Bodyshops don't tend to have Croma sized automatics.

Enterprise car rental are a bunch of divs, they have lost themselves a massive account.
I'm going to just use a little manual car from the body shop instead.
Car booked in for next tuesday

Care to expand out of interest?
Bent over backwards for me this month with a courtesy car.

its already in the thread but...
B&M were happy to pay for hire car, I went to enterprise they said cant invoice B&M unless B&M have an account, that was fine with B&M they told me to ask enterprise to contact them to set up the account, so i gave all the details to my local branch, they never contacted B&M. So i find all the details to open an account on line, i gave the link to B&M and they filled it all out and also rang to find out when account would be active, enterprise said 3 working days, its been a lot longer than 3 working days and the account still isn't active.
B&M asked me if i could find another hire company, to save time i have just gone with the diddy car, B&M are more than happy to pay for that its over 100 quid cheaper
Fair play. Like you say, useless lazy divs
As I said before, the B&M guys are now near enough billionaires (they were merely multi millionaires when I shared an office with them, although I was only on a normal salary so not in their league or even close to it!) but they are pragmatic guys. If they saw that it would have made sense to open an account for car hire they would have gone with it, but they will also not be fussed if this little rental outfit seems to be saving them some money.
It seems like they have been very fair with you, which I am pleased to see.

yeah they could have been worse, thanks for pointing me in the right direction for who to contact
The Lady who I've been dealing with said they would be happy to open an account with enterprise as they will probably use them in future. I cant see why enterprise didn't jump at the chance to secure a major account. :shrug:
Probably because whoever you dealt with at Enterprise is on minimum wage, completely demoralised and couldn't care less about the company's welfare. This seems to be the main attitude in most big companies these days - you try and help them and the staff seem to just get annoyed that you're giving them more work to do.
I guess it's the company's fault really - for not training, paying or treating their staff properly. Or perhaps they just employ the wrong people.
it hardly constitutes a major account then does it ?
Enterprise who deal with car insurance firms and probably rent hundreds of cars a day all over the county to people like Aviva and direct line will not see the occasional rental to a company like B&M as a major account
If they don't open the account they'll never know will they?
OP
OP
i would have thought there was some sort of bonus scheme for securing an account.
B&M are opening new stores every week so very likely they would need cars to send training team to different stores.
Mrs Dave is in retail and the firm she works for isn't opening hardly any new stores but still has some cars on hire from enterprise for regional support managers.
They will always be hiring cars either because their "own" cars are off the road, or they need something temporary that isn't worth buying or longer-term leasing.
As I said though - you will never find out what the potential is if you don't bother to open the account.

well cars now in the bodyshop, they have lent me a c1 to get around in, its not as bad as the matiz, but not as useful as a cinquecento. for a boot door it only has the rear window no chance of getting anything apart from shopping bags in there.
