confusion about the drop-off timing
I had a recent rental through DiscoverCars.com and wanted to highlight the excellent customer service I received from Sabina. There was a bit of confusion about the drop-off instructions, but Sabina handled the situation professionally and with great care. She responded quickly, provided a clear explanation, and even arranged a partial refund, which I truly appreciated. Her kind and thoughtful approach really turned things around and showed a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction. Thank you, Sabina, for your help and for making the experience a positive one in the end!

User-friendly and transparent platform
The platform is very easy to interact with. As a search engine, I really appreciate how the main filters are all covered and also the terms of the overall rental (specially, safety deposit).
