I went to enterprise on my own behalf to rent a car so I could get to work daily since I do not have a car of my own at the moment. When I arrived at the Raritain location I met a young woman who was very rude and short with me. I explained to her I didn't have time to go back and forth I had to get to work. She asked who I worked for and I told her LiveNation. She told me they have accounts with them and I told her this was my personal rental not anything attached to LiveNation, that was that. She finally got the vehicle which I gave my own money and information for. This rental was never through my job nor through any company card or contract. Now today 9/29/2022 I received a phone call from my boss saying they are blocked from renting through enterprise because I tried to rent a car through them unauthorized when that was never the case. I never gave them a company card or signed anything saying it was for LiveNation. I called the location and spoke with a man who is saying I owe money they tried to call (the wrong number) several times and basically taking it upon himself to act as a collection agency to my job when it was never through them. His words were " You owe ME money!". I am beyond upset because now my job thinks I am stealing from them and I may lose my only income because a rude employee made an assumption, took matters into thier own hands which in turn has domino effected to this.

Thank you for the opportunity to respond. Management spoke with the customer and explained the situation about her employer, Live Nation. The customer is aware that she has no affiliation with them for this rental, and her employer is aware. When the customer originally came to rent the car, she attempted to use a "Live Nation" account for a discount. We explained that if she was not renting for work purposes she would not be able to utilize the account. That is originally how we obtained her employer for the employer field in our underwriting process. I also let the customer know that we did not reach out to Live Nation regarding her balance but her employer actually called us to book a reservation. The agent at the Raritan location let "Live Nation" know we couldn't book the reservation for Ms. ******** because of a balance owed.
Overall, the customer is aware she has a balance with us and cannot rent again until it's paid. She said she will set up a payment plan when she is financially capable. There will be no monetary credit for the customer for her outstanding balance as management does not see any negligence on our end.Initial Complaint

We rented a vehicle in ********* and had numerous issues from vehicle condition to promises never kept to service from representatives in that location and lack of follow up. We filed several complaints with corporate, each time told that it was being escalated and we would hear back. The reference number is ********. It has been several weeks and nobody has contacted us. Every time we try to follow up they give us a bogus number that they say is attached and we correct it and are assured it is in there right and they will contact us but it never happens. This needs to be dealt with!Customer Answer

On June 4th 2022 my pickup truck was involved in an accident. My insurance company setup a pickup truck rental for me at enterprise. I called several locations tried to locate a pickup truck and they all said ******************* on *************, ********* ** has few. So I called Auto Mall location and I was told they dont have any, and they will be happy to get me into a smaller vehicle. but I needed a pick up truck for work. I told to call back end of the day they might have some returns. So I called about 4pm and they said no they dont have any but they will be happy to get me into a smaller vehicle. So I started calling around again and, again i was told Auto Mall location has few on hand. So I called Auto location again and they said no they dont any, but they will be happy to get me into a smaller vehicle. I asked to speak with the manager and I was told hes not available at the moment, But you can call back in the morning we might have some returns. So next day I called about 9am and asked if they have any pickup trucks. they said no. I asked for the manager, and again i was told hes in available, but they will be happy to get me into a smaller vehicle. So I said thank you and hung up the phone. I went online and made cash reservation for a pickup truck and then i called the branch and they confirmed they do have a truck. When I showed at the Auto Mall location I spoke with assistant manager *************************. When she pulled up my order with my phone number she said you have two orders with this phone numbers and she asked are you the one who has been calling since yesterday. I said yes. ****** asked why did you make the cash reservations when you already had one reservation sounding angry. I said you guys refused to give me a truck, and only reason im here is because my insurance company works with enterprise. Trust me i dont want to be here after the way I been treated here. After going back and forth with them they gave me a truck with ***** miles on it.Business Response
