Agents at airport counter did not want to honor my luxury SUV category status that I rented. They tried to trade me down to a midsize SUV despite my reservation booking clearly stating luxury SUV. I had paid more for it! We ended up getting what we had reserved but it seemed to me they tried to take the easy route and switch on us. This was my only complaint. Everything else was very good.

I went to pick up the car at my scheduled time, they said if you want to wait we have to wash and clean the car or you can take this other car. I did not want to wait so I took with cigarette burn holes and half a tank of gas in it car. When I got to me destination 4 hours away it seemed like it was running funny. On friday I broke down at a gas station and after waiting 2 hours for a tow truck that never caim and I had to call again and they said another 1/2 hour which they said I would need to talk to my local rep to discuss the fee for the service. The Enterprise rep did not offer to swap out the car but only if I broke down again while driving back home at night 4 hours away! I had someone help me and got me on the road. I was supposed to drop off the car on Saturday but I did not want to chance it not starting again so I dropped it off in the middle of the night on Friday with a note . No call from the Local Enterprise to discuss all that happened!

Enterprise made everything easy, from checking in, picking up the car and dropping it off. I went through Priceline and chose Enterprise. I saved a lot of money doing that. Also, we picked up our car at a local airport, even though we were not flying anywhere. That brought the price down as well. Enterprise is always my preferred rental car company.

A car, any car, would have been great. No car was provided. Zero customer service or care for the customer. The counter person, Thomas, there wasn’t any cars available despite my advanced reservation. The worst ever experience; had to take Uber to ride 1.5 hrs to my hotel.

The parking lot attendant (Rafael) was very helpful. That is where the positive comments stop. Our first car was dirty, the driver seat was broken, gas tank was only 3/4 full and we had to bring it back our 4th week due to the engine light coming on. It was also very low on wiper fluid when originally picked up. This was definitely not worth $2200.00 for the month and I will be looking elsewhere next time.

We usually book our rental vehicle through the airline we are traveling with. I’m so glad we used to kayak this time. We saved a lot of money, and got upgraded at the counter to a nicer vehicle.

The worst experience my family has ever had. Never sent a pickup shuttle to the airport for us. Then rented our car and two other family's cars to other people, then claimed they were out of cars. Left us stuck with no rental options close by. Then washed their hands of all of us and said better luck next time. DO NOT book through this company.

I rented to have unlimited mileage. When i got to the rental desk, I was told that there was a 150 mile limit per day, and car could not be taken out of state. The rental agent said these terms were "in the fine print," he said the rental confirmation was not controlling, that I should have read the "fine print." This was deception. Very unhappy, in fact I'm researching who I can complain to in legal authority. Needless to say, I will never use Kayak again. You guys are cheats and liars.

I like the van that they gave us. It was nice and clean.

So, my flight was delayed and I tried calling to let them know that but the number that they gave me in the email was disconnected. I had to call priceline to get to them. When I called to let them know I will be late they just said to call them when I get to the airport. So when I arrived at the office there was no one in the front. I waited a while until they finally came out and then when I told her who I was and what I was renting the lady said that it would be good to let them know that I was going to be late and I told her I did call to let them know. Seem like they don't have any good communication. Also we had to gas up right away because the gas tank was full.

Economy stayed open late when my flight was delayed. Other car rental companies didn't.

The radio was on mute. I couldn't figure out how to unmute. I called Economy and they couldn't help then. They said they would find out and call me back. They never called back.
