Alexander, Senior Customer Service Specialist with Discovercars was really helpful in approving my claim. Didn't expect to get a reply from him on Saturday night! Such services will never happen in my country, sad to say. Thank U so much for making my day! Will surely stick to Discovercars again and again..... ;)

The best agregator on the market!
This is not my first booking with the company, and I have always found what I needed thanks to the great filtering system. Additionally, when I needed to cancel my booking due to external circumstances, their service was exceptional.
