Body works refund
While booking there insurance, they explicitly show what is covered and what is not covered by the insurance package. Although it is important to note that they don't cover collision damage waiver(CDW) or liability coverage with either or both going to be charged by the car rental service. I had a scratch on the body of the rental vehicle for which I was charged upon return by the rental company. I sent the receipt, picture and other necessary documents to Discover cars, I was replied almost immediately by an agent, Chi. B. In their reply I was told it might take 5 business days to sort out my case, but my full refund was approved the next day.

No Hassles.
No frills car and no hassles. Car had a few scrapes etc at pick up but no fuss made to record. No fuss made at drop off either . Was not full to full as contract so they gained a little fuel. Collection at airport was very efficient.

Great service
Great service, reasonable prices, good that I decided to go for a full cover. Rented a car on my trip everything was good till the last day on holiday. Someone scratched our car. I called the DiscoverCars.com helpline; I was pleasantly surprised with the quick answer, and agent Gunta was very reassuring not to worry about a thing. On my return home, I filled in a full coverage claim, which was successful. Max promptly, in about 2 days, reviewed the case and initiated the money which I had to pay to the rental company for damage, to be paid back into my account.
