Slovenia
Toyota Aygo
7/24/25

Pros: Quick and friendly staff, clean car
United Kingdom
Fiat 500
3/2/25

Pros: Staff were pleasant abs helpfull

Cons: Get google maps updated to the correct GPS coordinates
Switzerland
Mitsubishi Space Star
1/3/25

Pros: They only blocked the deposit, didn't transfer it. Drop-off was very quick, staff very friendly.

Cons: Fuel rule: should always be full-to-full, anything else sucks. Pick-up: check/report damage together with client, else smells fishy. Pick-up: online check-in was useless as we had to do the same again, which is double waste of time.
Denmark
Peugeot 2008
12/9/24

Pros: They drove us back to the hotel, good service provided.

Cons: The forgot to vaccumclean the car before delivery, but it was a minor detail.
United Kingdom
Fiat Panda
6/21/24

Pros: Awful

Cons: Everything
United States of America (USA)
Renault Clio
4/4/24

Pros: The size of the car was accurate to what DiscoverCars said we were going to get. The car was in good condition. I liked that the mileage was unlimited and the drop-off after we were serviced, was quick. The shuttle to the airport was also quick and appreciated. The agent at the Funchal office spoke good English so the communication was easy.

Cons: The offices should have more agents at the desk. When picking up the wait wasn't too bad because we were the only ones there, but when dropping off we had to wait for a couple to finish up their whole process before we got to ours
Switzerland
Citroën C3
1/9/24

Pros: zu wenig PS für die Insel
United Kingdom
Fiat 500
1/4/24

Pros: Actually surprised how pleasant the experience was considering the google reviews. I thought I would be scammed for damage

Cons: I don’t think there was anything
Portugal
Fiat 500
11/24/23

Pros: Staff was friendly at pickup. Just be aware that they will scrutinize the car for any possible damage. I ended up getting the extra insurance from them $20E per day so not cheap. I think that is where they make there money as the car rental price was very cheap through Discovery Cars but I don't thinknthe actual car rental company makes much on it so they do push the extra coverage hard. If you don't get it be sure to get very good pictures of car as they try and get you on anything they can
Slovakia
Kia Picanto
9/7/23

Cons: No confirmation of car returning - no mail, no paper, 7 days after returning of car - deposit (1100 EUR) is still not returned
United States of America (USA)
Fiat Panda
7/31/23

Pros: Everything about the service was great. the car itself had very little power, but that isn't their fault. They don't build the cars

Cons: Everything about the service was great. the car itself had very little power, but that isn't their fault. They don't build the cars
Canada
Kia Picanto
7/25/23

Pros: Great recommendation for car
United Kingdom
Fiat Panda
6/20/23

Pros: Nothing - all they were interest in was selling their insurance and when we didn’t take it out, they were looking for any reasons to make a claim for damage

Cons: Total rip off. €175 charged for the most minor of scratches to the lower rear plastic bumper that is on “wear & tear”. Only reason this was done was because we didn’t take out their own insurance. Never use this company again, Apauling customer service.. see photo of damaged bumper below. We now have to try and claim the €175 back from the insurance we took out.
United Kingdom
Seat Ibiza
6/3/23

Pros: Went out of their way to pick us up and drop us off

Cons: Car was probably underpowered for steep roads but that was our mistake in selection
France
Renault Clio

Pros: Bon accueil

Cons: RAS
United Kingdom
Kia Picanto
5/24/23

Lithuania
Kia Picanto
5/8/23

Pros: Some consultants were very friendly and eager to help

Cons: Some consultants were rude, the car was not in good technical condition (we had problems with brake pads, the brakes did not work well) and we had to change a car the next day, therefore the plans for the day had to be changed. Some consultants were rude.
Lithuania
Citroën C3
4/24/23

Pros: Service was good

Cons: Location is a little bit too far from town center
Latvia
Fiat Panda
4/10/23

Pros: easy process, efficient, helpful team.

Cons: when I was booking the car, I checked specifically if debit card was accepted. When I arrived - it turned out that I can pay with debit card only if I take full insurance. It has to be more explicit at the point of booking. The team was very helpful and understanding and we found an amicable solution, but it does create additional stress for the customers.
United Kingdom
Kia Picanto
11/16/22

Pros: Luis was friendly enough as was the man to whom I returned it. Car not as specified and in serious need of a service.

Cons: Wrong car, poorly maintained, needed a service.

Belgium
Fiat 500
9/20/22

Pros: Very friendly personnel that even offered to drive us to our accommodation after returning the car. Moreover, they can easily be contacted via Whatsapp with a quick response time. Picking up and dropping off the car was easy and quick, the car and documentation were ready.

Cons: They don't take prepaid visa cards to pay the deposit, meaning that it is obligated to take a quite expensive premium insurance (afterwards we were quite happy with the premium insurance though given the difficult roads).
Portugal
Renault Clio
9/5/22

Pros: .

Cons: No alternatives for the credit card. I had a credit card number with my name, a card with the name of my wife, a debit card to pay the rental fee... but the only alternative they gave me was to pay a daily insurance of more than 50% the price of the rental!
United Kingdom
Fiat Punto
9/1/22

Pros: Very friendly staff

Cons: NA
Canada
Fiat Panda
7/11/22

Pros: The best from Louie
France
Fiat Panda
5/30/22

Cons: Forced me to buy insurance because I didn’t have a credit card. Wouldn’t accept deposit on a debit card. Absolute scam, ended up being more expensive than if I had booked with a proper agency.
Canada
Fiat 500
5/26/22

Pros: Fast and efficient

Cons: Nothing
Belgium
Fiat 500
5/22/22

Cons: CDW was more expensive compared to booked fee, at return they promissed to bring us back downtown but they did not, the car was different then the booked one and had not enough horsepower for the hills in Madeira but the worst was they accussed us incorrectly from damage to the car that we did not do! We had the full CDW and they said we did nog need to pay for it, but they should not have said we did damage, that was not the case!
