I have used DiscoverCars for many years…
I have used DiscoverCars for many years now here in Europe while traveling with my family. I have never had any issues and find that the pricing and terms are very competitive even compared to the rental car agencies own websites.

Everything was as expected
A very easy transaction, I sent my details the night before and everything was ready for pickup the next day. No hidden terms and conditions in the rental, all went smooth and the return was as smooth as the pickup, a Quick Look at the car’s state and they even suggested we stay in the car and they deliver us to the airport in the same car.

Max at Discover Cars was brilliant
Max at Discover Cars was brilliant and managed to sort out our problem with One Switch Rentals in Orlando, Florida who tried to charge us $150 some eight months after the rental period. Great service placing the customer first and would highly recommend - just be wary of some "off airport" rental deals.
