It took over and hour to get our vehicle and they only processed 2 people before us. Then, they told us to come back and return and give 90min just to return a vehicle. Does it always take this long? They seem to think so!!

It took over and hour to get vehicle. There were only 2 people ahead Each previous customer was frustrated as they were from overseas and were getting extra charges. Make sure when supporting Europacar or Ace there are no surprises Mine was a domestic rental I never complained, only politely asked at the end how long I should give for return, as it seemed quite slow. To my shock they told me I should give 90min to return a car! This seems to be standard slowness!

Won't be renting from this Discount location again...

Location was understaffed, disorganized, filthy (dirty floors with papers and pamphlets everywhere), smelly (toilet is in the lobby of the location and there was no air circulation whatsoever), lights were off, people were butting into line, reservation was incorrect, vehicle was unavailable, substitute vehicle was hard on gas (i.e., much more expensive for me), substitute vehicle was very dirty--"turned around" from previous renter without a cleaning. I will not rent from this location ever again (had an even worse experience the time before). While I waited the 30 minutes it took to rent the vehicle the only staff member on duty answered several phone calls from irate customers wanting to speak to the manager to complain about one thing or another. This place is a nightmare.

Too long a wait for everything - Vancouver

The Vancouver location is not well run. I had to wait 15 mins for an airport shuttle. During that time I saw 4 shuttles for enterprise. Then at the location I had to wait 45 mins to checkin to get my vehicle. They only had 2 people working with a huge line up. On the way back I again had I wait 15 mins for a shuttle back to the airport. 2 employees and 1 shuttle is not enough to provide proper customer service at the Vancouver location.

Staff were overwhelmed and didn't care

We were able to find the shuttle quite easily upon arrival at the airport. However, it's when we arrived at the office that I noticed how overwhelmed the staff were at all the people coming and going, picking up or returning their rentals. We were upgraded to a brand new SUV for free, but unlike other car rental places I've been to, the agent didn't show us the features of the car or do an inspection with us before handing us the keys and rushing back to the office. We drove from the office to a waterfront restaurant near the airport. When we were leaving, I put the car in reverse, saw that the backup camera was on and took my foot off the brake. To my shock, the car started rolling forward. I quickly put my foot back on the brake and parked the car. I tried this 3x and each time the car rolled forward, which was alarming because we were getting quite close to the water. Anyway, long story short, after numerous calls back and forth between the Discount office and roadside assistance, a tow truck arrived. The driver helped us get out of the spot but he recommended we take the car back to the dealership - this whole process was confusing for us both because we were told by the agent at Discount to call roadside assistance for any problems and roadside assistance told us that they don't take handle car rentals. The tow truck driver followed us back to the office, and we were given another car to drive. It wasn't until the night before we were going to return the car that I realized the agent had given us another person's receipt for the second car that we were given. This receipt had the previous renter's contact details and part of her credit card number. When my cousin told the agent about this upon returning the car, she said the agent didn't seem concerned about it. Another unrelated thing - when I was reserving the car online, I chose an 11 pm drop-off, which I later learned wasn't possible because the office closes at 10. Luckily I called the office a day before I was supposed to return the car to verify the return time and was told that I could return the car at 8 am the next day. Except this person didn't tell his colleagues because the agent my cousin talked to almost charged her a late return fee, which she was able to have waived when she told them about what the other agent said to me. It's like no one in this office knows what each person is doing and they're all doing their own thing. The car was great and it was the cheapest rate I could find, but I'm bothered about getting someone else's receipt. It makes me think if it could happen to her, it could also happen to me.
