Ubers to get me to the service and back. And then when I got home, I discovered that they EXTENDED my rental (the one that broke down) and charged an additional $1400 to my credit card despite the fact that their tow truck took the car at 11:53 on 8/5 and the car was in my possession for 25 hours TOTAL. I have disputed all charges with my cc and have filed a complaint with the BBB. Do not use this company under any circumstances.

My boyfriend and I have rented over 5 rental cars within the past month; trying to purchase a…read morevehicle (STEAR CLEAR OF NEW JERSEY). Matt was phenomenal to say the least. He went above and beyond every time to guarantee we always had a vehicle, that others' mistakes were corrected without us having to deal with any extra headaches, was extremely professional, and made our experience hassle free, and with kindness. We finally purchased a vehicle, but if we ever need a rental car, we will always go to Enterprise because of Matt, and recommend Enterprise to our family and friends because of him as well. A HUGE thank you to Matt for all of your hard work; we appreciate you!

About a month ago, I made a reservation for a compact vehicle. Upon arrival, I was greeted by an…read moreassociate and, what appeared to be, a manager. The associate was very helpful until I was asked to provide proof of personal auto insurance. I explained that I did not have a personal auto insurance policy because I did not have a functioning vehicle at the time. I also informed the manager that I worked for Enterprise in Florida, but my driver's license was still issued by Connecticut because I was in the process of transferring it to Florida for my employment. I explained that I am a student who has lived in Florida for the past two years, but I had only been employed with Enterprise for about three weeks at that point. The manager then questioned why my license was still from Connecticut and made a passive-aggressive comment: "Well, if you work for Enterprise, how is your license still in CT? Even here we have to transfer them." I found this unnecessary, especially after I had already explained my situation. Shortly afterward, she told me she needed to see a utility bill and repeatedly stated that everything would be "verified thoroughly." She emphasized this multiple times, making me feel as though she viewed me as a liability. As an Enterprise employee with a valid Connecticut driver's license, I knew this additional verification was not required because my profile is already verified to rent, as indicated by the green verification circle. I know this because I have rented from multiple Enterprise branches in Florida without any issues. After I provided a utility bill, she then informed me that she could not accept my debit card, despite having seen it in my hand throughout the interaction. At that point, another customer who had overheard the conversation stated that she had just paid with the exact same type of card I was attempting to use and had experienced no issues. Overall, I felt discriminated against during this interaction, especially as an Enterprise employee who understands the rental and verification process. It seemed as though the manager was looking for any reason not to rent to me and continued asking unnecessary personal questions regarding my residency. The experience was particularly frustrating because I urgently needed a one-way rental to transport my belongings back to Florida. As a result, I had to visit a different Enterprise branch, where I was assisted without any issues. They did not require nearly as much documentation or questioning as I experienced at the Branford branch. Enterprise prides itself on providing exceptional customer service, and I know that firsthand because I strive to uphold those standards every day as an employee. Unfortunately, I did not receive that same level of professionalism or respect during this experience, which was both disappointing and disheartening.
