I am very satisfied with the services of DiscoverCars.
I am very satisfied with the services of DiscoverCars. In particular, the processing of my request for Full Coverage compensation was completed within 24 hours and I was refunded the entire amount of 423 EUR that RentSmart24 calculated for a small scratch on the rear bumper of the car. Special thanks to Mostafa for the quick response and good work.

I needed support from DiscoverCars after my reservation, regarding early drop off the car. They helped me - contacted with the car rental company and checked other possibilities if they would be needed. I hope that the time when I have the rented car will also go without any problems
