Pros:

The enterprise rep was very helpful, he made adjustments to our booking and looked for different options for us. The car we got was awesome and almost brand new. And we didn't have to worry about finding a gas station before dropping it off because we knew the gas price they chsrged per litre was you going to be reasonable. Overall, really happy.

Cons:

As usual car rentals do not go smoothly. After their computer said that I could drop the car off at the Canandaigua store, when I picked up the car I was told it had to be returned to an airport location. That meant going to Rochester which required my daughter to go along. She then quoted me a price which did not match the computer's total, even with the change in the return location. Fortunately for me she did change that portion of the rental.

Pros:

Great staff, was all very good!

Cons:

Nothing better then going home to good hospitality. And the comments on the side that I can see are exactly the same comments about the Hamilton, Ontario location. I am finding that to be not the truth.

Pros:

Super friendly and they actually answered the local phone to assist us prior to our cruise ship arrival! At the counter they were fantastic, made sure we had all the info to make the most of our one-day rental in Sydney.

Cons:

They had pickup from the ship/harbor, but were closed at after noon on a Sunday so we had to take a cab back to the ship. Only $10 but shuttle both ways would be extra grand.

Pros:

It was very convenient to get to the location as there was a shuttle that we saw just as we exited the ship at the port of Sydney. The car was clean and comfortable and we really liked the fact that they had pre-printed directions for some of the most popular sites in the area—and the car had Sat Nav as well.

Pros:

When I picked up the car in Sydney at 12:00 PM, the agent was warm, welcoming, efficient, and knowledgeable. She asked what my plans were in Sydney and gave local suggestions as she processed my paperwork. What a wonderful way to introduce me to the beautiful Cape Breton.

Cons:

Everything was perfect.

We are very disappointed with our experience and will never use Avis again. After calling the day before our booking to change the pick up time and confirm (which the agent did confirm there was no issue with the new pick up time and the pick up time was changed), we took a taxi to downtown Avis from the airport as airport Avis was sold out. Upon arrival, Avis was closed and we were left without a rental car to get to our hotel 2 hours away. We took a taxi half way to the hotel before the airport Avis location called back saying they now had a mini van available, even though we had booked an SUV. This cost us about $400 more than anticipated ($100 taxi and can was $300 more for the week than SUV) and 4 hour of our time. It was a horrible experience on my birthday and to start our honeymoon and we will never use Avis ever again.

They sold us on a GPS when the car had one built in, and we paid for the satellite radio and it never got hooked up.

Could not use the credit card we booked with (didn't have the physical card) so we had to pay unexpected fees for insurance that would have been covered by the other card. Gentleman at the counter was not helpful - clearly wanted to go home as it was near the end of the day.

There was nobody there when we got there, had to wait half an hour for someone to get there then when we went to pay they would not accept it because the driver and credit card weren’t the same people. The woman was rude the whole experience also.
