I rented a car on the DiscoverCars app…
I rented a car on the DiscoverCars app for Milan last month. Since it wasn't my first time using this platform, I usually took full insurance. However, the experience I had with Noleggiare was extremely unpleasant (from all points of view - I really advise you to be extremely vigilant with this company that tries to trick you with various tricks just to take your money) but the support I received from DiscoverCars was very good and appreciated from all points of view! Thank you to Darina for her impeccable professionalism!

The portal offered good service
The portal offered good service, however the rental company was not perfect. My credit card was not working, the company forced me to buy the 450 Euro Gold protection package. The car reported engine failure after 20 km and turned to engine protection mode, so it was very slow. The company was not able the give an other car, one day later they fine one, but declined to deliver it to my hotel, I had to travel with the engine falilured car to the airport. The agent was not familiar with the procedure and had difficulties to do the paperwork, changing the car was very slow. They refused any compensation, I even paid for the day I delivered their faulty car.

EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE BY…
EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE BY ATTENDANTS AT AIRPORT I WAS GIVEN A VERY BAD CAR IN THE BEGINNING. IT WAS ACCIDENT DAMAGED AND THE WHOLE CAR WAS DAMAGED WITH PAINT SCRATCHES ETC. I REFUSED TO ACCEPT THAT CAR AND SO JAWAD WAS VERY HELPFUL. HE REPLACED THE CAR WITH A NEWER ONE THAT WAS IN A MUCH BETTER CONDITON BUT IT TOOK AN HOUR FOR HIM TO GO BACK TO THE COMPOUND, CLEAN IT AND BRING IT BACK TO ME . I SHOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE NEWER CAR IN THE FIRST INSTANCE BECAUSE I LOST OVER AN HOUR AT THE AIPRORT WAITING FOR ANOTHER CAR. ALSO, THE FUEL WAS ZERO. MY HEART WAS POUNDING BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW IF THERE WAS ENOUGH FUEL TO GET ME TO THE PETROL STATION WITHOUT BREAKING DOWN. DRIVUS SHOULD CHANGE THE POLICY TO FULL TANK FUEL AND RETURN FULL TANK FUEL BY CUSTOMERS, INSTAED OF EMPTY TO EMPTY !! WE HAD W WNDERFUL TRIP EXPLORING DIFFERENT VILLAGES AND CITIES THROUGHOUT MOROCCO. WE WILL CHERISH THESE MEMORIES FOREVER. MOROCCO IS THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, AND I HAVE TRAVELLED EXTENSIVELY TO KNOW THIS.
