Happy DiscoverCars customer from Canada
Had a mishap with my rental while parked in a lot. Wasn’t even in the car at the time. Big shout out to MAX from DiscoverCars who finalized the claim in record time. Would highly recommend DiscoverCars to anyone renting. Mine was a 2 month rental and I will definitely return to them again next year. Thanks Max.

Sincerely the best customer service I have received from any company.
Julia, Liam, and Madara were incredibly kind and helpful. I was feeling a lot of stress around my travel circumstances and this team of individuals effortlessly came to my aid with empathy and competency to resolve my situation. They were all very patient and respectful with me. I will always use DiscoveryCars.com for all my future rentals. Thank you so much!

Very happy with the experience
Very happy with the experience. I appreciated the transparency of all costs and the clear explanation of the insurance, which was my main focus since we’ll be spending a lot of time on the road. The deal was also the best across all the platforms I checked. Booking was quick and easy. I’d definitely recommend it.

I have used discovercars twice and I had a positive experience every time. Honestly, I thought it might be a scam but everything worked - once in Italy and once in South Africa. I can definitely recommend them.
