Unprofessional customer service from DiscoverCars

I have been a loyal user of DiscoverCars for more than four years and have recommended their platform to friends and family.

Unfortunately, my recent interaction with their customer support team (Stanislav and Steve) was very disappointing.

When I contacted support regarding a cancellation and booking credit request, the issue was not properly investigated. Instead, the responses I received were dismissive and included assumptions about actions I supposedly took.

One response even suggested that I must have requested a refund myself or that someone else had access to my devices. This is completely untrue and not an appropriate assumption to make without evidence.

When I asked for clarification, I was told that the case would not be escalated further and received the following response:

“I’m afraid I can’t explain the matter any more concisely. I look forward to yet another reply.” - Steve

This type of communication from customer service is extremely disappointing.

To be clear, I am not seeking compensation. What I expected was professional handling of the situation and respectful communication.

After years of using DiscoverCars, this experience has unfortunately left me very disappointed.

Hi Hanekom,  

I’m truly sorry that your recent interaction with our support team left you feeling dismissed and not taken seriously. Especially after you’ve trusted DiscoverCars.com for years and recommended us to others, this is not the standard of professionalism or respect we want anyone to experience.

DiscoverCars.com is a car rental price comparison platform, and while we don’t operate the rental desks ourselves, we do have a responsibility to investigate support cases properly and communicate clearly and respectfully.

We’d like to review the full conversation and the booking history to understand exactly what happened, confirm what actions were taken on the booking (and when), and address the communication quality internally. Please email us at ******* with your booking number and link to this review, and we’ll take a fresh look at the case.

I’m sorry again that this experience has damaged your trust in us, and thank you for sharing your experience with us.  

Regards, 
Eva Smith
