“We booked a vehicle through Enterprise rent a car, with pickup from Heathrow on 20 Sep 2017, through until morning of 12 Oct 17. We had booked a medium sedan. First our quoted price was exactly what we were asked to pay, other than cost of a full tank of fuel which I elected to pay for rather than worry about how much fuel was in vehicle on return. We had booked the vehicle in automatic and with GPS. After a few minutes completing the admin arrangements, the customer service rep advised there were few auto's available and said would be fine we could have a FREE upgrade. We walked to the car she selected and were loading our bags when she found that someone had hit a gutter and taken a piece of rubber out of the tyre, and then said well you can't take that one. That's OK she said I will have to give you ANOTHER free upgrade. We then proceeded to a near new Nissan Qashqai SUV and drive off pretty happy. Our return of the vehicle went very smoothly, and we caught the shuttle bus to the International Terminal. We have all seen horror stories about car rentals gone wrong, on this ocassional we could not have been happier.”
“Avoid, avoid!! Terrible service from the Enterprise office at Bilbao airport. When returning a hire car, the girl behind the counter (Naiara) inspected the car and decided that there was a chip on the windscreen, which was invisible to us. On much, much closer inspection it looks like there may be a tiny mark smaller than a mosquito. She started scratching it with her metal pen and made it several times bigger. Then proceeded to charge us for a brand new windscreen. We took pictures of the mark. A few weeks later when we receive the bill and new pictures of the damage from the repairs garage, they show a completely smashed windscreen!!! And the invoice states broken windscreen. On further investigation it turns out that the repair garage is also located at the airport and probably run by the same company that runs the Enterprise and Atesa franchises in Bilbao airport. We called them multiple times to clarify and they were obstructive and extremelly unhelpful. Enterprise head office should be investigating how these people at Bilbao airport are representing the Enterprise brand and company name. The service that we received was awful, and their behaviour was more suited to backstreet dodgy dealers than to a reputable multinational company. Enterprise should be embarrassed of how this Bilbao airport office is trading under their name.”
