They asked for $1200 deposits for insurance. They gave me a different car. Wait time was excessive. They are charging me over $200 despite having insurance. Please fix this problem

I rented the car online for one price and when I arrived they raised the price by almost double. I don’t appreciate the bait and switch and will not be using your rental car service anymore.

The pickup price estimate was wildly off and your customer service simply passed it off to the same people who overcharged me. Back to Enterprise.

If you book your car in San Salvador before 6:30am no one will be there. The agent usually arrives around 6:30. Ensure you have a translator or know Spanish. The car we got was an old car the engine light came on on day 3. Car did last the entire 10 day trip though.
