Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?

Buyer Beware! Deceptive business practices to say the least. I chose this location based on their close proximity to my body shop (but I doubt any location would have provided honest service) I was helped by SHIDELL MITCHELL. She took me out to my car with some paperwork on a clipboard and proceeded to tell me the insurance would cover any damage & to be sure to fill the tank to the same point when returning.

We looked over the car & she handed me the clipboard to sign. NOTHING was spoken about it being necessary for me to call the NTTA to tell them I was renting a car so my toll tag would attach to the rental. There is a reason Enterprises DECEIVED ME about this...they charge you $3.95 PER DAY on top of the toll charges if you don't switch.

So, it is to their benefit to deceive their customers. But the sales girl was much more interested in getting the information about what hair color I use than informing me of HIDDEN FEES. She even gave me her personal phone number asking me to send her a photo of the hair color so she could buy it! It ended up costing me over $20 in surcharges PLUS the toll charge per use was higher!

So, basically double... which the company says they have the "legal right" to collect (as apparently the hid it in the fine print of that paperwork I saw for 5 seconds) so they refuse to fix. This is why it's called HIDDEN CHARGES. They HIDE these things in order to rip you off.

In addition to the deceptive charges, they also brought me a car with the front cover hanging and dragging on the ground so I asked for a non-damaged car...then they just brought another car with the same damage. I tried to refuse it but she said it was all that was available and "that it's ok because I wouldn't be charged for the damage".

I glanced around the lot and there were 2 other cars with the same parts dragging on the ground! So, I spent the next week driving a car with it's undercarriage dragging on the ground making noise & stinking of melted plastic!

If they don't fix this absurd overcharge I will never be using Enterprise at this or any other location. And I will be informing the BBB & my insurance company of their Deceptive Business Practices. Enterprise, It's time to change your advertising to "Enterprise...They Rip You Off"

 I love it when I get any/all responses good ir bad. The more angry, the more they obviously care...or they wouldn't take the time to write. Either the employee is getting their friends to write rude rebuttals on their behalf....which means I reached them and they will likely adapt their behavior in the future.

Or I'm reaching the public which is the point of these complaints. Again, I never expect anything to be done by ins co, BBB, etc....I just shine a light on deceptive behavior. Light brings change.

- And why would they tell you to call? Did you ASK what you needed to do? hen you got your toll tag the terms you agreed to included that ANYTIME you wanted to attach a car it was YOUR responsibility to notify them to add it to your account...even temporarily.

If they don't fix this absurd overcharge I will never be using Enterprise at this or any other location. And I will be informing the BBB & my insurance company of their Deceptive Business Practices.

- Whenever someone makes a statement like this it is quite hillarious.  First the BBB is a company that is paid for by business..for business.  They may provide some assistantance to some consumers, but the reality is that they have zero regulatory power to do anything. 

As for your insurance company, I am sure they will say that they appreciate your comments and probably give you the impression that they care.  But I can guarantee you that if you checked with your insurance company a year from now...they would still be using them and nothing would have changed.

 Yawn...stretch....apparently I hit a nerve...People read reviews and that includes this website, yelp, BBB, etc...it doesn't matter if anything happens for me. What matters is businesses accountability. Have a nice day.

Did YOU Read What YOU Agreed To?

 Any provisions regarding tolls would have been explained on the contract YOU agreed to. YOU didn't sign this woman's mouth...YOU signed and YOU agreed to the terms on the WRITTEN contract! Don't use the cop out of "she didn't tell me" when it was the written terms and provisions of the contract which YOU agreed to WITHOUT reading!

You can also forget the BBB. The BBB is NOT part of ANY government or law enforcement body. The BBB and all their PHONEY BS has ZERO POWER to do anything. The ONLY purpose of the BBB and their BS is to SELL their PHONEY "accreditations" and their PHONEY "ratings" to ANY business which pays the price!

NEXT TIME...use COMMON SENSE. When you are asked to sign a binding contract, READ IT FIRST!
