Fun in La Paz Mexico
Car was waiting for us. no hassle at pick up or drop off. Had car for 12 days added 2000 KM to it, returned it dusty and dirty and no hassles or extra cleaning fees. Roads outside lapaz (esp north to Loreta and beyond to Guerro Negre are filled with pot holes)

Everything is ok
The staff came to pick us up at the airport, they explained everything to us in English. When we brought the car back, they took us back to the airport, which is a 3 minute drive away.

Reliable service
Reliable service. They provided fully detailed information about the rental. My friend booked a car through this service and was not asked for a credit card when leaving a deposit. I assumed the same conditions would apply to me, so I purchased insurance from Discover Cars and opted for no coverage at the same rental agency since the Discover Cars option was cheaper. At the rental agency, I noticed that my booking was slightly different from my friend's, as I didn't have the option to leave a deposit using a Visa or MasterCard debit card, while he did. It seems something has changed. I had to buy full coverage at the rental agency to rent a car without a credit card. Right before taking the car, I requested the cancellation of the full coverage I bought through Discover Cars. After a short discussion, the support specialist Atena accepted my refund request, and I received the money within minutes. Pay attention to the conditions under which you make the booking—Discover Cars describes everything really well.
