First car had a large crack in windshield and back bumper was damaged. Scratches all over car.

I will be writing a formal complaint to you with regards to the customer desk of routes service in Orlando.However, after a long flight from the UK we were transferred to the routes centre by a shuttle. No problem, great service nice driver. After waiting for 30 minutes we were served by the most rude obnoxious man I have ever met. Tried to force sell us additions such as break down cover, toll passes and additional insurance. We refused all even though he had pre printed all in the form for us ready to sign! We explained in detail that we had already taken out additional insurance cover in the uk prior to our rental to cover the shortfall in basic cover provided. The man asked to see this certificate and even had the gall to continually say to us we must cancel it and take out the cover he could offer. Disgusting behaviour which left myself and my wife feel quite threatened. After reprinting the form not to include the items stated he proceeded to take us to the car. No explanation of features functions or refuelling procedure. A Brief walk around the car (in the dark) where I had to point out a scratch on the door and that was it!! He Didn’t even notify me of mileage or discuss existing level of fuel left in the tank to start with. The form I took away stated full even though it was only under a quarter of a tank full.... Another item to note, They also wanted full payment from us again even though we had already paid upfront all costs in January? we had to show evidence of this, (luckily we had bought the receipt you issued To us on purchase prepaid in the uk. Not a good start to our holiday which left us quite angry and distressed for a few days. We just had the nagging feeling we were being scammed by the man and we’re going to be hit with additional charges. This was added to after he blatantly watched me enter my credit card pin into the machine to pay the pending deposit. Disgusting.

Wish they had a place at airport.

Time to pick up car was almost 1.5 hrs worst than I've ever experienced. The lady who assisted was very helpful and courteous. The cars were great condition and priced reasonable. The drop off service was great no wait time.

I would not recommend using them. The location was initially unable to provide me with the car I requested (economy car) and instead gave me a jeep wrangler. The vehicle was unsafe to drive and could have resulted in a serious accident as a bolt for the rear control arm/axel was missing and I was informed of this by a stranger since I do not know much about the jeep. Routes did provide me with an alternative vehicle that also seemed to have weird sounds when driving. Additionally, the rate for prepaid tolls does not match the description on their policies (4.99/day + usage) and is significantly higher (11.99/day), resulting in a much higher cost than anticipated. Overall, the staff was nice but vehicles are either worn out or unsafe and the false rate advertised on their website felt like a bait and switch strategy.

Like: Service staff was great, car upgrade was good, thank god for GPS for finding our way to and from the office location, shuttle driver back to the airport was outstanding
Dislike: confusion on airport pickup, no indication that we had to call for a shuttle. could use more staff at the desk to expedite pickup and dropoff
