Cons:
I originally called the store and never got an answer. Called enterprise and then got online and got a rental through this site. When I got there no one was on the phone or helping anyone, but per the manager, everyone had been so busy. They had no cars available. So this website was not updated correctly. They said they called me. They never cancelled through the site either as I never received a cancellation notification. I guess we’ll see if they charge me.Hertz
