Spain
Proton X50
11/25/24

Pros: Good price at Kruger airport

Cons: Nothing
Italy
Toyota Corolla Cross
8/31/24

Pros: Good communication after the rental ended regarding the drop-off confirmation and deposit refund process status

Cons: Time spent for pick-up. Not very clear breakdown of rental fees and deposits compared to what was in the DiscoverCars confirmation email
Australia
Proton X50
6/14/24

Pros: Their overall honesty and provision of a newish, quality vehicle leading to very pleasurable journey. Very helpful lady rep at drop-off.

Cons: The reps were very helpful at the pickup desk but didn't understand workings of vehicle. No mention was made of CarPlay (unnecessary GPS) and instruction about activation hybrid capability (fuel wasted as a consequence).
Australia
Proton X50
5/30/24

Cons: Wasted time filling paper forms with details that we had already done online
Australia
VW Kombi
5/21/24

Cons: First staff at Nelspruit branch were dismissive and unhelpful.
United Kingdom
Toyota Corolla Cross
1/18/24

Pros: Nothing

Cons: No car ready and I had to give many personal details about my family and other information before I was allowed to rent. It took over 30 minutes to check in then had to wait for the car. On return they took over 20 minutes to check the car. Then told me they did not trust me with filling up petrol so would go and check how much was needed and charge me. Shocking experience. If they do not refund me all the deposit money I will dispute the charge. Broken radio.
United States of America (USA)
Ford EcoSport
12/19/23

Pros: Responses were quick and effective.

Cons: The refueling charge when I had the gas attendant fill the car up and only drove about 10 km to return the vehicle but it got resolved quickly and I am pleased that the charge was reversed.
Australia
Toyota Quest
6/27/23

Pros: We liked the car but we’re not happy with First Car Hire

Cons: We feel cheated about the fuel charge when we had gone out of our way to return the car exactly as we had received it and with a full tank of fuel - for this reason we would not use First again
United States of America (USA)
VW Kombi
5/25/23

Cons: Even after filling up, they took the car to fill it up some more. We waited quite a while for this. We were barely on time to gate because of this.
Canada
Suzuki Celerio
3/24/23

Pros: Drop off was efficient

Cons: Cape Town pick up representative was weak at explaining the agreement
Canada
Ford Ecosport
11/9/22

Pros: The agents were friendly

Cons: Ohh man they give you a car with no working A/C where the average temperature is 27-30 degrees Celsius. They won’t do anything about it either. It’s easier to blame the customer then to accept fault.
Netherlands
Nissan Qashqai
10/17/22

Pros: - We could easily find them in the arrivals hall. - When the car broke down, the emergency number worked - we got to speak to someone

Cons: Booked a Nissan Qashqai (or simular), got a Haval Jolion, even less quality than basic - unreliable crap. First Rental should understand that the tenants will drive in the Kruger Park. It is simply disrespectful to customers to hand over such a car. Ours shorted out, in Kruger Park. We were allowed to exchange the car at a location five hours away (!). Fortunately, we were able to average the distance in the end. Unfortunately we got another cheap, shabby Chinese car.
