Routes Car Rental at Calgary Airport
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: Once reserved through Discover they can do a better job of notifying you Routes will be the actual rental company. The emails I received from Routes had a “spam/fishing” feel to them.
Cons: Our car had a tire that had a slow leak. We ended up going to the nearby service station at least every other day to make sure the tire had the proper psi. Given we were driving on some remote roadways I wished they would have been a little more attentive to when we picked the car up. I will add that when we dropped the car off I made Sabi aware of the issue and watched as he noted it on the drop off paper work, hopefully preventing the next driver from our stress.
Cons: at the time I picked up the car, it needed an oil change, the tire pressure was low
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Everything
Pros: Customer service agents very friendly and willing to best explain all details of the rental and any additional coverages including those provided by discover cars
Cons: Line to pick up car extremely long only two customer service agents. Many additional extras not explained by discover cars like out of province costs and windshield coverages.
Pros: None
Cons: Doesn’t not offer unlimited mileage will charge to drive outside of Alberta. This shouldn’t be the case.
