I earn $ ***** per hour and wasted hours being on hold and talking to incompetent people. Enterprise has not made any effort to resolve my problem.

This is an ongoing excuse from this company I have called to request management to receive a call back and nothing I haven't been contacted once again after been waiting over a month or so . The company directed me and said yes there is a risk management note on my account meaning they have a hold on my driver's license from ******************** and I am unable to rent any cars . This is very upsetting as no one has contacted me nor will they .

Rental on 4/9/2025 Card 0327 ran for $671.43 ($300.00 of this was the refundable deposit).When I had to continue the rental, I had to use a different card ending in 1014. Enterprise then put a hold on new card 1014. That hold fell off when the vehicle was returned. But, the original hold with the charge of $671.43 ($300 refundable deposit) was NOT processed back to the card *******, they are just looking at the $300 that dropped off of card 1014 and telling me that the deposit was refunded, when indeed IT WAS NOT.**** ****** ************

I bought a brand new Jeep in December 2024. Unfortunately. There have been some issues that needed repairs or recalls and required for me have my jeep at the service station for over 24 hrs. Under warranty. I was eligible for a rental from Enterprise. Each time I attempt to rent another jeep, the sales agents lie and give me the run around as to why they are unable to provide me with a car equivalent to what I have already. This has occurred three times. The final straw was them attempting to provide me with minivan, saying that is what I am entitled to under warranty. This is false information. While I wait, I listened to All of the sales agents at this location provide other customers with false information in an attempt to make up sells.

On about 2-24 this yr I rented a car and was supposed to be fully paid for by state farm insurance after someone ran into mine. I made clear I wouldn't even be taking the car except it was being paid for by them. I was told it was a 50$ deposit and that it is returned when I bring the car back. I only had it ***** and only used 4$ in gas. I even kept it in a garage over night. A week after I brought it back I find out not only did they not put the 50$ back on my mother's card they took ****** off of it. I went back and was told it was in deliberation although they admitted it was a mistake. Was told she accidentally charged some kind of extra insurance for like stuff I had in the car. I still don't even really understand what that even means let alone ask for it. My phone is only worth 1.20 at no time did I even have anything in the car worth much. The insurance check I got from the settlement from state farm was only 1000 I would be insane to ask for some kind of 300$ extra protection. Like I said I barely used it. They know they made a mistake but after 3 attempts they just ignore me. It's obvious they just think I'll move on and get tired of trying. So that's the story not complicated. They basically just got in the credit card and took what they wanted. I've never rented a car before as I don't typically have that kind of money. I barely get by on a small social security check from a mental illness. I think they guess I won't be able to do anything about it or what to do. I guess I don't but someone sent me a link to this. I don't have a credit card so I borrowed one from someone and told them it would cost 50$ then they would get it back. I have to pay back what they took which I can't really afford but I'm going to though. This happened at enterprise Rent-A-Car In ***** OK from women named ****** *******. I have the receipts in my email . They know they shouldn't have taken that money but ignore me ne way. I would be grateful for any help you can give. Thanku

This rental car company does not inspect their cars before they rent it out to customers. I when I picked up the car it was damaged and the company did not perform an inspection. If they did perform an inspection they would know the damage was already there and they would not need to file a lost damage report. I have tried to contact the company by phone and get in contact with a higher level manager but nothing has happened. The damage department for Enterprise told me the report is pending. The car was already damaged when I picked it up and if they inspected the car they would know about it . This company wants the customer to pay for the damages on the car from a previous rental so enterprise does not have to pay for the damages. If they did inspect their cars before then none of this would happen. I attached an image of a customer who had the same problem with ******************** at the same location two weeks ago. I have been to other branches of enterprise but this is the first time I have had this problem with the company inspecting their own cars. When I returned the car, the workers made me wait 30 minutes while they helped other customers as they said I damaged the car and had to file a claim. This is not my fault and I dont need to wait and do all this work for the companies mistakes and ill practice. I have been treated unfairly and unjustly. It really is a mental burden to have to do all this work and put in effort for a case that is not your fault and should not happen. I would like to seek compensation for this and mismanagement this company has caused for not doing their job. Evidence can be provided that the damage was before the rental but they need to drop their case and process a statement. I dont want to deal with and wait for a business that cant check their own cars. Thank You

5/2/25 flew in *** and went to ***** to pick up my car. Was informed I was on the "Do Not Rent" list having to do with alleged damage to a Detroit car in 2023. In those two years I have received NO call, No emails, No US mail about alleged damages. I was told "Pay $1621 and we will give you a car". A good company would have been in contact in days, not two years later. As careful driver I would know if I damaged a car. I naturally felt SCAMMED! I have since called their ********* for further details and again get back No Call, No Email, nothing. They have failed to substantiate or remediate the claim in any way. In fact, the claim does not align to my dates in ******* in 2023. So who is making up fiction in the back room at *****/Enterprise? This activity is on the edge of being criminal.

Went to pick-up a reserved vehicle rental for an eight passenger vehicle on April 14, 2025. They did not have a vehicle for me and stated they had emailed and called me. This is false. No help at all. Vehicle was for a trip scheduled for high school students to the *************. Called help line for enterprise who referred me to a Southgate facility who also didn't have the vehicle. Several more calls for help gave promises of a call back that hasn't happened yet.

I am filing this formal complaint regarding serious service failures related to Enterprise Rental Agreement #7ZX1DV. The rental began on April 24, 2025, at the *******, ** location and ended May 2, 2025. The experience involved multiple locations and departments, resulting in significant disruption and unresolved financial impact.While Ive had prior maintenance issues with this location, this is the first time Im submitting a formal complaint due to the severity of the failures.Summary of Events:I rented a 2025 **** Q7 on April 24. While in **************, I encountered multiple dashboard warnings:Max oil level warning Caution alert Check engine light I contacted Roadside Assistance, documented the issues, and sent dashboard photos to customer service.

On arrival, I was told no vehicle was ready and waited over two hours before receiving a Jeep.The replacement Jeep had popping noises - which I did not notice until on the interstate, raising new concerns. I returned it to ******* on May 2 and requested a full refund, which I was told would be escalated. On May 8, I was offered a partial refund for only two daysan offer that does not reflect the repeated failures, lost time, or the disruption caused.Additionally, my credit card was charged in full upfrontunlike in previous rentalscausing financial strain given the unsafe vehicle and delays in replacement.Customer Service Failures:I was repeatedly redirected to Roadside Assistance, with no ownership from customer service.Calls to the ********** location went unanswered, rerouting me to the national ********** responses were templated, disjointed, and lacked ***************** proactive support was provided despite my frequent renter status.

Complaint: 23303792

I have reviewed the business' response and am rejecting it because:
I am following up on the recent response submitted by Enterprises **************** regarding my complaint. In their statement, they falsely claimed that an agreement had been reached. This is not true. The only offer I received from Enterprise was a two-day refund, which I clearly rejected because it did not address the full extent of the service failures I experienced.
To be clear:
*No agreement was ever reached.
*I never accepted their offer.
*Their statement misrepresents the facts.
Additionally, their response completely ignores the fact that I was forced to downgrade from a luxury vehicle to a standard vehicle (Jeep), which further disrupted my plans and was not accounted for in their response or refund offer.
At this point, I request that Enterprise be required to provide a detailed, written explanation of:
*What specific agreement they believe was reached,
*When this so-called agreement was made,
*The exact terms of this agreement in black and white.
As a disabled veteran, I take integrity and honesty very seriously. It is extremely concerning that misleading statements have been made in an official response to the BBB. I respectfully request that this be addressed and corrected on the record.
Thank you for your continued attention to this matter. I look forward to your follow-up.

Customer Answer

I am writing in response to Enterprises recent statement indicating they do not intend to take any further action regarding my complaint.
To be clear: Enterprise has not resolved this matter, nor have they made a good faith effort to do so. Their refusal to act further does not reflect the facts or the continued impact of this situation.

Specifically:
I was offered a two-day refund, which I explicitly rejected. This offer failed to address the service failures, inconvenience, and downgrade in vehicle class.
I reserved a luxury vehicle and was instead given a standard Jeep, which did not meet the criteria or expectations of my confirmed reservation.
The vehicle I was issued experienced mechanical issues, and Enterprise failed to provide a timely replacement, resulting in financial hardship and avoidable disruption.
Enterprise falsely claimed that an agreement had been reached. That is entirely inaccurate and misleading.
As a disabled veteran, I take integrity and customer accountability seriously. It is both disappointing and unacceptable that Enterprise has chosen to misrepresent the facts and walk away from responsibility.
I respectfully ask that this complaint remain open as unresolved, as no adequate resolution has been offered.
Thank you for your continued support and attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

***** *******
