We couldn't pick the car up because we didn't have a credit a card, and we didn't notice that we couldn't pay the deposit in cash or Debit card. So knowing that, and with that being said on the terms and conditions, Sabina was incredibly helping as by accepting our refund so we could pick another car elsewher. That's why despite not having the opportunity to pick the first car, we had a very good experience. Thank you very much, and if you we were the pick a car on any other vacation we will try to rent it on discovercars.com

Everything was perfect but the checking time of car condition was really annoying and wasted too much time. The reason was probably that we took the insurance by Discover cars not by Dirent a car.
