Easy Peasy! This is our second time using Routes
Easy to book and great prices. This will be our 3rd time renting from Routes. Have always been satisfied with good care.
When you book online and issue receipt for total cost then try to sneak in up charges as "taxes which they are not ,that's pretty sneaky and not honest. Also when a person trys to cancel online and when u won't let them,that's sneaky,then when a person shows up at desk to pick up car ,that was booked online there was Noone in office who could cancel the reservation so credit card could be changed to match driver,also there was Noone in office who could explain why a deposit was needed ,when I the online booking it is not mentioned,and finally I suppose your going to try to charge a fee for cancelation, even though your unmentioned up charges caused this to happen. Right now the person who booked this is going to report it as fraud,because you failed to mention the upcharges,that are not taxes,license fee is not a tax it's a fee,road tax is companies responsibility car renter. So I understand how modern online business works some companies use all these techniques to not honour the online deal,they say anything to get your credit card number and start running charges on it hoping they can get away with the upcharges that wete not mentioned. Old adage if it's too good to be true ,it's likely not true.
Sooo many hidden fees, no flexibility whatsoever and no will to make up for it. ”The company is evil” is what the employees behind the counter said. They have a hidden fee of 100$ PER DAY if you are an underage driver. The man behind the counter told me to go to another car rental company down the road because they do not recommend their own company. Its been three months since I rented this car, got to the dealership, got denied, got my booking cancelled, called up customer service and STILL have not got my money back. If I had to choose between getting an arrow through my leg or renting another car via this company, I would gladly paint a red dot for aim on my kneecap.
Had the worst customer experience in my life at the Routes in Fort Lauderdale. Not only did they want to charge us $375US extra than our original booking but the "manager" on duty was rude, yelled at several customers and demanded that I speak in English, instead of French, with my husband and a fellow customer. When I said that I had a right to speak in any language that I wanted, he told me that it was a private property and that I needed to leave if I wasn't going to speak in English. He then proceeded to speak in Spanish with his work colleague. We were three different customers with bookings that left without a car rental because of the abuse and surcharges.
It took me 4 try's to get the payment area of the online form to work, and i could not even use my 10% off coupon the code MAR10 came up invalid and would not let me move forward without removing it. I tried calling both phone numbers but no one ever answered.
Very pushy trying to upsell you things you do not need and just down right lied. I had to call my insurance company to set the obnoxious and rude lady taking "care" of me straight. Then they gave me a full size pickup truck. I reserved a midsize suv. I was going to see my 91yr old mom and handicapped sister, I had trouble getting in!
Listen to the reviews and do not book! I booked through a 3rd party for pick up at the Denver airport. I wasn't given the rental company name until I received the voucher 48 hours before our reservation which at that point, it was too late to cancel. If you do go with them, bring not only your car insurance card BUT also the declarations page that show you have collision and comprehensive insurance. Apparently, that's how they get most people to purchase not only Route's insurance, but the additional collision insurance which runs about $40 a day. Luckily from reading reviews, I made sure to bring those items. Pick up for us went very smoothly. So, I thought we were in the clear. There was a crack in the windshield that I made sure to video during pickup. During our 4 days stay in Colorado, where it snowed and sleeted most of the trip, somehow the windshield cracked in a new spot. So, shocker when I go to drop off the vehicle, they inform me that yes, they were aware of the previous crack in the windshield, but I would be charged my whole $500 deposit for the new crack. Mind you, there was already one crack (different spot), it was 60 degrees the day we picked up the rental and during our stay, temps got as low as 10 degrees, plus sleet/ice throughout the trip. So, you combine all of those factors, one can very easily see how we got the short end of the deal when it came to getting charged $500 for an already cracked windshield. You think you're saving money by using them, but just like everyone else has said, the initial discount/cheap price you get when booking, will not be the final price paid. Had I just booked straight through an actual good car rental place vs trying to find the cheapest, I would have saved at minimum $300 in the long run. Don't walk, run away from this rental agency.
Mr.King was super helpful and very courteous.
I had an outstanding experience at Routes thanks to Zee! From the moment I walked in, they provided friendly, professional, and efficient service. They took the time to understand my needs, offered helpful recommendations, and ensured I got the perfect vehicle for my trip. The car was clean, well-maintained, and ready to go when I arrived. Zee went above and beyond to make the process seamless, answering all my questions with patience and a smile. Their exceptional customer service made renting a car stress-free. I highly recommend Routes and especially Zee for anyone looking for a smooth, hassle-free rental experience. I will definitely be returning in the future!
Everything was fine but had to buy liability insurance although I believed I was covered through credit card and car insurance so in Canadian $ it was just under $700 however not bad for 3 weeks and had peace of mind.Bring your quarters. We went through 2 tolls not attended for 1$ each..I mailed a $2us check to toll company but then Routes charged me $52 us or $77 Canadian.Learned a lesson I guess.Going back to Florida in April..I’ll flip a coin to see if we go that Routes again.
