My experience with this Enterprise location was extremely frustrating, largely because of how the situation was handled.
When I arrived to pick up my rental, Kevin Sang, the manager, informed me that I couldn’t rent a vehicle because of an outstanding damage dispute from four months ago. I explained that I had paid the damage claim in full immediately after it occurred. Rather than helping resolve the issue, he simply handed me a phone number to call and went back to looking at his phone.
I called the number, only to sit through several minutes of insurance and Enterprise Plus recordings before reaching someone who couldn’t help me. They transferred me to another number, where I spent another 20 minutes on hold without getting any closer to a solution. During this entire time, Kevin made no effort to assist and remained disengaged.
After exhausting every option over the phone, I approached Kevin again and politely explained that I had already spoken with multiple representatives and still had no resolution. Only then did he give the situation his full attention. Ironically, he resolved the issue himself in less than a minute by updating the claim in Enterprise’s system.
However, the frustration didn’t end there. After the system was updated, I waited another 40 minutes for it to process. During that time, Kevin disappeared, and the employee at the counter could only tell me that he “wasn’t sure” when the update would go through. There was no communication, no status updates, and no sense of urgency.
After waiting for over an hour in total, there was still no update and no rental car. Not a single apology was offered—not for the incorrect flag on my account, not for the hour-long delay, and not for the inconvenience.
Before leaving, I respectfully suggested that Enterprise improve its internal system so customers who have already paid damage claims don’t have to go through this ordeal in the future. Instead of taking the feedback professionally, Kevin became defensive, repeatedly made excuses, told me he was “done” with the conversation, and walked away.
In the end, Kevin refused to rent me the vehicle, so I left and went to the Hertz location next door instead. Despite Hertz’s mixed online reviews, the service I received there was vastly superior. They treated me professionally, got me into a rental without unnecessary delays, and made the process straightforward.
I’ve rented with Enterprise for years, which made this experience especially disappointing. Mistakes happen, but the way they’re handled matters. A manager should communicate with customers, take ownership of problems, and treat people with professionalism and respect. Unfortunately, that wasn’t my experience. After this experience, I won’t be renting from Enterprise again.
