Easy Car Rental

Friday, August 28, 2009 did not start out as a very good day. I had to borrow my moms car to take my son to the hospital at 5:00 am in the morning. He had to go in for surgery. The surgery took much longer than the doctors thought. I had to leave my son at the hospital over night. I was not really happy about that, but I knew it was the best for him.

I left the hospital at about 8:30 pm that evening. As I was driving home from the hospital it started to heavily rain. I was driving on West Interstate 4 because that was the quickest way for me to get home. I had to exit off of West Interstate 4 to Florida Turnpike South. As I was going on the on ramp to the Florida Turnpike South and the next thing I know is, I am being thrown up against the drivers door and being forced onto and over the median, thank god I was able to pull out of the way of the on coming traffic.

It turns out that the other driver lost control of her car. She was driving to fast for the exiting curve on that rainy night. Because of that reckless speeding/driving, the car spun out of control and the back bumper of her car is what slammed into my mothers car. The accident was really bad. Thankfully, I was not injured. Wished I could say the same for my moms car.

The damage to the car ......was on the right front passengers side of the car. Starting at the front right wheel. The wheel was bent in at the top and jutted out at the bottom. The fender above the wheel was smashed in. The passenger door at the seam by the front fender was pulled back and the metal of the door was peeling back. The backside passenger door was dented in and scrapped all the way back to the gas tank. I was lucky I could drive the car the short distant to get it out of the way of the on coming traffic.

This accident happened about 9 pm and it was still raining with thunder and lightening. The Orlando police officer finally showed up at 11:15 pm. Only 2 hours after the accident happened. Once the assessment was done, it was determined that the car was totaled so I had to have my moms car towed away.

That night when I finally got home I was so tired but I knew I needed a car for the next day. I went online to Rental Car Momma to rent a car through Enterprise. It was so easy ! I was able to get a car for the next day. When I went to the location to pick up the car the associates were so nice and helpful. Once I told Elizabeth (the Enterprise associate) what happened to me the night before she gave me a free upgrade on the car plus unlimited mileage. The car I got was a 2009 PT Cruiser. I ended up having to rent the car for a total of 2 weeks.

When I called into Enterprise to rent the car for the second week, I talked with Elizabeth. She actually remembered me and gave me the same rate as the week before. When I returned the car it was so quick and easy. If I ever have to get a rental car again, I am going to go through Enterprise. This company takes care of their clients and makes sure they are happy!
