No Hassles.
No frills car and no hassles. Car had a few scrapes etc at pick up but no fuss made to record. No fuss made at drop off either . Was not full to full as contract so they gained a little fuel. Collection at airport was very efficient.

Great service
Great service, reasonable prices, good that I decided to go for a full cover. Rented a car on my trip everything was good till the last day on holiday. Someone scratched our car. I called the DiscoverCars.com helpline; I was pleasantly surprised with the quick answer, and agent Gunta was very reassuring not to worry about a thing. On my return home, I filled in a full coverage claim, which was successful. Max promptly, in about 2 days, reviewed the case and initiated the money which I had to pay to the rental company for damage, to be paid back into my account.
