Pros: Very good thanks

Pros: Da limpeza do carro, do preço da locação.

Cons: A espera para o atendimento, mais de 30 minutos na fila.

Cons: The money refund taking too long and information about the time needed for this is not the same I was told about

Pros: The condition of car and year.

Cons: How long it took to get a car and how there was no way to get a ticket so your next in line to be brought to airport by shuttle.

Cons: bad service, too long and was a bit hard to find in the airport. Also i didnt receive the car i paid for but it was still a similar and good car

Pros: The Drivalia staff is proactive, courteous, and extremely professional The car was clean, easy to maneuver, and the pickup and turn-in went smoothly, all due to the expertise of your most excellent staff. A pleasure, and I am recommending to my friends that they use Drivalia when boooking through Discover Cars. The staff are fluent in English, they are professional, and very personable. Smiles and respectful tones. Helpfulness. I LOVE these guys.

Cons: I needed more orientation to the car features, like how to find the direction indicator on the display (am I headed North, South, East West?). Otherwise, everything wa fantastic

Pros: Very efficient and good value for money. I also got a meaningful upgrade of the car for free

Cons: The fact that the customer service was not directly via Drivalia until I picked up the car. Going through Discovercar's lousy customer service for any changes related to my reservation was cumbersome

Cons: They have a shuttle that will pick you up at the airport and take you to the rental location , place was nice and reliable, everything was great !

Pros: Long wait to pick up the car, not so much dropping off.

Cons: I was charged for something the voucher says is free and they would not refund me that money. For that reason I would not use or recommend Drivalia.

Pros: Had the car we needed and ready to go

Cons: 2 items came up I wasn’t happy about: - we had a diesel car and on our trip the Ad blue additive warning light came on and required topping up. I had to stop and purchase the fluid and fill the tank. This should have been serviced before we got the car. -Also thankfully I didn’t need to use the spare tire because it was low on pressure and had not been inspected and serviced!

Pros: The car was new. The facility was in perfect condition. The staff members were friendly

Cons: I had a tiny scratch on one rim and the person inspecting the car said it was so small they wouldn’t charge me, however when the final invoice came, they charged 60 Euros. There is no allowance for even the smallest scratch, which is quite different from North American rental companies.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Inconvenient drop off and pick up locations. They did not have the correct child's seat. Slow and bad customer service. Excessive charges...charged a full extra day fee for just 2 hours.

Cons: The receptionist Josef was extremely rude to me at drop off stating they were closed very abruptly at 759 am when they had opened the office and told me to drop the car off at 8.

Pros: friendly, correct handling, very clean garage

Cons: it still is a pity the shuttle, but understand. The car was slightly smaller then choosen Why not toll badge for free?

Cons: I took us more than 45’ to get to the rental site from the airport. They delivered a car with half fuel, when we were heading a long trip, so we found that inconvenient too.

Cons: Great service

Pros: Easy and not nit-picky about all the fine details and scratches like many of their reviews said. They seemed like any other rental company.

Cons: Rented a car for the wrong day and received a call from the company. I asked them to just hold the car and I would pick it up the following day. I was told they couldn’t do that and I was charged $180 no show fee. I had to scramble and rent another car on the same si

Pros: Agent (Joao)Very good to deal with.Explain everything in detail

Pros: Good value, very polite staff. Apologetic for the long wait at drop off.

Pros: Good service, good car.

Cons: Car had no wiper fluid to clean windshield. Had to purchase it.

Pros: Clockwork operation

Pros: The car was great

Cons: The security deposit and extra fees associated with being just under 25 yo.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Zero customer service people working for this supplier at this location

Pros: Some of the staff were friendly

Pros: good service!

Pros: Never got to pick up my car, yet they told discover cars that I did so I was still charged

Cons: Horrible customer relations

Pros: Very nice car

Cons: I told the agent multiple times that I want full coverage, she said yes several times. And then she checked the car for damages before I drove it, I asked her why is that needed when I have full coverage. She said “you’re right, you have full coverage”. Then When I dropped off the car, they told me I don’t have full coverage, it was never part of the rental. This is very troublesome.

Cons: Shuttle pickup never arrived. Brokered service and couldn’t speak with the actual location. Vehicle delivered without full fuel.

Cons: Left €100 to cover tolls buy when returning car i was charged €55 in toll charges. Didn't understand and when questioned they said the €100 its to cover future bills that may come. Be aware

Pros: Service, support and extremely good customer service. The whole renting experience was quick, easy and super smooth. All cars are new, clean and ready for use. The best rental car experience.

Pros: It was as quick as I may expect. The first time I ever picked up a car in Lisbon from a location other than at the airport itself.

Cons: I bumped the car during the rental. That is for me to pay for and I understand that. But the costs of the repairs are excessive for the damages.

Pros: To the point and very friendly staff

Pros: Very pleasant staff

Cons: Delay been picked up, not knowing we had to ring them to come to airport

Cons: I was staying 5 min by car from the shop but your policy only allows airport as a frop off site. Make it just a radius from the shop.

Pros: They do not want to sell more things that tou alredy have.

Cons: Location. They should have a place next to metro stations.

Pros: Excellent reliable services and support, absolutely recommend

Pros: The communication with SADORENT was good. There was a shuttle to and from the airport supported by their office. We didn't waste any time picking up and dropping off the car. The car we received was in good condition and we had no problems.

Pros: Very friendly service during pick up and drop off!

Cons: Would prefer it if the fuel refill were full to full. Bringing the car back with the same amount as when picked up, is more complicated and also wasted money as I overfilled the car.

Cons: Nothing bad to say

Pros: A very high level of service at pickup!

Cons: I loved it all!

Cons: N/A

Pros: Sadorent provided a fantastic service. Staff were all friendly and helpful and the car provided was in perfect condition. Collection and drop of were straightforward.

Pros: It was efficient.

Cons: The drop off process was not very convenient. I had to take catch a plane earlier morning and had to have a fee paid to drop off earlier.

Pros: polite, quick.

Cons: same queue for picking up car and dropping off makes drop off subject to busload of arrivals from airport delaying my getaway, having a flight to catch, this was less than fun.

Pros: A lot

Cons: A new car

Pros: Everything

Cons: The provided car war slightly damaged

Pros: Great customer service. They weren't the typical car rental people why you think are trying to take your money, they were very nice, kind, and helped me quickly.

Cons: The car's fuel light was on when I picked it up. I had to quickly find gas in Lisbon, which is a super crazy city to drive in.

Pros: The service when I picked up the car and how clean the car was.

Pros: Patience and honest

Cons: Pick-up location not close to airport

Pros: Friendly and helpful

Cons: Rep didn't arrive until 45 minutes after the arranged time.

Pros: People were nice and the price was low.

Cons: When I returned the car, there was minor damage to the tire. They took a 200 Euro deposit from my credit card and told me they would call me soon to discuss charges for changing the tire then deposit the difference. They charged me 213.05 Euro instead, never called me, and never invoiced me. Charged me another 72.35 Euro, without my authorization, invoice, or notification. I call - nobody answers or calls me back. When I email them, they do not provide any invoices or answers to these charges.

Pros: effective, efficient people made it work in spite of hic-cups on a very busy day

Pros: kind and informative agents

Cons: n/a

Pros: Everything was fast and easy. Our agent clearly explained everything about the car, tall system, etc.

Pros: Friendly and efficient

Pros: very pleasant staff, worked quickly.

Cons: only one van so there was a big delay as we missed a van by 3 min the next one didn't come for over 20 min

Pros: Friendly service

Pros: When they arrived they were very friendly and helpful.

Cons: They did not anticipate the delayed arrival of the flight and then we waited a long time to be picked up.

Cons: My husband and I rented an automatic car from Sadorent. When we landed, there was no one at the airport to pick us up. We got a ride to the actual location and they were closed. Even though we stated on the form that we would be there at 6, the employees did not arrive until 8 am. First they tried giving us a car on empty with the gas light on, next a car with severe dents and scratches, and finally the only other car left had no radio. So we went two weeks of traveling the county without radio.

Pros: The representative took the time with us to look at the car and find the already existing dents and scratches (there was not that many but it's definitely better to find them all before taking off). If we missed some he looked at his list to let us known. When bringing back the car they seemed to have faith in us and barely checked if we added any scratch, they just gave us back our deposit and we could leave.

Cons: It was very long to pick up the car and get a representative to talk to when we arrived, althought maybe it was because of picky clients, we just don't know, however we were satisfied of the service in the end.

Pros: Fast and efficient. It turns out that it was beneficial that Sadorent is not at the airport terminal. The other major car rental agencies (Hertz, Avis, etc) all had long lines. We were picked up by Sadorent agent, brought to their garage, quickly processed paperwork, and we were out the door. No lines. We did wait for 15 minutes for the agent to pick us. But in the end, that was a plus over waiting in long lines at the airport.

Cons: Sadorent doesn't have a booth at the Lisbon airport. We had to wait 15 minutes for the agent to arrive for pick up. I guess we just missed the cycle of when agents were at the meeting location.

Pros: Easy enough to use, had to wait around the airport for quiet some time to be collected. Coming from a foreign country ours phones didn’t work, which in turn had to buy SIM cards in order to call for collection

Cons: They advised the deposit was cancelled and no funds taken However still awaiting funds to hit my account as they advised it would take 24 hours to be returned

Pros: Prompt, friendly, efficient service

Pros: Car was in excellent condition. Professional, personable staff.

Pros: Car was clean and functioned well

Cons: I booked a BMW series 4 car but was given a Volvo V60. Secondly. both for pickup and drop, I had to wait at a meeting point in the airport, call the Sadorent car rental company and then taken by them to a location 15 kms away from the airport to get the car and drop it off. I could have missed my flight due to this delay. Even though, I delivered the car back on time, they first charged and then refunded Euro 30 for delayed return

Pros: Agent was pleasant & helpful. Car was new and worked perfectly.

Cons: No negatives.

Pros: Efficient and good value for money

Cons: The car I requested was not available

Pros: Highly professional staff at the office. Took their jobs very seriously and ensured that everything was looked after.

Pros: Friendly and willing to work towards an agreement.

Cons: Disregard for proper communication in lieu of fast service.

Pros: Martins and others were exceptionally friendly and efficient.

Pros: Friendliness, good vehicles, good support service

Cons: GPS was outdated

Pros: Customer focusfd

Cons: Rushed

Pros: I liked Sadorent immensely.

Cons: We will never again use your services. We waited one and a half hours at the airport ti be picked up after svereal phone calls to the agent who always said hed be there in 10 min. After an overall of 2 and half hours we finally gor our car. Bad communication w/ Rental Car provider and unfriendly and incompetent customer service.
