DiscoverCars and Galdieri rent can be trusted!
I went through 2 bad situations and I want to share 2 solid evidences that the lesser known companies listed with DiscoverCars can deserve our confidence. I booked a car in Alghero airport for 1 week during my stay in Sardegna with “last minute rent”. This company is represented by “Galdieri Rent” at the airport. Unfortunately, there were 2 unlucky situations. Issue 1: engine error message in my Citroen C3 after 5 min of normal driving. Another car was immediately offered without questions. The staff at Alghero were super nice and fast at providing help via WhatsApp (call and messages). A few days later, issue 2: my replacement car (Jeep Avenger) had a problem that caused all gage cluster and infotainment screens to go completely black. Meaning I could not see the speed, gas level, etc. The staff at Galdieri Rent Alghero (which represents “last minute rent”) were once again extremely helpful, and problem was solved the same day with their colleagues in Galdieri Olbia (I was closer to them). From my experience, I highly recommend this company, and above all, the staff. These are passionate, trustworthy and hard working people. Well done, 5*, honestly!

Thanks to Alexander from the platform
When I rented a car in Sicily from April 10 to 15, although I purchased full coverage insurance on the platform, the local car rental company ITALY RENT in Sicily charged my credit card incorrectly. Thanks to Alexander from the platform, he helped me recover the charge.
