Last minute car hire, was told I had an upgrade - that's the only positive!
The alloys were covered in scratches and marks, of which I was told it's not a problem, only if there's damage to the wheel would they charge. As it was raining, I gave the wheels a quick once over, but didn't fully go over them, BIG mistake!
On returning the vehicle, the staff member went straight to the front wheel and said the tyre was damaged, I'd just stepped out of the car and he'd barley looked at it before informing me I'd be liable for it. I instantly thought there was something fishy going on, as he started to recite the story, word for word that was given to me upon collection. I was charged £1000 for a 'damaged' tyre and told the claims team would be in touch the following day. He was insistent that this would be resolved asap, as safety is their number 1 priority (that and not renting damaged cars) A few days went by with no contact, so I called and was told that someone was looking at it and would come back to me tomorrow - no one did. More time has passed and I had the misfortune of speaking with Megan, who couldn't' have been less interested if she'd tried. She informed me the claim is still being investigated and someone would come back to me within 8 weeks! I said I wanted to speak with someone regarding my complaint, of which there was no one available. There's also no one available at customer services, you can raise a complaint and someone should come back to you in 48hrs.
Enterprise - you're super quick to take payment for renting damaged cars, but your customer service is appalling.
Trust the reviews, they're all correct about them having awful service.
I'd rather walk than rent from these crooks again...
