Great car, pick up took a while.

The waiting time took quite a while, but the pick up process was straight forward. My only feedback was that the cleanliness of the vehicle was subpar and I had called to complain about this. I called 5 times about the dog fur that was not cleaned up, and Amrit (customer service) said she would pass on my message to the manager and that they would call me back. I never got a call back, and had my allergy symptoms throughout the rental because of the unclean car / dog fur.

Great and easy booking process, overall excellent value!

The shuttle from the airport was a horrendous THREE HOUR experience due to mainly traffic. Once at the Routes office yet another agonizing 50 minute wait due to inconsiderate and inexperienced staff. After 35 minutes to get through the sign-in, the pre-inspection found the vehicle was NOT clean and ready, the lot jockey collided with another vehicle in their lot rushing it over to the cleaning bay. Another vehicle was brought in, NOT clean, so we had another 15 minute wait to finally get our “not to clean” vehicle ! This four hour + fiasco set us nicely into Vancouver rush hour traffic which was not in my plans considering we landed at YVR at at 12:45pm

You initially get recorded messages when you phone the Tel # upon arrival to arrange airport transfer to the Rental pick up point, eventually you do get to speak with a Person. We were told that there was either a white or grey van at the Pick-up area, which was not true, tried on numerous attempts to phone back and speak with a person but was unable to get through. Eventually we were picked up and taken to the Agency, the Female agent said that we had not rented our vehicle direct from them, that we had use an other Rental Agency, after about 10 -15 minutes of dealing with this person she said that we would be given our vehicle in 2 minutes, after more than 20 minutes passed by she finally gave the Paperwork to a male employee and told him to take us to the vehicle. He requested that we inspect the vehicle and report any deficiencies, as the vehicle had just been washed, was very wet and parked in a dark location I express my concern that it was impossible to see whether there were scratches and dings so he noted my concern on the document. From when we first phoned to when we drove the vehicle off of the Agency lot it was well over an hour, considering the location was only about 5 -7 minutes from the pick up point that is an unacceptable waste of our time due mostly to the inefficiency of the female staff member that handled our rental.

The booking platform worked great

Car smelled cigarettes very badly. Reported this to the customer service but didn’t get any response. Customer service was unfriendly.

I thought the staff could have talked to me more directly. They seemed to think that I knew more than I really did.
