Great experience on DiscoverCars.com
It has been a great experience on DiscoverCars.com so far. I received great support from customer service for the full claim coverage taken up with the company. Prompt support was also given when I needed to add on car seat after booking. Transaction was hassle-free and smooth. Already recommended DiscoverCars.com to my family and friends. Definitely a returning customer!
