Amazing and hassle free experience.
The car i had booked wasn't available, but the agent (Ashish from Union Cars) gave us a better and new car. The entire experience was hassle free. He even helped us download offline maps for Mauritius so we didn't have to use data for navigation. I definitely recommend availing service through Discover Cars.
