Fabulous holiday vehicle hire company. Will definitely use again.
I needed to book a large vehicle for 4 adults and two small children. Booking was easy and the vehicle ideal for our purpose. Discovery Cars was easy to locate at the airport and the collection process was fast, friendly and efficient.
