One thing I've noticed about Enterprise, is that they play this game where they don't rent you the car with a full tank of gas. When you're checking the car out, the agent will look at the fuel gauge and notate where he thinks the gas level is. You're supposed to return the car with the gas at the same level. This has always struck me as kind of sleazy.
Is there any rental car company that doesn't do this? Seems like they all do.
Another option is to pre-pay for a "full tank" (doesn't mean you'll get one), but it means you can return the car on empty. The pre-pay option is a little more expensive than surrounding gas stations but not the "bend-over" crazy rates they charge you if you return it below the level it was checked out at. I don't use this option for personal rentals, but I will for work when we have a bunch of crew checking out cars and I don't want to deal with collecting and reimbursing receipts after the fact.
