Best customer service agent Nicolas…
Their customer service agent Nicolas was absolutely professional and did all his best to solve an issue we had. He helped us a lot. He managed to find what we needed just In minutes so we could get a car and do our trip. We were lucky to have him with us in a challenging situation. You can rely on that company and it's customer service.

Salam
Salam, To be honest, I was really scared to take the risk and rent a car through “DiscoverCars.com, especially that this is the first visit for my family to Milan. But I never regret my decision. It was easy app and I had never faced any problem in the process of renting the car in this awesome price, if we compare it with other renting cars company. Unfortunately, I had an accident and the Italian company which I rented the car with asked me to pay for the damages although i chose to rent the car with the option of insurance in Discovercars. In this case I paid for the insurance, and then I paid for the expenses of fixing the car for the Italian company. I contacted Discovercars and explained the whole situation with all proved documentation and they were really concerned and were sorry for the incident happened and they decided to give full refund for the insurance I had paid earlier. I am really happy and appreciate their way of replying to my emails, especially Mr. Vergil. He is the one who handle my complaint and reassure that he will do his best to investigate the case with the best solution to me. Thanks a lot and for sure it will not be the last time to rent a car from your website. Thanks for your honesty, quick response, understanding and the good prices you afford 😍 Best regards Mr. Saeed

When bad turns to good
What was supposed to be a simple pick up at Washington Dulles Airport turned into a complete nightmare with me having to pay again for the pre paid car I’d already booked! After travelling for 12 hours this was an awful situation. However upon returning I contacted DiscoverCars.com and was dealt with by an exceptional member of their team, Paula - Senior Customer Service Specialist. This individual went above and beyond my expectations and although a lengthy process she kept me up to date continuously. Without a doubt, because of her personal aftercare service, I would definitely recommend this company and I will most certainly be using them again.

Best company for rent a car
Hello, I am very pleased to use discovercars.com as an intermediary for car rentals. I am very satisfied with the best prices and the entire process of selecting and booking a car, and I must also highlight the great support in solving various problems (specifically Chi B.) that may arise with the car rental company. I have already been refunded twice for unauthorized charges. I want to highly recommend this company to everyone!
