Back Bay (Boston) car rental reviews and directory
Despite having a reservation, they didn't have our car, and we had to wait over an hour to get a car - it was the worst Enterprise experience we've ever had. Thankfully they worked with us in Burlington to get a different car, which was appreciated, and they offered a small discount. But overall super poorly managed situation. If you have a reservation, they need to make sure your car is ready!
The car shown in the photos was completely different from the one delivered there. We complained, and they said it was Kayak’s fault because the photo was not of a car that is within that rental category.

2 big problems: - when picking up the car the Lied and said only had electric or 14 passenger van. Once they found out electric car wasn’t charged, they said they had gas van - had flat tire. There were much closer budgets with plenty of cars, but they all refused to allow exchange. Ridiculous! Had to spend 3 hours to drive to and back from a dirty airport in Rhode Island to get car Absolutely greedy, and poor customer service.

Horrible experience. No mention office closed at 6. With no remedy. Happy to discuss.
Location closed before stated hours. Had to drive 45 min to get to an airport location that was open. They then charged me for the extra time it took to drive to the airport location.

I booked my car for 48 hours, but when I tried to drop it off after 47 hours, I learned the drop off location had closed 30 minutes earlier. Because the location was closed at the expiration time of my reservation, they charged me an extra day It would have been nice, when I picked up the car, if they had pointed out that the return location was going to be closed at 5pm on Saturday, as I could have easily been there by the 4pm closing time.

Pick up was painful! Waited over 45 minutes to get to the agent. She was nice enough but then gave me a car that was too big and I took it because I just wanted to get out of there… as I was about to drive out I wanted a smaller car so I had to go back inside (and wait) for the car I originally wanted

Car was dirty from the outside. Service was poor...the agency sent incorrect invoice indicating and charging for 7 gallons of fuel when car was returned with full tank. Either agency is incompetent or too lazy to check vehicle fuel gauge.
I stood in line for the Hertz counter when I needed to be at the Thrifty counter.

We had to wait for our car about an hour at pickup. Other than that car pickup and drop off was smooth. The agent was very helpful and the car was exactly what we needed for a fair price.
