Hyundai Grand i10
3/20/22

Pros: Quick, easy, hassle free

12/28/21

Pros: Adobe tried their hardest to fix the problem that they said was caused by discover. Dropping off the car was much easier than the pick up.

Cons: Lost reservation, two hours of dealing with a problem that should have been compensated for the customer better. Per discover it was Adobe’s fault for booking the reservation at a different location and per Adobe it was discovers fault for moving the location without notifying the customer.

United States of America (USA)

5/8/21

Pros: Overall great experience. Costa Rica has certain insurance requirements for car rentals but booking through discover cars, the minimum was already included in the price (although, not required, but I ended up getting full coverage through Adobe in country just for peace of mind. The roads aren’t the best down there) Car was fairly new and clean. The employees are bilingual (Spanish/English). The shuttle service to the airport was quick. Again, overall great experience.
