Pros: Very good discounts for smaller cars. Fast, friendly, efficient.
Cons: Average prices for higher-class cars, closed Sundays.
The Bottom Line: Save Enterprise coupons and use their service for all you small car needs. For more "ambitious" rentals seek less expensive rats from other, smaller companies.

| mtarasev's Full Review: Enterprise |
In the last two weeks I rented from Enterprise three times and the experience was most satisfactory.
The best thing I can say about Enterprise is that for smaller cars their prices are really competitive. Using coupons I'm regularly getting in the mail I can get 9.99 per day for economy car and 14.99 for intermediate class car (no limit on miles). Coupons printed on the customers' copy of Enterprise contract promise 9.99 weekend rental with economy or intermediate car rental (up to 150 miles per day). You have to make a reservation, through.
For higher-class cars and without coupons prices are about the same as in the other big rental places. I.e. when I really needed a minivan I found it about $25 per day cheaper in a small independent rental. However, both Hertz and Avis were no different from Enterprise.
Another thing is that if the do not have the car you've been promised they'll keep upgrading you till you'll have your car. That's not always a good thing - I did not need a minivan when reserving an economy, but it can work to your advantage.
The cars they rent were in good shape, clean and nice. No problems here. Enterprise will pick you up (mind, that if you'll ask for it late they could be all "booked out") and after you'll return the car they'll drop you off at the pace you need to go. Renting is hassle free and people, at least in the office I was, are friendly and helpful. Also, you can easily extend you rent by calling the office.
The drawback is that they are closed Sunday (again, talking about the office I used) and thus on weekend your car is due by Saturday noon or else you have to keep it till Monday and pay for the extra day.
