Ive been dealing with Enterprise for 2 1/2 years this particular location for over a year and a half and then the last 67 monthsIve been getting treated. Ive been feel like Ive been racially profile been making me feel like I dont belong there when all my credentials and checks out and they try to treat me and talk to me any type of way then when I file multiple complaints over the months, nothingnever gets done. It always gets swept under the rug. They always tell me when I call **** that they dont have a manager or supervisor. Call me I still have yet to hear from a manager Then when I call **** and they tell me this again late last week I had a blowout I got beyond frustrated so I asked people what is it gonna take for somebody to get hurt for yall dont wanna do something. Im tired of his unfair treatment. Im tired of peopletrying to talk to me crazy. I spend way too much money in the last Year and a half. Ive spent over $30,000 in rental fees and then getting treated poorly by two managers at the south 27 location nowthey put me on the do not rent list for no reason and now theyre not releasing my funds. I havent tore up a vehicle. I dont anything. Theyre overcharging me for for stuff they shouldnt be charging me for I booked the standard SUV. The car that I had had issues so I hadto be told and I had to go get another car. The car had issues Then they put me in a little car and was charging me standard prices for economy car that didnt accommodate my needs thats the whole of me booking standard SUVs to accommodate my needs. I have five kids, and now a newly added grandchild.

Ive reached out to Enterprise to resolve this issue numerous times my contract was for 30 days. They broke my contract within my 30 days so I still have eight days that that priced at $398 plus change for the week on top of $300 security deposit that I didnt receive so Im missing about $698-$700. I just want my money back thats all.

I left my sunglasses in the glasses holder when I returned my car. I called the location the next morning and was told that the car was being serviced and that they would retrieve them as soon as they got the car back and call me. When I realized that I received no call, I called again but this time got a call center. I was advised to file a lost and found claim online (which I did) and call the location again. After repeated attempts to contact the location, I called customer service who transferred me to lost and found. I was told that they could not help me because I did not have the number generated when I submitted the case. I have been given the run around ever since and have not received a callback despite being told that the location manager and area manager would call me. I finally was called by an administrator at the location who told me to call lost and found again and then hung up on me.

Yesterday, which was April 1 I had my car serviced at ********** in **********. They diagnosed it for $180 and they charge me for a rental car for$50. I didnt ask questions. I knew exactly what I was taking in the car in for it was not resolved however I paid it because was a diagnostic fee and the fee that they charged me. I now have received a phone call today which is 2 April from the car rental facility stating that I owe them additional funds andthey are withholding my deposit of $100. This is not my problem and I shared with them that they need to communicate this with the dealership I took my car too. I didnt ask for an exclusive price or any sort of benefit or discount I paid what I was charged **** think I should get my deposit back. I left the car with no damages of any kind, and I even filled the tank up as was asked to do I would like my hundred dollar deposit back and I want this resolved

Good morning,
As I mentioned that the charges were made through the car dealership for the rental car of $50 for the rental car. I just received a notice from my bank that the rental car facility has also taken out the $100 deposit which was refundable, as well as $21.03. I am blowing away at how they are coming up with this price for a small car rental! I actually filled the car up with gas and promptly return the rental by end of the day. I have gone on their website to see how much a car would cost for the day, The same exact car I used on April 1st would should have cost me in total $40.11 including tax, so I'm not sure how they came up with $121.03. But I do not think this is fair and I think it's extremely unprofessional! Especially without my authorization and I will be calling my bank to dispute these charges as well.

I rented a car on March 26th. I used my corporate account, as I always do with Enterprise, which I rented with them extremely frequently. When signing the tablet, the manager, *******, said he needed my card as it was not on file. I advised I was happy to give it to him but I was confused why it wasn't on file as I book company rentals with this location very frequently. After giving him the card, I confirmed there would be no additional $300 hold for the security deposit, and he confirmed there would not since it is on my corporate account. The next day, I viewed my bank statement and saw that he told me incorrect. He did charge the $300. I called very calm and asked why it was charged, he stated that it is always charged. I explained that isn't accurate as it's never been charged with my company. He nonchalantly said, well it was charged but it will come off when I return it. I thanked him and ended that call. I also reached out about the car having no AC for the entire time I used it for my work trip. We were all very uncomfortable, as I rented a car that should function completely, especially since we had 97 degree weather those days. I called and spoke to ******* about it, and advised of the situation. Once again, very nonchalantly and not caring, he stated that he could only do a $50 credit. I advised, with the issues of not being able to use the car, due to heat, and we had to use **** primarily, I would appreciate a more significant discount. He had no care and said he wasn't doing anything more. He also charged me an additional $12 per day that I did not agree to as some part of a damage policy. I asked about that, and he stated as well that I always have that, which is incorrect.

I rented a car from the Enterprise Rent a car in *********** and returned it on Friday 3/1 at 6:30pm. To my surprise I get an email Monday morning saying the car has been returned. and I was charged for 2 extra days. I have called and spoken with ******* at the local store, emailed her twice as she questioned whether or not I forgot to return the car. I sent her pictures when I dropped off the car. I spoke with corporate 2 twice both via chat and telephone. I also visited the business in person and was told that they would refund the overcharge without a problem. But that was over 3 weeks ago now. I don't know what else to do so I am asking for your help since they are not helping.

I was told to pick up rental car to use from this business by a State Farm adjuster so that my vehicle could be repaired after being backed into by a State Farm Client from the above location in *******. There is a body shop in this building also and I quickly told the adjuster that I was bringing my 2024 vehicle to my dealership where I bought it in *********** as I have extended warranty and I did not want any problems with my warranty in the future because of substandard being used to repair it. I picked up ****** Camray that had ****** miles on it with dents and scratches on it and the person who took me to the car took pictures of all the damaged spots. I returned the car back with ****** in the same condition that I picked it up. A young walked around the car and said that everything is good and she will email me the paperwork which I have not received. Then on Feb. 3rd I received a bill for $1674.01 for damage on the car

The only thing that I received was that it was looking into my complaint and it might take a couple of weeks, which I was hoping for a response soon from them. The only thing I have left was I had taken pictures of the damage before I left the rental place as the enterprise employee was also videoing the existing damage prior to my renting it but I only have one picture left on my phone and that was damage to the driver side rear fender. All the rest of my pictures was pushed out as I was taking pictures of other things not pertaining to this. The rental agreement that I downloaded which I found after I was notified that I was responsible for damage to this vehicle shows nothing about damage and as I said, The Female employee that walked around the rental car with me stated that everything was fine. If I damaged the car, you would assume that I would have been told right then and there and not weeks later. I did not damage this car. I did not want to get a car from this location but the State Farm Adjuster said that I had to and I told him that this was totally in the opposite direction of where I chose to bring my new SUV which is under warranty and he said that I would have to get the car at his Location. This location has a auto repair shop with the Enterprise rental place in it. So I Believe that this was a set up. ******

I could not open their response as I and I had someone come and open it for me and I don't understand what they have decided to do but I am letting you know that the employee took the iPad and was supposedly videoing as he was pointing out the damage to the bumper and rocker panel but he just said panel and that is the TRUTH. ******

Prior to taking possession of the rental car, I specifically inquired at the rental desk about how tolls should be handled. I was advised to use my personal EZ Pass tag, which I did throughout the duration of my rental. Despite this, more than a week after returning the vehicle, I noticed an additional charge of $416.40 on my account for toll fees.

Upon discovering the charge, I promptly contacted Enterprise and provided my EZ Pass statements, clearly demonstrating that all tolls had been paid using my personal account. Despite furnishing this proof, Enterprise has refused to reverse these fraudulent charges, which I find both unacceptable and unjust.

I request an immediate review of this matter and a full refund of the incorrect charges. If this issue is not resolved promptly, I will have no choice but to escalate my complaint to the appropriate consumer protection agencies and consider further actions, including disputing the charge with my credit card provider.

Sincerely, Dan D'Alessio

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

As I mentioned in the initial complaint I did provide enterprise with proof that the tolls had been paid on my account as well as attached to this BBB complaint and department of consumer affairs complaint however enterprise didnt refund the $417.00 they incorrectly and without authorization charged my card.
further enterprise has failed to respond the very simple straight forward question of why $417.00! The toll at the Verrazano is $2.75 each way $5.50 round trip . If I crossed the bridge every day for the entire 42 day rental period (which I didnt) and I paid zero tolls (which I clearly did) see the statement that would only total $231.00. This clearly a mistake and it needs to be refunded immediately

Complaint: 23145134

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

1) Enterprise has charged my card $417 not the *** or ** pass. Enterprise keeps deflecting like they have nothing to do with it.
2) Enterprise is not reading the ** pass statement accurately. For example I may have crossed the bridge on a given day twice and again the next day twice. ** pass dosent always post on the exact day so one day may show no charges but the next day will show 4. But the transaction dates are easy to match if someone is genuinely interested in matching each charge.
3) Enterprise still has not addressed how they arrived at $412. If I paid no tolls the entire period of the rental that only amounts to approximately $231. And a Quick Look at the ** Pass statement I provided to Enterprise when I discovered the charge and again attached to this complaint I clearly paid the tolls on my own ** Pass tag daily.

Sincerely,

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

The customer is able to use their personal ** pass. They would need to register the license plate to their personal ** pass account. In the instance that the customer is double billed, they are to reach out to the contact information provided in each response. Tolls for the ** tolling system are handled with a third party. We are not able to refund charges that are not on our system similar to tolls from ********. The customer has been properly advised, and we wish to get the matter resolved for the customer. They would just need to reach out using the contact information provided.

1st you claimed my easy pass didnt scan at toll . I proved it did!
2nd you claimed it didnt scan everyday. I proved it did!
Then you didnt respond to BBB.
3rd now you claiming I needed to register my esay pass before hand. Thats not what your desk clerk stated nor has anyone until this point claimed that
and you are still failing to address how you come up with over $412.00 thats quadruple the tolls if I paid nothing which I did

he week of March 24, I made several reservations to rent a vehicle from Enterprise, at various locations. Each time, there were no cars available. I finally rented a vehicle from Enterprise Rent a Car in *******, with the intention of driving it to *********, which is where I just moved. I noticed a loud reverberating throughout the car, that continued to get worse- louder and shakier. I called the next morning and was advised by roadside assistance that I could go to the ********************************* location and they were expecting me and could swap my vehicle out. The staff at the airport told me they had too many bookings and sent me to ***. The staff at *** told me theres no way due to the number of reservations, even though I made it abundantly clear I had been advised Id be made priority and was in an unsafe vehicle, now two days delayed on my trip. I called roadside assistance again, who said they would now escalate it to another branch, 4700 34th. I was advised to call in the morning. I did this, and the guy working told me he had 30 bookings to fulfill. I told him the situation and he repeated himself. I told him that Id been advised the issue was escalated and that Id take priority for a vehicle. I asked if I should call them back and make sure its escalated? He told me sure you can try that but I have 30 bookings. I called roadside assistance again who said that I should try again the next day since its Sunday. Yesterday, Monday, was day 4 trying to get a resolution. I spoke w several people, assuring me that Id receive a resolution that day and that a field supervisor would find a vehicle for me and call me w where to pick it up. Nothing was done. Today I called to check status to learn its been escalated to a series of levels, meaning people keep passing it on to the next guy instead of helping me find a replacement vehicle at one of their dozens of locations in the area. Ive been paying for a car I cant drive and with time I dont have.
