“Absolute joke company, ripped us off after we pointed out tyre damage and scratched wheels before we took the car from Heathrow branch, we were told tyres and wheels are not registered so don't worry about it. Returned the car after the renatl period had ended, they then claimed we ruined the same tyre we pointed out - charged us a full £300 for an old 'damage', claimed the damage was signed for with no proof, and took an extra £100 in a separate payment. When I called to follow up, they cited that it was for a bumper repair, then changed their tune back to the tyre baloney after passing me from pillar to post. Nice way to boost your sales, Enterprise! I wonder how often it happens? The staff are a joke, and the website is equally as pitiful. Read the T@C's properly as they will clean you out if you are not careful.”

“i rented a car from Rock ferry branch. car was washed seconds before i was supposed to inspect it for damage. Took lots of photos. went on holiday. returned car and told staff that warning light had just come on for low tyre pressure. manager said to get damage form??? tyre was pumped up and light went out. then same manager came out and accused me of damaging car. explained again that car was soaking and water was cascading down panels. then was told that £1000 was needed. i only had £80 to last till payday but they took that anyway. I reviewed photos when i got home and when you zoom in you can see where the damage is. i phoned the depot and forwarded them the photos and asked for my money to be returned. Emailed the ceo, branch manager, regional manager and national manager as well as the escalations team. all i get is emails saying the issue is resolved?? and all information has been forwarded. Still have no money. Just keep getting snotty emails from Marketta from escalations team telling me that my claim will be dealt with when they get round to it, no time limit. They cleared my bank with no warning but apparently getting your money back takes a considerable amount of time. So i am using that time to warn people about protecting themselves if they are thinking of hiring from Enterprise rent a car. Take photos of everything. Dont get a puncture or you will be billed for replacement tyre. I have never known a hire company like this in my life!! when female manager "spotted damage" she phoned head office and said damage would cost, at most £150-£180 so why would they need to take £1000 from my account, and that would have been if i had damaged it...which i didnt.”
“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.”
