Great car, very crowded pickup - drop off was smooth. Totally useless with clarifying costs, charge whatever they want at the end. Scammed us on fuel, make sure you get fuel and fill up your tank... Due to my poor research, I didn't realize. I'm out 100 euroes when it would have cost 25 to fill the tank to full.Reviewed 9 Jun 2026

I had a fantastic experience with Enterprise. The customer service was top-notch, and the pickup process was incredibly quick. To top it off, they gave me a free upgrade with zero hassle. The entire process was well-managed and professional. I’ll definitely be renting from this location again!Reviewed 9 Jun 2026

When we arrived at Budget, the vehicle we had reserved—or even a similar one—was not available. Despite the situation, the attendant was very helpful and offered us the option of having a new vehicle brought to the location, though we would have had to wait an hour beyond our scheduled pickup time. The problem was that we already had a planned itinerary, and this caused a major delay. However, I acknowledge that the attendant did their best, and the fault lay entirely with Budget. We had another unfortunate experience with Budget in Miami, and we will definitely never book with Budget again!Reviewed 8 Jun 2026
