Standard

Car was picked up with damaged and was noted in the contract but still being charged for the damage of over $2K. Called and was routed to multiple departments with many phone calls. It hasn’t been resolved yet. We have videos and photos as proofs that the damages were there before we checked out the car. Very bad customer services

Everything went fast and easy. I was lucky and got a car upgrade. The airport bus that took us to the rental village at arrival lasted half an hour, that was a bit annoying, but it had nothing to do with enterprise.

Never rent from them. If you do, video tape the car before you drive off. They rented me a car with pre-existing minor paint damage and accused me of creating it. They are dishonest. I've never had to deal with this before and have rented hundreds of cars. This is the only company I've encountered who does this.

They charged me for damages that didn't happen when I had already contracted insurance and been told by the agent that no additional charges would be added to my account.

I did not pick up the car as the wait was over an hour as only 2 staff. I went to a rival rental desk next to Europcar and hired a car in under 10 minutes

although pick up is stated to be open until 11pm, on our arrival at 8pm it was closed. no possibility to contact anyone - phone was not answered, no messages, no information. this is the worst that could happen on an evening arrival in a foreign country. beware of renting a car at stansted airport!

We received a confirmation the day prior to our rental at Stanstead that our rental was okay has booked several months ago. When we arrived at Stanstead we found out that the Budget office there had been closed for more than two months. We had to rent a larger car from another agency. Extremely poor service.
