Dodge Caravan
January 4, 2019

Pros: Fast, friendly service

Cons: Van rented was new to Routes so it did not come/start with a full tank of gas. I ended up incorrectly estimating the amount I would use and ended up giving away a free quarter/tank to Routes with no refund given....

Pros: Friendly, cooperative, efficient, easy to work with.

Jeep Cherokee
August 16, 2018

Pros: The agents were doing the best they could, but the system of renting and returning was horrible and I'm sure many people missed their flights because of it.

Cons: The car looked like it had been in a collision, was dirty and greasy on the inside, service to pick it up was painfully slow, the shuttle from the airport took ONE HOUR to pick me up then nearly made me wait because I was traveling with a bicycle, the agency was VERY far from the airport... I could go on and on...

Cons: EVERYTHING, FUCK FACES, I DIDN"T EVEN GET THE CAR AND WENT TO ALAMO.

Toyota Corolla Sedan
August 9, 2018

Pros: 1. The company requires you to purchase their liability insurance or present the policy number of your own liability insurance. This was not communicated to me in advance, nor was anyone else on line behind/ahead of me aware of this either. The lobby was filled with furious customers. 2. There seemed to be about 7 staff sitting around but only 1 staff serving a line of customers. There were only 4 people ahead of me but I still waited 25 minutes to be seen.

Cons: 3. The company does not let you go and pick up the car, they have to bring it out to you. I saw families waiting 20-30 minutes for the car to be brought out AFTER they waited in line. 4. Read the reviews of this company and you will see how many people feel scammed and cheated by them. 5. They seem to be the only car rental company you can't access by shuttle from the airport. I had to take a cab there. 6. DROP THEM from your search algorithm!!! P.S. I did NOT end up renting this car.

August 7, 2018

Pros: Short waiting line and efficient process.

August 5, 2018

Cons: Confusing traffic flow. No one greeted me to tell me whether to leave keys in the car or not. At counter was told to turn in keys, but was not initially given a receipt showing zero balance. Had to go back to counter to request.

United States of America (USA)
Kia Rio
August 4, 2018

Cons: The Routes people were fine, but again, didn't make clear that I needed proof of insurance when I made my reservation. A real hassle. They also did not have the kind of car I had asked for.

Toyota Yaris
August 2, 2018

Pros: They had the best price for my travel dates, without question. At the counter, they "upgraded" my vehicle for no apparent charge, but they didn't explain why. They were very efficient at shuttling passengers back to the airport after returning vehicles.

Cons: Overall, they were horribly inefficient. They told me it would take 15-20 minutes for a shuttle to pick us up at the airport; instead, it took about 50 minutes and several phone calls. When I arrived at the rental hub, there were two people in front of me. But it still took me almost an hour - on top of the wait for the shuttle - to get to the counter! The staff seemed to be struggling with instructions and procedures set down by incompetent management.

Cons: When we returned the car, the service rep was completely obnoxious. Also, it took way too long to return the car. Other car rental agencies are much more efficient.

July 25, 2018

Pros: Service agents were friendly, competent, and helpful. They were efficient in getting us through the check-out/check-in process, and made sure that we had a vehicle to meet our needs.

Cons: Too few shuttles: after waiting more than 40 minutes for the shuttle, we needed up taking a cab ($36) to the rental place. It took us almost 1.5 hours from when we retrieved our bags to when we were driving away in the car.

United States of America (USA)
Toyota Corolla Sedan
July 25, 2018

Pros: Great shuttle service to and from O'Hare, associates were friendly, efficient and readily available.

Jeep Wrangler
July 22, 2018

Pros: Bus driver was very nice

Cons: Desk attendant said my credit card wouldn’t work and was going to just leave me stranded. I spent half an hour calling back to the uk at my expense and had my bank tell your incompetent fool that she was using the wrong card machine. My card is chip and pin. My wife and I were almost in tears and not even an apology was given. I will make sure I tell everyone about the bad experience we had with your firm.

Jeep Cherokee
July 21, 2018

Pros: The price was reasonable car nice. People were friendly.

Cons: The car rented engine light came on breaks needed repair. Every time u hit the breakers the car jittered. Returning the car was caios. When being dropped off at the airport we were brought to arrivals not departure. People had to carry their luggage across 2 traffic lanes then up another floor. Driver said he was too busy. Not acceptable.

July 21, 2018

Pros: Our flight was delayed and the reservation CANCELLED because we were late. THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER ENCOUNTERED WITH A RENTAL CAR COMPANY!

United States of America (USA)
Jeep Cherokee
July 21, 2018

Pros: They asked for a 500 dollar deposit and the online registration did not note this at all. I did not get the car due to this and have not received my deposit back.

Cons: I contacted the rental car place an hour ahead of time, they stated they were overbooked and I would have to wait until people return the cars to get one. After waiting an hour and a half in line I was told that there was not a car to accommodate us due to the number of people with me (but I booked for the number of people) although the worker upgraded the one guy ahead of me to a car that would have. So it seemed I had no other options so I agreed to take the smaller and uncomfortable car.

Pros: Great value.

Cons: A little further than most agencies from terminal. Got a jeep instead of Toyota Corolla. Rougher ride.

Toyota Yaris
July 20, 2018

Pros: Nothing. They drove me out, denied my rental, and then couldn't even drive me to the other place I found that would rent to me. What a waste of time and money. Even the cancellation and return of my money was sketchy beyond belief.

Cons: Terrible, terrible service. Horrible policies. I had to cross eight lanes of busy traffic with my luggage because they wouldn't take me to the place that actually would rent to me after Routes denied my rental. One associate was willing to try my card, the supervisor refused due to company policy. They could use my card for the deposit but not for the rental. What bullshit. Will be telling everyone how awful the service was. And have already contacted my credit card company to get my money back

United States of America (USA)
Toyota Yaris
July 19, 2018

Cons: I reserved a compact car, and they ran out, so the smallest car they could provide me with was a Jeep. And it only had 1/4 tank of gas. I ended up spending almost $300 in gasoline because of this. What's the point of reserving a car in advance if they're going to give them all away?

Jeep Wrangler
July 16, 2018

Pros: Nothing. I spent over 40 minutes on hold, to learn that there were no cars available and a backlog of over 15 people waiting in the facility.

Cons: Everything. From arriving at the airport, there were no vehicles available for an 8 AM reservation. I expected to be in and out, but when I arrived there were no cars available and a backlog of people waiting for returned vehicles. I had a confirmation number and deposit put on the vehicle, to learn that there was 1 jeep available with a broken window and AC provided to the gentleman in front of me. Upon approach to the facility I was ignored by staff. By 12:00 PM - still no vehicles available.

July 16, 2018

Pros: Thoroughly went over the car with me.

Cons: Took a very long time to pick up the car. When I returned the car, I waited in the shuttle for almost 15 minutes before they took me to the airport. I gave myself plenty of time, so it was fine. However, if I were in a hurry trying to catch my flight, I would have been very upset.

Pros: There is no positive comment I have for Routes

Cons: I probably would never use Routes again in the future. Their customer service was horrible and their agents are extreamly rude and unprofessional. It took us 2 hours to pick up our rental car. We were traveling with an infant and made traveling a little more difficult with their lack of promptness to get us out the door.

Pros: would have been a good deal if I hadn't had to pay $72 for insurance

Cons: Complicated to get to car pick up place. I had to call a number to tell them I arrived and then waited 30 minutes for a van. They forgot to put the iPass in my car so when I got to the tolls I went through the wrong lane.

There were 3 other people already there &waiting as they had also made reservations in advance to arrive to NO cars &another customer arrived shortly after me.

Pros: Not a single item was pleasant

Cons: No mention of any issues in the week before the booking and we were denied the rental car at the counter the first day of our vacation. When we called for a pickup from the airport the shuttle took an hour to get there. We saw shuttles from every other rental car brand several times while waiting. After pickup the shuttle driver took two separate detours to talk to/ drop off friends. The list goes on and on, nothing was good.

June 29, 2018

Pros: Customer service personnel were very good

Cons: The car had extensive damage to the outside. The rotors were shot on the brakes. The type of car I rented was not available and I had to argue with them to put me in a car I was comfortable with - tried to put me in a Jeep Wrangler which is not appropriate for my travel needs. Did not mention Toll payment options (coming from a state with no tolls, was completely unprepared - and found out they have ipass options)

Pros: Our agent during pick up was phenomenal. They were very friendly and gave us a free upgrade. Explained everything perfectly.

Cons: Upon return I realized we would be late for our scheduled time. I called and spoke to someone and they told me that I would be ok returning the car late so long as it did not go 24 hrs past my original time. I was a little upset to arrive late and get charged a whole days worth of a rental when I only used it for a few hours. Looking back I should have kept the car the whole extra day since I was charged for it. Had I known I would be charged I would not have taken as much time to return it.

I ask someine how long, and she just says "I don't know." the agent helping someone is free so I go ask her to help and she says she won't until she's done with the customer who just left the counter because "there's no point," and walks away.

Pros: Car was clean.

Cons: The facility was not very clean. The staff was not very flexible on providing the suv type that was requested and provided only Jeep Wrangler, the trip was not comfortable for us or the baby because the car ceiling would get very hot and the baby’s car seat was almost hitting the ceiling. Jeep Wrangler does fall in the suv category but it is much smaller than the SUV type I booked like the Nissan Rogue or the Toyota RAV 4. Plus, it is much more rigid and less economical to drive a Jeep.

Pros: Great car. Excellent staff. Also, I was served by about 6 people in total - all really good, very professional, and friendly. It was also apparent how much each of the team members respected and enjoyed working with their colleagues. It really was impressive and made a great impression on me.

Cons: Pick up from the airport was slow. Maybe because of the time of day and no signage apparent to make you sure you were in the right place.

Pros: Terrible service. I sure hope they reimburse us for the rental reservation fee.

Cons: Arrived at 1 am in Chicago, called Routes, and they had overbooked rentals and did not follow through with providing us a rental. I asked if we could book with someone else and be reimbursed for the price difference, to which they said no. Its disgraceful to leave people carless in the middle of the night to pinch a few more pennies for your business.

May 31, 2018

Pros: That the shuttle service was quick and easy.

Cons: That I was unable to rent the car simply because I don't have a credit card.. I have a debit card with more than enough money on it, but I guess that's not good enough for you people.. You need to realize that not everybody in today's day and age have a credit card registered to them, nor do they want a credit card. There must be another option for those of us who build our credit without having an actual credit card.. Until then, your credit card single option for payment will not work for me.

May 31, 2018

Cons: You needed a copy of my insurance card when declining your insurance.... this was different than any other rental company and i had to bother my wife to take a picture. I did not see that requirement anywhere but also did not read everything. I would still be argueing with you if she wasnt home to take a picture.

Kia Rio
May 30, 2018

Pros: We showed up to be told there was one car left. Ended up that car key was broken. They would not rent the luxury vehicle to us to do not having an insurance policy with us and because the $1000 deposit was ridiculous. We waited for over an hour waiting for the incompetent rental agents to hide in the back and not tell us what to expect. We ended up having to rent from another agent last minute due to the companies mistake and ignorant employees. I’m beyond frustrated.

Cons: Everything was the worst. Hands down most j professional, least organized company for rentals I have ever used. I am still wishing for all the charges to be returned on my card or will contact the better business bureau for this fraudulent company.

May 20, 2018

Pros: Staff seemed friendly enough.

Cons: The email I received did not indicate that I had to show proof of insurance (although it did list several other items I needed to bring), although it was in the fine print of the contract. My state of Massachusetts does not even require insurance companies to issue cards; it is enough to simply state which company issued your policy. Since this is an unusual request (based on experience with other rental agencies) this requirement needs to be highlighted rather than relegated to fine print.

Pros: Nothing much, they were disorganized at the counter, it took my 40 minutes to get my car, made me provide liability coverage, I did not get the car I wanted, they gave me a Jeep that guzzles more gas than a rio, the car was dirty outside and in and the breaks were really warm as I had to really apply pressure to stop the car. Not good

May 18, 2018

Pros: Agent was careful about looking over the car and providing info about my route to begin my journey

Cons: Phone number provided online to call the shuttle when I landed was for Florida, and not for where I was picking up vehicle at OHare in Chicago. The car I requested and was to get was a Toyota (or similar), but I was given a much larger vehicle that I was not used to driving and which increased my cost of fuel ( less mileage per gallon)

Pros: NOTHING! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Routes should not be allowed to be a vendor you sugggest to your clients, they were a miserable company to deal with and they give Discover Car Hire a bad name just be being associated with them!

Cons: I didn't like that I had to wait 50 minutes to be picked up by the shuttle, I didn't like that I waited over an hour and a half to get checked into my car, I didn't like that I was given a Jeep Wrangler when I paid for a Jeep Cherokee, I didn't like that when I called our shuttle driver "Sir" I was told "MY NAME IS LAWRENCE AND YOU WILL ADDRESS ME BY MY NAME!" When I told him Sir is a term of respect Lawrence yelled "I'M NOT YOUR SLAVE!" Multiple times...Talk about uncomfortable!

April 28, 2018

Pros: Nothing!! We never rent from this company again and we travel into the country and rent cars 4-5 times a year! Not that this will be looked at and not that anyone from this company cares!

Cons: As stated above it was not what we rented. It also rides like a lumber wagon and is very very difficult to get in and out of for someone under 5ft like myself. The last straw was we put my grand daughters car seat in the back, with her in it, when we stopped the seatbelt did not latch and she feel forward in her car seat. I was very angry that this vehicle endangered my grand daughters life!!! I will NEVER rent from this company again. There were several other issues but again run out of space

Pros: The price.

Cons: Every aspect of the customer service. I have NEVER experienced such horrible customer service in my life. The shuttle is the worst system ever, missed us more than once even though I, my friend, and another customer were all in the RIGHT place and looking out for the shuttle. When I called I could not get the customer reps to give me an exact ETA so that I could be sure to not "miss it", I was hung up on instead of given an answer. After 40 min, I got an Uber to the rental location.

March 25, 2018

Pros: The car was clean.

Cons: The car wasn't my original choice. A car with windows you can roll down and you don't have vertically jump to get in to would have been preferred over a jeep. However, we weren't given any choice. Additionally, the return service experience was awful. Customer service reps were impatient with customers waiting over 20 min to get taken to the airport, and the driver who dropped us off at the terminal almost hit two cars and drove like a lunatic. We will never use Routes again.

Pros: The people were overall nice, but at the whim of bad policies and did not have the control to resolve situations themselves.

Cons: Didn't receive a confirmation from Routes or DiscoverCarHire. Took over 30 minutes to arrive (blamed weather, but snow was not sticking, and this is Chicago afterall). Once arrived and with 6 passenger in the van, when we were at the entrance to Mannheim Road, the driver got a call to go back to Terminal 5E at the airport and he actually did a U turn right before Routes to go back to the airport. Ridiculous add-on fees and insurance policy. Paperwork and a long wait to depart to airport on retur

Pros: Was a very nice car and ran very well. Had good amenities. However, there was a problem with the speedometer as it stuck at 64mph.

Cons: It was very busy, congested with the reps a bit stressed. I also think the rep was not honest in that she really pushed me to get a toll pass for an extra $9 per day, saying it would end up paying off, but that would have been much more expensive than the tolls I ended up paying in IL.

Cons: The agent spoke way too fast. You guys are putting a $500 hold on someone’s CC and she’s just saying it like it’s routine. I felt she was just scripted and wanted to speed through everything. While I get moving through the process her words should be concise and clear.
