The Pyrenees are beautiful, we drove to Arizkan and sent a week in a small basque village for Christmas with amazing views and great Christmas traditions.

We used the car to travel around the San Sebastian area. Sometimes we would do city drives, and other times, mountain drives with our family and luggage in tow. It was very useful for carrying our swimming gear and all the shopping for our mountain residence! It was a wonderful way to experience the beautiful scenery in the area. We also really enjoyed using the carplay function for coordinating our plans with our other family members on the go!

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.

The best value for money AND experience
I am a regular car hire client of DiscoverCars.com, not only because they consistently have the best prices, but because their customer service is absolutely exceptional. I have rarely had a bad experience, but in the rare occasion that something has gone wrong (because of the car suplier) they have done their best to resolve the issues. They have even gone the extra mile post rental to ensure my experience has been positive. I recommend them hundred percent. Don't waste time elsewhere, DiscoverCars are truly the best!
