On a month-long trip to Europe
On a month-long trip to Europe, I used the DiscoverCars.com site for full coverage insurance. Due to severe damage to the tire during the trip, I replaced it with a new one and finished the trip and submitted the relevant documents. The person in charge was Mostafa, who immediately solved all the problems and received a reply saying that he would deposit the bill into my bank account. Thank you for your prompt processing.

All the difficults were with good end.
I successfully booked a car with debit card, which is not usually for rental cars. We had some problems with the car company, but thanks to the emploer Chi. B., all end well. So this app is very useful, and I will use it next time for sure.

Customer service professionale ed efficace
Prezzi molto competitivi. Avevo avuto un problema con la mia prenotazione, ho chiamato il customer service, in questo caso specifico ho parlato con Valentino, che mi ha saputo aiutare prontamente in modo professionale ed efficace, dando assistenza in modo semplice e pragmatico. In 10 minuti abbiamo risolto il problema, evitando le classiche telefonate infinite che si hanno mediamente con i servizi di assistenza. Ancora un volta complimenti. 5/5 meritato. Very competitive prices. I had an issue with my booking and called customer service. In this specific case, I spoke with Valentino, who was able to help me quickly in a professional and effective manner, providing assistance in a simple and pragmatic way. We solved the problem in 10 minutes, avoiding the usual endless phone calls you typically experience with support services. Once again, well done. A well-deserved 5/5.

Thank you Discovercars customer service!!!!
We had many troubles with the rental company (which is called MEX, based closed to the Cancun airport in Mexico, worst company I've ever dealed with in any sense). Discovercars took care of us since the beginning and for months asked MEX to give us back at least part of the money (obviously they always refused). In the end Discovercars refunded us part of the rental cost, gaining my absolute trust and a client forever. I really have to thank Darina L. (Customer Service Supervisor), who did a truly amazing job.
