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 the 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.
Pros: Great customer service Lovely friendly and helpful staff Great car Was clean and comfortable Easy and fast pick up and drop off
Cons: It was great. Just a suggestion that maybe if there is capacity for the team to do so, it will be great if the navigation system gets reset between customers to delete the favorites etc. Also if it's possible to clear the linked devices list (Bluetooth).
Pros: Cheap and easy car rental. Quick check-out and no-fuss drop off.
Cons: A phone holder would have been useful, but definitely not a deal breaker.
Pros: Excellent service. Well maintained car. Good instructions to pick up car after hours. Comfortable for 5 people with 3 full size suit case
Cons: Nothing much to Complain about
Pros: Easy peasy...had no problems finding the off-site location (didn't use the shuttle).
Pros: The price was low for the rental, though came evident that they probably make their money by not offering insurance so they can charge significantly for any kind of issue someone might have with their cars
Cons: Absolute nightmare experience with Model Rentals - our hire car stolen, they blamed us without any evidence and repeatedly harassed to pay them more money saying we should just pay more as we had insurance to cover it, even though we know we were not at fault and they couldn't prove otherwise. It was descending into basically a scam and would tell everyone avoid them like a plague they are! Thankfully Discover Cars insurance saw through them and let us complete our claim without giving in to it.
