Only Enterprise

 

From another thread and another cruiser

"Okee Dokee, back from our Conquest Cruise out of Galveston and here to report on Enterprise.

 

As detailed in other threads, some people are charged drop fee's for one way rentals some are not. We were not. As I posted in an earlier thread, when I called Galveston office they said no drop fee but have to setup reservation direct iwth Hobby location. Call Hobby location they quote $50 drop fee. Soooo, called the main enterprise 1-800 number and setup reservation, in email confirmation no drop fee (I didn't ask and they didn't tell me).

 

Show up saturday afternoon at the Hobby rental location with printed copy of email in hand showing no drop fee mentally preparing myself for a fight about adding drop fee's, lady checks me in, doesn't say anything about a drop fee, takes all my info down, walks me out to our minivan and were off.

 

Use the car then drop it off at the Galveston office on Sunday Morning, there is a yellow drop box right in front of the front door. Called Jeff's Taxi service which is on the front window of the Enterprise office and he shows up in about 5 minutes. While waiting for him I photo the exterior of the vehicle for CYA purposes. I finish as he pulls up. Says that it is common for people to drop rentals off at Enterprise on Sunday, I was the third person he had picked up today but comments I was the first he has seen photograph the car when done. Drives me to the port and it was about $15 fare.

 

Simple and easy and cheap, the lesson here for doing a one way rental is to call the 1-800 number and setup the reservation through them and have them email you a confirmation to avoid the local office trying to gouge you for these unneccessary "drop fee's"."

Ok thanks!

Would love to know if OP or anyone else has been successful recently in acquiring a one-way rental. I just talked to Enterprise at Hobby and at the 1-800 number and they both said the same thing, that they aren't doing one-way rentals, period. That was before I said anything about Galveston, so it isn't even that. Now on to plan B, I guess.
