Routes was understaffed and ill prepared to service customers.

I will be writing a formal complaint to you with regards to the customer desk of routes service in Orlando.However, after a long flight from the UK we were transferred to the routes centre by a shuttle. No problem, great service nice driver. After waiting for 30 minutes we were served by the most rude obnoxious man I have ever met. Tried to force sell us additions such as break down cover, toll passes and additional insurance. We refused all even though he had pre printed all in the form for us ready to sign! We explained in detail that we had already taken out additional insurance cover in the uk prior to our rental to cover the shortfall in basic cover provided. The man asked to see this certificate and even had the gall to continually say to us we must cancel it and take out the cover he could offer. Disgusting behaviour which left myself and my wife feel quite threatened. After reprinting the form not to include the items stated he proceeded to take us to the car. No explanation of features functions or refuelling procedure. A Brief walk around the car (in the dark) where I had to point out a scratch on the door and that was it!! He Didn’t even notify me of mileage or discuss existing level of fuel left in the tank to start with. The form I took away stated full even though it was only under a quarter of a tank full.... Another item to note, They also wanted full payment from us again even though we had already paid upfront all costs in January? we had to show evidence of this, (luckily we had bought the receipt you issued To us on purchase prepaid in the uk. Not a good start to our holiday which left us quite angry and distressed for a few days. We just had the nagging feeling we were being scammed by the man and we’re going to be hit with additional charges. This was added to after he blatantly watched me enter my credit card pin into the machine to pay the pending deposit. Disgusting.

The price, car, and the service were all excellent! Only complain is that Routes should open earlier, I had a 7 am flight and they do not open until 6am. Even so the staff quickly processed my return and took me to the airport.

We waited for over an hour to be picked up at the airport. I called several times, but the call wasn't answered each time. As you can imagine, this was a bit distressing on arriving in a foreign country. The car itself was fine, apart from one of the tires was inflated to only 21psi, the others were 46psi. I didn't notice this until we started driving so I had to inflate this twice during the car hire. The brakes on the car were quite poor as well. Routes attempted to sell us a car toll sticker for $12 a day, saying that there were many toll roads in Orlando. We didn't have to pay a single toll, despite driving every day of our holidays.

Like: I rented a Nissan Rogue, but ended up with a Jeep Wrangler with navigation. Our flight was delayed and the airport was a MESS. By the time we made it to the rental place, it was 4 to 5 hours after my expected pickup. They didn't have any Rogue's left but they gave me the Jeep for the same price. It was a nice unexpected surprise after all the other travel issues. It was clean, new and Awesome! Thank you for a sweet week! Car got lots of attention and compliments
Dislike: Need an awning for the drop off for when it is raining and you have to do the vehicle check in.

Like: Route were very professional from the point of picking us up from airport till dropping us off. They didn't try to up sell rather asked if i want an upgrade for free, car was clean and everything worked out well. Will use them again in future.
