When renting your car from car rentals in West Lafayette, you should consider the following two main factors. First, consider the available parking spaces. Most destinations within the city center will result in parking difficulties. For easier parking, you may then consider renting a compact car that is able to squeeze into limited parking lots. Second, consider the number of users. If the number is higher than four, then an SUV or a minibus should dominate your car type options. This may, however, require you to make prior bookings for the parking spots.
To remain on the right side of the law, you will be expected to strictly observe the posted speed limits for most local roads when driving your rented car from your chosen car rental among the major car rentals in West Lafayette. You will have to maintain a 30 mph speed limit when driving through the residential streets, 20 mph when driving in the school zones, and 15 mph when driving through the alleys.
For easier parking, you should consider booking a hotel with free onsite parking. If you fail to access one, you will be forced to budget for your car rental from West Lafayette car rentals’ parking in the public parking lots. Among the safe and secure parking options to consider in West Lafayette are West Lafayette Public Library Parking Garage, located along N Chauncey Ave, Grant Street Parking Garage (PGG), located along 120 Grant Street, and 120 Grant St-based Wood Street Garage.

Jun 2017
Pros:
NothingCons:
They make it impossible for you to rent a car. Everything is fine if you have a credit card. You can use debit, but they have to do so much extra. My main issue was, even though I had to money to rent the car, I couldn't because I was not a resident of the state in which I was renting the car. Why does that even matter? Then because of legal stuff, another person cannot rent the car for you. I could not even be approved as a driver due to not having a credit card in my name or being an in-state resident. Maybe Enterprise has these rules on their site, but when reserving through a third party site, the FAQs, and rules and regs can be overlooked. The worst part was the customer service. The Enterprise workers continually gave me a series of wrong information with no remorse. I called before I even arrived asking if I could pay with a debit card. You think at that point, she could have told me I had to be an in-state resident. Then another worker said I could just run over to my bank and get a credit card. Was she insane? You cannot get a credit card same day. You have to be approved then the card takes a few days to get to you. I needed the vehicle that day because I was leaving the next morning. Enterprise wasted 3 hours of my day and were not apologetic at all or offered any alternative solution. It all worked out in the end,no thanks to Enterprise. I canceled my reservation (Thank God, Free of Charge, because I would have raised hell otherwise!!) I rented a Uhaul no hassle whatsoever! GET IT TOGETHER, ENTERPRISE!!! In my book, you are the worst!2 locations in West Lafayette

Oct 2019
Pros:
The staff member I talked to was nice, I was in and out quickly and the rates were fine for the car I was driving (Chevy Sonic).Cons:
I dropped off my car on a Sunday and the office was closed. I had been told to park in any of the open numbered stalls, but when I arrived the lot was full of cars that had probably also been dropped off during closed hours. It seems like they need a bigger lot if there are going to be so many cars, it was not easy to navigate, especially in the dark.5.6 Fair

Pros:
The manager, was not friendly, asked him if he need the insurance that I paid for, he said no didnt need to see it, didnt take me to the rental, pointed at it in the parking lot, and said thats it, didnt come out and do a walk around, for scratches or dings. suv had a very small fuel tank.Cons:

Pros:
The guy who helped us was really nice. Very convenient pick up/drop off location.Cons:
There was only one guy working, so when we came in the office no one was there. He was in the garage vacuuming a car. Too bad there isn't enough staff to have someone cover the front desk and someone else clean cars.10.0 Wonderful
