Pros: The staff at the rental sites were helpful, patient, and efficient. They helped to overcome some of the difficulties posed by RentalPlus, such as making us walk to an arbitrary point to get a van.

Cons: RentalPlus is an extremely small operation compared to major car rental agencies, so their selection is limited. We contracted for an economy-size automatic, but when we arrived the only automatic they had was a large SUV. They gave it to us fot the same price (and offered us standard transmission, which we didn't feel comfortable with). Unfortunately, an SUV is very hard to maneuver, both in the city and on narrow, winding rural roads. We had many difficulties on crowded streets. I blame the s

10/7/24

Pros: There was no one to pick us up at the Venice airport. We had to call and they told us to meet them somewhere other than the rental agreement said. It took over 30 minutes for them to arrive and another 30 minutes to get to the office. Once there the process took forever because the internet kept going out as the agent was trying to help us. There was another customer before me. I would estimate the time from calling to be picked up to me leaving with the car at over 2 hours ridiculous!

Cons: Also the car the gave me had just been turned in. It saw it dropped off at the facility (which looked like and old airplane hanger or war barracks) while I was waiting. The agent wiped down the driver-side door, checked the gas level and handed me the keys. The drop=off in Bologna was little better. There are no signs for the RentalPlus area, just signage above the handful of spots they have. I had to drive around the garage a few times before we finally spotted them.

9/20/24

Pros: The drop-off in Florence worked fine. We ended up with a nice car, but it was only because the one employee took pity on us when his boss (who refused to even give his name on the phone) wanted to leave us (two females, a mother and daughter) stranded very far from the airport at night in a country where we didn’t speak the language or know how to get around.

Cons: The Venice office felt extremely fly-by-night, unsafe, and was easily the worst rental car experience I’ve ever had. Also, the directions of where to meet the shuttle are wildly wrong. This is not really an airport rental car office. (Another customer told us they used to pick up at the water tower right outside arrivals, but the airport authorities made them stop, so now you have to walk all the way to the edge of the airport property.)

9/16/24

Pros: They did actually rent us a mostly functional car although we had trouble with every step of the process.

Cons: They are impossible to find and the directions they gave to get the shuttle from the airport were very hard to follow. The shuttle itself had no business markings. The car we got had a problem and they failed to help us with it. The time to get between the rental location and the airport is way too long.

9/11/24

Pros: Rental paper work is quick and easy for the pick up and drop off.

Cons: The airport shuttle pickup location was wrong and you have to call for the right location. A little far from the airport, but it's okay. The rental office doesn't have restroom for customers.

Pros: Good value for money, easy to boom and high quality car for the price.

Pros: Luna in the Venice office is an absolute gem. Because of her, I award the service 5 stars. She is so accommodating and is doing about 3 jobs herself. She is definitely not getting paid enough for what she does!

Cons: The pick up from the airport could have gone smoother.

Pros: Didn't get the car as the rental company closes at 8:00PM. But it agreed to refund money to Discovercars.com, which refused to refund to me

8/16/24

Pros: Pickup time was unacceptable. Once we arrived at the station the service was good. Being able to drop the car at another location (Milan) was helpful. The staff in the Milan location were extremely efficient and our shuttle came within 8 minutes.

Cons: Our family was left standing outside in full sun at the airport, for an hour. We called several times to let the office know we were still there with no shuttle pickup. Finally an Italian Gentleman who was also waiting, called angry, and a shuttle came in 15 mins. This is unacceptable customer service. No customer should be told pickup will be in 13 minutes and left outside on pavement for a full hour. We would have waited indoors had we not been told (repeatedly) that a car was already enroute.

8/15/24

Pros: The car, and ease of pick up and drop off.

Cons: The confusion (ot.lack of clarity) over shuttle pick up off place, time of pick up (needed to call, which wasn't clear) , who was picking us up - licence plate, make model of the shuttle would have been helpful - shuttle drop off was great.

8/13/24

Pros: The first person gave us our car promptly and because the car was so dirty they exchanged it for a cleaner car. The second car we rented in Venice was accidented. Everything was a mess inside the car including the tow equipment that was left in the back everywhere after they transported the car there

Cons: The first car we rented from Rome broke down on the Amalfi coast and left us there. We had to get someone to help us. Thank God the problem was minor and we could have got back. Afterwards the car broke down again when we were next to my aunt's house and the car started going on reverse when we're just putting in Drive and would go into Drive mode when we put into reverse it was a real The second car which I have on video was shaking. It was accidented and it was dirty and they tried to pass th Thank goodness I had put everything on video to prove my way I hope I get compensated for all the trouble this company has given

Cons: The car itself was actually fine, the service was non- existant. The shuttle service was totally unreliable, we had to take a taxi to the office. The agents were very rude, understaffed and overworked. Net net took over 2h from airport to pick up the car.

7/31/24

Pros: Affordably priced

Cons: It is located a few km away from the airport and requires them to pick you up via a shuttle that does not run regularly - and requires you calling their Italian number. They did not pick up the phone for an hour and kept me waiting at the airport in that time.

7/30/24

Pros: It was quick to pick it up/drop it off and it was probably the only rental agency that would allow the debit card

7/22/24

Pros: We did get an upgrade since they were out of our reserves car size.

Cons: They didn’t speak English well enough to communicate. I never received a receipt via email like they said I would. I was overcharged and they refused to accept my insurance. They also had the incorrect return address which caused me to spend over an hour trying to find the location to return the car. Horrible customer service and experience.

United Kingdom

7/18/24

Pros: It was the cheapest.

France

7/8/24

Pros: Overall very good

Cons: The staff at the Rental Pickup location in Venice Airport were not at all friendly and we had about a 45 minute wait for the shuttle bus despite many phone calls to them but in Rome Airport they were great!

Canada

7/4/24

Pros: The two agents I dealt with at the location where very good.

Cons: All of the information provided to me by discovery cars was incorrect. I called Rental Plus on June 29th to confirm their address and to let them know when we would be returning their car and needed a shuttle to the airport. The gentleman I spoke to was absolutely rude to me and my sister. We will never use Rental Plus or Discovery cars again

Pros: Easy drop off

Cons: The car exterior was very dirty; the car had been previously damaged, and no alternative car was available; the Venice airport “shuttle” was very unorganized - pick up location was not clear, driver was late to pick up, capacity of the van was limited to 5 people, so we opted to take an Uber instead

6/20/24

Pros: It was a new car cheap rental with no cross border fees

Cons: The location was in the middle of nowhere, the rental agent looked about 14 years old and really struggled with the administration taking a long time to issue the car and paperwork. The car was dirty. I think it was their first day in the job!!!

United Kingdom

6/10/24

Pros: Absolutely disgusting service, I do not recommend anyone go with this service. The rental service which we paid to hire a car were absolutely disgusting the way they treat me and my wife, we did not end up even getting the car even though we paid for it. I have heard nothing about a refund either even though I have emailed with a complaint and claim.

Cons: The customer service was disgraceful, the man who was dealing with us was extremely rude and pretended to not speak English, we did not even get a hire car even though we paid for it, and he was happy to leave us stranded.

Pros: Price seemed good at first. The car was brand new.

Cons: The two staff there when I arrived were very difficult. The young lady had no interest in being there . The young man kept trying to get me to sign agreements on the iPads and acted like it was ridiculous for me to,ask what I was signing . I ordered a car to hold three lugggages amd the juke I was given definitely could not so I was up charged . When I dropped the car off I was told Id get a 28 euro cleaning charge for what would be a 15 min vacuum after a 10day rental. See my google review

Cons: In Venice shuttle bus did not arrive on my arrival and I had to take a taxi. On my return rental office was closed at 9am even it should be open 8am - 8pm and nobody was around to receive the car and provide transfer to the airport. Did not know how to get to the airport after half an hour I stopped the taxi on the road and could manage to the airport. It was very stressful experience . Never rent a car from this provider

2/5/24

Pros: Rentalplus was the best car renting experience we’ve ever had. We’ve rented with diverse other companies in multiple countries and this was the best experience by far. There was no pressure to buy insurance since we had it with our credit card, no hidden fees, the price we saw online was the price we paid at pickup. The customer service reps were genuinely friendly.

Cons: The only down side was trying to find the pick up location at Venice Airport. There could be signs to guide the consumer to make this process easier.

Pros: very friendly and efficient.

Cons: Shame the car had so many dings but that's the fault of the customers I photoed the damage before accepting the car. Make sure you take out excess protection in this country: I didn't see a car without some sort of minor panel damage.

Pros: Professional

Cons: I have add to my rental extra insurance from the supplier (protect the exterior for unexpected damages) for extra safety, no worries at the end.

12/31/23

Pros: The customer service is amazing. The price of the rental cars is amazing. The staff dropped me off to the airport and picked me up as per email confirmation of hiring the vehicle. You must read the entire rental document. They will collect you from the airport.

Cons: I only read the section about getting the free bus and caught the public bus, didn’t pay for a ticket because I didn’t read the entire document (it’s not the public bus), and then paid a €60 fine just to do a round trip of Venice and end back at the airport to which I phoned them and they were amazing. There was nothing I disliked. Best decision ever to rent though discover cars.

12/24/23

Pros: I don’t like the service because they don’t pick up me at the time I reserved

Cons: They should deliver the car at the airport at the time that I reserved and they should have pick up /drop off car at the airport.

11/24/23

Pros: The representative was efficient and friendly making the pick-up process easy and straightforward. The drop-off was equally easy and stress free. The car that we were given is bigger than we expected and with very good petrol consumption, which was a bonus. I would definitely use RentalPlus again. It helped that my friend is Italian and did all the communication.

10/23/23

Pros: Price and reliability.

Cons: I didn't like that you have to call them to pick you up from the airport - we didn't have a European phone plan so that call cost me too much. They should enable WhatsApp communication for that purpose.

10/23/23

Pros: Simone nos atendió de 10. Muy profesional, amable, nos recogió en 5 minutos en el aeropuerto, check in y check out rapidísimo y sin presiones para coger sus seguros. El coche super nuevo, super limpio y perfecto. Sin dudar volveré a alquilar con ellos. Todo un acierto. Y genial de precio. Y pasar a Eslovenia no tiene cargos extras y eso es maravilloso.

Cons: En el voucher no está bien explicado cómo recoger el coche. Hay que llamarles una vez que tienes las maletas y te recogen bajo la torre del agua. Pero en el bono pone que vayas a la torre del agua y cojas un bus y así no es. Discover cars debe poner eso bien porque da lugar a error

10/19/23

Pros: Everyone was friendly and easy. There were no problems. The car was ready when we arrived and dropping it off was so fast.

Cons: The directions on what to do when arriving to the airport to get the shuttle could have been a little clearer. We figured out that we had to call to receive pick up but the directions on that were unclear. That was the only minor issue.

10/18/23

Pros: The staff was great. Please keep in mind that there is a lot of information that needs to be collected when renting a car. It’s going to take time. Please have patience. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. They don’t deserve rude behavior!

Cons: I wish there was a key drop for after hours returns. Having to wait until opening to return our car was stressful when we had to get to our train on time. Otherwise it was an overall excellent experience!

10/17/23

Pros: No line up at rental.

Cons: Could not find the rental drop location at the train station. A photo would have been good to help locate where the agent is at the train station in Padua. Also-we should have been told that we can drop the car directly at the garage and leave the key inside without having to find the agent, this was a problem.

10/11/23

Pros: Cost was reasonable

Cons: Unclear instructions on locating the rental car area, we wasted much money and time making calls to figure out where & how to get picked up. Car was low/almost empty on AdBlue just one day into our rental and we had to waste time figuring out what in the world AdBlue is, and where to buy it. Service was slow and unfriendly

Canada
Toyota Yaris
10/11/23

Pros: Price Friendliness

Cons: Information about picking up the car was inaccurate. The telephone number of the agency to pick up the car was wrong. So, I wasted almost 1.5 hours to reach out to the agency. And you stated the instruction partly wrong. You just said, I can wait the shuttle at the meeting point. But there was no regular shuttle that I can just go and wait at the meeting point, I had to call the agency for the shuttle. But you just said, "You can call". It should be stated "You should call."

9/13/23

Pros: We did get some credit back for lost days but not all the credits we asked for.

Cons: Took too long to get picked up from airport. We got a car that clearly should have had maintenance performed on it prior to giving to a customer. We asked for credit for the taxi from the hotel to the garage where the car had to be fixed and we did not get reimbursed because the receipt was not good enough for them despite having a phone number and a name on it.

Cons: Shuttle from airport is at the time of your car rental. So if you get in early or late just call em up. No big deal but would have been good to have that added to the pick up instructions.

Pros: Very friendly and helpful staff members behind the desk, didn't try to upsell or panic us into purchasing extras.

Cons: Says shuttle bus from airport but we waited for 30 mins, none came and noone knew where to find them, couldn't get through by phone so had to pay for a taxi as it was around a 25min walk. Car wasn't super clean, dust and stains in spots, "air-con" worked but was not good at all.

8/21/23

Pros: Good pick up and drop off services. Friendly staff when face to face.

Cons: Poor assistance services. Assistance line only offered tow trucks, one day before our wedding. This left us to change worn and damaged tires ourselves, at our own cost. The only other solution offered by RentalPlus was to catch a train to Florence or Rome for a substitute car.

8/13/23

Cons: after a day the car issued a warning light that the oil needs to be changed. we didn't know what to do with this, called the desk, they didnt know what to do, call the car service and they said that they only come to take the car to repeair if needed. we filled the car with 50 EURU worth of oil, but it didn't effect the problem, the light kept on beeping the entire 2 weeks. we also had to but water for the car engine, because it was dry after a day.

8/7/23

Cons: Shortly after I picked up the car I had a low tire warning. I turned around and went back to RentalPlus. They didn't have the ability to add air to a tire so I had to switch out the rental car. This took too much time and felt like an "excessive" solution to just some air in a tire. It took too much time.

Cons: Nothing. Terrible rental car company.

Pros: Speed to return car

Cons: Meant to be shuttle bus... non appeared. Phoned the "for further info" no and was collected. Took another 1.5 hours before left with car. Car given was dirty, empty of fuel and did not fit 3 suitcases. NOT WHAT ORDERED. Promised discount for dirty car but brushed off when returned. Still not got deposit back yet. NOT happy with their service or efficency. We heard it many times that the Jeep was not our car... but we ended up with it. Very stressful and not the smooth start hoped for.

United Kingdom
Fiat Panda
8/1/23

Cons: From the start, our experience turned sour. The airport pick-up was delayed for over an hour due to unresponsive phone lines. On the way back, the car wouldn't start, and the roadside assistance number didn't work. A helpful neighbor jumpstarted the car, but at the rental office, we waited over an hour with unfriendly staff, making us rush to catch our flight. Despite explaining the car's issues, we were still charged for petrol. The whole ordeal left us feeling frustrated and dissatisfied, with

Fiat Panda
6/15/23

Pros: I liked the employees, all spoke good English and were friendly throughout. They found us a suitable car when the one we had been given initially was not suitable, nor what we paid for.

Cons: We had paid for a large vehicle (category B) to ensure we had sufficient space to fit bikes in the back of the car. Upon arrival we were given a Fiat 500 (Category A).. definitely not suitable to fit 2 bikes in the back! We were told that there is no difference between category A and B.. if that is the case then why would anyone pay for category B? There is too few employees to manage the demand they have, so delays are highly likely. Pick-up process is very in-formal and unclear (no signs).
