CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON ROUTES AT OTTAWA AIRPORT, YOW

difficult to deal with off property location. Slow pick up time ( rush hour) . Not clear where pick up is. I've never had anyone make me PROVE I had insurance for rentals. Luckily I had all documentation with me. Found that part to be offensive.

We called to return the car the night before, didn't get an answer at the location, so tried the 800 number, to confirm that someone would be there to drop off the car. When I arrived all the doors were locked, even though online it said it closed at 8 pm, and it was 7:54 pm. There were other customers waiting in the parking lot who said they were supposed to pick up their car at 8 pm and couldn't get any answer. In calling back the 800 number the service was rude, and said it was 8:03 and the office was closed nothing she could do from Toronto office. In the morning I received a call asking if I could return the car early as they had a customer waiting. Very poor planning and experience with Routes.

I got a Jeep instead of Corolla. Gas was expensive due to low MPG.

The people at the Routes office went above and beyond for me. When I got to the airport I realized I had forgot my iPad in my rental car. They lady at the counter and phone was very patient and the shuttle driver made an extra trip to bring it to me. He wasn’t even going to take a tip for his trouble until I insisted.

I didn't know that the choice of cars was only Kia brand. Wé wait long time at thé counter before served, only one person.

Information missing: pick up place in case we missed the shuttle or we use our own transport To have another driver, we have to add 10$/day.

Counter staff were helpful - no wait time aside from signing documents. Shuttle driver was very friendly and funny. Car was in great condition and clean.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. The price was just what I was looking for. The car was better than expected

It found me a great rental company with excellent prices.

The only issue was trying to get a shuttle to pick me up. Voice Mailbox was full and I was unable to leave a message.

Very simple to use.

We enjoyed book the car and we recommend it to others

We had a car that only had 2,000 km on it. Car was clean and ran great

Upgrade very costly on gasoline.

They need to improve their customer service

excellent and easy to book.

Very pleased.

Easy booking and no surprises-great

The staff at Routes were excellent - friendly and efficient. The ideal rental company.

Much better than the other booking companies.

Counter staff were very unfriendly. Not rude but just unfriendly. No attempt to be pleasant at all. Both on pick up and drop off. ( same person) Driver from airport pleasant. Back to airport - again not rude but unfriendly. Like we were bothering him.

No issues. Will use again

Recommend checking tire pressure as this is a key for safety. Driver to and from YOW was excellent.

Vehicle was bigger than the one booked, I presume it was because I collected it on the Sunday of a holiday weekend; this posed problems with my 95-yr-old mom as the vehicle was too high off the ground for her. We managed though. I was disappointed not to be able to book further insurance and reduce the amount deductible in case of a claim, but I was very pleased with the cost of renting the vehicles do the online booking process was easy. I had tremendous difficulty though with the pick-up location and ended up waiting 1.5 hrs for them, as they were waiting in a location that someone else told me was not a available for vehicles to enter so I didn’t wait there. It turns they’d been there twice and couldn’t see me. Then when I dropped off the vehicle, I booked an Uber in advance to collect me from there (I needed to go to the train station and not the airport), but the Uber driver could not find the Routes location, so I ended up being stranded ... a Good Samaritan ended up helping me out.

I was late arriving for my shuttle, it was quickly rectified and someone was there in 5 minutes. I had a wonderful talk with the lady working at the desk when I arrived. She was fabulous and I enjoyed my time spent there.

The entire experience was phenomenal! Can't wait to use your company again the next time I travel that way.

I would rent again and recommend to others. My only complaint is that I would have liked some kind of signature confirming my return and only payment. Some kind of closing/finalized document.

Excellent service,

Good Site to book, specially with notification for price drop option.
