Discover Cars positive experience
I've booked car-rentals in different countries via Discover Cars web and the app and post service has been positive and helpful; as Sabina managed to carefully solve my case. Even in situations of abuse whereas some local car rental companies try to take advantage systematically of the clients, it was decided by Discover-Cars to refund, and after a few days having sent all the info and details by email of what had happened.

We hired a car in Marrakech for 9 days…
We hired a car in Marrakech for 9 days with full insurance coverage option from DiscoverCars.com. The car was new and in a very good condition. Our window cracked from a small rocks from the car in front of us. We hired the car from Alamo, they provided all necessary documents, we paid to them (Alamo) and 2 days later DiscoverCars fulfilled our claim for the damage and everything was OK. Only positive experience with DiscoverCars and Alamo.
