My experience was awesome!!!! Thank you would totally recommend this company to others. Just would suggest to put the local phone number on the webpage somewhere there is an address no phone number that I could see. I received the phone number in the confirmation email afterwards.
Renter Review
Our experience with Discount Car Rental was superb! A friendly representative met us at the airport, even though our plane was late, and he was actually working past the company\'s office hours. The car performed well and was an excellent value! Thank you for such impressive and helpful service!
