Pros:
Staff was friendly, and personableCons:
The location address given was wrong. It took me to the middle of the road. I ended up paying a taxi a lot of money to drive me to 3 different locations before finding the right one. It took over an hr to do the paperwork and get my car. For drop-off I was told I could drop it off early and there would be someone there to take me tk the airport. When I arrived nobody was there and I had to scramble to find an uber to get to airport on time2.0 Poor

Pros:
Enterprise owned their mistakes by reimbursing me for the transportation and gave me a discount of the car rental.Cons:
My flight was to North Terminal, however, the pick up was at Terminal 1. Enterprise failed to pick up me from terminal as well as failed to pick up the phone. Terminal 1 is new terminal and it still lacks informative signing for car return and car rental offices. At rhe pick up I could not have dealt with the procedure without of an interpreter as the person at the desk did not speak any other language except Arabic.2.0 Poor

I even paid for alliance insurance which I didn't get the car I rented! I need a full refund!Europcar
