Pros: very close to airport

United States of America (USA)
Nissan Sentra
6/27/24

Pros: I waited almost two hours while I was bypassed for other customers after having checked in and paid for the car. My car was given to a different customer. The agent had to come downstairs and help me get the car

Cons: I have already said. Paying discover and mex for insurance and the huge wait to get the car

New Zealand
Volkswagen Polo
4/10/24

Pros: Only that the car was modern and worked.

Cons: Hidden costs explained as my liability insurance wasn’t at a higher enough amount for local laws. Yet I never saw any actual costs other than hand written on a piece of paper.

4/3/24

Pros: SCAM company! They doubled the price that I paid on the Discovery Car platform saying that the insurance package I had was invalid.

Cons: Nothing. I will NOT use this company ever again.

Canada
Volkswagen Polo
3/9/24

Cons: The cost of the rental was 500% more than advertised. I’m happy with what I paid and even expected it from past experiences although I think it’s unfair to put a price that is for the most part an arbitrary number. For example the advertised price was $222 CAD on your website and when I got to the reception desk it was over $1100 CAD. Considering I a paid $60 to use your services just to book a rental car and was lead astray as pricing goes, I will now book directly with the rental company.

2/27/24

Pros: The representative that we spoke with while we were waiting for a car to arrive, was very nice and helpful in terms of explaining things we could do while we were in Puerto Vallarta.

Pros: The car was fine.

United Kingdom
Volkswagen Polo
1/5/24

Cons: They charge on invoice in USD then at desk they convert to pesos and mark up the price by 15 percent,so why not just charge in pesos,this is a rip off fee ,and then also got charged more than what was quoted on email ,asked why they just said it's for taxes but this was included.

Ireland
Volkswagen Polo
12/19/23

Pros: Nothing. I didn't like being lied to and told to come back later even though there was no car or even a plan on how to get the car. The staff wouldn't even let me wait in the waiting area nore would they let me use the phone to contact discover.com or confirm to discover that there were no cars

Cons: There was no car to pick up when I arrived nore would there be the mex rent a car company knew this but still told me to come back. They were very dishonest and very un helpful.

They charged me ~CAD$850 instead of ~CAD$450 quoted by Discovery Cars.

United States of America (USA)

4/29/19

Pros: Service was o.k. Abnoxious guy trying to push me into other things while deciding to rent a Not So Good Car. He wasn't even behind the counter. He helped bring my bags up stairs. I had to tell him to get out of my face!

Cons: This guy just written about and the car was bashed up. I wasn't sure I should take it due to returning and them keeping my money for cleaning. They weren't bothered by the side but charged me for the uncleanliness on the inside. It was sandy and a little spillage on the seat. Normal wear and tear with a kid. Also, we were charged mandatory $25 a day for insurance, even though we had insurance. This doubled the price!
