Cons:
Well, I like a clean vacuumed vehicle especially in the inside. My trunk was dirty, the back seats needed wiping down and someone should check that. Other than that, everything else was excellent. Thank you Shelly for your help with my needs.10.0 Wonderful

Cons:
I booked and got a confirmation number, what car I was getting (or something similar if they were out), a time for pick up, etc. When I get there they say they have no cars for me. Why allow me to book and say they'll have a car for me when they didn't. I stopped searching for a car because I was told I would have one. If they simple didn't allow me to book or told me there was no available, I would have help looking. It's a poor system and the people helping me just told me a script when it was their fault for booking me.2.0 Poor

Pros:
The staff at both ends was great. Friendly, pleasant, very helpful. We had a bit of a problem locating Enterprise at the Dallas Love Airport because we hadn't driven far enough for car rental return.Cons:
We had no complaints. It was a good experience.2.0 Poor

When they checking they demanded for my passport since i do not have a US driving license, If this is a mandatory requirement, mention it somewhere ! while checking out, they said they would send me the invoice. i have not got it yet.2.0 Poor
Mar 2017
Pros:
They told me they didn't have a car for me when I showed up to pick it up at 2:15pm on Sunday. Told me they may not be able to get me a car by the time they closed (3pm on Sunday), because they ran out of cars as a result of people not returning them when they were supposed to.. They told me to call another location in the city to see if they had one. I asked them to do this for me, and they wouldn't. When I did, the other city location did not have cars to rent either. There were 10 other people experiencing the same problem. At 3pm, they told us all to get into one of their vans and that they would transport us 30 minutes away to another location that had cars. When I got there, they provided me with a Hyundai Veloster, which is a compact car even though my reservation had it confirmed with an intermediate car. Moreover, this car was very dangerous to drive as a result of its extremely limited visibility in the rear and the sides. Not only did I had to drive my car 30 minutes out of the way as a result of this inconvenience, but I also used my gas to do so. Never had an experience like this before and I have been renting cars for more than 35 years. Very unprofessional.6.4 Okay

Sept 2016
Pros:
Nothing. Even though your confirmation told me to pick up and return to the Presidential address on the airport grounds, I was told I would have to go to a different off site Avis location on highway 71. There were no free shuttles so I would have to pay $40 for a shuttle one way.Cons:
I had to pay $100 more to get a car from the airport Avis location and they had very little to choose from at that late date. You sent a confirmation with the wrong location address and I would have had to pay $40 to be shuttled there. I WILL NEVER USE YOUR COMPANY AGAIN!8.0 Very Good
