Overall, I had a really good experience with Enterprise. The team was super helpful and professional. I had booked an SUV, but since the previous customer returned it late, I was given a citadine instead. It wasn’t ideal for long drives or hiking, but the staff were very friendly and did their best to help—even if the delay pushed my plans a bit. The car was in good condition, and since I had full insurance and the fuel tank option, I returned the vehicle without any problems. The whole return process was quick and easy. Despite the small hiccup, the service was great, prices were competitive, and the staff made it a positive experience. I’d definitely rent with them again! But they are following policy, so as long as the car is returned in good condition, they won’t try to scam you.

When we arrived, the company informed us that our car had been rented to someone else since we got there with more than 2 hours of delay and they could not provide another car before three days, which seriously impacted our vacation as we had a tour planned with reservations for every night. Nobody ever informed us of this policy, particularly in the confirmation emails that we had. No compensation was provided, although we had to rent another car last minute and expended much more money. An absolute shame.

Total lack of transparency regarding the daily price. We prebooked/prepaid a class and the end charge was double what we expected. No mention at the counter. You don’t get a copy of the invoice at drop off - you get it days later and then they make it difficult to see the charges/details. Unacceptable customer experience with Sixt.

Never got the car, Kayaks terms and conditions stated I’d be charged extra if under the age of 25, Europcar policy is you are charged extra if under the age of 26. I ended up cancelling the rental order as Europcar were wanting to charge me double what I was quoted on kayak. Both should do a better job at ensuring their policies are aligned.

A car was available for me to drive. That was good. The bad: 1) Original quote was for £ 275 - the local Hertz desk charged me £ 691 and tried to charge me over £ 800!! 2) I requested an automatic transmission and got a stick 3) there was a huge scratch in the rear passenger door 4) There was no return sign at the Inverness airport for Hertz, all the other rental car agencies were represented but not Hertz. We had to drive around for 10 min trying to find it, and luckily saw the tiny Hertz sign upon leaving the airport. Kind of a disaster regarding the drop off.
