Wrong answer, Enterprise! They’re getting killed on their Facebook page over this.

“a sign prominently displayed on the key drop-box reminds customers that the vehicle remains their responsibility until it can be checked in by an employee.”
YEP...
And her Insurance will only likely pay up to the value of the car she owns, NOT the Mustang, unless she has a rider that specifically covers rental cars.
Most people don’t actually read the rental contracts, and have no idea what their liabilities really are.

Doesn’t Enterprise have their own insurance to cover theft from their own lot?Or are they trying to double dip?

Out-the-door price of $42,500 includes taxes, plate and transfer fees (doc fee of $500 waived also).

“Cockerill’s insurer said the car wasn’t in her control, so it shouldn’t be her problem.”
WRONG...
She is responsible for the car until the location opens, as stated in the rental agreement.

No mention of cameras covering the lot. Did she even return the car, or just the keys?

Not likely.
Enterprise Self-Insures, which means they keep a liability bond on file with each state they operate in. Not sure how it works in Canada.

I’ve had a couple of bad experiences with Enterprise and won’t go near them again.

You would be amazed how many times that happens, and the car is later found in the ravine where the renter wrecked it.

What if you purchase Enterprise’s insurance they always try to sell you?
To: rickmichaels
If she were still in possession of the vehicle and using it, and someone stole, then I'd agree with Enterprise. As it is, she returned in in accordance with their procedures and somebody stole it because they didn't have a secure enough drop off. How about a parking lot withe one-way spikes at the entrance?
The sign on the key drop-off box gives them a little cover but not much. If they're not going to be there at certain times and expect the customers to drop off the cars, then it's their responsibility to provide adequate security and the consequences should fall on them if they don't, not on her.

The company has a system whereby the renter can drop off the car. It is their system made available to their customers by them. They can shove the bill you know where.

Ive had a couple of bad experiences with Enterprise and wont go near them again.I have too, and I try to steer clear, but situations come up like on one recent trip they were half the cost even of Budget. Still had to put up with the counter guy being a dick, though.

She says that she returned it. Who knows if she really did?

Hey Enterprise....You have theft insurance on every one of your cars and I'm sure it's full coverage.
Or you could blame it on your dumb return policy. No security cameras??
To: iowamark
Good point, I never thought of that. Must not have whatever the Ford equivalent of On-Star is or LoJack or they’d just call the cops and go get it.

they should have cameras showing the drop off. at that point, it's on their property and it's their responsibility, regardless of some sign on the door. otherwise, any criminal group could just start jacking cars in rental lots knowing the company doesn't care since they'll get money from the customers insurance company
meanwhile, the rental company should have insurance against theft on their own property.
it's up to them to secure their own lot.

To: Farmer Dean
Absolutely. Cars must be insured by law.
That's why your insurance company tells you it's not necessary to buy the insurance offered by the rental company....it's already insured.

If she were still in possession of the vehicle and using it, and someone stole, then I'd agree with Enterprise. As it is, she returned in in accordance with their procedures and somebody stole it because they didn't have a secure enough drop off. How about a parking lot withe one-way spikes at the entrance? When I drop off a rental car, even at an attended facility, I make a point of making a short video of the car, inside and out, all angles, to have a record that the car was good when I dropped it off. If attended, I also record the attendant acknowledging receipt of the car.
