Our accomodation in Rapid City had us at point where we had easy access to pretty much the entire surrounding areas, from Rushmore to Deadwood to Badlands...it was absolutely fantastic and so much more than we realised.

Customer service professionale ed efficace
Prezzi molto competitivi. Avevo avuto un problema con la mia prenotazione, ho chiamato il customer service, in questo caso specifico ho parlato con Valentino, che mi ha saputo aiutare prontamente in modo professionale ed efficace, dando assistenza in modo semplice e pragmatico. In 10 minuti abbiamo risolto il problema, evitando le classiche telefonate infinite che si hanno mediamente con i servizi di assistenza. Ancora un volta complimenti. 5/5 meritato. Very competitive prices. I had an issue with my booking and called customer service. In this specific case, I spoke with Valentino, who was able to help me quickly in a professional and effective manner, providing assistance in a simple and pragmatic way. We solved the problem in 10 minutes, avoiding the usual endless phone calls you typically experience with support services. Once again, well done. A well-deserved 5/5.

Thank you Discovercars customer service!!!!
We had many troubles with the rental company (which is called MEX, based closed to the Cancun airport in Mexico, worst company I've ever dealed with in any sense). Discovercars took care of us since the beginning and for months asked MEX to give us back at least part of the money (obviously they always refused). In the end Discovercars refunded us part of the rental cost, gaining my absolute trust and a client forever. I really have to thank Darina L. (Customer Service Supervisor), who did a truly amazing job.

Car hire in Mauritius
Car hire in Mauritius We had an easy time to hire the car, the pick up and drop off was seamless. Can add additional drivers at no extra cost. Very flexible and delivered the car to the hotel and picked up from the hotel. Very helpful customer service with advice on where to go and where to park. Parking was easy everywhere.

Exceptional service
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the outstanding service provided by DiscoverCars.com, and I feel compelled to share my positive feedback, particularly regarding the exceptional assistance from Alexandre. I encountered an issue with a car rental supplier, which, as one might imagine, was quite stressful. However, DiscoverCars.com took my complaint seriously and handled it with the utmost professionalism. From the moment I reached out, Alexandre was incredibly helpful. They not only listened to my concerns but also ensured that there was consistent follow-up communication, keeping me informed every step of the way. Alexandre's dedication to resolving my issue was truly impressive.
