really helpful!
I had a negative experience with a local rental company in Sardinia that refused to accept my Quebec driver’s license, even though I had prepaid through DiscoverCars. I was frustrated, especially since I hadn’t noticed a small clause in the provider’s terms. But I have to highlight the excellent customer service I received afterward. Nicolas took the time to carefully review my case and, although DiscoverCars wasn’t technically obligated to do more, he offered me a full credit for future use — a gesture I truly appreciated. Thank you to the whole team — and especially to Nicolas — for your understanding, professionalism, and commitment to long-term customer satisfaction. I’ll definitely continue using DiscoverCars for my future trips.
