Toyota Camry
November 26, 2023

Pros: We were given a beautiful new car and it exceeded our expectations

Cons: Very little to dislike, not their fault but a seemingly 'dim whitted' couple ahead of us were very demanding, didn't understand the process and so asked so many questions and argued with them that it was a very long process to get our car. Again, NOT THEIR FAULT ! They were patient beyond what I would have been. I didn't really appreciate the hard sell on insurance, I already had QANTAS insurance that would pay way more than their excess but in a desperate attempt to get on the road, we did

Australia
Hyundai Kona
August 28, 2022

Pros: Clean car, went well. Pleasant enough other than the insurance issue.

Cons: I purchased insurance via discover cars only then to get pressured into buying some at the rental yard, so effectively paid twice for insurance. It wasn't good the way it was very high pressure ... on the spot, when you've just flown in with kids etc. Discover cars abound maybe not sell the insurance so it's isnt a duplicate.

Australia
Hyundai Accent
October 2, 2019

Cons: Beware of the upsell, we got charged extra to be upgraded to a Corolla even though we specifically said we didn’t want one... then he said it was complimentary and we were left wondering why our charge was more expensive than quoted. We have also had very little information regarding our security deposit being released, as we’ve had to call up twice. Pretty shady company in our experience.
