Wonderful|Feb 2023Pleasant, helpful, and attentive. I will rent with them again.

Okay|Dec 2022You desperately need to fix your system's integration with Enterprise's system. I modified the booking a couple times on Kayak, but Enterprise didn't get alerted to the modification. The emails I received from Kayak had the wrong pick-up locations for Enterprise, but again, because Kayak didn't properly relay the pick-up location to Enterprise, I ended up going to the wrong location. This costed me $40 to take an Uber to the correct location as well as a 2-hour delay in pick-up, almost causing me to miss my drop-off time. I should get some credit for this hassle, which is totally Kayak's fault.

Wonderful|Oct 2022The Enterprise crew was wonderful. The car was a little long in the tooth.

Wonderful|May 2022The process of picking up and dropping off the vehicle was very smooth and fast. The people at the counter were very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable.
7.9
Good|Aug 2021The person attention was good. On the negative side, Enterprise had terrible and conflicting signage at Midway airport. You have to use the signs for National because in several places there are no Enterprise signs or they direct you to the wrong floor. Also, we had a malfunction warning light go off in the car within 50 miles of starting to drive our Nissan (the light was cryptic, but using the owner's manual, we figured out that it may have something to do with the automatic breaking system-- but nothing about how serious it was or how to fix it). The malfunction warning light then stayed on for the entire rest of the rental, which made us worry, although the car drove fine.
2.0
Poor|May 2021Drop off was the only positive to this experience. Park the car and go.
Pricing was terrible. The time it took to be able to talk to staff after an 11 hour flight was terrible. Car selection was terrible.

Poor|Mar 2023We arrived to the counter to learn that there were no more cars available. At all. We waited forever and finally got a completely different car than we ordered: a gas-guzzling SUV instead of a midsized sedan that we ordered. Not ideal for a huge road trip. The car was very clean but quite dinged up. Everything was WAY more expensive than advertised. Overall I’m super disappointed with Budget. What a misnomer if a business name.

Poor|Jan 2023Customer service in midway airport, worse ever. Never rent car again with budget

Mediocre|Oct 2022The drop off location and time was not what I selected in my search and didn’t realize until the night before that it had changed. Tried to call to change and it was closed, called the next morning and was informed it would be $659 to change to a closer drop off or to keep the car a couple extra hours. That is insanity. I waited over an hour in line to rent from these guys for pick up after my scheduled time, but was told if I was more than 20 min late it would be $659. What a joke.

Mediocre|Sep 2022Everything was ok except how long it took to get our car. We waited in line for an hour. And we had to get to our destination asap. There was not enough staff for the amount of customers AND they had problems with having cars ready.

Very Good|Mar 2020The pick up was close by but I didnt realize it would not be at the airport. The sign is super small and if your not looking for it you would miss the pick up spot. Our group waited over 30 minutes before they finally picked us up.
6.8
Okay|Jan 2020A good initial price, but was then increased when they forced me to buy insurance before I could get the keys. The vehicle was in excellent shape and clean.
The pickup experience was very frustrating and I will not use this company again.
3.2
Poor|Jan 2020The car’s front end rattled the whole time. Alignment was off pulling to the right. Drivers door made a rattle like a can of beans the whole time we drove over 60mph. The car was dirty when we received it and had over 10 chips in the windshield. Worst rental I’ve ever had.
2.4
Poor|Jan 2020The car was ready when I arrived
I was charged more than what my quoted price was, costing me nearly $100 more than anticipated. Car had a broken rear windshield, no ice scraper, and a slow tire leak in the middle of winter.
3.6
Poor|Dec 2019One lady was super helpful and nice, the rest of the staff I interacted with seemed like they hated everything. The second van I received was in excellent condition on the inside, though dented on the outside.
Ended up being about 25% more than the quoted reservation cost with no explanation given. Inconvenient pickup/drop off location, at least for transit/walking. Took a very long time to pickup and drop off despite being the only customer there. First van they were going to give me was FULL of trash in the back. Second one was fine. Otherwise rude staff. put a huge hold on your card, mileage limit for IL residents - they do tell you this upfront when you’re there but it’s a bit sneaky if you’re reserving through a third party site like this. Some other stuff I can’t even think of right now cuz I’m trying to push the whole ordeal out of my head. It was pretty darn cheap though.

Poor|Dec 2019We thought we were getting a great deal on a car rental for two weeks. When we arrived at the business to pick up our car, we were charged over $120 more than our initial payment. The reason was (at first) that they had to come and pick us up from the airport. When we pressed into why, the next reason they gave us was because we should have reserved the car through a third party like Expedia. Which we did-through Kayak. The NEXT reason they gave us for charging us so much more was that we came through the airport. Which made zero sense because that's where I filled all the information out at the time of making the reservation. We then asked to see the manager and someone else came out to talk to us. When we asked the woman if she was the manager she said, "well, kind of, but not really, I just help the manager." We then asked again to see the manager. She went back to get him and came back to us and said the manager refused to see us and would not come out front. We then cancelled our reservation. As we were trying to find an Uber to get to another car rental location, another customer was going through the same run around and was being charged over $100 than what all her paperwork said. We call this unethical and bad business and will never recommend this company.

Poor|Jan 2021National didn't have my SUV available nor would they rent a car to me since I was local and not a distant traveler and booked on the same day. Why did they give the option on the website that a car was available? Wasted my time on Christmas day.

Wonderful|Jun 2016I rented from Icarus cars from several dealer this trip. National was the only one that actually had the car I reserved when I arrived, and did not jerk me around. Also, no line at midway (but the others had long lines...).

Poor|Jan 2023The car was reeking of weed. It was not cleaned before renting to us. We had a very poor experience. Had to wait 7 hours in the line even though we had our car booked for pick up at 8 and were there at 7. No planning what so ever, they could have just called the intervals of 30 mins booking slots and could have done everything much faster.

Poor|Dec 2022We had to have a car towed from Battle Creek, Michigan after it was given to us from Kalamazoo undriveable and no replacement car was given to us (and the emergency roadside assistance was absolutely terrible- please listen to all of the recorded conversations because they effectively were running us around and okay with leaving us stranded in Battle Creek) so we had to spend close to $150 on an uber to get to our final destination and then we were charged for an extra day even though we didn’t have a car for the majority of our reservation. Absolutely terrible experience, I’m actively telling everyone never to book with Avis.

Okay|May 2021Nice car and very clean. Drop off was easy
Price with add ons is ridiculous Pick up was horrible at Midway desk with only two agents working neither of whom was trying very hard to move the line. I was only 4 people back and had to wait 45 minutes to get to the counter.

Mediocre|Sep 2020Car fit 7, and took us safely out of town and back (about 500 miles)
The rental location's staff was rude and overcharged for insurance I already purchased without telling me. They also held $200 on my card which was not disclosed on this website. Their hours was 8am to 4pm and they where closed Monday (for labor day), didn't have a dropbox and excepted me to return the car the next day when I wouldn't be avialable (and I heard them give another person to option to return the car somewhere else without asking). I ended up returning the car to the airport location 5mins away after call Hertz directly. Also, the car smelled like someone had been smoking in it for days.

Fair|Sep 2019love the car!
the pickup should be easy and fast instead of taking more than 30 minutes?
6.4
Okay|Jul 2019The staff in Atlanta was very friendly and helpful.
Very slow processing for pickup. Car did not have useful features like unlock key fob or working bluetooth.
3.6
Poor|May 2019The staff was very friendly and nice.
The quality of the car was really bad. Stained cloth seats, ripped floor carpet, wiper blades in poor condition, fuel gauge and fuel port were faulty. They only had 1 car available in the class I requested and hence, I was stuck with it even though i pointed out some of the issues.
7.6
Good|May 2019There was only one person manning the counter at pickup even though there were other employees there and a line of 6 people. Dropoff wasn't very clear as he didn't explain how the final part of the fee would get charged, but it was quick. Really liked the car I drove - Ford Fiesta.
Honestly, the price seemed very high for only 4 days. I felt a bit taken advantage of.
