Called to rent a car on a Wednesday. Lady said "yeahh we don't get our shipment in until like Friday for the weekend." Apparently this is an Enterprise "weekend rental car only" business. Why even open during the week?
Update: went back the following week for a 24 hour rental. They wanted a credit card (bank card not acceptable), AND a recent utility bill. I pay my bills and mail them in, so no recent proof. I didn't know places still existed that required utility bills as proof or collateral as anything. They wouldn't accept ebills, car insurance bills, car payments, phone bills, etc. HAD to be utility. They refused to accept cash (standard US currency) for any type of payment. Management was unwilling to be remotely flexible.
Lesson learned: if you find yourself in a pinch and need to rent a vehicle, I suggest carrying around copies of paper bills (heaven forbid you have an EFT draft of your utility costs), a credit card, your birth certificate, the blood of your first born child and a recent retina scan so they will allow you to take a car for 24 hours.
I now know why Enterprise has the crap reputation it does.
