Last week on Monday, March 16, I went to the Enterprise location in Brickell with a reservation through my auto insurance. I was recommended a Jeep Rubicon, and the team brought it out from the garage. I liked the vehicle, and after the associate reviewed it with me, I placed my belongings inside, completed the payment, and was ready to leave.
Right before closing the door, the same employee who handed me the keys suddenly told me there was a recall on the vehicle and that I needed to choose a different car. The timing was extremely suspicious. I stepped out and went back inside, where another employee, I believe named Jake or Dave, confirmed that I had to switch vehicles.
At that point, I declined. It immediately felt like something was not right.
As I walked outside, I saw the same employee showing what appeared to be the exact same vehicle, with the same license plate, to another customer around the building. From what I understood, that customer was not renting through insurance. This led me to believe I was misled about the “recall” so the vehicle could be rented at a higher rate.
I chose to leave without a car because I strongly believe customers should be treated fairly and equally, regardless of how the reservation is made. I also asked for the manager to contact me, but I never received any follow up.
This experience raises serious concerns about honesty and internal practices at this location. If there is a willingness to mislead customers in front of them, it makes you question what else is happening behind the scenes.
I documented the entire situation on video. If management would like to review it, I am open to sharing it directly.
