Colorado Springs, CO 80909
United States of America
The kind service manager at the car dealership that was working on my automobile attempted to get me a rental car immediately, but apparently there had been a rental car shortage in Colorado Springs in recent weeks and a car would not be available until about 2:00 p.m. that afternoon.
I took my family out to see some of the sights of Colorado Springs while we waited and true to their word, Enterprise Rent A Car called me at exactly 2:00 p.m. to let me know that they had a small SUV ready for me. I headed back towards the dealership and called Enterprise when I was about five minutes away. When we arrived at the GMC garage, the gentleman from Enterprise was there, ready and waiting with a vehicle.
He drove us to the Enterprise office located at the corner of Platte and Chelton Avenues. While we went inside to get financial matters taken care of he took the car around back and sprayed it off for us.
The staff at the Enterprise office was exceptionally nice, especially Eric, who helped us. We were waited on quickly and everything was handled in an efficient manner. They already had our information from the dealership and even offered us the dealership rate on the rental since we were having our car fixed there. Within fifteen minutes we were on our way in a very comfortable Chevrolet Equinox.
Driving the Equinox was a pleasant experience. It was clean, inside and out and drove smoothly. It was great to have a reliable auto for the day that we were without our own vehicle.
The next morning Eric called to check in to make sure that everything was going well and the car was working out for us, which it was.
That afternoon the service department called us to tell us our car was ready. We drove the Equinox back to Enterprise where we were greeted by name. Eric came immediately up front to help us. We had gone 2 hours over the 24-hour rental period, but we were only charged for the 24-hour rate. Again, the service was quick and courteous.
Eric drove us back to the dealership where we picked up our car and we were back on the road.
If you ever need to rent a car in Colorado Springs try the Enterprise agency at 421 N. Chelton. I would highly recommend their services to anyone.

Post a CommentThat's very good to know. If you've seen any of my articles on similar affairs you may know that my luck with renting cars, trucks, etc has not been the greatest. =)
Great information about your personal experience with this company. Great to hear you can still get quality service.
Great review -thanks. I happen to be in Denver now - but I LOVE Colorado Springs!
great review. I love to see people getting good service. I have lived in Colorado since I was a kid (I'm in Houston, TX now) and have found myself in Colorado Springs often. It's a very friendly place all around. I'm not too surprised to find good service happening there. :-)
Thanks for this advice. It is always good to know which rental company comes highly recommended during times of need.
