We had a sweet Dodge Journey SUV and could easily travel the gravel roads in the canyons. It was great on our tour of Joshua Tree National Park, and it even got pretty good gas mileage.

Easy to book with them
Easy to book with them. Found them to offer the seemingly best prices although the Car Suppliers (the actual rental company) were fairly limited. To be honest, the reviews of the Car Suppliers don't match up on any review sites. Some get good reviews on one site but terrible reviews on another site. Not sure how that works. Maybe on the big Ggle the reviews are more localised? Not sure. DiscoverCars could further improve booking by splitting the luggage into large and medium categories, but overall the experience is very good

My experience with DiscoverCars.com was…Value trust—turning a policy exception into a loyalty-building moment.
My experience with DiscoverCars.com was exceptional due to their transparency and flexibility in resolving issues. Despite their policy typically not allowing refunds after the rental period ends, they promptly honored my request when I contacted them immediately and processed a "goodwill refund" within days. This level of care is rare among rental companies and shows genuine respect for customers! 1. Proactive Customer Support: - Lightning-fast response (my issue was resolved the same day I picked up the car). - Flexibility in adapting policies for special circumstances. 2. Reliability: - They deliver on promises . 3. Outstanding Staff: - Marco was wonderful! - He listened attentively and didn’t just say "it’s against policy" – he actively sought a solution. - His approach was kind, professional, and reassuring. Final Thoughts: DiscoverCars.com sets high standards for customer care. Employees like Marco are why they excel. If you want a company that values your time and money while handling tough situations professionally – this is it!
