I rented a Car in Turkey using DiscoverCars. Everything was good en general, except that the rental agency has charged me over than expected and indicated in the reservation. Once I returned to my home country, I filed a claim on DiscoverCars and uploaded the supported documents. Within only two days, my claim was accepted, and they refunded me the difference. Special thanks to Paula who handled my case!
