Customer Ratings and Latest Reviews
Because we want to make sure each review listed here is left by a real customer, we don’t have an option to post a review here. Instead, we ask each and every customer to leave a review after they return their rental car. This way, you know that all reviews are authentic, verified, and trustworthy.
Pros: The car
Cons: The rudeness of staff who were over interested in selling insurance and delayed us significantly at the beginning of the holiday

Pros: the service
Cons: the spot of return car
Pros: The car had passed its service due date by 6 months and also ran out of Ad blue which we were supposed to add.
Cons: We were given a certain price online and it was doubled face to face. We were told that insurance and car are separate.. this should not be done, especially since we were told we aren’t allowed to change our car to a cheaper one. Unless we paid a fine.
Pros: Price
Cons: long waiting on pick up
Cons: Even though I pre-paid for GPS, they did not have any, blamed it on Discover Cars. Was billed a week after I turned in the car for extra money with no explanation.

Pros: car was what i requested
Cons: delay on picking up the car (almost 1 hour!)
Pros: Friendly, efficient, knowledgeable and helpful staff
Cons: I liked everything.
Pros: Friendly staff
Cons: Time spent picking up the car was terrible - more than 1.5 hours in line and then another 15-20 minutes waiting for the vehicle itself. The condition of the van I rented was not good, either - the rear door was dented and damaged, and tires were worn. Loose oil pan.
Pros: Agents and everyone assisting with the pick up and drop off were very helpful. Would be happy to book with them again.
Pros: I was given a new car
Pros: Price before extra insurance.
Cons: Long wait to get to rental office from airport. Even longer wait to get the car and misleading useless insurance sold by you.
Pros: Car didn't have windshield washer fluid, so windshield became somewhat bug smeared.
Pros: Excellent, l’auto réservé était tel que spècifié. Aucune surprise désagréable.
Pros: Good service, slow pick up, you should consider a terminal pick up service if people want to pay for it
Cons: Slow pick up, I’m a returning customer- maybe 10 rentals, every time the pick up is too slow - normally because they spend ages calculating insurance that I never buy…
Pros: Friendly and helpful representative
Pros: Good quik service, nice car, well maintained
Pros: Good customer relations.
Pros: Quick and efficient.
Cons: No dislikes.
Pros: friendly helpful agents
Cons: location for drop off is difficult to find
Pros: even when they are busy , they try to get you through the process as quickly as possible they also put a hold on your credit card for the insurance deposit , not a charge so you don't incure extra bank charges
Cons: rental rates climbed quite high over Easter break
Pros: Friendly, good problem solvers, helpful
Cons: Unclear on where to meet the shuttle - there are two vodophone kiosks.
Pros: Very friendly service
Cons: I received a call for being overdue while I prolonged a few days earlier.
Pros: Car tires and other issues
Cons: very slow service
Pros: Goede service
Cons: Geen opmerkingen
Pros: They were efficient and helpful
Cons: The transponder for the toll highways wasn't working
Pros: How smoothly everything went, the excellent customer service and the ease of finding the shuttle.
Cons: Liked everything but would recommend that when renting a transponder to customers not from Portugal, let them know which lane to take when going through the toll booths.
Pros: Everyone was very friendly and helpful
Cons: We had to wait in line for a long time, first for the shuttle and then to get the car.
Pros: They were very professional, explained my questions thoroughly and worked to get me promptly on my way.
Pros: Difícil lembrar de algo positivo
Cons: Seguro do carro (mais que o dobro da locação); somente 01 carro para transfer, tempo de espera e falta de organização, pois tinha várias pessoas aguardando o transfer
Pros: They are really good and friendly
Pros: Vehicle was ready to go - good car, good value, great gas mileage (Audi A3) -
Cons: Agent was way to quick going over the car for dents etc - spent no time on interior workings - received car with a 1/4 tank of gas and no windshield washing fluid - hard sell on extra insurance
Pros: Pickup and drop off were relatively quick and efficient.
Cons: As noted, being better briefed on the different types of toll gates would be helpful. For instance, providing a picture of each and how to approach each would be helpful.
Pros: Very nice car at very low rate. Unlike what I read in some reviews, I had no issues at all when I returned the car. The person who noted scratches on check out was thorough and wrote down all the existing scratches before I found them. They didn't try to say I damaged the car when I returned it (I didn't). They did look closely, though, so if you scratch or dent the car, you will need to pay (unless you purchass their expensive insurance). They included a second drive at no charge on my rental.
Cons: Their insurance is very expensive. I declined both Drive on Holiday's insurance and discovercars' insurance because I had good coverage from my credit card, but it was scary. If you don't buy their insurance (even if you do buy insurance from discovercars), you will need to leave a large deposit on your credit card, but that is fully explained by their rental terms. (The deposit was completely refunded without a problem.)
Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing
Pros: not much
Cons: dreadful location, really strict rules about what credit cards can be used for deposits. my own fault partly for not reading the small print but in this day and age it's a joke. then when we returned the car with a little bit of sand in the back seat (4 yr old beach loving daughter) they charged us extra cleaning fee. cowboys, will never use again.
Pros: Shuttle to and from airport by shuttle to car rental was quite easy. The are was exactly what we had booked and worked well.
Cons: We weren't aware we booked 3rd party insurance at the time of booking. Your website should be much clearer on this issue.
Pros: friendly andfast
Pros: Very friendly people who helped us get the car on the road quickly.
Cons: It was hard to find the rental location when we returned the car. Perhaps you can provide advice when people pick up their cars?
Pros: Excellent car.
Cons: Charging for toll payment system. Avis is being sued in the US for charging this same service fee.
Pros: Staff were friendly
Pros: Allowed me to keep the same car for a second rental period
Cons: Wasn't able to do it over the phone, had to return to Lisbon to do it.
Pros: Very friendly people and fast to get the car
Pros: The exterior of the car was a wreck. The sheet displaying damage was completely covered in but this was the net because the agent hadn’t marked any damage until I pointed it out and then he began. He told me I was ready to be on my way, meanwhile the car was parked in such a way that no one could get the car out without moving the car in front. It took forever to get the car and when returning it they charged us to be taken to the airport but when we asked at pickup, no one mentioned it
Pros: I liked the costumer service that was provided, at the desk .
Cons: I wasn’t very happy at the beginning for the car that i had, I was expecting another car , the tank wasn’t completely full as expected also the car had a few marks on the back side . I was a little bit upset
Pros: Friendly and fast.
Pros: The cars are in good condition.
Cons: The hotline for calling assistance only have Portuguese, do not English. Difficult to communicate. Staffs are not helpful if you do not buy insurance from their company.
Pros: Very competitive prices and good condition of the vehicle.
Cons: The time spent to drop the car. Not enough representatives to serve all customers.
Pros: I like the price and the car
Cons: When we went to pick up the car, I didn't like the attendant's service. she didn't want to let us take the car, since we had all the correct documentation. she asked us to wait for the manager, we asked how long, she said it could be an hour or six hours. the manager took 1 hour to arrive and resolved the situation in 2 minutes.
Pros: Efficiency and friendly personnel
Cons: No issues with service
Cons: Unfortunately reserved and confirmed and paid for GPS, but when car handed over they had no GPS available. An employee provided his personal older model GPS for us to use, but not compatible. This ended up costing us a lot more money to use our phone google maps and roaming and data charges.
Pros: The best rental in Portugal so far, human touch, lots of smiles, great consideration for the customer and prompt service. 10/10.
Cons: The first car had a very lose transmission and a tire sensor problem, once we were give a Ford Fiesta, almost brand-new, everything was perfect. Thanks for the great support.
Pros: Good car, lower rate than competitors and good transport shuttle from/to the airport.
Cons: The pressure to buy extra insurance despite the fact I already purchased full coverage by booking the car! No clear answer when the deposit of 2400 Euro will be unblocked, when the car is returned in the unchanged conditions. The car was shaky at about 100 km speed, what I passed to the staff checking the car after dropping it in.
Pros: Drop off was surprisingly smooth
Cons: Upsell on insurance, basically cost 5x for the rental as a result but luckily it was pretty inexpensive to begin with but annoying I got sucked I to vandalism insurance that wouldn't have done much
Pros: Outstanding service and personnel! Recommendation to take toll transponder was very helpful
Cons: Was not clear if vehicle was Petrol or diesel
Pros: Manager and staff exceptional
Pros: Rapidez ,bons carros, ótimo atendimento
Pros: Pick up if the car was not the easiest. Your rep must be more visible and should be at the arrivals exit door. Took me more than ¾ hour to locate him
Cons: As mentioned above
Pros: Very efficient, polite, reliable
Cons: Nothing.
Pros: I had a little problem and the drive on holidays team helped to sorted out. Amazing team :)
Pros: nothing
Cons: Not getting support
Pros: Fast and efficient rental. First rental company that was immediately able to settle up the toll charge on return.
Cons: The early car return fee was a little steep, but it was also my bad for not realizing that the opening hours were limited. The car was the most basic model (which is fine we ordered a small car).
Pros: The car was fabulous and the customer service extremely nice.
Cons: Non-proficiency in checking in and receiving the rental cars. Too long of wait, it took 30-45 minutes to check each person per rental.
Pros: Quick and easy service
Cons: Nothing
Pros: The staff and efficiency. A pleasant and professional service that was quick and effortless
Cons: Screen settings could be reset or with instructions how to get into different languages.
Pros: Very easy to pick up and quick drop off. The car was good and clean. We do recommend
Pros: Efficiency
Cons: 1,500 euro deposit
Pros: Nothing.
Cons: Tried to push insurance. Did not appropriately explain the arrangements for inaurance. I had to make a big fuss about insurance for them to explain insurance arrangements. Still wanted me to purchase insurance even though I explained I would be double paying insurance. Did not take resposibility for the partnership with Discovery Cars and said they "were sorry" I paid insurance with "a broker" and they feel for costumers that fall into this "trap". Arrogant staff.
Cons: As escovas do carro alugado estão em mau estado, sendo por isso perigoso quando se conduz com chuva. Algo que aconteceu durante a semana onde aluguei o carro.

Pros: I was forced to rent the car with another company
Cons: The staff did not facilitate the car rental at any time.
Pros: We had to wait a bit to pick up the car at the desk. The staff that helped us picking up the car was excellent. He went over all the details of the car and answered all our questions.
Pros: They were nice though
Cons: That we had to pay extra to take the car in. A company should be there either 24/7 or early hours I dropped the car at 7 am and had to pay extra. Not good business Fights start at Walt hours and if you have to be there 3 hrs early why do we have to pay extra
Pros: Friendly but professional. Responsive to queries.
Pros: They did try hard to find a car with automatic and GPS.
Cons: Disappointed about the need to upgrade and purchase new rental insurance coverage.
Pros: No need to refuel the car before drop off.

Pros: Only issue where all the minor damages….wasting a lot of time on your side and my side
Cons: representative at pickup was saying that the insurance buy with discovercars was not good and pushing hard to buy their assurance.
Cons: Price was higher than quoted, by a lot.
Pros: Didn’t rip me off
Cons: Everything was good
Cons: The car was all dented,scratches ,bold tires. Not pleased.
Pros: Overall, service was good.
Cons: The vehicle assigned to us did not have a working GPS. It was programmed for France although we were in Portugal. The maps would not update to current location. No one at the rental office could fix it. It forced us to spend over 100 euros on roaming charges from our own country so that we could access Google Maps on our own mobile phone.
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Quality of car. Its was scratchy all over and the seats were coming out while applying brakes. Screen was pooping reduce oil levels again and again. It was 8 seater and didnt have rear camera. So difficult to reverse it without assistance.
Pros: Friendly people.
Cons: Processes are archaic. Took over 1 hour to collect the car. Took another 30 mins to return the car. Won't use Drive On Holidays again at any price.
Pros: Serviced dead battery enroute
Cons: Confusing Pickup. NO one meeting me at pickup point
Pros: Quick and easy rental and ease of drop off. Friendly staff. Shuttle to and from the airport.
Cons: I purchased full insurance and still needed a credit on my credit card for damages. It looked like originally it was 2600 but they requested either a 450 or 350 approximate credit before I could get the car.
Pros: Tudo foi prático.. desde a retirada até a devolução do carro.
Pros: Prompt, friendly and efficient.
Cons: Nothing
Pros: Time spent at the dropping off.
Cons: They insisted on the payment of a extra charge to be fully insurance covered. When I made the reservation that was already my option but they said that the price I have paied was too low and did not included the choice I had made. So I had to spend a extra amount of 200 euros to be fully covered. Discovered Cars had alerted about it but I didn´t wanted to take the risk, so hed to pay the price that they offered.
Pros: The service was great
Cons: The car condition was poor
Pros: The process was pretty smooth from airport pick up by the shuttle to return to airport by the shuttle. The pricing was reasonable. The availability of the Via Verde sensor was seamless.
Cons: They scrutinized every tiny scratch, ding and smudge on the car and tried to indicate it all on the little cartoon diagram on the rental paperwork. The car I rented had many scratches, smudges and dings so it was impossible to capture on the paperwork. Unfortunately, I didn't think to take a video of the car before accepting it. Upon returning, they tried to claim that a small (.5mm X 10mm) smudge was not indicated on the paperwork. I was concerned they were trying to scam me.
Pros: All was fine.
Cons: Nothing
Pros: Friendly staff.
Cons: Pic up at Aeroport.
Pros: overall very good service
Cons: easy & simple
Pros: The agent at pickup I think his name was Tiago) was extremely courteous, professional and knowledgeable. I enjoyed my interaction with him.
Cons: There was was nothing that sticks in my mind. I will say that, while the car was very serviceable and served us well, it is reaching the end of its career service to the your company.
Cons: The windshield was dirty and the wipers were old and did not clean it well.
Pros: Transparency and friendly explanations.
Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Everything.
Cons: Nothing.
Pros: The agent attention was very good

Pros: Overall a great experience
Pros: Fast and friendly - great value for the time we rented.
Pros: The staff were all very nice and friendly and helpful.
Cons: They were off-site, not at the airport. Made me nervous that I wouldn't find where to take the car back. But I did, with the help of Google maps!
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Very slow.
Pros: Agents knowledgeable and friendly
Cons: To wait 3 hours is too much.
Cons: The car provided was in a bad shape and scratched all over and the back doors were after a small acciddent, not fixed yet. In the end we actually liked that the car was in a bad shape so we did not have to take a special care about it. It served the purpose.
Pros: Staff was knowledgeable, helpful and friendly.
Cons: Picking up the car , I was in a line for over an hour in a small room full of people. This was very stressful and hot especially during Covid. NOT THE STAFFS FAULT just staffing.
Pros: The car drove well enough.
Cons: When I arrived at DriveOnHoliday, there were only 3 people in front of me in the queue. It took 90 minutes to collect the car. This was not because of the paper work, but because none of the cars were ready to be collected. I purchased additional insurance from DiscoverCars which the rental company told me wasn't valid and I needed to purchase theirs. After 90 minutes, I was led outside to collect the car outside and waited a further 30 minutes. This was not good.
Pros: The wiper of the car wasn't working very well.
Pros: Car came as advertised. Great condition, clean and new.
Cons: The facility is a significant distance to the airport and the pickup and drop off at LIS is not very efficient. At the rental desk, it took a lot of time to process the rental and get going. Only one/two agents at the desks with several employees seemingly standing around in the facility.
Pros: Shuttle to pick up and drop off
Cons: Person who helped us at pick up was new and did not understand English or the system charges. After 7 hour flight just took what we could understand. During our trip the car’s key battery stopped working. Called and said they could come out or we could replace it ourselves. Given a number to get reimbursed but had nothing to write with on the side of the road. They would not reimburse without the number so we paid. The gps system not great would not accept addresses that we wanted to visit.
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Everything
Pros: Simple.
Cons: Selling tactics for insurance upgrades and overall condition of car/tires.
Pros: The price sounded good but it turned out NOT SO GOOD.
Cons: Unlike major rental companies, this one will not give you credit for returning the car earlier. Also, the return hours are very limited. THE CAR HAD A SERVICE ENCINE WARNING LIGHT ON SINCE I GOT IT. WHEN I POINTED IT OUT ON PICK UP THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL AN WOULD NOT CHANGE CARS.
Cons: Constant upsell, excessive wait time to get a car, GPS in the car could not find street addresses.
Pros: The overall service was very good the only issue was picking up the car took a long time but a bunch of flights arrived at the same time so it was understandable.
Cons: The think that bothered me a little was the van was all scratched up and non of the USB ports worked which was a little bit of a hassle to keep the phone charged.
Pros: Vary nice and helpful stuff
Cons: Nothing
Pros: Price was cheap, but the additional insurance was on the expensive side.
Cons: Staff friendly and helpful.
Pros: Friendly agents, that spoke English well. Swift and quick pick up and drop off.
Cons: They really kept insisting that I take out their cover, even though I showed them I had full cover. They tried to say that my credit card wasn't being accepted for the deposit. I asked them to insert it and it worked. They told me that if I came back with even 1 scratch they would keep my whole deposit and then the car they gave me was full of scratches and dents. I took a video of the car to protect myself.
Pros: They had a person waiting to check out our car when we arrived at 7:30am and a shuttle waiting to take us to the airport. The process very quick and easy and we left immediately for the airport. The check in was not as fast but it wasn't too bad. The staff were friendly and helpful. The car itself was a mixed bag. I was extremely happy to have a compact car as we ended up in some tight places, however, the check engine light turned on shortly after pick up. All in all I'd use them again.
Cons: The check engine light turned on shortly after pick up and it smelled like oil was spilled on the engine block when they were topping off fluids for the first few days.
Pros: Very good service, nice car
Cons: When the car was returned, there was not enough shuttle for the return to the airport. I had to take a taxi.
Pros: Nice People
Cons: Return Location challenging to find technically address is not in Lisbon so GPS will take you to wrong location
Pros: the drop off was easy
Cons: The pickup felt like a bait-and-switch where I paid over 100 euros extra. The car was significantly dinged up.
Pros: Nothing at all - I was unable to collect my car and would like a full refund including my deposit.
Cons: I was unable to use my credit card to pay my deposit, meaning I was stranded in Portugal without a car.
Pros: Spoke wonderful English
Cons: Hard hard hard sell on insurance

Cons: Everything was ok.
Pros: Car was new but did not took time to explain the way it was working.

Pros: Nothing
Cons: Everything - horrible customer service and junk cars that break down and aren’t maintained - borderline criminals
Pros: Although we arrived 6 hour earlier due to flight change they were able to find similar car for us without any waiting ( T-roc for Audi Q2, same engine)
Pros: It was cheep compared to others.
Cons: Not much, it was a bit slow to come from airport to the pickup place.
Pros: The car was good but the staff were super helpful. My wife broke her leg while in Lisbon and when we were turning the car in, the staff were super helpful and patient and friendly.
Cons: When I booked online I thought the company was discover car. So when at the airport I did not immediately know to look for the drive on holiday person and subsequently walked around a lot looking for the wrong thing. When I asked, I was given prompt help but if the web site was more specific it would have helped.
Pros: Very nice people, car was very clean,they explain everything, they took us from the airport on time and took us to the airport on time...everything was perfect.
Pros: Absolutely nothing...horrible experience. Will not suggest this company so much service was bad and will definately give a negative review online.
Cons: The sales rep tells me the wrong fuel to out in the car. Road assistance never called me back up to today. Had to pay for diesel on first car...was never reimbursed. Horrible experience.
Pros: They provided early drop off of the vehicle because we had an early flight but charged us an additional $30 and made us wait 15 minutes, while agent sat in his car, because we arrived before our scheduled time.

Cons: n/a
Pros: Really helpful staff
Cons: Rep at airport could be easier to find
Pros: Ease of renting along with the shuttle provided to and from the airport to the rental agency.

Excellent AirCon, with practical Automatic setting. Enough room for 2 large cases with the back seat down. Wait time at return Zero, DriveOnHolidays had all details at hand, although returning 1 hour before arranged. Friendly service both at pickup and return.
Cons: Fuel policy, although we did not "suffer". I prefer full / full. Did not like the sun beaten flapping logo on the car boot, not good for the company either. So removed this and put inside car document folder. I don't want to advertise, especially with a damaged logo. Very expensive, compared to 3 years ago. But that's Covid for you.
Cons: I thought the credit block was a bit too steep.
Pros: Efficiency and politness
Pros: Value for money was unbeatable. All other companies charged a lot more for a similar vehicle.
Cons: Disappointed, I had to pay $40 extra bucks because I drop off my car by 7:00am instead of 8:30am. Several employees were working at the time but they couldn’t accept the drop off if I didn’t pay $40. Ridiculous, my flight leave by 8:30am so I had to be at the airport by 7:00am, I had not option.

Pros: The salesperson was caring and was doing his best despite the lste hour.
Cons: Condition of car
Pros: Agents are polite and know how to service.
Cons: It was too busy and I had to wait a lot in the line. I ordered the car for 10:00 and got it around 12:00. The desk agent didn't explained all the conditions, which surprised us at the early return. Also, I got the new guy to deliver the car, he wasn't experienced and made some mistakes that took time to fix at the return. Total price was a bit higher than expected.
Pros: pick up is away from airport and easier to drive out of
Cons: aggressive salesperson at front desk
Cons: Car had a nuisance tire warning and a change oil info

Pros: Excellent price for a week’s rental, helpful staff, new clean car at great condition, easy to find at airport.
Cons: There was some queue when picking up the car though they were very fast when we returned it.

Pros: The agent were great and process of getting the car
Cons: I would have preferred a better and larger car.
Pros: Very flexible, willing to wait more than 3 hours for our late flight to hand over the car.
Cons: The service was perfect. The car (a Peugeot) required special attention, - the switching quality of the transmission is below average.

Pros: Due to the unaccetable day in picking the car my feeling is total NEGATIVE
Cons: The total lack of interest for our waiting for a unavailable car
Cons: Hard to find the Office when returning the car.
Cons: We had a bad eperience when picking up the car. It took 2 1/2 hours from check in till we finally drove away.
Cons: Drive Holiday pickup locations is poorly run. We waiting in line for over 50 minutes only to be given no solution to our problem. Complete crooks. We ended up renting a car around the corner and the rep there gave us a solution that Drive on Holidays could have presented to us, but did not. This rental was the most frustrating part of my entire 12 day trip in Portugal. Do not recommend.
Pros: Car was in an accident and was damaged
Pros: Once you manage to get the car it was good
Cons: Collected car after hours, this was arranged as I paid extra for that service, however, nobody was at the meeting point stated in the voucher, waited and waited, tried to contact the agents but it was going into an answeringing machine asking us t leave hour number to be called back but were never called back. We were not the ony one and eventually DoH attended saying they are only in 2 and have also to do the bookings. They offered the petrol, hence I consider this closed.
Pros: One of the worst car renting experiences I’ve had.
Cons: Car was NOT what I asked for and then was told “the rental says ‘or similar’ and this is the similar model”. I’m sorry, but when you think you’re getting an Audi Q2 with amenities and are given a beat up VW T-Roc with almost no features and a filthy interior, it cannot be considered “similar” just because they’re both diesel crossovers. Waited 45 minutes at the airport to be taken to get my car (the attendant forgot about us at least once) and then another hour at the location. Worst exp.
Pros: Kind & courteous. They know what they are doing = LESS TIME WAITING
Cons: There's nothing not to like
Pros: Was all .nice Had good time Nice courtesy and respectful people
Cons: I rent already another one.
Pros: Fast, efficient and friendly.
Cons: No water in car windscreen washers, and a bottle of drinking water would be a nice touch.
Pros: Pick up at airport and taken directly to car hire company- picked up car straight away
Cons: N/A
Pros: Nice people
Cons: Nothing
Pros: Duper friendly customer service
Cons: `That the pickup of the car was not directly at the airport
Pros: Delayed a lot in picking up from Lisbon airport. Took 2 hours to complete procedure and handover the car.
Cons: Delays during the car handover process. Delay during the airport pickup from Lisbon airport.
Pros: It was efficient from pick up onwards, Really excellent service
Cons: To book the car online was a nightmare. I tried to cancel it as I wasn't getting conformation. Its such a pity because the rest was so awesome!
Cons: The car conditionals are not very good. I describe them some problems when I drop the car
Pros: Fast pickup service from airport
Cons: All good
Cons: Rep was not at meeting point but outside of yerminal. We spent 30 mins looking. We booked a car with airco (car we got was without) and automatic transmission (car we got was hybryd, it was rolling back every time we stopped on a hill and i had to use handbreak, which was very painful for my joints as I have arthritis), we got wrong advice about tolls resulting in possible fines, very poor customer service on the phone and via email (they stopped responding).Car steeringwheel was sticky from dir
Pros: Staff were friendly, fast & efficient. Pricing was competitive. We had the option for the automatic toll widget. Free second driver. Easy to call in to get things sorted eg adding coverage to drive to Spain.
Cons: The car was quite "beaten up" - lots of scratches and "dings". But inside was good and it drove well, so that off-set our initial concerns.
Pros: Friendly and courteous service.
Cons: Price gouge for extra 2 days.
Pros: Drop off was fast and easy
Cons: The delays at pick up. The condition of the vehicle. (Damaged on most panels, inside was clean and tidy). Next to no fuel in it.
Cons: bad customer service,
Pros: Very good service etc the pick and the desk, only problem was the service to the aeroport bus, only one running, the driver was fantastic not to blame.
Pros: rerecommended the gadget for h\Portuguese highways, seemed a hard sale at first but was an essential
Cons: a bit slow on p/up
Pros: I liked nothing.
Cons: Our first car broke down and we lost a day going to get a replacement car. The next car we got also broke down and we wasted another day trying to get back to the car rental. No customer service to reimburse us or take blame for the mechanical issues. Honestly the worst service ever.
Pros: Fast and easy
Cons: No comments
Pros: Simpatia foi rápido o processo
Pros: Service and the personal.
Cons: Car with high milage without conditions to Travel safely. Its the first time with this company normally they give me a good cars!
Pros: has the car three weeks - no trouble at all.
Cons: Off airport pick up and drop off with relatively late opening hours for dropping off car. International flights are often VERY Early in the morning. Took later flight Because of car rental - that opens just after 8 a.m. - then the airport shuttle did not leave until nearly 8:45 a.m. because other renters were disputing charges. If better drop off hours OR located at or within walking distance of airport, rating would be close to a 10.
Pros: Explained things well
Cons: A bit too long a wait., and a bit hard to find.
Pros: The drop off experience and pickup from the airport was easy and as expected. The vehicle worked well and had no known mechanical issues.
Cons: I did not like being told that i should buy vandalism insurance in a place where the vehicle should have been perfectly safe. I dont feel safe in a country where the first experience is that the car could be damaged by others and I would be responsible for it.
Pros: Easy but busy place
Cons: The car was dented on every panel so I didn't really have to worry about any more damage lol
Pros: Easy once I got the car
Cons: The waiting
Pros: Drop-off was quick and easy. They didn't mark down the pre-existing damage which I missed on checkout, thankfully. Tyres, windscreen washer and all the obvious daily maintenance jobs were in good condition (but the longer-term maintenance not as good)
Cons: Pressured and misdirected while checking car for pre-existing damage, so that I missed an expensive looking window chip. I was convinced this was a deliberate scam and worried throughout the rental. In the end, though, somebody different checked it in and the damage was missed on check-in as well. I would advise, though, take you time and check absolutely every inch of the car on checkout, don't be misdirected to miss any parts, or hurried into not being thorough. Also, gearbox was not 100% :/
Pros: Flexible staff, nice people
Pros: The car
Cons: The pick up location, the drop off open houers. Our plane left at 8 am and had to payextra to drop the car off.
Pros: Return of the car was really fast and without problem. I was late for 20 minutes and little bit less fuel.. no problem at all.
Cons: Picking car was for 1,5 hour. 25 minutes waiting for shuttle, then waiting for free worker 30 minutes, filling papers 15 minutes and then waiting 20 minutes for a car. They didn't know how to open car hood :(. The tire pressure was not adjusted, the warning light was on and no one cares. The fuel tank was not full, it is very difficult to return the car with the same level.
Pros: Very quick, had to wait 5 minutes on the airport, then a small 7 minute trip. There we were gone with a car within 15 minutes.
Cons: The door had a little dent and didn't close all the way. Somewhat annoying on the freeway
Pros: Pickup/Drop-off procedure
Cons: DriveOnHolidays rented us very basic van for a lot of money: -NO extras (NO Cruise control, no AAC, no XSENON/ELD lights, no alloy wheels, .......) -Brakes and tyres in terrible condition! -Not clean - dust inside windscreen -Questionable disinfection to limit Coronavirus spread (?) -After return, they charged us additional 50€ for cleaning sand
Pros: Terrible they give me a broken car I never rent from them again
Pros: Transport to the airport
Cons: Slow. Unefficient.
Pros: Only the dropoff was easy
Cons: Everything else: time spent on pick-up, car maintenance (I had to buy 1L of oil to top up and even then it wasn't enough), the inside was a bit dirty
Cons: The car was in very poor condition. The brakes were squeaking and the alignment was off. When I called drive on holidays to raise my concerns I was put on hold and no one ever returned to answer my call. Very poor customer service.
Pros: Waited over an hour to get car
Pros: Helpful customer service agents
Cons: Car Pickup & Drop-off location is not in the airport terminal as stated on Discover Cars website. The location is a 10 minute shuttle ride away from the airport.
Pros: Courteous
Cons: 2.5 hours for pick up is unacceptable
Pros: The agents were friendly, fast and efficient.
Cons: There were a lot of people waiting to pick up cars when I went to pick mine up so the wait was very long (almost 1 hour). I think there should have been more agents working.
Pros: Type, and status of the car was excellent.
Cons: A lot of additional costs. These were unforeseen.
Pros: Employees were courteous and respectful.
Pros: Nothing....
Cons: To much time... No solution to solve the problem...
Pros: They where fair and easy to deal with.
Pros: Staff was excellent, professional, no pressure. Vehicle was excellent. Fair pricing. Definitely get the Via Verde toll payment transponder if you are driving beyond Lisbon, you dont want to stop and fish for coins at every toll ( and there are a fair amount of them ). 2 weeks in the Alentejo and Algarve and tolls were only $20.
Cons: Nothing
Pros: They changed us to a larger car to handle luggage for 4 persons
Cons: Nothing really
Pros: Very friendly and professional on the paperworks
Cons: It took too long to be attended and the car has a lot of damage on the out side, missing or broken inside parts a little mechanic issues like a parking sensor always sounding-on
Pros: It offered Lower rates than competitors. Staff was courteous and professional.
Cons: the fuel tank was on "empty" when it was delivered to me and the car rental return site is difficult to find without GPS.
Pros: Best price
Cons: You are not answering my emails
Pros: The car was new
Cons: the car came with an empty gas tank and after spending 16 hours in travel i didn't need the work of having to go to a gas station or run the risk of the car stopping i also didn't like the fact that the lady from the shuttle meeting us at the airport asked for 35 euros to take us to the rental car earlier than we had booked. we had to sit there for 45 min waiting for her to come back even though she had just picked someone else up and could have easily taken us back.
Pros: Nothing
Cons: It was the worst experience I have ever recieved, if which I would like to make a formal complaint. They didn’t give me my deposit back because of a mechanical fault with the car and was made to wait in which I almost missed my flight. It was investigated and they came to the conclusion that it wasn’t my fault but now their systems are unable to release the deposit if 1300 euros and my bank are unable to help me and no one is taking responsibility for this large amount of money coming back to me
Pros: Correu tudo bem.
Cons: Não terem disponível a viatura que pretendia.
Cons: Very poor service, I had to wait 2 hours and 5 minutes to get a car.
Pros: Little time wasted picking up and dropping off our two vehicles.
Cons: We were expecting 2 VW Polos but we’re given 2 Nissan Micras, not really a big deal.
Pros: Efficiency.
Cons: The car bodywork was very damaged, to an extent I don't think it should be available for rental before getting fixed. I also didn't particularly enjoy the service provided by the first representative at the counter - not very welcoming and as usual, made me feel bad for not buying their insurance.
Pros: it was a very poor experience
Cons: Length of time to collect the car, pressurised to buy insurance, despite requesting a baby seat for my 18 month old i was told there were none available. Miraculously one became available when we spoke to the manager and we had seen multiple in the minibus that transferred us from the airport. It was also not made clear what condition the car needed to be brought back in and therefore I needed to go to a local petrol station to hoover it.
Cons: Smelly car, second one wasn’t washed, terrible hygiene conditions
Pros: Everything was a smooth process, the representative explained in detail everything. No problem at all.
Pros: Speed of pick up and drop off
Cons: Wait to be taken back to terminal after drop off
Pros: One of the road lights didn't work and they didn't have a solution for us because it was at night time. They didn't even gave us a discount.
Cons: - Intentionally lied to us with regards to full cover. We knew we had it though Discover cars, we knew it covers all, but they repeatedly lied to us that it does not cover the standard scratches, windows damage etc. we were forced to take it. - they charged us for second driver despite we clearly had it free through drive on holidays, and depite we told them we have it for free (what is the point of booking though discover cars then???) - they lied to us about toll deviced necessity
Pros: Staff were great
Pros: the workers were wonderful. the car was great. drop off was so easy.
Cons: it took a very very very long time to pick up the car. we waited in line for over and hour and then they wouldn't let me use the card that the reservation was booked under.
Pros: Free second driver
Cons: The tank was half full and i was expected to return the tank the same way. Tax to go to spain, tax to use the tool service, hiden taxes in everything.
Pros: Representatives were helpful and pleasant.
Cons: Convenient
Pros: It was Quick and easy
Cons: Pick up the car away from the terminal
Pros: The service was perfect
Cons: It was not clear at first that we could pay an extra 75.- so we don't need to deposit 880.- but it was alright.
Pros: Very nice people, explained everything in detail.
Cons: It took about 45 minutes to pick up the car. A lot of people waiting for cars, but not enough agents to process in a fast manner.
Cons: Não passaram factura no acto de entrega do carro...
Pros: Vriendelijke service en alles verliep.vlot
Pros: Already stated above
Pros: I loved getting the Fiat 500. So many times when I rent a car and its "Fiat 500 or similar" I always get the "or similar", and it's never as nice. I was glad to get a nice car for once. The agent was aware that my credit card covered insurance and did not hassle my about buying insurance (which many other companies do). He did recommend vandalism insurance, which I appreciate because I have had a rental car broken into. I appreciate the peace of mind knowing that everything is covered.
Cons: Having said that, it is a bit annoying when there are multiple different insurances and some things are not covered under the normal insurance. For my own car there is just one insurance and everything is covered, and I wish it was like this for rental cars rather than getting nickel and dimed. Also, I feel that the cost of "activating" the toll transponder was a bit excessive. Drop-off was super fast and efficient, put pickup was a bit slow given there were many people coming from the airport.
Pros: The car was clean
Cons: This guys are scamlers !! They debit me for much more money that was promised !! Nevee more, 0 of 10 !!!
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Everything!
Cons: Didn't need the automated toll booth device.
Pros: No comment
Cons: No comment
Pros: Administration was FAST
Cons: Please inform when arriving at airport where to look for shuttel and how we can recognize the shuttel, this was unclear. Specially when arriving late, this can be very convenient. Dropping off was great.
Pros: Ease of dropping the car off.
Cons: It was nearly impossible to find the rep, we had to pay for a taxi to the rental centre from airport or wait 2 hours. The girl on the desk was rude and insisted I pay 75 euros for extra insurance even though I paid for the excess waiver. Will not use again
Pros: From far the best rental company I rented from. Seamless process, not picky when returning the car, they make a good experience and we really appreciated it. It's our second rental from them, and I'd for sure recommend them around me! Congrats, keep up with the good work.
Cons: Nothing, really great service.
Pros: staff, price and car
