Cons:
We arrived at the airport and found 5 other companies had onsite cars. Enterprise was off site. I didn’t even have the number to call. I couldn’t call because I don’t have cell service out of the U.S. so I switched to National and got a car on site for the same price! Easier to pick up and return.10.0 Wonderful
