Zachary, Jun 2020
Cons:
I didn’t even get to rent the car because I didn’t have a valid pay stub that was valid for the last 30 days prior to renting. But due to COVID-19 that was impossible considering I was laid off back in March. Was told a bank statement would’ve worked but Enterprise doesn’t take that as a “proof” anymore so I’m not even sure what the point of telling me that was.Budget
