Enterprise rented and sold cars without side curtain air bags

Tags:

“ Side curtain airbags are standard on Chevrolet Impalas and Cobalts, but when Enterprise Rent-A-Car ordered 66,000 of those models for its fleet the air bags were not installed as a cost-saving measure, according to the group Safety Research & Strategies…
null
Enterprise then compounded the safety hazard by reselling some of the 2006, 2007, and 2008 Impalas and the 2008 and 2009 Cobalts to unsuspecting used-car buyers…

Ads for some of the cars on the Enterprise Web site mistakenly claimed they had side curtain air bags…

“I’ve never seen a standard safety feature removed from a vehicle,” said SRS’s Sean Kane in a report on his group’s work in the Kansas City Star. “That’s what’s so unique about this. I’ve been doing this work for 17 years and, until now, had yet to see this happen.”

Enterprise Rent-A-Car, according to the Star, is the nation’s largest private buyer of new cars and seller of used ones. The company saved $175 per car by not having the side curtain air bags installed, a total of $11.5 million.

“We were quite frankly surprised by the whole situation,” said Tony Di Viesta, another safety expert at SRS. “If you had gone to a GM dealership and bought one of these cars you would have gotten the side curtain airbags as a standard feature. It’s really troubling they were selling them as fleet vehicles without the side curtain air bags.” ( Via consumerreports.org)

When Your Rental Car Gets Robbed

Posted by: PointsWizard

“Becoming the victim of a robbery will ruin your vacation faster than a bad case of the swine flu. One woman found this out on a recent trip to Hawaii, where her rental car was broken into — and she suspects she’s not the only one who’s been ripped off.

Offending Party: Thrifty Car Rental.

What’s at Stake: A trunkload of stolen luggage.

The Complaint: Kelley Carter returned to her rented Dodge Charger to find that thieves had punched out the keyhole in the door and absconded with everything inside, including her luggage in the trunk. Nothing this bad has happened in Hawaii since Greg bought that cursed tiki idol on The Brady Bunch. (See 50 Authentic American Travel Experiences.)

When she returned her vehicle to Thrifty Car Rental at Honolulu International Airport, Carter says she was told by a counter clerk that vehicular larceny “happens quite often” on the island. Carter also filed a report with the Honolulu police and says an officer confided that there are four or five models of cars that every thief on Hawaii knows are rentals, and that those are most often targeted.

So, what’s the deal? Are rental-car break-ins as rampant in the Aloha State as mock luaus? And if so, are rental agencies knowingly renting theft-prone cars? ” (via www.time.com) by Reed Tucker

Enterprise Rent-A-Car Is Unsurprisingly Useless And Full Of Lies

Posted by: PointsWizard 

Read More in: Enterprise Rent a Car, car rental, travel, travel problems

” Enterprise Rent-A-Car failed reader Jimmy in every possible way, which is quite the accomplishment since he only wanted a full size car to drive around his visiting friends.

GEICO, Jimmy’s insurance company, set him up with Enterprise after he lost a head-on collision with a deer. Enterprise managed muck up nearly every step of the rental process, promising to deliver cars they didn’t have, delivering the wrong class of car, and upselling unnecessary insurance that they wrongly said GEICO would cover. Jimmy’s never going to use Enterprise again, and inside, you’ll see why…

He writes:

I’m writing you all to let you know of a fun little incident with Enterprise Rent-a-car (ERAC from this point on).
Day 1: Monday, 3/16, ~7-9:30PM

On the way home from dinner we hit a deer head-on in our car. No one was hurt but needless to say the car wasn’t real drivable. We put in a call to GEICO that evening (around 8) and they got the claim all done and gave me a rental reservation number (we have rental reimbursement coverage) for the ERAC right down the street. By this time it was about 9pm.

I called them, they were closed.

Needing a car for work the next morning, and also having out-of-town guests staying with us and being down to a single vehicle, I decided to call the airport to see if they could help me out. The airport location let me know that they would be glad to help me – but – since SXSW was in town and spring break was going they just didn’t have a car could come pick up that second. I then asked if they could check the location I had the reservation at, and they assured me that since I had a reservation when I arrived at 7:30AM the following morning that the car would be there waiting for me as ‘GEICO would not have been able to make the reservation without a vehicle available’. No big deal, I don’t go in until 8:30am.

Day 2: Tuesday, 3/17

7:30AM – I arrive at ERAC to pick up my vehicle and I talk to a nice girl who informs me that they have no vehicles available – but not to worry as they’re transferring a vehicle from the airport location over to their location for me. “Great – when will it be here?” I ask. “Around noon.” Noon. So, the location that had no car and assured me that a car would be ready now had a car, but I couldn’t get it until noon because it had to be transferred when I would have gladly driven farther away to the airport to get it to avoid this problem.

Awesome.

“What type of car are you getting me? Does my $30/day cover a full-sized vehicle?” I asked and pointed at the sign that said ‘Full Sized’. “Absolutely”, says Nice Girl.” (via consumerist.com) by Carey
