|Aug 2025I showed up at the counter and was denied the rental because my licence said GDL even though I am out of the program. I under stand that it’s not in the control of the counter Agent however a pop up or notice while renting the card would be extremely helpful especially hen you are being denied a rental when you are already on vacation and have no other arrangements. Absolutely terrible!

|Aug 2024Great vehicle and condition. Issue arose when I advised, a week before the conclusion of the contract, that I would like to change the drop off point to a town further north. The person behind the desk indicated it would mean “changing the whole contract” and got the distinct impression he could not bothered so simply suggested I drop it off at the desired location and pay a penalty for unauthorised drop off… Seemed pretty inefficient and costly. People at the alternate centre were very good on receiving the vehicle but not the best experience overall.

|Jul 2025Actual scam. Force you to pay so many extra fees and advertise unlimited km, but that’s only if you’re from out of Provence. Location is inconvenient. Pick up was a nightmare and was an extra hour and a half wait. Ended up refusing the car and cut my losses. They were going to charge me over $130 a day for a car that was advertised as $40. I feared if these were the ridiculous prices up front there could only be more bs charges when I returned which is why I refused the car altogether. Avoid at all costs.
