This was THE worst truck rental experience I've ever had. Not only did did the company over charge me for something that was their fault. They did nothing to fix it, I eventually had to go into the store and demand a refund. Their customer service is the WORST and wasted so much of my time.
Great service and the right vehicle for the job!
Good Branch and very luxury cars
We reserved a cargo van. When we arrived in the morning to pick it up they did not have one for us so they gave us a cube truck instead. The clerk was wonderful and very helpful. Wonderful experience all around. We will never again use the competitors for our moving needs! Thankyou discount for being so great!
Poor service
Great staff and service keep it up.
Great people, good service! The only thing is the number of economy cars they have is limited and you get an SUV instead!!!
New staff are friendly and it was a good experience overall. Ashley was amazing, she was really helpful in my rental.
1. They do not pick up phones for same day customer pick ups 2. You WILL get your vehicle late (mine was 2 hours late) 3. Poor customer service (they fight with you, and I mean if you ask them where the car you'll be taking is.. after they were 2 hours late (forgot about you), they give you a really poor attitude, and just tell you it is what it is, you have to wait) 4. stay away from this place.. I thought it was an isolated incidence, i rented from there again. same thing. 5. WATCH OUT FOR VEHICLE INSPECTION before you take the vehicle, they will miss scratches and such.. 6. they might give you an empty tank which you have to fill right away --- they did this both times I rented and then I had to find fill up as soon as I got the vehicle.
Rented a vehicle in kap to drive home down south to port hope. And wanted to charge us 1000+$ for drop off fee for which there was none for our rental. And then when we drop it off in cobourg which I was told by kap office was fine to do so, I was told I cobourg to drive it back up to kap. This company is the worst one I've ever rented from. I will never rent from discount again.
This is the first time I rented car through discount and it was amazing experience. The staff is so friendly and luckily I got a new and latest car model.lol.
I rented a truck and returned it when I was finished. Everything was fine.
I have been using discount car rentals from the last 2-3 years. The staff is amazing and friendly, I would recommend to my friends it's cheap and affordable
Covid protocols suck but there's no reason businesses can't adapt. 2 person inside rule while others bake in 45c weather just outside is lack of leadership and effort. Another lesson learned.
I have booked rental vehicles several times through discount car & truck rental. Dealing with the folks at the 174 Main Street East location is a pleasant experience. Vehicles are clean and well maintained.
Very efficient service. The rates are always the best. Staff are very friendly and helpful.
Terrible Service so far i am still in the midst of arguing with their management about additional fees they have charged me. I had returned the vehicle had the staff check the vehicle for them to tell me it was perfect and there were no additional fees (otherwise id have paid them on the spot) only to have my credit card (which i advise against giving to them if not completely necessary) charged for an additional 92.52 which they claim was for gas fees and a late fee. Absolutely Terrible.
I have used this location numerous times as they offer weekend service (Saturday and Sunday). Staff are always fast, helpful and courteous. Vehicles are always ready as expected and clean. Highly recommend, my favorite place to rent cargo vans and moving trucks.
Good service. Nice riding truck with A/C. I would use Discount again.
Used to work there, recommendation is rent from elsewhere . Overpriced and poorly maintained vehicles
Recently went to rent a car here. Big mistake. Booked a reservation online, showed up and no cars were available. Then after arguing with them for x amount time they offered to drive us to the upper james location for a car. We inspected the car with the associate. Obviously they didn’t do a full safety check on the car due to our later occurring situation. We then left that location not even 2 minutes down the road the locks started going on and off constantly. We decided to pull over and thank god we did because about 10 minutes later the front tire exploded. A gash in the tire about a foot wide was in the wall of the tire. Imagine if we had been driving and that had happened? We called discount and they proceeded to tell us we needed to deal with it and call the towing company. Towing company showed up and were stunned by what they saw. Discount had then delivered us another car to the location, not sorry in the least. We ended up returning the car one day early and still was charged another full day. On top of that the manager tells us we will now be paying for the price of a new rim and tire plus towing. They will also be keeping our $250 deposit. I said we would get our lawyer and insurance involved and she seemed perfectly fine with that, like they are use to it by now. Horrible experience would not recommend to anyone.
Worst customer service ever !! enterprise is much better very rude staff
great
Staff are very polite and respectful to all patrons. If they don't have what you booked online they will find another Vehicle at no extra cost. Looking forward to returning to Discount Car & Truck rental.
Good deals
Rented me a car that had expired plates! Did not offer any compensation, almost got a ticket as I was pulled over with said plates. Awful customer service, never had the car I booked, always a long wait even when no other customers were there. Not recommended, walk cross the street for MUCH better service and value.
Discount provides very good support and services, there rates are economic and car which I rented was in excellent condition. So would highly recommend this services to you gyes ????
The car was so clean and the staff was so nice
Always asking for the same personal info. filled in online reservation
Very disappointed I was able to reserve a minivan on their website and received a confirmation email but when I went to pick it up I was told they didn’t have it or anything comparable. Even though I could see they had a few still I guess those were for people who’s reservations were more important than mine.
I have gone to discount car and truck rental for the past four years for our annual 8 day trip. We rent the same 4 minivans every time, and although it usually works out in the end I tend to be disappointed in there lack or organization. Each year we rent at least 1 month in advance and request the Dodge Caravans, but I always have to fight for these at the last second, after they let us know just a few days before we leave for the trip that they cannot get us four of them. This past year we only got 1 and had to compromise on the 3 other vehicles. So although there service is relatively good, and we end up with a decent price and vehicles in the end, the fight to get to that point (even though they should have it all on file from all the previous years - online signup for a reason) is very annoying. We would like to keep working with Discount car, but perhaps other locations are better organized? I will have to reconsider my options for next year. Overall though, the vehicles are good once we get them.
I booked online and the vehicle I booked wasn’t available. I received a phone call from the store saying that they had a Kia Sorento instead. I wanted a minivan. They should have a live inventory. When I called back the day we were leaving, it rang and rang and rang until eventually the call centre picked it up and transferred me back to the store. I confirmed that the Kia was reserved for me as the message left was from the previous day and they stated that they were closed and call back in the morning. I also tried to stop by but there’s nowhere to park especially now due to the construction. It’s really a bad location to access. When I was signing the paperwork for the rental, the manager Andrea came out and there was a girl who does the detailing who came in from outside clearly sweaty and exhausted in the extreme heat outside. The manager looks at her and snaps her fingers and tells her to go run and get more trucks from the mountain. She was very disrespectful of her employee and no one should be treated that way. She spoke to her like she was a dog. It was very rude. The service I received was okay. The guy was friendly enough. We did the walk around to inspect the car and I got in and drove off. The process didn’t take long.
No hassle car rental for a very reasonable price. Will be back, staff was also very nice
Great experience 5 stars
Got a great truck !Great experience Friendly staff. Explained everything throughly. Will use them again
Pick up was fast and efficient. Worker let me know of the minor scratches and windshield ding beforehand. No issues with the return, worker then took the key and the vehicle back. Price was good, even with the CDW. Would rent from them again.
I always get a truck or vehicle here. The cars and trucks are always great and the customer service is great they are always spot on with making sure every thing runs smoothly right from the time we walk in the door
Worst customer service ever. If there we a rating below one star I will give it to them. They gave me a van and said to return it back with the fuel level at same mark (full mark in this case). I did only 40 km with the van and when I returned it back I checked and found that my consumption did not drop the fuel below the full mark. They didn’t accept the van and told me to go refuel it over 5 lousy liters!! I told them I paid for the rental 54$ and they are making a big fuss over 6 dollars worth of gas. Enterprise rentals have a 1000 times better customer service and they would have gracefully accepted the car because it is a very small price to pay for customer satisfaction.
They will hold your depisit for 30 days and give you run around dont deal with Ashley she is useless i still have not received my deposit. Upon calling for my deposit they were very rude and ignorant saying its not their problem its head office problem. And then hang up when you you require answers. I notice all bad reviews were by colored people and good reviews look made up from their friends
WORST customer service ever. There was a deal online that one of the reps confirmed but she didn't give us because she said in her own words, "we only sometimes give that deal." What!!!!
Will never go back to them. I rented a car week before and I also asked them a day before for my confirmation. When I shown up there at my pick up time at the first place they didn’t serve me they all were busy talking and later on they asked me to get the pickup truck instead of sedan car, in spite of doing reservation, a week before. They did the same to my friend who was their to rent a car. My friend was asked to get mini van instead of midsize car. This guys will crash your plans for your outing or any plans you made by renting a car. Worst service ever!!!
Great service and friendly
Relatively hassle free. Many of the cargo vans are brand new.
Easy experience, Lynda was fantastic. Thanks!
Fast and decent
My experience with the staff in booking and picking up my rental van was great however there’s something wrong with the gas indicator of the moving van i had rented. This makes me wonder if it was tweaked to trick customers in getting more gas. I picked up the van when it was 3/4 full and was supposed to return it with the same amount, when pumping before I returned, my friend was pumping gas and I kept turning on the car to make sure I don’t go pass 3/4 (no point filling it up because they won’t pay you the difference). We were both shocked how much gas we got but the gas indicator needle was just very slowly moving to half and not getting to 3/4 point. It got to a point that the gas pump was clicking indicating full that we realized we have over pumped. When we were driving back to return the van, while on the road, the gas needle continued moving and after few minutes of driving, it indicated it’s full! This is a scam but I’m not sure what i can do about it, but heads up if you plan to rent from these guys.
I stopped renting from them (only reason I still did was beacuse of the cheap prices) when I realized they are the only ones that limit the km you can use and most of the times when you go pick up on Saturday morning they simply don't have a car for you. Never had this issue with Enterprise or any other car rental company. Avoid at all costs!
This is the place I will continue to go to for a car. I was served by a very nice and chilled out gentlemen who took care of me promptly and politely. Very out going and friendly service :)
Highly recommended. Only rental spot open on a Sunday on a long weekend. I needed a rental because my sister's car was in the shop and she needed wheels. These folks are professional, polite and on point. Their paperless contract is awesome and makes the process so much easier. Thank you to everyone at this location, you are great people!
Very professional service. Would gladly use again!
Great service and good deals.
Great place to rent car and the people there are nice and kind
Your representatives had four an a half hours to call me this morning to let me know you did not have a car for me. I took time out of my day to go to your location and get my car, only to be turned around out the door with zero customer empathy. All I got was a sorry pal for your luck, you're on a call list, goodbye. I've booked with your location four times in the past two months, and the same happened earlier this week, but a VW Golf was ready within an hour. Today was it for me. I went across the street to Enterprise and got a fresh 2019 Mitsubishi RVR on the spot with ease. Enterprise for the win.
Very smooth experience.
Discount offers much more than enterprise, such as their own insurance and after-hours drop offs.
It's ok
great ease at getting the vehicle great vehicle thank you!you guys are it!
Friendly staff, car was clean, I am pleased it was a Toyota (not often available to rent in my experience). Included a snow brush.
Wonderful experience
Horrible car rental company. Never have cars when you pick up even when you reserved which ruined my schedule for 3 times without any explanation and I stop renting cars from this company.
Mini van that was reserved was not available. It is a holiday, so this is the only location open in the city. Phone tag with a St Catharines location finally got us access to a van. Staff had to drive to get it. Cost us 3 hours before an 8 hour drive. Ben was fantastic
Nice Cars and Best services...????
Both pickup and return staff persons were excellent. The pickup person in particular went out of her way to explain and demonstrate.
This was our second rental with Discount within a few weeks (1st with Guelph branch) and the team was awesome! We had originally booked a one-way rental with dropoff in Toronto however because of the shortage of vehicles, I was told that it wasn’t possible but was given unlimited mileage instead. When we picked up the vehicle, we were pleasantly surprised that the one-way rental was in fact now available so we were able to drop the truck off in Toronto making the move less rushed. Highly recommend Discount and will definitely use again.
They are the best team of all discount branches, especially Mr Arrun he is so professional and amazing attitude.
Very bad experience. Rented cube truck, left it back with filled gas and reciept. Next day I get charged for not topping up gas. When presented with credit card statement, they asked us for original bill. And then started half an hour of shouting and abusive language! Seriously, is this what we should expect from the "First" discount car rental office? Pathetic!
Fast friendly service
i was on the phone for an hour booking a reservation.... when the day came to pick up the car they had to no idea about my reservation.... what a joke
Brand new car! Chevrolet Cruze with unlimited kilometers. The service was good, but the shop was very busy, because it was Friday late afternoon. Otherwise great. Another plus: if you are living at the same address, you can add your significant other as additional driver at no cost!
Worst Customer service..Staff is too much rude..try to cut payment from your credit card
Two times I've rented here. Friendly, fast, reliable.
Really good experience! Called ahead for reservation and they noticed the location I had chosen was closed the following day and I would have had to pay for additional rental fees. They quickly directed me to a location that I could return the rental on the Saturday and that saved me a ton of $$$!
Every member of staff was professional, friendly & helpful.
I made a reservation on October 25, 2017 and my rental date was November 23, 2017. They called me before a day of my itinerary that they cannot provide me covered van. Very poor and unprofessional service indeed. I don't recommend anyone to rent from discount car
Great service, cheap price! I will use their services for sure! Obrigado!
Excellent customer service. I’ve never had an issue with this business. The staff is always nice, and accommodating. They are very thorough. The place I go every time I need a rental. I don’t even bother to shop around anymore because I know I’m always happy with their vehicles and their service.
Very nice welcom and Nice staff ????
The vehicle size we reserved online 2 weeks in advance was not available. Two people with their own separate personal insurance plans can't rent the same vehicle, even if their credit card also covers rental insurance. They also hit you with the additional driver cost afterwards. It's not stated online.
I know t is not fair to judge a place, a well-know brand, just by the behavior of one person. However, the behavior of that one person, was the reason that I did not have a good experience with this branch at first. The lady was constantly on the phone, rather than answering to me, and the meantime all the people that came after me got their cars and the lady could not give me a car, simply because there was no other cars. She offered me the minivan, which I did not like at all at first, but enjoyed it when I got it. I will return to them, but appreciate it if they understand the meaning of the line and act based on First Come, First Serve.
I love that they gave me an SUV when my SUV was being fixed, and that they called me a day after to inquire how I was faring with the vehicle. Good customer care service as per my personal experience.
Took 30 minutes to drop off the vehicle because they did not file the inspection sheet properly. No good.
Still best choice car rentals over enterprise or any other value and car class
Great customer service went out of their way to accomodate my needs in a hurry way better than u haul.
I truly appreciate the excellent service from Discount after my car was deemed unsafe to drive following a rear end collision in July. Your delivery to the Dundas Collision Centre within the specified time and the condition of the rental vehicle were both excellent. I had the rental vehicle for nearly a month due to difficulty getting replacement parts from Toyota and just picked up my car this morning. Thank you for making this unfortunate incident so much easier to work through. Kind regards, Lavinia Wilson.
We have been renting from Discount for several years now. Cars are always clean and dependable. The customer service at this branch is exceptional.
Fast, courteous, great vehicle
Great service Thank you very much
Awesome experience...
Friendly staff, quick service and a fair price. They even gave a jump start to my friend's car when it wouldn't start! Will definitely use this location again.
Great staff great cars great prices and again the people are really nice there try to help you through everything, smile all the time, a friendly place, cars are really clean and full on gas all the time and I gave them 10/10 all the time for the past one and half year. The manager calls you if something happens to make sure you are satisfied, staff call you during the rent to make sure everything is fine and they call again after the rent to make sure you enjoyed the rent.
Absolute garbage service and no communication between the client and customer service, always read the fine print. Prepare to get ripped off.
Great rental experience. Nice staff. Nice cars
Very helpful nice staff
great people and outstanding value
My experience with discount has far exceeded my expectations for a car rental place, As soon as I walk through the door I am greeted with smiles , All my questions were answered with knowledge and they were there to help me get a vehicle best suited for my Situation, and I also have to say is I will be using Discount car rentals for now on thank you discount.
Great trucks Excellent staff
A first class, professional and customer focused business! The best vehicle rental experience I have ever had! I would highly recommend the Discount Car and Truck Rentals at 174 Main St, Hamilton Ontario. My initial reservation was made online for a 16 foot cube truck rental for a move from Hamilton to Kingston. The website is intuitive, informative and easy to use. Hints about size of truck required, moving tips and tips on packing the truck. all very helpful Subsequently our circumstances changed and I found it necessary to amend the reservation which I did by calling the Main St outlet directly. Chris and Linda were professional, knowledgeable, courteous and efficient in revising the reservation as required. The day prior to pickup I received an email reminding me of the reservation and confirming details. On day of pickup everything was handled professionally and efficiently by Dannish and Nirmeen. The right vehicle was ready and paper work processed quickly. With additional input from Nirmeen we elected to purchase an unlimited km package which saved us money. During the 2 day rental period I received 2 phone calls and 2 emails asking if everything was going well and if I had any questions about the truck. The truck performed flawlessly. Thanks to everyone at Main St Hamilton our move went perfectly. I have used several other vehicle rental companies in the past, never with the great experience that I had with Discount. Based on this experience I will use Discount for all my vehicle rental requirements.
Good card
Even after reservation, they told me first come first serve basis, and they can't pick me up as initially agreed. I managed to get there without a car very quick and still they didn't honor my reservation. They wasted my day, I could have a car from another company easily and sooner and could have gone to work if they didn't mislead with a fake reservation.
very bad my reservation was cancelled my planed trip cancelled
great service
Great staff, friendly and accommodating. :)
Good rates. Friendly staff in office. Drop off is a nice option. Car was ok and mostly clean. Phone booking was a bit irritating (e.g. not familiar with the City and closest location, not helpful about the car sizes).
They didn't have the cargo van I needed so they upgraded me to the cube truck for free. Friendly customer service, excellent pricing
****Beware of terrible service from this location and their office**** Booked a reservation online, and received a call the next day to tell me the vehicle is no longer available to me because a corporate account wants all the vans that weekend. I asked about another location and was told they are taking all the vans from the Upper James location as well. I am also booking well in advance. When I asked if I should book elsewhere I was told that yes I should. Called into the booking center and was offered a vehicle further away for almost double the price. After losing my temper and apologizing I spoke to someone who was supposed to be a manager. I was told it would be escalated to upper management and I would receive a call. No phone call after 8 hours. No follow up. Poor service, poor business model. Booked a vehicle with Enterprise Rent-a-Car.
Good experience this time but last time waited 5 hours to get a car
JOKE, THEY OPERATE FROM AN OVERSEAS CALL CENTRE!!! YET CHARGE THE SAME RATE LIKE OTHER COMPANIES, I HAD TO WAIT 10 MINS FOR A QUOTE only TO FIND OUT ITS 110 BUCKS PLUS GAS FOR A TRUCK DESPITE THEIR SITE CLAIMS 20 BUCKS A DAY UNLIMITED KM!!! THAT'S MISLEADING . OTHER COMPANIES GIVE FREE GAS!!! AND AT OTHER PLACES I DONT HAVE TO BOOK RIGHT AWAY AS THEY HAVE PLENTY OF TRUCK SO I CAN BOOK FEW HRS IN ADVANCE
We have rented vans out a few times from the Main Street location and found all the staff we have interacted with to be warm and friendly. They are also very quick to accommodate if they can. Thank you all!
The worst. Do not rent from. Go elsewhere. Can not maintain customer file. Are rude on the phone. Will make uniformed, harassing phone calls about return of vehicle. Poor experience overall
Excellent service, I didn't have any trouble. Brand new cars.
Dealt with them many times. Would give 5stars but vehicles arent always cleaned up for you. I'm sure its because they dont sit there very long and gone again. Staff is great
Moving Truck was clean and we'll maintained. No hidden fees, no hassle because we had booked the truck a couple days in advance. Easy to drive and load. Customer service was timely and the staff was pleasant. Insurance available but can use alternative source if you have it. Everything was well explained and easy after- hours drop off. Over all 5/5 experience.
Good
Able to get an affordable truck with unlimited kms on very short notice. Friendly staff made the process a breeze.
well done. This rental experience was the best I can remember. Very professional, would recommend your company to anyone. I will be using your company when I am in need of a large truck.
Excellent service got a Mercedes Benz 300 dropped at my house and picked up at my house ????????????????
Discount Car & Truck Rentals in Main St. Hamilton so far has provided the best service in terms of car rentals. We have actually started getting to know the personnel by their first name. They are willing to take the extra mile to provide customer service. Definitely would be calling them in booking car rentals in the future.
Always get my vehicles from here....great selection and pricing
Fast service
They did a great job getting us a rental while our vehicle was being repaired. Went through all the coverages and the do s and don't s. Very happy with car supplied clean and fresh. No problems or hassles on the return. Great job thanks.
I've been going to this Main st location for a few years and always had great, quick service at the desk, associates have been able to answer any questions I have. Cars are always clean, and have received complementary upgrades on more than one occasion!
Great job, thanks folks at 174 Main Street East!!
A girl who works here helped me jumpstart my car in the middle of a cold snap!!!
Booked a car for 10am online yesterday. Eventually, got a pick up this morning after being on hold for 20 minutes -- only to arrive and find there are no cars available. Late for work now. Perhaps the 'discount' wasn't worth it.
Ben was a pleasure to deal with. He was very accommodating. The lot was a bit too small for late night returns though. Will rent with this location again.
I can say it in one word: excellent; mainly the people
Truck was affordable. Staff were friendly. The hydraulic lifting gate was a big plus with heavy furniture.
Been a regular customer for more than 4years now. Staffs are always friendly and cheerful!!????????????
Nice people and nice car!
Good staff to serve u
Quick and professional services and great prices
Excellent place and fantastic custumer service !
Staff are friendly and helpful have had good experience renting from them cars are always immaculate and drive well
The staff picked me up and dropped me off in downtown Hamilton. They directed me when lost. Price was better than quoted- good value!
This rental car company lied about the rate. through my insurance company I was told 25 dollars a day and just received a bill for 54 dollars a day. They had me sign the papers at the body shop without a price on it that was filled out later when I wasn't there. Dishonest.
Shoutout to Ashley L and B, Arun and Chinmay for helping us get a rental vehicule ( if i wrote name wrong. Sorry . . . ) affordable. 65$ with insurance for passat tsi 2018 So please keep their vehicule clean and dont smoke in em or abuse em. Keep it up Oh and my mom fell in love with a freaking vw passat 2018 . We... well. Have too many broken cars laying around..
Ashley was amazing. Thank you for helping make a very bad situation alot better. Now we can do things this long weekend. Afain thank you Ashley for all your excellent customer service. Jocelyn Cote and family
Most of the staff really try hard here.
Best Customer Service Experience. Amazing Staff and good prices.
Called to confirm the same day car rental availability. Was assured that all is good, there is a car ready. Made a reservation. Came down and was told in person that there was a mistake and all cars are rented out. Not really an apology either, just yeah they made a mistake, can't help, bye.
Quick and easy
The quality of the car was good The cost was fair.
I booked a truck online got my reservation confirmation then the next day they tell me Sorry we have no truck for you...our webpage doesnt factor in availability. Seriously why have a webpage....person on phone did not even try to help find an alternative. Thanks for nothing!
Trying to call branch is an ordeal why list s 905# that goes the main North American line. Dumb
I have been using this service for 3 weeks now and I love it. It’s very good and friendly environment. Staff is super friendly as they do what they can for u.
