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.

When we arrived at counter to pick up car, all the staff disappeared into back office. After about 20 minutes standing around waiting I decided to knock on office door to find an employee. About 10 minutes later a staff member emerged from the back and rudely stated to me "I was using the bathroom, is that ok?" By this time, we had been travelling with small children all day and the last thing we needed was a bunch of attitude. Finally got the car after about an hour (they said they had to clean the car before we took it, which we said we didn't need). Upon returning the car, we were told we'd be charged $250 for clean the little bit of sand on the rugs. I sat in the parking lot shaking the floor mats out. Even the shuttle driver said he'd never heard of such a thing and would tell the manager. Very unprofessional. Very rude. Apathetic employees. Takes way too long.

Such a simple process. I had all the paperwork ready and that made the process really fast. The car we got was like brand new and very nice to drive. All the other rentals during that time were 2-3 times as expensive, but we didn’t compromise on anything with Routes.

Very easy and seamless. I’ll be using this again.

Had to wait about 10 minutes at MCO for the airport, and once we got to Routes it was another 10 minute wait, then I was on my way. Got a free upgrade. For the price I paid the overall experience was great.

The waiting time in the airport could be better.
