Poll of the Day > Enterprise rentals is a joke

(+) Yeah! (+)

Need a rental because my car is in the shop. They confirm with me to come get it at 11am. So I show up at 11am. They don't have any cars for me. They said I could hang out for one to be returned and cleaned or they could call me when one is ready. I ask them to call me and leave. A few hours go by and no word, so I call them. They tell me its being cleaned and will soon be ready to come and get it. I say "It WILL be ready when I get there, right?" The guy checks something and then says no, that car is for somebody else and they're still waiting for my car. These clowns.....

Just be glad if you got one they didn't report it stolen before you brought it back like with Hertz customers...

their ship is cool though

Enterprise, yes, but so far as I can tell they're all terrible. Awful industry.

There is a trick at.......some....enterprise locations.

Most of their cars are pretty expensive now, 30$+ a day minimum.

But they have vans, 2 of them (2 kinds), at the bottom of their list of cars. They are $20 a day (as long as you rent it less than a month). They still include unlimited miles etc. They will come pick you up and drop you off if it's within 10 miles as well.

So check this.

I live 10.5 miles from town. Uber to come get me is 30-40$ one way.

Enterprise will come get me, rent me the van (unlimited miles) and drop me back off when I return it the next day, for $20 (with tax it's around 25$).

So much cheaper than uber etc, plus I get a whole day with a vehicle. Seriously considering just not having a car anymore and doing that once a week lol.
