Discovercars rental questions

[MinnieMO]

I’m looking at planning a trip and getting a rental car. I’ve come across a rental car site that in all my years of traveling I’ve never heard of and I’m hoping to get some reviews for you guys! Discover cars is the website, the prices just don’t compare to other companies but as a solo traveler this trip they would be really nice! For comparison rental companies direct is $500, Priceline $275, Discover Cars $85.
I appreciate the help! I don’t want to get caught in a scam.

There’s likely a reason why it’s so cheap.

If it sounds too good to be true...

It looks like it might be a company based out of the UK

I would be wary, it's not anything I've ever heard of. I always go through www.autoslash.com If anything goes wrong I know they'll make it right.

Autoslash is where I got the Priceline amount.

Take a look at the rental companies this site is referring you to. I just tried a sample booking in Orlando around my birthday. All of the really cheap (less than $170 for 3 days) were with companies I'd never heard of. All of these companies had ratings listed on the site of around 5 or 6 out of 10.

Their "Best Value" for a Ford Focus 3D was $348 for 3 days was with Thrifty, who they show as a rating of 8.3 out of 10.

I've arrived in the UK myself and wondered indeed if the car rental was a rip-off...

Beware of the small print, right?

I think some of the cheaper ones were not at MCO, you had to shuttle to the lot from MCO. So that is part of the reason for the price difference.
