I had a minor accident with the rearview mirror of my car and was charged by the rental company. However, DiscoverCars' full coverage allowed me to get a full refund. They asked me for 5 business days but on the same day I received the news that my request had been approved. Alexander, the Customer Satisfaction Specialist, made everything perfect for me. Satisfaction from start to finish. Looking forward to the next rental with DiscoverCars.

Perfect Company, perfect service.
Finding and getting the car was easy. It is very smart to offer a free shuttle from the airport to the office. I was greeted by very nice and kind young people and received the car very quickly. After a few days, a minor technical problem appeared with the car.I am an engineer myself, and I know that sometimes there are technical problems that you cannot foresee and avoid. I called the phone number provided. The staff acted in a completely professional and efficient manner. In about 15-20 minutes, they contacted a service center 2 kilometers from my location and arranged the repair, which was done immediately. I was also greeted with respect at the service center. After returning the car, it wasn't until I was at the airport that I realized I had forgotten my GPS device in the car. I called Customer Care, the GPS was found and subsequently handed over to a friend of mine, whom I sent to the Rent a Car office in Sofia. At all times I was treated with respect and friendliness by all of the Rent a Car staff with whom I had contact. Thanks to all of you.
