Proficient and friendly
I recently contacted Discover Cars with inquiries concerning an upcoming rental agreement. My interaction with Eve was notably efficient and cordial. She promptly grasped my concerns and offered to contact me once she had consulted with the international rental provider. Eve followed up as promised within ten minutes, providing a comprehensive update. I extend my gratitude to Eve for her exceptional customer service and wish her continued success.
