Enterprise Rent-A-Car UK Avis 13

Once over, if you needed to rent a car, it was fun. You could choose the sector of vehicle you were interested in, and then pick a specific vehicle within that sector.

NOT ANY MORE!

I’m a member of the Enterprise Privilege Club. I recently needed to hire a car and, giving notice of one week, said that I would specifically like a BMW 3 Series.

I was told, even at this early stage, that the best they could do was guarantee a car from the group, and it would most likely be a Mercedes.

I don’t like Mercedes these days… they used to be superb vehicles but the latest models are really tacky.

I gave Enterprise another option should they be unable to source a 3 Series, this being a Cupra Leon. I know this is in a lower category but you can see the type of vehicle I like.

All of these conversations actually took place in branch after the reservation had been made, and I could tell from the attitude of those I was speaking to that no effort was going to be made to source a specific vehicle. I stated categorically that I didn’t want a Mercedes.

On arrival I was told that the vehicle they had sourced me a… wait for it… Mercedes, the one brand I specifically stated I didn’t want. It wasn’t a particularly decent spec Mercedes either.

I asked about the Leon and was told they have very few of those on the fleet. I guess they hadn’t bothered looking for one of those.

The staff sit in these offices all day. They are never so busy that a little effort couldn’t be put in.

Being hugely disappointed I walked away and went to another franchise who sourced me a lovely Audi.

A nightmare from hell with this so called global organisation. Horrendous experience with Enterprise Valencia in our Easter family holiday. Our car reservation was cancelled on the same day saying your car is not available and you can cancel it online ! WHAT??! And how about our two day trip we have booked and excursions with the family. As it so happens we couldn’t even cancel it as cancellations not allowed the same day!! Not one word to apologise or find an alternative . Upon return we have raised multiple complaints with the UK customer care and no one has got back to us. Apparently they don’t keep track of previous complaints. Avoid them like a plague unless you want to ruin your holiday plans. I have disputed the transaction with Amex who were professional like you’d expect a company to be. NEVER NEVER EVER AGAIN. Stick to the likes of Avis/Hertz/Sixt etc who give a damn about their customers!

Enterprise Blackpool
Avoid at All Costs
Absolutely disgusted following the return of a hire vehicle through NHS Fleet/Enterprise.
The vehicle was returned at around 4pm in January, no damage was raised with me at the time, and I was advised the hire would be closed. Weeks later I received a damage claim for an alleged scratch that was not there when I returned the vehicle
I requested date/time stamped photographs but only received poor-quality photos without visible timestamps It was initially claimed I had said I “didn’t know how the damage had happened ,” but Enterprise later admitted there was no evidence that conversation ever took place.
The whole process has been extremely stressful and has left me feeling that customers need to protect themselves carefully when returning vehicles and always take comprehensive photographs/videos themselves at collection and return.

I had a confirmed booking at the Oxford Cowley branch and travelled to the centre. After approximately 15 minutes of waiting in the office . I was taken outside the building to be told there were no vehicles available. Payment was already taken from my card. No prior notice was given to me, or I would not have spent money to hire a taxi to get there. I had my children with me . Quite a distressing experience for them trying to get alternative transport . Was given a wrong number when I asked for the head office number . While I was waiting and making calls I witnessed people coming and leaving with cars. I am not in a position to determine the reason for the difference in service; however, the experience has left me concerned about whether all customers are treated consistently and fairly. .I lost a lot of money on taxis to and from that centre and more to look for alternative transport. Overall this experience fell below standards of acceptable customer care.

Disgusted with worthing enterprise. Reserved a van after making arrangements to collect a large item. On way to collect van and was told rental had been cancelled due to unavailability with the excuse just because you reserve it doesn't mean they have it. Bearing in mind it was reserved when they were open at my chosen branch and it took them 6 hours to realise they didn't have a vehicle. I've never heard such utter bullsh1t from a rental company.
Then received an email stating basically as above and sorry for the inconvenience etc. My reply was im extremely unhappy with this and called enterprise sh1te not the staff and now im banned from future rentals. Snowflakes...

IT IS NOT MY FAULT IF YOU COLLECT ON MONDAY AND WE ARE NOT HERE WE ARE GOING TO WORK

I hired a car at the end of August. It’s revered slightly early but I was charged for an extra day of car hire. While the customer service care in Barnstaple was great the drop off at Heathrow was chaotic. It’s been 6 weeks of emailing the company and still no resolution. I should NOT have been charged this and living abroad it’s time consuming and frustrating to still be dealing with this.

The vehicle provided – a tail lift van – was not fit for purpose and caused significant disruption and stress during an already busy moving day.

Upon collection, no instructions were given regarding the operation of the tail lift or any special requirements for its use. When we arrived at our destination, the tail lift did not work at all. We attempted to contact the numbers provided for over an hour, but were unable to reach anyone for assistance.

Eventually, we had no choice but to drive all the way back to the depot to report the fault. Only then were we told that the tail lift could be made to work by “playing around” with the air conditioning controls — something that was never mentioned at the point of hire. Throughout the remainder of the day, the lift remained unreliable, only functioning intermittently when the air conditioning or even the radio volume was adjusted.

This issue caused us to lose nearly two hours of our booking time, severely impacting our moving schedule and creating unnecessary stress. When we returned the van, we informed the team of the issue and were told, quite casually, “oh yes, we’ve heard this can happen,” which indicates that the problem was already known.

Have raised a complaint and had zero response 5 days on. Really disappointed

Disgusted with Enterprise Rent-A-Car Aberdeen Dyce – Avoid at All Costs!

If I could give zero stars, I would. My experience with Enterprise Rent-A-Car at Aberdeen Dyce has been nothing short of a scam.

I returned my hire car in perfect condition. I even have video evidence of handing it back, with staff signing it off and confirming no issues. They refunded my deposit of £200 on the spot, which should have been the end of the matter. But unbelievably, a week later they took £500 from my account with no proof whatsoever of damage. No photos, no paperwork, no explanation.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, they later billed me for even more money, again with zero proof or explanation of any supposed damage. This isn’t customer service – it’s tantamount to corporate theft.

This isn’t just a one-off mistake – after digging further, I discovered multiple customers have experienced the same treatment. This looks like a systematic scam to take money long after the vehicle has been returned and signed off.

It’s absolutely disgraceful behaviour from a company that trades on trust. Enterprise Aberdeen Dyce should be avoided at all costs. If you value your money and peace of mind, do not use this branch. There are plenty of other reputable rental companies out there that won’t try to rob you weeks after your rental ends.

Shameful and unacceptable

Avoid Stratford upon Avon to rent a van …on the site they don’t have vans available out of stock ,they let you to book one after they call you to inform you about stock out and you have to wait for your refund long time…

After returning the car, Enterprise rent a car accused me of a damage that was already on the car before it was given to me. Although, did send them a video that was made before taking the car and it showed the same scratches, they still went ahead to take £500 from my account without any notice, knowledge or an invoice which is theft legally. Enterprise is a disgrace to the car rental and leasing industry and should be banned from operating in the UK. Had to raise this case with BVRLA for Enterprise to admit to the scratch was there prior to the rental. Still waiting for the £500 to be returned and inconvenienced cause to be settled.

Enterprise. Bamber Bridge, Preston is the branch I wish to highlight. Having broke down on the motorway part of my recovery was a confirmed car from the above branch to gey home. On arrival at enterprise they confirmed my booking then told me they had no car. Later they offered a corsa but I would have to wait a further 3 hours. They then revoked that offer and said I could have a long wheel base van instead still 3 hours later. The next branch over had a car park full of vehicles but they would not ask them to assist. I ended up getting a train on my own volition with my family to Preston and then on to Edinburgh. I would give them a minus score if this was possible. First and last time I will deal with this company.

I am appalled by the tactics used by Sydnaham Branch of Enterprise!
I am appalled by the tactics used by your staff, specifically the manager, which I believe led to my daughter scuffing a car on your lot. My daughter, who has only been driving for a year, was encouraged to park in a specific, difficult spot, which resulted in the incident.

Given the prior inconsistencies and poor customer service, I believe this was an intentional act to unlawfully withhold our deposit. We have already filed a complaint and contacted your help number, but we have received no satisfactory support. This situation feels like a scam targeting unsuspecting drivers, and I assure you, I will not cease until our deposit is fully refunded.

The manager Farajan should be sacked for being incompetent , inciting strife and trouble to the doors of enterprise by pulling such a stunt!

Im guessing if I turned up with a big gorilla looking husband he’d soon refund our money ! There’s a name for people like him.
But seeing as where just women, (probably man less in his tiny mind) so he feels superior behind his tiny desk to try this criminal behaviour. Even encouraging us to hire the vans out for carnival and illegally hire it for more cash to others which goes against enterprises terms and conditions. He looks wired and evil and I’m sure where not the first consumers he has stitched up !
