ROUTES CAR RENTAL REVIEWS IN UNITED STATES

It was fun to drive this car!

Car pick up was problematic: Firstly, it wasn't at the airport with the other car rental companies which meant it took much longer to get on the road. Secondly, the person dealing with the booking had no idea about my booking, despite me giving the reservation copy to her which she said she didn't need...a booking which I had made 5 months earlier, and she tried to give me a Jeep when I had booked a Nissan Rogue or equivalent. I refused the Jeep and then her colleague said, "Oh we just had a Rogue come in"...magically. This person was also quite rude. Additionally, the car tires were low and within an hour the warning light came on. This is unacceptable since you have to pay for air refills in the States. However, the person handling the return was excellent and efficient and friendly.

I rented a Dodge Grand Caravan, and they told me they did not have one. That made a problem with 4 adults, 4 golf travel bags, and 4 large suitcases for an 18 day trip. The Dodge Durango was not an even swap, we were squashed the entire time. They did give me the 2nd driver free of charge per my request to them for the obvious inconvenience. I would have appreciated a heads up before arrival so we could make other arrangements and not find out on arriving at 9:30 pm.... The airport shuttle to the Car rental place went smooth, but the Shuttle the rental car center to routes was over an hour wait... there was a young family waiting next to us and with their little kids and the late hour, this was horrible. especially when it is only an eight minute drive from the airport itself!! I could tell this was going to be the same problem when I returned the vehicle, so I just got an Uber and avoided the whole aggravation. Also on return of vehicle, there wasn't any signage on procedure, and it was very different then any other rental care company I have ever used. The price was great, the desk staff were very professional to deal with even with the inconvenience of downgrading the vehicle we needed, but the shuttle service set up is HORRIBLE and needs attention!!

All was good.

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.

This is the second time I’ve booked at this location and twice they did t have the car I reserved and paid for. The counter representative was no help.

The shuttle pick-up location is slightly different from what is stated in the print out. They print out says 'Door 3' when it should be 'Station/Pillar 3'. Otherwise everything was awesome!

Slow going at the desk

Rental fee is way cheaper than others, but car condition is as good as others or better. Accessing pickup location from the airport is a bit tricky. You need to take airport shuttle to Rental hub, and then call Routes office for another shuttle to the pickup location. It takes easily over 30 min. It is still worth taking time for pickup because the deal is so good. Also direct shuttle service from the dropoff location to the airport is provided after returning a car.

The rental company staff were very nice.

Everyone was happy and helpful especially when we had to return the car after a person vandalized 12 cars along with ours in the Hotel parking lot

No no no Not doing at again Terrible experience I had to pick up árbol 8 and when I called they close at 8

I was very pleasantly surprised with Routes. After reading some of the reviews, I confess having had some concerns but I found the whole process to be a very good and easy one. My checkout clerk did an exceptional job and was overbearing with requirements like I had expected. The check-in process was also very easy. The only challenge is that two rental shuttles are necessary to get there- but I was not in a hurry, so this was not a problem.

Easyrent cars found me a great deal in a market that was very expensive otherwise. It almost seemed like the deal was too good to be true ($200 less than the nearest competitor) yet it was very true with no surprises. Glad to have used them and will do so again in the future.

Far too pushy on extras such as liability cover

Routes did not have the vehicle I ordered. I was forced to take a smaller vehicle than my needs required. I got a very inexperienced counter person who was receiving no help from the other staff. It took a lot longer than It should have. Parking lot was very packed with cars. No room in the lot.

The car that I reserved and called to confirm about was not available. I got a nicely equipped Nissan Rogue, but what I really needed was the fuel efficiency and convenience of a sedan.

Nothing to change. The app was easy to use. Due to a flight delay, I had to use customer service and they were very very helpful.

Nope, very rude staff,took forever.Try to rip you off and lied to you about existing damage to the car.Will never rent from routes again and tell family and friends, never rent because they are cheaters.

staff was slow

From the time my family entered the Routes building until I was able to drive away in my rental. It was close to 2 hours. The customer service was awful. It was like renting from the DMV. Pay the few extra dollars and rent from a better agency. I would never recommend them.

Staff was courteous

Car was car wash cleaned but lots of bugs still on vehicle

We’ve rented from Routes before with no issues, but this trip we had several. The office appeared to be busy and understaffed. The women’s restroom was out of order the entire 2 weeks we had the cars. The first car wasn’t clean and the check engine light was on. The window washer fluid was empty and upon refilling, emptied out immediately. We exchanged the vehicle and the new one was clean but had an annoying loud rattle coming from the dash that we couldn’t quiet. Shuttle was quick and easy.

Smooth process, no issues!
