We were put behind and had to miss parts of our trip due to not having our car the first night and getting on the road first thing the next morning. After that we had a good time.

We went to Winston-Salem and Mt. Airy. Both were lovely. This time of year, with the trees turning colors, was spectacular. Old Salem is such an impressive place.

Brown Mountain Beach near Lenoir, NC was a gorgeous spot to swim. The Schiele Museum in Gastonia offered a family-friendly atmosphere!

Friendly staff, good prices and fast service. I wasn't convinced using an agency I had not heard of before but it was much better experience then I have gotten form the larger agencies recently.

Very professional service
I always have good experiences with DicoverCars.com. My late trip was in Italy, and as usual the booking went very smoothly and I got all the important information very clearly stated since the reservation phase. However, we had a problem with the rental company when we got to the destination. I submitted a claim on Sunday using their very easy to use claim form and on Monday morning, Joel from DiscoverCars.com sent me an email, reimbursing me as requested. Very professional.

Outstanding service!
The booking process was very quick and easy. The deal I received was truly the best deal. Most importantly, the claim I submitted was processed and a full refund was approved within minutes, even though it was officially supposed to take a few days. Thank you a lot for outstanding service!

Quick Response to Email request
Marcus Muller at Discover Cars responded within 1 hour to my request for correcting an email address I'd entered in error. Not only making the correction, he replied to me to say that he had fulfilled my request! Honestly, I was surprised to even hear back, but it was reassuring to know that it had been done. Kudos to Marcus and DiscoverCars!
