You need more staff at that location. When I picked up the car there were 3 people in front of me and only one person in the office to process the paperwork, explain the options and deliver the cars. Your employee was very efficient and professional but he was doing the job of at least 3 people.

Our Van was perfect! Michael, at the Avis rental car in Escondido was professional and efficient. He explained how all of the options in the van worked and was very gracious with his time. Avis/Busget is lucky to have him as an employee.

Treated very poorly, right from the start the girl thst checked me in was rude. I had a temporary license extention from DMV and she was giving me a hard time. Then they wouldn’t accept my EDD Card issued by state of California I made a complaint to Enterprise regional manager but have not heard back with an apology

Customer Service improvement is needed through coaching and training

Their choice of cars is minimal. I reserved a "mid-size SUV such as a Nissan Rogue". I got a Ford EcoSport, which is tiny. Hardly an SUV. I rented this vehicle because I had stuff to haul to an event. It barely fit. Not happy, but blaming myself because it was last minute.

We reserved a Mid size SUV and they gave us a Buick Concord. They said it was as big as a sheep Cherokee and it is clearly Smaller. We were traveling cross country and were very cramped for Space. Even had to leave things behind to be shipped later. Looking up the Jeep, it’s 10.5 to 11 inches longer, 2 inches wider and 1 inch taller.

Maybe check their inventory and make sure they have the car I'm asking for before confirming my booking. Duh

Couldn't get the car because apparently the original reservation had the wrong date on it. It allowed me to reserve again on the correct date even tho they didn't have the level of car I was trying to reserve. They also wouldn't upgrade me to something else suitable for the same price. When I tried to cancel the reservation, the web site wouldn't allow it so I rented elsewhere since they can't charge me anyway.
