On 7/8/23, I had picked up a vehicle that I reserved. Upon pick-up the agent that processed the rental failed to walk out with me and do a walk-around as previously done for the many years that I have rented from them.
Due to me having a previous issue with a refueling charge that I had to dispute with my credit card company; I decided to snap a photo of the dash showing the mileage and fuel gauge.
Upon return of the vehicle on 7/10/23 I replenished the fuel back to where it was when I picked up the vehicle to avoid a refueling charge.
On 7/12/23, I received an invoice stating that the fuel tank was full upon pick-up and I didn't return it on full; resulting in a $65.52 Refueling Fee.
I called the local Enterprise Rent-A-Car where I had rented from and explained to them what had happened. I was told that I would receive a refund for the disputed amount.
Several days go by and no refund, so I then send a text to the office to inquire. I receive no response. I later called and emailed Enterprise Corporate via their website, no response.
I in turn, dispute the charge via my credit card company.
Due to this same refueling error happening twice to me. I decided to file a complaint so that a record can be kept. They are committing fraud and they are failing to have proper practices and documentation.LOCATION INVOLVED

My son, ****** *********, rented a car from Enterprise at the Davis, CA, location. He got into an unfortunate car accident. The car was towed to a local tow yard in Sacramento and ****** was taken to the hospital by ambulance. All of his belongings, including cell phone, hearing aids, vision glasses, expensive scrubs (he is a nurse) were left behind in the rental vehicle. The next day he contacted the local rental agency in Davis to retrieve his items. He asked to be allowed to go to A1 Towing in Sacramento to get his belongings back. It would have been very easy to do that. Instead, he was told that the vehicle would be released from the tow yard to a local enterprise location within a couple of days and they would notify him immediately of the location of the vehicle so he could retrieve his belongings. After 6 days he had not heard back and called again. He was told that the matter had been turned over to their corporate office and asked that he call that office, which he promptly did. The corporate office told him that he needed to contact their customer service office, which he promptly did. The customer service office referred him back to the local rental location in Davis. He was given the runaround and nobody at Enterprise made any effort to assist with retrieving his items. About 2 weeks later, ****** received an email from Enterprise's risk management department, **** ********* *** * ******* **** ********** ** *****, ###-###-####, with an invoice for the damage caused to their vehicle in the accident. ****** wrote back to Mr. ******** to make him aware of the missing items. He responded that this was the first they heard about any missing items and that he had failed to contact them in a timely manner. Mr. ******** said that had ****** contacted them in a timely manner, they would have granted him access to the vehicle to get his belongings back. Mr. ******** also stated that the vehicle had since been auctioned off to a third party and the items could no longer be retrieved. ****** submitted telephone records to Mr. ******** in the risk management department showing all the numerous phone calls he had made to various Enterprise offices in an attempt to get his belongings back. After Mr. ******** saw that he had made every effort and had done his due diligence, they changed their tune. He responded that ****** had failed to purchase additional insurance for personal items and he attached a portion of the rental agreement saying that Enterprise was not responsible for any personal items prior to, during and after the rental term, not even if such items were stolen by people in their own company.
While we understand that ****** may not have a legal remedy to hold Enterprise liable for the lost items, since he did not purchase additional insurance, Enterprise clearly failed to direct ****** to their division that would deal with such an issue. He was directed from one division to another, to no avail. As a customer and outside person, how would he have know to contact the risk management department when he was never told that?
The items in question have a value of at least $10,000. The hearing aids along are at least $6,000, his cell phone over $1,000 and his vision glasses close to that amount. He also had work clothes and other items in the vehicle (the rental was for a period of over 5 weeks while his own vehicle was in the shop).
Enterprise's failure to take any kind of responsibility in this matter is wrong and appalling.LOCATION INVOLVED

This customer was involved in a total loss accident in one of our rentals around 6/6/2023. The Risk Specialist assigned to the Davis location received the renter's about lost and found items. Per the customer, they had contacted the renting location, customer service, and DRU about the lost and found items, but the Risk Specialist was not aware of any items in the car until receipt of the customer’s first email on 7/12/2023. In review of the unit history, they found that the customer’s rental was towed by a California Highway Patrol dispatched tow vendor to impound (A1 Towing), moved by Eagle Towing out of impound to Omega Collision for an estimate, then subsequently moved to auto auction Manheim Central California after being deemed a total loss. The vehicle had been auctioned on 6/22/2023 prior to Risk Management being notified of the potential lost items. They reached out to both Omega Collision and Manheim to see if they took any items out of the car, but the vehicle was heavily damaged so they did not enter the vehicle while in their possession. Manheim confirmed with the buyer that no items were in the car when they received it.
A 3rd party tow vendor did the initial tow, the vehicle was stored in impound, and the customer did not purchase our Personal Effects Coverage. We had no way of knowing what items, if any, were in the car or if any items had been removed by other parties prior to coming into our possession. Since no protections were purchased by the customer, we took the position that we were not responsible for their items and the Risk Specialist sent him the rental contract details reiterating that we were not responsible.Customer Answer

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:Enterprise was contacted on multiple occasions to retrieve the items in the vehicle. After contacting the local rental location Justin hours after the accident, I was promised to be notified when the vehicle would be returned to one of their locations so I could get my items. I called a few days later, after not hearing back and was given numbers for one department after another to contact to retrieve the items and nobody within Enterprise referred me to the correct department and nobody took any responsibility and nobody assisted me in any way to retrieve the items. I offered to drive to the tow yard - A1 Towing - and was denied to access the vehicle. I have provided telephone records that show all the calls I placed to enterprise in an attempt to get my belongings back. The fact that Mr. ******** from their risk management department now claims he didn’t hear about the lost items until the vehicle was auctioned off is absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable! Enterprise clearly failed to provide any assistance to me, as their customer, after being in an unfortunate car accident with one of their vehicles. It was not a lack on my part to attempt to get the items back. Every enterprise office I contacted referred me to a different department - the local rental location, their corporate office, their customer service office, back to the local place. For them to now say that I failed to purchase additional insurance for personal items is unacceptable when Enterprise did absolutely nothing to help, even though they were contacted in more than a timely manner and on numerous occasions at a time the items undoubtedly could have still been retrieved before the vehicle was finally auctioned off. Enterprise should at least admit to some fault and take at least part of the responsibility for the loss of my belongings! Any other response is clearly unacceptable, dishonest, and shows unacceptable business practices!

I reserved a rental car online, through ****** Travel. The reservation pickup time was 12:00pm. I called and confirmed that the rental car is available at 1:15pm. At 2:00pm, I arrived to pickup the rental car. I was advised by the employee that he already rented my car out. He said "Do you expect me to hold it all day?" Yes, actually, I did expect the car to be available since I reserved in 6 days in advance AND I called 45 minutes before arrival to confirm that the car is waiting. I called the corporate office and was directed to the "escalations department". She then advised me that she would contact a manager and have them call me back about the problem. I requested a call right away so that we could rebook another rental car. This was a week ago today and I still haven't heard from a manager.The initial rental place was 30 minutes from my house, but since they didn't have my reserved car available, I had to drive another hour to the other location to pickup a car. The reason we chose the original location was because it was cheaper. We ended up having to reserve another car, drive farther, and pay more. We were trying to leave town to take our son to college 9.5 hours away. This put a big wrench in our plans and we haven't even heard back from anyone regarding the issue.Customer Answer

8/16/2023 My car was placed in the shop and enterprise brought the rental to the repair shop. It smelled of strong deodorant but I had to go to work so I said I would return it later. As I was driving the smell became so overwhelming I developed a headache. It smelt like cigarettes and weed with perfume. The facility it came from closed so I call enterprise and they said I can exchange it at the airport. And they would let them know I’m coming for the exchange by 7pm. I get to the airport and the manager says they misinformed me. He does not exchange cars unless there is a break down in the vehicle and I would have to drive the car back home and go to the other rental site in the morning and there is nothing he can do. I called there 24 hour line and they escalated the call so that I can get an exchange. I have been standing here for 45 minutes with my two daughters because we are now stranded until they straighten this mess out.Business Response

I was overcharged by enterprise rent-a-car in the amount of $162.49. One overcharge of $137.03 and one erroneous toll charge of $25.46.I rented a car (with delivery and pick up in the agreement) for 5/26/23 5/30/23. The car was delivered to my workplace under the wrong name so I had to go to the branch speak to an employee and receive a print out of the agreement so the car would be released to me. I returned to check out my car at my workplace and it was dirty (despite their clean pledge). I needed to get going at that point, so I left with the rental anyway. I returned the car to our usual drop off location 5/30/23 @ 8am per the agreement. On 5/31 I received a reminder notification to return the car. I sent an email to the branch manager letting her know I had already turned in the car to no response. 6/2 I received an email from enterprise saying I returned the car 6/2. The same day I emailed customer service letting them know the charge was incorrect to no response. Monday, 6/5 I reached out the branch manager and let her know as well. 6/10 I received a pending charge notification of a Toll Charge for 5/31 (after I had already returned the car). I notified the branch manager to no response. 6/12 the toll charge went through. I notified the manager and they said it would be resolved that day. It was not. I visited the branch as well and the manager said there was some kind of issue where my booking info was switched with someone elses and that it would be resolved after speaking with the district manager ******* because they could not figure out how to correct and process the refund. I have been back and forth with the branch and the district manager for months now with no resolution.

I rented a car for Monday, August 7, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. from **** ** **** at the Oak Lawn, IL location. The car was dirty and had not been cleaned and sanitized. Dust was visible on the dashboard and interior. I mentioned it to the manager, ******* and he offered a discount upon return. After completing transaction at office, I left to begin my road trip. While on the expressway I used the windshield wipers to clear the windows. My sight became blurred from the worn blades. I was unable to see temporarily while driving. I called enterprise and was told to come back for another rental. I was an hour into my trip. I concurred and returned. I was given another vehicle filthier than the first. The walk around inspection revealed scratches, cracks and a long crack along the back fender on the passenger side. I told this to *******, the manager and again he promised a discount upon return. On the highway the back fender shook until it partially disconnected from fender and blew off. It caused other cars to screech tires and sway lanes to avoid the dislodged piece. I called the office and was told to go to another location for yet another car. The next township was too far and out of my distance to travel. I returned the car on Wednesday, August 9, 2023 at 2:00 PM instead of Thursday, August 10, 2023 at 12:00 PM. Not only did I not get a discount, the manager further stressed me from berating me and being condescending about my experience. I wasn’t even getting credit for the early return.

Had an Auto Claim through ***** *****. My car took a long time for repairs due to the backlog that we have here in Michigan with availability. The shop referred to the Enterprise location 10334 Eight Mile Rd, Royal Oak Township. They put me on a Do Not Rent list because I did not answer the phone. After they charge d my card I thought we were all good plus and their were no issues with payment. My working hours are the same as theirs and I have a strict no cell phone use policy at work. Im on a do not rent list for 12 months as if Im some type of Criminal. I called the Department that handles that and spoke to the Regional Manager, ***** He refused to have me removed and said it was my fault and responsibility to stay in contact with them. I had an insurance claim and it was to my understanding that the adjuster normally sets the appointments and handles all of that, so that was to my understanding. Well my case kept being opened and closed behind the scenes because the shop kept asking for additional pay and so it prolonged everything and then I was told that I was out of contract. I understood that but I still dont understand why I have to keep talking to them everyday since they had my Credit Card. I dont rent often but normally they hold your card for a certain amount and they charged my card. They refuse to take me off this Do not rent list as if I owed somebody some money. It only went to the Recovery Unit because they acted as if I ran off with their car and that was not the case. I dont appreciate them doing that to me have call logs where I called the week before and explained what was going on but none of the guys said anything at that time so I thought I was good. I talked to a young lady who explained to me what was going on and she said something about me needing to do a contract now that it was over 30 days. I have a new claim and cant use my benefits properly. Kyle said he does not have a Boss, by the way. This have been an inconvience

I had an accident where the car was totaled. The insurance made a reservation for me at enterprise. Getting the car itself was a breeze. The people were nice at the time and took care of me. I had to pay a $50 deposit to get the car, so they had my cc information on there.
I only had the car for a week and worked with the insurance to get it extended. I was informed to make sure the gas was filled otherwise they would charge extra fees which I did. What I wasn't informed was that the suv they gave me was an "upgrade". Apparently the insurance only had a reservation for a car, not an suv which I was not aware of. The insurance did not approve of the upgrade so enterprise decided to put that charge onto me instead.
There was no warning and no receipt. I was at work when I saw the charge of $221. I called the first time and they tell me the insurance shortchanged then. I call the insurance and they said it was because they didn't approve of the upgrade. I call back and get ******** who then tells me that she would have told me and why did I call in today about the upgrade if I knew nothing about it until that day. I called earlier that day, that's why. She then tells me that she'll call later which she never does. I call on my lunch and reach a guy who then tells me that there's nothing they can do and that it's closed out. Said I would have better luck getting the insurance to approve the upgrade.
I don't feel I should be charged an upgrade I wasn't aware of. I called back on my last break just to see if there was a chance it could be fixed before I reported the charge. The girl I reach called me a liar and proceeds to tell me I called a week ago about an upgrade. I called the insurance about an extension, but I did not know of an upgrade until today. I asked her to pull the call and she said she did but it was only the transcript. So she was going off of a flawed transcript and notes from someone who could have been trying to save themselves.Enterprise rent a car

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.
When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.
BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic.

As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
