I was moving so I had a lot of luggage, my Avis rep at check in got someone to drive me to the terminal and help with my bags. It would have been very difficult for me to manage this without this extra courtesy. I was very grateful for the excellent service I received!

We broke down in Kansas; we had 2 confirmations that were not to be when the Enterprise people would call and say “Sorry, but we do not have a car available.” We were stuck in Kansas for two extra days. It was such a nightmare trying to rent a car from them!

The staff was very accommodating and substituted an all-wheel drive vehicle for us, and a very reasonable cost, given the anticipated bad weather.

Excellent customer service. Easy to get in, pick up the car and go. Drop off was super quick and easy.

The original car I had booked wasn't available, but I did get a suitable replacement.

Pros:

There was so much road construction around the drop off that it took over an hour to complete the process. I would have liked a heads up from the store and possible met elsewhere.

Cons:

An offer for pick up due to the traffic in and around the store.

Pros:

Car drove smoothly and the pickup was hassle free.

Cons:

Vehicle needed an oil change, alignment and maintenance to the undercarriage. I was disappointed these were not resolved before giving it to me to drive across the country.
