Routes staff lied about pickup time and why it took so long, 1hr after flight arrived in 90 dry heat. Car was on E and was supposed to be full. Under staffed and most didn’t know what to do. Drop off was not available at flight time so had to drop off night b4 and Uber back to hotel and then to airport next day. Extra $90
Routes is rather remote from the airport, apart from the rental center where other vendors are. They are a bare bones operation and the first rental company I've encountered that required my insurance policy number in order to rent the car. Service at the counter was incredibly substandard compared to competitors.
Fortunately, the car was in ok condition and I didn't run into any problems.
“The staff was amazing and I would by all means recommend them to others.”
About Routes:8.7/10
I accepted the offer of a jeep and didn't realize how rough the suspension was. No fault of the staff, maybe a friendly warning would have been helpful.
Did not have any Van's available upgraded dodge Durango that was returned while waiting did not have time for them to clean. Needed more help van drivers Julio and Concetta friendly overall ok would have preferred airport pickup couldn't beat price. All things considered not bad
“Amazing price, car was fine, process was a bit confusing.”

Either their phones were malfunctioning or staff weren't answering, but I waited 45 minutes to be picked up at the airport. Not a good start. Once at their site, things were ok. Car fine. Staff maybe assumed I knew the "ropes" more than I did. I had to ask questions. It all worked. Price was amazing.

No problems booking. I was a bit confused how Easyrentcars and the actual rental company were connected.
“This is the absolute worst experience I've ever had renting a car ... period.”
About Routes:4.7/10
I will never use Routes ever again ... absolutely the most unorganized experience I've ever seen with a rental care company. And I've even rented with a mom-pop shop in Hawaii.
My whole experience with the Orlando routes office was poor all around .
The only good part about the experience was the driver who picked me up from the airport was very nice
A fee for driving the car out of the state was unexpected and unnecessary, insurance doesn’t stop at state lines. This fee was not disclosed in the booking process.
The rent a car location was outside of the airport location. Thanks for sending me shuttle to the location. The staff interaction was something that I never expected or experienced. I paid for a Corolla or similar. I was told that I came late so that car was not available. I was offered a pick up truck. My wife and and I were at our wit’s end. After a lengthy plead with the staff, I was given a Kia. Drop off was also difficult. I was to drop off the car at 5 am to catch my flight to New York. There was nobody at the drop off location. I called a number that was posted at the door. I was informed that he would be coming at 6 am. My wife and I waited and finally at 6:15 someone came and received the drop off. With this experience, i would abstain from renting a car from Routes.
About QEEQ:10.0/10
I am satisfied with the Easyrentcars in general. I would appreciate if information about Routes is given clearly.
When we arrived at counter to pick up car, all the staff disappeared into back office. After about 20 minutes standing around waiting I decided to knock on office door to find an employee. About 10 minutes later a staff member emerged from the back and rudely stated to me "I was using the bathroom, is that ok?" By this time, we had been travelling with small children all day and the last thing we needed was a bunch of attitude. Finally got the car after about an hour (they said they had to clean the car before we took it, which we said we didn't need). Upon returning the car, we were told we'd be charged $250 for clean the little bit of sand on the rugs. I sat in the parking lot shaking the floor mats out. Even the shuttle driver said he'd never heard of such a thing and would tell the manager. Very unprofessional. Very rude. Apathetic employees. Takes way too long.
Car had been in prior accident and didn't handle perfectly on curves but was fine overall. 2-shuttle process to get to pick up location. Address given for drop off did not match up with Google maps, so I'm glad we weren't in a hurry to make our flight. Customer service was very good. Office and bathroom were dirty. Nevertheless a very good value for the price.
REAL EXPERIENCE!!
AIRPORT AND SHUTTLE:
I arrived at Orlando Airport and walked about 10 minutes to the shuttle stop. I waited at the shuttle stop for around 15 minutes, the shuttle arrived. The ride was around 20-25 minutes as the shuttle visited both terminals on the way to the place.
ROUTES OFFICE:
When arrived at Routes, there were around 15 people in the room. I signed a waiting list so I was now in queue to collect my pre-booked car. They had Netflix on a TV (but the screen was frozen) and a few chairs, but they were all occupied. They had a water cooler but it was empty, so I stood by the door. After around 30 minutes, somebody called my name and I went to the counter.
CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE:
Nobody was wearing name tags, but a lady helped me and the first thing she said was: "Which insurance would you like to buy?"... Option 1. 21.95 per day or Option 2: 24.95 a day. The difference was the deductible. I told them I don't want to purchase insurance, I had my own. So they asked me for insurance proof, however, my insurance ID card was not enough. They wanted the full form which listed all the figures and totals lol. After calling my company 3 times and spending around 40 mintues on the phone, I finally got the paperwork emailed over. I saw many people giving up and paying them $21.95 per day, I suppose this is how they get their money!
CHARGES:
Deposit they charged to my card was $350 based on a $50 rental.
They charge 11.95 per day for SunPass. If you run a cashless toll without it, their admin fee is $100 per toll.
They do not rent to young drivers under any circumstances.
Insurance Option 1. 21.95 per day or Option 2: 24.95 a day
I made a video of the entire experience for YouTube. Check that out soon! :)
“I rented a Toyota Corolla and I got instead a much bigger and better car, so perfect”
About Routes:7.3/10
They did not have record of the insurance we had already booked with easyrentcars, and they tried to make us purchase it again. Besides, they offered us a device to pay for tolls but they were unclear with the price until we were about to pay.
