Pros: nothing

Cons: everything except the guy who was giving and taking the car back.

Belgium
Mazda CX-3
11/8/24

Pros: Nothing

Cons: The company is actually called KML and it is a scam firm making everything possible to squeeze money from clients. Rude desk agent at the airport, astronomical deposit of 2000€ required, car in bad condition, AC not working even after servicing, unsure even about the safety of the vehicle, tyres low pressure, etc. They have a scam fuel policy of half tank pre-paid, return empty. Little detail, they charge you 3 times the local fuel price for this. Avoid this rental provider.

Finland
Citro?n Jumpy
10/20/24

Pros: The drop off of the car worked flawlessly.

Cons: There was no car available for us on pickup time and we were not informed about this at all. Only after we paid and went to pick up the car we found out that there was no car available. The staff was unwilling to help us resolve the issue and things only escalated when i myself demanded where and how can i move things forward. The initial response of the staff was "just wait 1.5 hours" and they refused to cancel our reservation and refund our money.

Mazda CX-3
10/12/24

Cons: 1. I did not receive the car I have ordered. I have ordered "Intermediate Elite SUV Mazda CX-3 or similar, JFMV/IFMR" and I have received Skoda Fabia III combi, which definitely is a class or several classes lower. I have confronted the person responsible for giving the car and he said that I have ordered a car from the class "JFMV/IFMR" and Scoda Fabia combi is within the same class. I could not find anything on the Internet about that so I have relented. (more complains but there is car limit

Pros: Took not so long to get the car

Pros: Efficient service, clean cars, great prices

United Kingdom
Toyota Aygo
12/4/23

Pros: Layers, thieves, betrayeders, very bad service and attitude. Not worth dealing with them and any online car hire companies. It would be better to hire a vehicle directly from the same country people visit. I would not trust them at all they charged me over 430 euros on the top of the online charge

Cons: Layers, thieves, betrayeders, very bad service and attitude. Not worth dealing with them and any online car hire companies. It would be better to hire a vehicle directly from the same country people visit. I would not trust them at all they charged me over 430 euros on the top of the online charge

Portugal
Volkswagen Up
11/15/23

Pros: Not very clear on behalf of the rental conditions. Car was dirty inside with a lot of sand on the floor on the doors and inside of the glove box. And overall dusty.

Cons: The representative in Malta charged us an of hour fee AFTER I left the building. I was never told there was this fee and I find very unfair because the plane landed as 20h and it’s normal for me to take some time to get of the plane e collect the luggage. Therefore I shouldn’t have been charged this fee. Especially without telling me and charged it on my card without my consent! Terrible customer service.

Cons: Car was different to what we paid for and in bad condition.

United Kingdom
Mazda CX-3
10/22/23

Pros: The service at the desk was friendly. The desk is the furtherest office from arrivals which isn't far, just hard to find as it's not clearly signposted as opposed to other hire companies.

Cons: The "location fee" wasn't made clear on the booking platform. I should have also thought through the half full to empty petrol policy as its hard to go through half a tank of fuel in Malta over 4 days. The petrol was quite expensive. All these unclear costs quickly doubled the cost of the hire.

Belgium
Toyota Aygo
10/18/23

Pros: Nothing, car was bad, felt like a scam

Cons: 1 is too high of a note. Price and conditions were different than online invoice. We had to pay extra for the half tank gas and the airport tax.

Poland
Citroen C3
9/2/23

Cons: Wouldn't recommend Malta First Car Hire to anyone. The guy who did the formalities in the office was just rude. And the car itself - I've never ever rented such a dirty inside and damaged outside car in my life. Last but not least - the car I received was not the car I booked, but it was the same class.

Slovakia
Citroen C3
8/23/23

Pros: The agents services

Cons: The car was in a very bad technical condition, the front and back bumper were about to fall off, they were badly fixed probably after previous accidents. The car smelled very unpleasant and the furnishings were greasy and worn out. The breaks were very noisy and the whole car made rattling noises during driving. There were missing upper passenger handles. For the price we paid we expected much more. Speciality was a half full of tank of petrol for double price you would pay at any petrol station

Pros: The pick up point and office was about 5mins walk from interval area and on different building. straight forward not forcing me to buy any extra car rental. excess insurance as I have already bought one from U.K

7/11/23

Pros: It wasn't Malta first, it was a smaller subsidiary Company called KWL ( or something).

Cons: Rather rude lady saying I should have read their terms and conditions properly. Was forced to drop the car off at 10am with zero flexibility mea in I had to wait at the airport for 5 hours before my flight.

United Kingdom
Fiat New 500
7/9/23

Pros: I don’t like at all

Cons: The service was awful. When I had a problem of my rental car, I called to the office. The office worker treated me like all of the problems about car caused by my fault even I had insurance. The didn’t solve the problem properly. It’s absolutely humiliated and disrespect.

Israel

Cons: The car proved wAs old car, the ac didn’t work

United Kingdom
Ford Focus STW
7/4/23

Cons: The car wasn't the one that we booked and we were only offered a 20Euro refund. Three important warning lights were illuminated in the dashboard display which were reported to Malta First. They said that they knew about them already and that it was a sensor fault. Why didn't they tell us on collection. An auto engineer suggested that it would be inadvisable to drive it so it was parked up from 25th to 30th June. I have complained to Malta First without reply. Overcharged for fuel.

United Kingdom
Peugeot 108
7/1/23

Pros: Cheap hire with good quality car

Cons: Over charging for half tank of petrol

United Kingdom

Slovakia
Fiat Panda
6/18/23

Pros: Really fast service, our flight was delayed and the rental office waited for us even a little bit after their official opening hours, and we returned the car early and the agent at the car park immediately recognized us and after a fast check told us everything was fine and we were on our way.

Cons: The condition of the car was a little, well, "used", but only as much as you'd expect from a rental, and the agent was aware, so he didn't have any objections about any additional fees for cleanup or damage so it was fine.

Portugal
Toyota Aygo
6/17/23

Cons: We were charged 50€ for half fuel tank, which is worth 25€ in the island

Malta
Citroen C3
6/9/23

Pros: Those Maltese are fucking shit and fraud. After one hour fly delay the give the car to someone also and I lost 150€. Police Callan was made against them

Cons: Fuck you

United Kingdom
Citroen C3
6/9/23

Pros: Dropping off

Cons: They charge for everything. Their half tank policy is a scam. The face they dont accept certain cards. The cost for fuel they charged. All other cost they try to add.

United Kingdom
Hyundai i20
6/9/23

Pros: The car

Cons: Their half tank fuel policy, the amount they charged for the half tank. The service representative. The fact they charge for anything they can. They accept only certain cards. Cost for changing driver name.

Australia

United Kingdom
Peugeot 108
5/28/23

Pros: Nothing!

Cons: Everything!

Italy
Suzuki Alto
5/25/23

Pros: Nothing, given the the car was not the one I ordered and they stolen half of tank of a fuel cost, see below in negative remarks.

Cons: The formula of the fuel was half-to-empty, but the agent invited to pay 48€, which is 36liters by 1.3€ per litre price for gasoline in malta. The Hunday Picanto car has a 35 litre tank, so I should to pay 17x1.3=22€ which is less then a half I paid! So the company have stolen 26€ from me as I used only half of a tank of the car but paid for a full tank. Moreover among all the car the company had for the same rental cost I have chosen exactly Suzuki Alto model but was provided with a Hundai.

United Kingdom
Hyundai i10
5/24/23

Pros: Fast and efficient

Cons: Car service light was on, no washer fluid. They insisted I pay Euro 44 for half a tank of fuel - i picked it up half full and they wanted it back empty. This is not a good idea for customers and is an obvious way of taking more money. They did not offer me an option to return with the same fuel in or full to full.

Portugal
Fiat New 500
5/19/23

Pros: The car was clean and did what was suposed to. The picking up and dropping off process was easy.

Cons: The car wasn't the one we choose, being bigger than expected. We received the car showing the velocity in miles per hour, and had to loose a lot of time trying to change it to km/h. The extra charge for the half tank was way above it's true value based on the island gas prices. The fact that they charge extra for the debit car deposit.

United Kingdom
Toyota Aygo
5/15/23

Pros: Dropping off the car was efficient and the attendant there was friendly and helpful

Cons: The man we spoke with seemed pleased we'd not realised we'd need to take out additional insurance (for €18 per day) due to not having a credit card with us. The car was an automatic, which was not what we'd booked. This was presented as an obvious positive and we'd be stupid to insist on manual. We wished we had insisted the whole trip as the car's gearbox was appalling. It felt genuinely unsafe pulling out at junctions due to how sluggish it was. Overall very expensive for a very poor car.

United Kingdom
Volkswagen Up
5/15/23

Pros: I always prefer to use Malta First. They are friendly, helpful and efficient.

Cons: Nothing.

France
Citroen C3
5/13/23

Cons: The « half to empty » policy is not suitable for malta as you don’t drive that much in a small island ! So you give them back the car not empty, while they charge the half tank much more expensive than normal rates

Canada
Ford Focus STW
5/10/23

Pros: Gentleman was fine

Cons: A bit pushy

Bulgaria
Hyundai i20

Pros: Value for money

Cons: Services were very good.

Greece
Fiat New 500
4/28/23

Pros: Nothing

Cons: The guy at the rental desk was rude. As the deposit asked was too high (1350 EUR), we implored him to have it split between 2 credit cards and he refused, he even shouted at us! He also charged us for extra coverage although we had already paid the full coverage via Discover Cars. He ripped us off by charging us 48 EUR for half tank when the fuel price would normally be around 15 EUR. The car he gave us was in a bad condition. He met all our complaints/requests with cynicism and rudeness.

Netherlands
Citroen C3
4/24/23

Pros: Easy to order , not too expensive

Cons: The rental company was selected because it offered the C3, a car we hired before on Rhodos , that was a fine car, space, drove fine. We were offered a Clio. Soon it became clear this not a same type of car Smaller, difficult to step in e (the steering wheel in ihighest position, the clutch did not work smoothly , the sights in this car is bad. On top of this the company charged us unfair EU 48,50 for a half tank of fuel, (fuel price EU 1,34, we found later).

Switzerland

United Kingdom
Renault Sandero
4/17/23

Cons: the con that is being charged for a tiny scratch on the bonnet and being told we could claim it back from the insurance we were forced to take out at the begining because we were using a debit card? we were in a queue of people being charged extortionate amounts for microscopic scratches!!!!

Israel

Portugal
Nissan Micra
4/6/23

Cons: The car wasn't a Nissan Micra as I had hired. I know this happens frequently, you are buying a type of car, but I noticed no Nissan Micra's in their fleet (all for display at the car park).

Slovakia
Renault Megane Grandtour
4/4/23

Pros: The car was in great condition.

Cons: I didn't like the communication with the guy at the rental desk. He was pushing me for an insurance, although I've already got insurance from DiscoverCars. And I've later realized that the fuel policy is to my disadvantage (getting the car with half the tank and returning it empty, and paying around 50€ for the half the tank).

Romania
Volkswagen T-Cross
3/30/23

Pros: First of all the price is not correct they charge you another 100 eur , then the car you rent is never the one they give you, i wanted vw tcross and they gave me a renault captur, I wonder if they even have that car there. I wanted to give back the car and they said there is no refund. I would have never paid that amount of money for a captur. Is the worst experience ever. What s the legal term when you pay for something and you re offered something else?

Cons: Google

Czech Republic

Pros: clean car. decent condition.

Cons: the people you have working there, sales agents are scammers. they speak fast, where its hard to understand them. rush you into paying extra deposits. I agreed to the 1400 deposit but he pushed me hard saying give me 60 and if anything happens ill take 250 from you let you go. I said thats fine take the 1400 he pushed and pushed and pushed saying this is good and at end said but up to you.. he said your car WILL get hit when you park so get this..but up to you & forced gas prepay overcharged 40

Poland

South Africa
Fiat Panda
2/28/23

Pros: When I was helped it was fast and efficient

Luxembourg
Kia Rio
12/26/22

Cons: I had lot of issues when I tried to pick up my rental. Unfortunately, I had limit on my credit card (max 1.333 eur) and I needed to leave deposit of 1600 eur. Rental car provider did not have any understanding neither he had any flexibility to combine required deposit from credit card and from my other card or via cash. I spent 1 hour , as I tried to sort it out. Unfortunately, after 1 hour I gave up and I had to pay additionally 120 eur for insurance in order to pick up my car.

United Kingdom

11/27/22

Pros: Quick pick up and drop off with no queues staff available immediately in the airport office. deposit released without issues within 7 days

Cons: Car was older than expected. approx 5 yrs old. large security deposit creates a worry

United Kingdom
Fiat 500
11/15/22

Pros: The car was provided by KWL

Cons: Additional charges, especially the €48 for half a tank of fuel. Fuel in Malta is only €1.30/ ltr and I don’t think a full tank would take €48 to fill. Also the local tax of €28 was not expected. When picking up the car was told it only had 2 scratches. We took an additional 23 pictures of damages including cigarette burns to the interior fabric. All 4 hubcaps were seriously damaged. Overall car was in very poor condition.

Singapore
Ford Focus STW
11/14/22

Pros: Easy collection and return of the car

Cons: Car condition and function below expectation. Worn tyres, one of which loses air frequently.

Luxembourg
Citroen C3
11/10/22

Pros: Nothing specific, bad service in general.

Cons: They charge you 50 euros or something like that for half fuel tank, saying that is half full you can return it empty. Half tank is around 20/25 euros. Car had the engine oil sign and would smell a bit burn after driving for a while. Do not rent a car with these

France
Toyota Yaris
11/6/22

Pros: Charge of 48€ for fuel medium empty of the car without discution, seems a hidden charge

Cons: Not fair to charge us 48€ for take the car

United Kingdom
Toyota Aygo
11/5/22

Pros: Friendly and helpful

Cons: Nothing

Italy
Suzuki Alto
11/4/22

Pros: Actually first car was difficult to find in the parking terminal and was overbooked so we were referred to Sicily by Car and spent long time in queue and then getting an over 70kKm heavily used car with a lot of small scuffs and creeps and little damaged on outside body.

Cons: That we got an automatic gear car for the same booked price, and then fuel condition we got was same-to-same, which I prefer, and not half-to-half as in the first car hire rent conditions.

United Kingdom
Citro?n C1
11/4/22

Pros: Nothing.

Cons: They did not have the automatic I ordered.

United Kingdom
Toyota Aygo
10/22/22

Cons: Probably the worst rental car experience I’ve ever had. The car was in a very poor state of repair, by far the worst in the entire car park. The car was dirty, the clutch was in desperate need of replacement. There was damage all over the car, while this is not an issue I feel like the whole process off checking the car in and out was a money making opportunity to charge for damage that was already there. I was also made to pay a €40 charge that I was not made aware of prior to picking up car.

United Kingdom
Fiat 500
10/16/22

Cons: I am a person who always sees the reviews before executing any decision and until this service I have never left any review. But with this company I am forced to do that. Of all the cars I've rented to this day, this company was the worst. I had bad service, I felt insecure and cheated. I was robbed and cheated. I got services I hadn't asked for and forced to pay them. I've been on vacation many times and in all of them I rented a car, this was the worst of all, I don't recommend it to anyone.

France

10/13/22

Cons: Car broke down and Malta First Car Hire left us without any help! They said not having a replacement car available but when we checked their website they had many cars available. The agent is a very impolite man and it is always the fault of the customer. Never again! Stay away from them even when they are a little cheaper! In the end you will lose money. Also €40 for a (less then) half tank of gas in a small car (Toyota aygo) is hefty!

United States of America (USA)
Peugeot 308 Hatchback
10/5/22

Cons: They charged us for insurance because they said they couldn't take a debit card for the deposit only credit cards. Even though the email said they could accept debit cards.Then they told us our Fidelity credit card wasn't a credit card. then they would accept an American Express card. So we were required to purchace insurance at $150 for 13 days of use!!!!! This made our total cost $400 instead of $250. They scammed us!!!! You represent them. Drop this company!!!!!

Pros: Return of the car was very convenient with the ANPR camera recognizing the number plate.

Cons: Your agent was very rude to my wife. We had been travelling from the early hours of the morning and we had forgotten to bring our credit card. we paid the additional insurance of £160.00 GBP. we complained at the excessive amount charged for the use of the debit card. The agent simply told my wife "don't to come into my office and tell me how to run my business" " i wouldn't come into your work placer and tell you how to operate" very bad start top the holiday.

Australia
Kia Rio
9/6/22

Pros: The car itself was fine.

Cons: The man at the rental desk was abusive, not simply bad customer service, literterally abusive. He was angry that a spanish couple in front of us couldn't understand. We tried to help them but he kept telling us to shut up. He called them dumb and told them to listen carefully. When it was our turn he took our car and swiped it without explaining how much or what we were being charged for. He yelled each time we poltiely asked him a question. We were in shock. This man's behaviour is unaccept

Pros: Quick and easy pick up/drop off.

Cons: Added on a 40 euro fee for fuel (roughly double the price or more) which we weren’t able to turn down. Still took the pre authorised 1350 euros despite us having paid for full coverage from discover cars fairly expensive in total for what we got.

Estonia
Opel Mokka
8/12/22

Pros: new car in good condition. clean.

Cons: The Malta First Car office was hard to find as there was no sign. The boorishness and rudeness of agent Malcolm. They charged me extra 40-50 euros for fuel, no one asked me about it, I later saw this on the receipt. The size of the deposit is not known where it came from in the amount of 2800 euros (!) instead of 1300 euros. I was forced to agree on 2500 euro. The proposed option instead of the 2800 euros deposit is 28 euros additionally per rental day and a deposit of 300-400 euros. Disgusting!

Denmark
Citroen C3
8/1/22

Pros: Fast handling and nice service, except that I found out when picking up the car that it was a smaller car than I booked.

Cons: I booked a Citroen C3 or similar car, but got a Hyundai i10, which in my oppinion is quite smaller. We managed to be 4 adult people including luggage in it. But it was no pleasure in such a small car. I mentioned to the guy in the parking lot that showed me the car that an i10 can´t possibly be the same car class as a C3, but he said that it was. I was in good holiday mood and didn´t bother to complain and insist on a larger car, but I don´t think it was fair to get a smaller car than booked.

Volkswagen Up
7/8/22

Pros: They text me to check we were still coming and gave directions to the hire desk, which we would not have found otherwise

Cons: out flight was delayed and so we incurred a 25 euro late pick up fee, they bullied us into taking the excess insurance as the they wouldn't block the money on a debit card and didn't take AMEX, we were happy to walk away but they said they would take my mastercard even though I didn't have a limit on it to block the excess. They knew this was the case before taking the payment for the car.

United Kingdom
Hyundai i10
7/2/22

Pros: Not much!

Cons: Not very helpful. Lots of poor excuses. First they had no record of booking, then after phone calls they found it. Then they only had a basic manual car not an automatic that I booked. Then after more calls they found an automatic. Paid for full tank of fuel but car had just over half a tank! Overall they couldn't have cared less, like most of the Maltese people we came across.

Pros: The agent was not at desk. Although we had pre-paid for booking and had a confirmation, the agent suggested that booking didn't come across to him. Asked us to pay almost thrice the quote (including non-refundable fuel cost of around 45Euros)

Pros: I did not like anything We were directed to the wrong desk after waiting in a queue for over an hour we were told we were in the wrong queue and in finding the right desk we were met with a very rude man who told us we were late and he had given our car away and to rent another one would cost a further €300 on top of the deposit we had already paid The original booking was only costing €120! He had no sympathy to the fact we had been left without a car and our deposit was unlikely to be paid bk

Pros: Absolutely nothing, a very bad experience from A to Z

Cons: After the paperwork was done, I wad told the car was being cleaned and that I have to wait for 30 more minutes. After 45 minutes I was told the car wasn't even on site, so basically I was lied to, and I received a different car than the one reserved. Only after an additional hour I received the right car at the hotel. The car had significant damage on, probably the most damaged car that I have ever rented

Pros: Not pushed to buy the hiring insurance

United Kingdom
Ford Focus
10/27/21

Cons: 5 door - Ford Focus or equivalent turned into an old Skoda equivalent that sounded like it was failing apart on anything that wasn’t a perfect road. There was strong pressure from Malta First into getting premium insurance, a lady before me was visibly upset that they had charged her so much more despite her having premium through Discover Cars. Daylight robbery. I had read the fine print from DC so I thought I knew I didn’t need it but there needs to be clearer info here.

Lithuania
Hyundai i10
10/24/21

Pros: The car fit for purpose.

Cons: Absolutely unfair fuel policy. I should pay more than 50 Eur for half of tank, for 17/18 liters. Deposit, 1400 Eur, for such a car fairly too big. Manager was forcing me to buy additional insurance because of inability to reserve deposit. He blamed the bank. I should speak with my bank spending money and time in order to clarify what is wrong. There were no probs. It seems like problem was a manager, who “played” with card and told lies wanting to sell me additional and unnecessary insurance.

Pros: It was fairly quick.

Cons: It was like talking to an automaton. Just fill in form, sign here, pay. Here's the key - car is there. Bye. Worst were the lies. Being told "that's what it costs" when I challenged the charge for petrol (twice the pump price), and the take-it-or-leave-it, we-have-you-over-a-barrel attitude.. Discovercars.com MUST be up-front about these charges so customers can make an informed decision. What's the point in providing attractive hire rates when we get ripped off at point of sale?

Pros: Nothing

Cons: The staff member took our credit card and charged more than what was discussed without our consent. When asked for a refund, he refused. When asked to speak to his supervisor, he refused and got aggressive: -- He started shouting, -- stood up from his desk and bent over it placing his face near mine, -- he took the paper voucher I was holding from my hand, by force, with a sudden movement and almost hitting me in the face, -- he kept throwing his arms around us, closer and closer to my face

United Kingdom
Skoda Fabia Combi
8/28/21

Pros: Fairly easy and straightforward.

Cons: That it wasn’t clear that you needed a credit card to secure the deposit and without it they will add on an extra daily charge. I don’t have a credit card and they didn’t accept my wife’s. not happy as it cost me more to hire the car than I had anticipated and I would haven gone somewhere else had I known that. It is not written or explained clearly that if you don’t have a credit card they will charge you more for the care hire and make the deposit less.

United Kingdom
Kia Picanto
8/28/21

Pros: Drop off process was simple, but they didn’t check the car so I am concerned they could claim damage was there that wasn’t previously

Cons: We was sent a txt on arrival telling us where to go which was helpful but when we got there was told to wait outside, after waiting as instructed for 20 minutes we was then told we needed to go to a different desk to get the car where we then had to wait in a different queue for a further 30 minutes

Pros: The drop off was very straight forward.

Cons: I was pressured into purchasing extra insurance, the cost of the car was more than promised, the cost of the half tank of fuel was twice what it should have been. The representative at Malta airport did not look fully at the documents provided at booking to base the price of the hire on. Emailed customer service during the hire regarding these points but have still not heard from them, over a week later

Cons: No reply to the e-mail within the time limit. Not enough information about the payment methods before paying the deposit, therefore the total cost was twice the calculated amount. The price of fuel was doubled. The car had several damages that were not indicated before the delivery.

United Kingdom
Peugeot 208
8/6/21

Pros: It is located nearby the airport.

Cons: Not to be trusted at all. The "Half to empty" fuel policy its a rip off. You get charged for about 20 litres of petrol 48 Euros and of course nobody will return the car with an empty tank. You can't say no to this charge and they can ask as much as they want probably for this half tank with no explanation about the high cost.

United Kingdom
Peugeot 108
7/13/21

Cons: There was a charge of 40 euros for half a tank of fuel when picking up car from agent. However when using the car I spent 40 euros to fill the whole tank up. Therefore the company was not honest and open about this charge. Added to this I was not informed previously that there would be this upfront charge when picking up the car. The company should be honest about these two items to customers.

Italy
Peugeot 108
7/9/21

Pros: Did not appreciate beung cheated on petrol half tank. Nor that they wanted to charge me same again to keep same car back to back on 2 contracts

Cons: As above in fact I cancelled 2 bookings with them. They put cheap prices to get customer and then cheat us on petrol. All cheap car rentas are cheating customers including Surprice. It is a shame and bad for tourism.

France
Peugeot 108
6/22/21

Pros: This was a really unpleasant rental on the financial aspect as it felt like a scam.

Cons: Half a tank of gas charged in advance (at pickup) at an expensive price (48€), no negociation. The need for a CREDIT card (vs a debit card) was not communicated anywhere, and this led us to pay an extra insurance which more than doubled the price of the rental. This was of course said AFTER we paid the rental, before they requested for the deposit part, leaving no choice but loosing the rental money or paying for the extra insurance. All this while my debit card already provides all insurances.

Malta
Peugeot 208
6/21/21

Pros: Nothing. I did not appreciate at all the lack of transparency that forced me to cancel the booking. The name of the rental company is first of all misleading - I though I had booked with a company called First and realised that that was not the case only at the airport in Malta.

Cons: The lack of transparency is a total no-no; the lack of fair rental conditions is even worse

Cons: Was forced to pay for a half tank of gas upon picking the car up. That’s unusual for a rental car. Usually you return it with the same gas as when you received it.

Portugal
Peugeot 208
6/9/21

Pros: The fast process

Cons: Missing control in the deliver

Malta
Skoda Fabia Combi
6/9/21

Pros: Easy to extend my hire

Cons: I couldn't find the parking bay upon return, and then it took me a while to find the key drop-box.

United Kingdom
Peugeot 108
5/23/21

Pros: Nothing. They gave me too big a car and despite I had full coverage I still had to pay for some damage of the car and tow service. A joke.

Cons: Same as above.

France
Kia Picanto
5/16/21

Pros: easy rapid

Cons: nothing

Luxembourg
Peugeot 208
4/26/21

United Kingdom
Renault Megane Grandtour
10/13/20

Pros: The rep was very friendly. The drop off was very easy

Cons: We were charged an extortionate amount for petrol. It didn't seem 100% professional giving a deposit of €1800 whilst sat in a costa coffee and he rubbed my credit card as a copy.

Germany
Fiat 500 Cabrio
8/23/20

Cons: Front suspension totally loose, engine loose, clutch at the end!

Ireland
Citroen C1
8/14/20

Pros: Not much to be honest

Cons: They stood us up at the airport at 1 in the morning, no reply from them on the phone and finally when they came to drop off the car the next morning in the hotel, their explanation was "hehe covid" Plus very unclear on the "excess" we thought we had purchased the full insurance with no excess already but they decided that it was not the case and wanted to charge 1300 euro excess. You are better off with hertz of the other guys becasue in the end the price is the same and you get better service!

United Kingdom
Peugeot 108
5/9/19

Pros: Nothing. Absolutely nothing. The company are fraudsters

Cons: Terrible company. They added 38 Euros for fuel (this wasn’t mentioned when booking on your site). Worse- They kept declining my card for the deposit & pretended it was my banks fault. I confirmed with bank that their machine was not connecting with the bank. I think the rep was deliberately removing the SIM card of machine. He finally got the machine to work when I agreed to pay for the extra excess insurance from his company (that I didn’t need!) We saw him do this to 2 other renters! Fraud!

Peugeot 208
9/19/18

Pros: At last! what the world has been waiting for, a relaxed and unflustered car rental company. Absolutely brilliant with a friendly, helpful representative at the end of a phone call to answer any queries.

Cons: If I have to be critical, €42 for half a tank of fuel is a bit expensive, but it ensured we got to our destination without the stress of finding a filling station.

United Kingdom
Peugeot 107
7/17/18

Cons: Discovercarhire.com is a broker, not an actual rental company. The rental company Was KWL, which had no office, turned up 40 minutes late and then charged a damage waiver in addition to the discovercarhire.com’s own damage waiver. In effect I paid two damage waivers.

THE CAR IS A MESS! NOT COMFORTABLE AT ALL! EVEN IN THE CAR THERE WAS GARBAGE?! SERIOUSLY??

Australia
Skoda Fabia Combi
7/3/17

Pros: Nothing at all seeing I waited in line to get scammed. Check Trip Adviser and other sites for more about this scammer.

Cons: Malta first rep told me that my bank had refused my credit card while in fact the rep had mishandled the card machine deliberately and there was nothing wrong with my credit but this way I was forced to buy full insurance when I was already covered by my travel insurance. On top of this while I was extremely upset about this because I realised I was being scammed and there was not much I could do about it because after a long flight I just wanted to get my family to the hotel, the fuel bill too
