About Routes: 5.0 /10

I had prepaid for a "Toyota Corolla or similar" vehicle at MCO for January 30, 2019. When I arrived at EasyRentCars MCO which had a large "Routes" sign outside, I was told that the only vehicle they had was a Jeep Rubicon. I asked if there was any alternative. The young woman staff member said "Yes, you have an alternative. You can leave and go back to the airport." Therefore I accepted the Jeep. On leaving the parking lot the vehicle made a terrible rumbling sound and the steering wheel shook. I returned and reported this to the same staff member. She said that this was due to the tires that were installed on this type of Jeep, and it was normal. When I reached my destination after 2.5 hours of freeway driving I saw that the front tires were almost bald. I therefore did not drive the car further. I called EasyRentCars at MCO and when I explained the situation they put me on hold and immediately hung up on me. When I called again I was put on hold for 15 minutes until I eventually hung up. I called the Customer Service number for Routes that I found though Google. "Kimmy" at Routes Ontario Customer Service was helpful and connected me to the manager "Kevin" (who I have previously been told was not in the office). He asked me to send photographs of the tires to him along with my phone number so he could contact me with a solution. Kevin did not call me. When I called again I was told that Kevin had left for the day. I was told that a replacement vehicle would be driven to my location in Jacksonville the next day. In the afternoon of the next day EasyRentCars delivered a new car to me. As the Rental Voucher states that the Car Supplier is Routes Car & Truck Rentals please help me!!

“2019 Nissan Rogue”

About Routes: 10.0 /10

Had a great experience with Routes car rental. Car exceeded my expectations and was clean and new. Pick up was a little slow but to be fair a shuttle full of customers arrived at the same time. Agent did not try to pressure or "scam" me into buying any extra insurance, toll pass or gas. Car return was super easy and fast. Shuttle to and from Routes was also fast and efficient. I would use this car rental co. again and would recommend it to anyone.

“Bait and Hound”

About Routes: 8.3 /10

Routes is not ready to rent cars to travelers through your website! Counter agent is more a sales person than a customer service agent; their focus is to force the up-sell of peripheral services for the vehicle (insurances, etc.) Routes operates a non-transparent pedatory process. The renter is stuck at their remote location with little or no choice but to buy the additonal coverages and services because renter is stuck and/or eager to leave the situation because the rental process is stretching well beyond 45 minutes. I have rented 100s of vehicles even using EasyRents many times. Routes is the worst that I have experienced around the world and will never select them in an offer by EasyRents again. I suggest that you drop thme from your vendor list for your US domestic travelers but especially your international travelers!

Good platform--I have rented through Easyrentcars on several previous occasions. I recommend vetting your vendor partners more rigorously. Routes is not a good partner. I plan to contact the Florida Better Business Bureau concerning my experience.
