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 never did secure a vehicle and was unable to taken all of the group

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. I was told to exchange the vehicle in **********, **. I emailed and called ahead to confirm availability but received no response. 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.

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,

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

Hello, I picked up my rental car and waited 47 minutes from the scheduled pick up time. When I was late returning the car they billed me for a extra day. I was a hour pass the return time. Realistically a time adjustment should have been made since the car was late being given to me. But they charged a extra day. I left a review on ****** and complaint. customer service then reached out asked for my information and said someone would follow up. No one did. I went through the website and sent a follow up complaint again my information was given customer service apologized said they are sending the complaint to the branch and to the regional manager since no one follow up was taken on the 2 complaints before. So 3 times and Enterprise doesn't follow up. No email or call. They are just blowing me off and I want some type of follow up.

I rented a vehicle from them September 2024 and the vehicle was stolen. I paid out of pocket to return home because they would not assist with a replacement vehicle.Upon returning to town, I asked if there was anything I could do to help with the claim and was told the vehicle was being 'written off.'Fast forward to December, I am notified of a claim on my personal insurance which I did not make (I have liability only.) Enterprise was trying to collect on my personal insurance without my permission, damaging my insurance history.I offer to work with Enterprise, as I had obtained third party rental insurance (which I told them when the vehicle was stolen.) I repeatedly attempted to retrieve the police report on their behalf and have thus far been unable to obtain ****** Enterprise is threatening to collect the vehicle cost of over $43,000 from me personally, or otherwise send the issue to collections. For four days of travel, this is an egregious amount and has caused me immense personal distress.

I rent a car through enterprise while my car was in shop getting fixed. On a Friday afternoon, I went to enterprise about a concern I had about them changing me extra money for the rental when the rental was covered by my insurance. On the next day Saturday night, enterprise stole the vehicle from the location that the car was at. I called the city to see if the car was towed by the city of *******. They can't find anything in the system about the rental. I filed a police report and also contacted enterprise about this matter. Enterprise said that they find the car but they didn't find it through the Chicago police because the police would've notified me that they found the car so that suspicious that enterprise recovered the car and enterprise had also stated to me that the car didn't have tracker on it so once again, how did they receive the vehicle if the police didn't report the vehicle being found and if enterprise so called didn't have a tracker on the vehicle. Enterprise is now trying to get me to pay for the vehicle saying that it was damaged and it is my responsibility to pay for the damages. They are continuously harassing me to pay for damages that i didn't cause to the vehicle that was safely outside of where i was located at the time. And they are also threatened me to pay or they are going to put it on my credit. I also know multiple individuals that went through the same situation and other scandalous situations with enterprise rent a car business so this doesn't sit right with me at all.

RE: Case# ******** ******* ************

Enterprise Claim Number: 21712178

To Whom it May Concern:

We are in receipt of a complaint submitted by Ms. ************ where she disputes responsibility for the above noted claim. This office handles damage claims for Enterprise Rent-A-Car. We appreciate having an opportunity to investigate the matter.

Ms. ************ rented a 2022 ****** Camry on October 3, 2024, from Enterprise *************** of ******************* d/b/a Enterprise Rent-A-Car located in ********, ********. On October 22, 2024, a person identifying themselves as a friend of Ms. ************ advised the rental branch that the vehicle had been stolen; a claim was created. On October 24, 2024, Ms. ************ contacted the local branch, stating that the vehicle was taken by a tow truck, but we were unable to find an impound record for the vehicle. The local branch instructed Ms. ************ to file a police report on the theft and file a claim with her insurance company.

On January 23, 2025, our office billed Ms. ************ for the missing vehicle; our office billed *************************** carrier, AAA, on February 24, 2025. *** paid the claim less Ms. ************* $1,000.00 policy deductible. On May 7, 2025, our office left voicemail for Ms. ************* and the claim was then referred to a third-party collection agency. The vehicle has been recovered by police and was deemed a total loss.

At the time the renter took possession of the 2022 ****** Camry, Ms. ************ accepted the terms and conditions of the rental agreement which indicated she was accepting the 2022 ****** Camry in good physical and mechanical condition and would return the vehicle in same condition as received, ordinary wear and tear excepted. The vehicle was stolen and recovered with damage. Per the rental contract executed by Ms. ************* she is responsible for all vehicle damage or theft which occurs during her rental period. At this time, our office will continue to pursue Ms. ************ for her $1,000,00 policy deductible through a third-party collection agency.

Should you require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact our office.

Sincerely,

******* ******, Analyst

My car has been out this week due to a repair need. My warranty company made a reservation through enterprise.They called me, and the time did not suit me. I called three other locations. Over the course of ******** I called five locations, which became less and less accomodating. I made a reservation for 5/7, and to be picked up.I was not picked up. Called the company, and they said they could see the reservation at a different branch. They transferred me to the branch. The branch manager said that they had been waiting on confirmation. I asked what they could do to accomodate me. They said they had no cars. I lost my temper, and said there was mothing they could do. I called a total of seven locations, all of whom could see my reservation, none of whom could get me a car until friday afternoon.I called the dealer to confirm ny car will be done Thursday afternoon. I will have spent $800 in lyfts to get to work. I feel tgey have screwed me over by providing no car when i had a confirmation with a time and they refused to reserve a car. I do not understand how they can all see my tental but none of them can provide a car.

Complaint: 23300208

I have reviewed the business' response and am rejecting it because:

At no point in our call did the business make clear that they were responding to my BBB complaint, nor did they bring up or address my grievances. It was directly framed as a courtesy call about my reservation, asking if there was anything they could do. At that point I had no need for a car and told them as much and the call ended. At no point did they bring up that they failed to get me a car for my reservation, or despite the fact that they had it that they failed to provide a car. No one addressed that I had made an appointment for that Wednesday that was either lost or forgotten. It has been two weeks since the reservation was set and no one in the company made any effort prior to the BBB reaching out to see why i did not use the reservation, or to address the complaints I made to managers at at least two different locations. I feel that Enterprise has decided to act as though they have no culpability in this matter, and their so called call was a clever ruse to skirt responsibility and pass the ***** I feel as though the three days I was out of a car and Enterprise actively failed to do their job at multiple locations as a company are monetarily owed to me. The fact that they did not directly address my complaint and treated this call as a passive after-the-fact customer service call that brought up and addressed nothing is insulting to my dignity and intelligence. I believe they thought they would weasel their way out of what was owed and close this quickly. I reject this.

Sincerely,

Good Afternoon, The time is now May 7th 2PM and Enterprise has not resolved my Dispute of a unlawful charge of $325 made by Enterprise Rent-A-Car around April 29, 2025, which was withdrawn from my account without justification. I still have not recieved a call or anyone solution to this problem.Time records of my call:April 25th I called my bank to place a dispute: dispute claim number is ********.on April 26th my dispute was rejected. I kept on reaching out to Enterprise during this time frame and spoke to a *** that promised me that they will contact me but have not yet (please ask them for call ref ID 3T348H)According to this investigation, their charge was deemed valid based on a citation that was allegedly incurred while the vehicle was under my responsibility. However, I have obtained and am p***ared to submit definitive evidence that demonstrates the following:I returned the rental vehicle prior to the date and time the citation in question was issued.I am in possession of the timestamped return documentation, supporting citation notice, credit card usage with date of returned vehicle, and video footage confirming the vehicle was no longer in my custody at the time of the alleged violation.The citation, ***ortedly for a school bus-related infraction, could not have been committed by me as I was not in possession of the vehicle.The continued withholding of this $325 has had a direct and negative impact on my personal finances. This unexpected deduction has caused delays in paying essential bills, disrupted my budget, and negatively affected my ability to meet basic living expenses.I have requested that this matter be rectified immediately by enterprise and that the $325 be refunded without further delay. All supporting documentation is available for your review upon request, and I am willing to cooperate fully to resolve this issue promptly.I have allowed Enterprise ample time to reach out, but they have not done so. Please help me.

On March 5, 2025, I rented a car from Enterprise at *****************************************. I paid for the *** (Collision Damage Waiver) coverage, clearly listed in the rental agreement at $14.99/day. Despite this, Enterprise is demanding $19,784.02 for damages. Ive already submitted proof of *** payment, but they continue to deny coverage. Their representative responded unprofessionally and sarcastically.

Thank you for the opportunity to respond. Management has reviewed the complaint brought forward. Our records and the documentation provided by the customer show that the customer initialed to decline all protections upon rental pick up. The provided documentation also depicts the line-item cost of the protection products per day. However, the zero-dollar amount billed to the customer due to their declining of coverage, is out of frame. Management has prompted the customer to provide sufficient proof of payment sharing that this documentation can be obtained from their financial institution. There will be no further action taken at this time.
