Discovercars worked hard and delivered on their promise to get my refund back
Discovercars provided me with excellent customer support when the Dollar rent a car desk in Hawaii did not honor the prepaid in full rental agreement with DiscoverCars. I worked with Alexander from Discovercars . He was diligent in working to get my full refund since Dollar rent a car made me paid for the car rental even after showing them proof with my email that I already paid in full to Discovercars.com. Never give up and Discovercars worked hard to get my money back , as I would have been paying twice for the same car rental. Great customer service.
