A great site to compare rental options
Discover Cars is an excellent resource. You can view all of the options that suits your needs for your next car rental. I quickly found that Avis would be the best company for me to book through. The best thing about Discover Cars is how they rate the leasing process. You can see what the prices are to rent a car but you also see all of the incidentals. That’s very important. Renting a vehicle in another country can be tricky. If you don’t know all of the small details. Discover Cars lets you quickly compare those details and what is most important to you.

Excellent service
Good clear info on picking up the car in Seville. Unfortunately, someone swiped our wing mirror in a car park and we had to make a claim. Approved by Discover Cars in less than 3 hours - remarkable service from Mandy S. Claims process generally easy to follow. Would not hesitate to use again.
