Service firm/organization: Enterprise Rent-A-Car Midtown/Times Square New York
Date: Saturday 20 October 22 2012 Time: Approx. 12 Noon Location: Brooklyn
Details: Car rental from any location in the city. Last Saturday at around noon when I was hanging out with my pals in one restaurant in Brooklyn I received a phone call from my brother informing me that my father required rental car for the family. My brother informed me that family car had developed some mechanical problem. He requested me to look for an alternative car. There are many rental car companies in the city and; therefore I had to make a choice. I knew two most prominent rental car companies but I opted for Enterprise Rent-A-Car.
I had their official hotline and customer service phone number. I calleda hotline number but it was busy. I tried again but still it was busy. I called the alternative customer service number and it went through on the first attempt. The customer service representative (CSR) was nice to me and provided an appropriate response to every inquiry I made. She told me about the various classes of cars at their disposal charges duration and liability issues. She further informed me about other arrangements that the companies provided like chauffeur driven cars. I gave her my physical address and on reaching our residence I found the hired car had already arrived.
The customer care representative I had talked to came along with the driver of the car. She further gave details of the services they offer. She told us to take proper care of the car and we signed for two days rental services. She requested us to pass through their garage within the city for a final car checkup before leaving for our destination. My father brother little sister and I left our residence at around 2 PM for garage. We met a very jovial gentleman who quickly inspected the car and informed us that it was in satisfactory condition. He also gave us a phone number that we could contact the garage in case of any problem with the car. The father had not informed us where and exactly were going to hang out but he had informed the customer care representative that we were travelling to the neighboring county for a period of two days.
We passed through the company office made the final payment. We left the office at around 3:30 PM and this is the time when our father informed that we were to visit one of aunties whom we had never met for ten years. The CSR called to confirm whether the car was fine and how we were faring on.
On Monday morning I returned the car to the company garage and found the CSR and the gentlemen who had inspected the car on Saturday. The gentleman received the car and inspected the car and pointed out that the car was in satisfactory condition. We went into the CSR office where she thanked me for choosing Enterprise Rent-A-Car. She told me am most welcome again and I should inform friends and relatives about the company.
