Do. Not. Hire. From. United. Cars.
Please do not enter a contract or pay money to this company. We booked through the website broker Discover Cars. On arrival at Athens there was no identified pick up as described by Discover Cars. We were eventually collected in an old transit and driven to an empty parking lot with an abandoned portacabin. Nearby staff from a parking company informed us, and about 15 other people waiting, that they had no cars. We had to get back to the airport and hire from a reputable company. Discover cars failed to respond to our experience for over a week, with only bot responses available. We did manage to get a complaint lodged, complete with photographs of an abandoned portacabin and an empty parking lot. Discover cars presented as a broker between ourselves and United cars. However United cars lied about the facts and Discover Cars accepted this without question. United Cars are not a reasonable, responsible, honest company. Do. Not. Use. Them. Ever. Discover Cars have been complicit in United Cars disgraceful failures.
