Enterprise Car Rental

I live in Long Beach, NY and am thinking of renting a car from Enterprise for a three-day trip. I am not willing to put 600 miles on my 19-year old classic car.

Query: Does Enterprise really pick you up and how reliable are their cars?

We have a few locations near me but whenever I pass, I see only a few cars in their lot.

Anybody have any experience renting from them on Long Island?

I%26#39;ve rented from them in the Hamptons. They do pick you up, but you then have to go to their location to sign contracts and pick up the car. They don%26#39;t bring the car you%26#39;ll use to you. I would imagine these may be franchised, so not sure if they%26#39;re all ';equal.'; Have you checked to see if any of the car dealers do rentals?

The other thing to consider is heading toward your destination (where are you planning on going?) by train and renting closer to where you want to be. You%26#39;d save gas and maybe get a cheaper rental.

Thanks for your quick response. No, actually, I need to start from Long Beach. Am heading up to Penn State for a Board meeting and don%26#39;t want to put some 600 miles on my 1990 classic right now. Trying to baby it.

You have a good thought about checking the local offices as they may indeed be franchises.

My point was, maybe you should consider going part way by train if you don%26#39;t need to stop along the way. What about taking the train to Philadelphia or Princeton and then drive from there? Less driving for you, less gas, maybe cheaper rental.
