Turning thousands of offers into clear choices

Rental companies describe vehicles, conditions, packages, and locations in different ways. Our teams organize and standardize this information so offers can be compared more easily.

We continually work to map vehicles into understandable categories, keep location and pickup information accurate, present deposits, payment requirements, and rental conditions more clearly, reduce duplicate and unnecessarily confusing results, create clearer packages around the needs of different customers, and add new suppliers, destinations, and rental options.

FAQ about how DiscoverCars.com works

What should I compare besides the price?

Besides the price, compare the supplier rating, security deposit, accepted payment cards, mileage allowance, fuel policy, protection, cancellation terms, driver requirements, pick-up arrangement, and what is included or excluded.

The supplier rating is particularly useful because it reflects feedback from customers who previously rented with that company. Considering the rating alongside the price can help you choose an offer that provides both good value and reliable service.

Why is DiscoverCars.com so cheap?

DiscoverCars.com can be cheaper because we bring rental companies many customers and negotiate competitive rates and packages with them. We also compare offers from major international brands and independent local suppliers, making it easier to find lower-priced options in a particular destination.

However, the cheapest offer is not necessarily the best overall choice. Compare the supplier rating, total price, security deposit, mileage, fuel policy, payment requirements, protection, and other Rental Conditions before booking.

Is DiscoverCars.com a rental company or a booking website?

DiscoverCars.com is a car rental comparison and booking website. We help you compare offers and make a reservation, but we do not own the vehicles or operate rental desks. The rental company named in your booking will provide the car. We will be there to support you for anything you need before, during, or after the rental.

Does DiscoverCars.com work with local agencies?

Yes, DiscoverCars.com works with local car rental agencies that we vet carefully and continually monitor to make sure they meet our standards for the quality of service they provide.

What are the benefits of booking through DiscoverCars.com?

You can compare cars from different rental companies using a consistent set of information. Before booking, you can review the total price, Rental Conditions, supplier rating, security deposit, accepted payment methods, fuel and mileage policies, and what is included. We also offer additional coverage for your rental car to protect you while you're traveling. You can manage your booking and contact DiscoverCars.com if you need help with it.

Do I need to look for the DiscoverCars.com rental desk?

No, DiscoverCars.com is a car rental comparison and booking website. The car you booked will be provided by the rental company you booked a car from on our site. You can find their logo throughout the booking process. You'll also see their name and the pick-up location address on your confirmation page and voucher, along with instructions on what to do when you arrive.

What is DiscoverCars.com Full Coverage?

Full Coverage is an optional product that may reimburse eligible charges applied by the rental company if the vehicle is damaged or stolen, subject to the Full Coverage Terms and Conditions. It does not remove the rental company’s security-deposit requirements or replace the rental agreement. Review the terms before purchasing to understand what is and isn’t covered and how to submit a claim.

Does DiscoverCars.com offer 24/7 customer support?

Yes. DiscoverCars.com provides customer support 24 hours a day in more than 15 languages. Visit our Help Center for help with your booking, voucher, Rental Conditions, modifications, or cancellation. During the rental, roadside assistance and vehicle-related problems should be reported directly to the rental supplier using the contact information on your voucher or rental agreement.

What payment types does DiscoverCars.com offer?

When booking a car on DiscoverCars.com, you can usually choose to either 'pay now' or 'pay part now'. When you choose 'pay now ', you pay the rental price upfront, and at the desk you will only be required to pay for any optional extras you choose there (along with leaving the security deposit). When you choose 'pay later', you pay a small part of the rental price when booking and the rest at the rental desk when you pick up the car.
