ROUTES CAR RENTAL REVIEWS IN UNITED STATES

It was fun to drive this car!

Car pick up was problematic: Firstly, it wasn't at the airport with the other car rental companies which meant it took much longer to get on the road. Secondly, the person dealing with the booking had no idea about my booking, despite me giving the reservation copy to her which she said she didn't need...a booking which I had made 5 months earlier, and she tried to give me a Jeep when I had booked a Nissan Rogue or equivalent. I refused the Jeep and then her colleague said, "Oh we just had a Rogue come in"...magically. This person was also quite rude. Additionally, the car tires were low and within an hour the warning light came on. This is unacceptable since you have to pay for air refills in the States. However, the person handling the return was excellent and efficient and friendly.

Tres bien mais plus loin que les autres loueurs, il fau prendre deux navettes à l'aller et u ne seule au retour. L'attente etait un petit peu plus longue que la moyenne habituelle. Le retour a été plus rapide, cependant nous avons été surpris de nous voir reclamer un tip par le chauffeur de la navette, tres inhabituel et malpoli!

L'application n'a pas fonctionné au moment du retrait mais l'email de reservation suffisait

They made us wait for 30 minutes outside the airport in 90 degrees before they sent someone to pick us up. Then they asked to show insurance declaration page otherwise they wont rent me the car. I showed them my insurance proof plus coverage etc but they were not convinced and forced me to buy insurance from them which cost me $170 extra and the total cost to rent the car reached $240 for 4 days which is totally ridiculous. They showed me its part of the agreement that is hidden somewhere down the 3 different pages and in the middle of a huge document. There is no way people are going through every page and line when they rent something on any website. If you have some exception, you must show it in the very front page in bold so people notice it but instead you do it intentionally so as to get money from your customers. Additionally, the girl was also pursuing hard to rent me sun pass while I already had my own ezpass with me. She told me ezpass is accepted only at few places and not everywhere which is a total lie. In fact, there is only florida turnpike which does not accept ezpass otherwise anywhere else you go it is accepted. All this things made my experience very bad and rest assured I am not going to rent from them again in the future. They are a thief.

At MCO the Routes shuttle was not running late night (after 1200). I ended up renting from an company whose shuttle was available.

The shuttle pick-up location is slightly different from what is stated in the print out. They print out says 'Door 3' when it should be 'Station/Pillar 3'. Otherwise everything was awesome!

Had a tough time finding the location in the airport. The location is really not close to the airport and that added more time to pick up. I didn't get the Nissan Rogue as booked but a jeep which is technically an upgrade but inconvenient. The tank was half full which was always a problem for me as I didn't know how much to fill. The folks at the counter were friendly and so also the person who dropped us.

Car interior was not clean, took forever to get car. Used routes before and they are usually good. Don’t know what was going on this time

Slow going at the desk

Very poor customer service and very rude. Very long waits with only a couple of people in line. Wouldn’t recommend to anybody.

Easy booking

The customers are traveling and need the aide of automatic doors when handling luggage.

It's always easy to book on this site. I wish there were more coupons offered.

They were professional and courtesy

The staff were friendly and quick. It’s a 20 minute ride from the airport to get to the pick up. The car we had was damaged on the front bumper, the interior of the car was immaculate

Will use again

Far too pushy on extras such as liability cover

Great value, and I'll probably use Routes again in a few years. But the drop off process must be streamlined: There was a guy to check the mileage/status of the vehicle, but with Enterprise when I give him the keys and sign a slip that he can print mobile, then I'm done. 3 minutes. Instead I had to wait in line for 40 minutes to talk with a very frustrating and loud woman, who contradicted what her boss had just told me to do (which was, to get in her line). Then she left for 15 minutes. Her boss, or maybe it was another person at the counter, helped me and another lady with the drop off process. She missed her flight, I almost missed mine. If I knew it was a 30-60 minute process, I would have planned accordingly.

staff was slow

The counter agents were so friendly, they helped me upgrade the vehicle so all my bags can fit in. I am super satisfied with this rental.

This is an off-site location on Mannheim Road south of ORD. The pick-up involves taking the airport shuttle to the rental car center, then calling Routes for a pick-up. (Two shuttles altogether on pick-up.) Getting back to the airport after returning the car was easier, though: The Routes shuttle dropped returning passengers directly at their terminals rather than at the rental car center -- a nice touch.

Reasonable rental price.

I have to say...one of the best experiences with a rental company....The agent that assisted in my rental was exemplary. He was informative, courteous and added to my overall vacation satisfaction...thanks so much. Will definitely recommend this company to others and will use again in my future visits.

The counter staff are very friendly and helpful. The transactions went quick and smoothly. Shuttle van bring us to the location which is nice because outside the craziness of the ORD airport.
