Cons:
The attendant left us at the airport in the parking lot of the rental car location because we didn't arrive within 30 minutes of our plane landing. We got there 10 minutes late according to your attendant. Another shuttle had to drive us to the Hertz location because the Hertz shuttle never came to pick us up. Will never use Hertz again and will tell anyone I ever run into to never use Hertz. Worst customer service experience. If it weren't for a nice lady from another car rental company, we would have had to walk back to the terminal with all of our luggage.Enterprise Rent-A-Car

Oct 2020
Pros:
Drop off was difficult and unclear. There was only a small sign saying that budget was closed and to return car to avis. this should have been told to me at the time of pickup to avoid complications catching my flightCons:
they should have disclosed that they would not be "open" during my return hours and how to return the vehicle to prevent issues when trying to catch my flight after spending 30 minutes driving around the rental area and airport trying to figure it out for myself2.0 Poor
Jul 2020
Pros:
Nothing.Cons:
I rented a convertible to drive away from my wedding to our reception. They called me 10 minutes before pickup and said “whoever rented the convertible didn’t bring it back last night.” Upon calling them a second time and speaking to another representative, he informed me they never have convertibles, so whoever spoke to me the first time lied to me. Then he told me they couldn’t help me find the convertible at another local Enterprise and that they wouldn’t honor my Kayak prices. I spent over an hour ON MY WEDDING DAY on hold and talking to various clueless, helpless, hand-wringing local and corporate Enterprise employees. Long story short, we had to rent a convertible from Alamo and they were *AWESOME*, but it ended up being triple the price. Stay away from Enterprise. They’re hapless.9.6 Wonderful
Feb 2020
Pros:
Staff very friendly. Drop off and pick up were a breeze.Cons:
Nothing I can think of. My passengers lived the tall van, much easier to get in and out of. The sliding door was a little tough to close, an electric close and open function would have been the only thing that could have made it better.9.2 Wonderful
Jan 2020
Pros:
Staff very helpful, professional and friendly.Cons:
Maxima I had reserved was not available. I had my wife drive me to this location, passing an Enterprise location very close to our home, because the Maxima was supposed to be held there for me.Budget

Nov 2017
Pros:
The desk attendant was extremely nice and helpful. He was very polite and made the process as easy as possible.Cons:
This wasn't budget's fault necessarily but the location in downtown Raleigh, NC is located inside of a hotel (which is fine), and there were not clear indicators on the outside of the building that the rental car desks were located inside.10.0 Wonderful

Jul 2019
Pros:
I like how Avis stretched the definition of a "midsize" booking to include a Nissan Sentra. That's very creative.Cons:
Leave lots of extra time to drop a car at the Wilmington (NC) airport. You have to find a parking space, unload your belongings, walk into the airport, and wait at the rental counter. And all of that counts against your return time. If that makes you "late" to return your car, it's an extra $30-50.5.6 Fair
Mar 2018
Pros:
No-hassel renting. Quick rental process, pickup, & dropoff.Cons:
Car was filthy. Didn't have time to request a different car so I eventually vacuumed car out myself. Outside was dirty as if it had been driven in a little bit of snow. Called avis 800 # to complained and only offered $20 off future rental.3.6 Poor

Sep 2017
Cons:
The Avis representative in Raleigh was one of the worst experiences I've had. He literally left the desk and I didn't know what to do with the keys or car or exactly where to leave them. They were not helpful at all on where to park the car. They really did not do anything at all and I did not get any confirmation that the car with properly taken care of from the Avis Staff in Raleigh2.0 Poor
