Booked through Discover Cars but the rental was with OK Mobility in Nice. We were looked after brilliantly by Jean Robert – incredibly helpful, polite, and friendly. He walked us through everything clearly and raised points we hadn’t even considered, like driving into Monaco and the need for full insurance. Thanks to him, it all went smoothly. Top-notch service – Jean really made the experience. Highly recommended!

Covering the price difference
Due to a rental company mistake that couldn't fulfil the terms of delivery in another city, discover cars notify me and cancelled my reservation and on the same time book me a more expensive solution to fullfil my request covering all the price difference. After completed my trip submit the rental agreement and and the invoice with my bank account details and my claim was accepted. My case handled by Alvin on the rebooking process and Vergil in the refund, both who I thank
