Remember, you get what you pay for! Firstly, the staff's attitude was poor; most of them were Indians and they weren't very patient with Chinese customers, probably because many Chinese customers are not good at English. Secondly, the rental contract process is unlike that of reputable rental companies. Other companies usually have a deposit of $200 and a maximum liability of $700, but here the deposit is $500 and the maximum liability is $3000. Thirdly, they don't show you the contract before you sign it. Normally, a regular store would explain the insurance coverage first, and then let you review the completed contract before signing it. Fourthly, when picking up the car, you must carefully inspect it for any scratches or issues because they won't tell you if there are any problems. If you find issues after taking the car, it will be hard to argue when returning it, and you may face high penalties. I almost got scammed myself, but fortunately, I found two small holes in the windshield before driving away. I asked the staff to note it down, and she reluctantly did so. I pointed out that such damage couldn't have been unknown to her, yet she didn't inform me. This experience taught me to be very cautious when renting a car abroad. Don't try to save a little money at a higher cost; always opt for full insurance.
I booked a sedan but got a hatchback. The service was okay, but there were long lines when picking up the car. Just so you know, you don’t have to queue when returning the car. By the way, I ran into a really frustrating issue: I booked a car with this company through Zuzuche in early February and paid the full amount, returning the car on time. But in early May, they charged me $400 without notifying me. Unreal!
1. This is supposed to be a local chain, but I only found two locations in the whole of Vancouver.
2. During the booking, I specifically chose the Jeep Cherokee, but I got a Nissan instead. The difference is night and day. I couldn't argue because the rental company is located outside the airport. If you don't want it, you have to walk back to the airport yourself.
3. Nowhere did it mention that there was a mileage limit. I went to the US and was told I could only drive 1300 kilometers in 6 days, and any extra would be charged at 30 CAD per kilometer. I just had to accept it.
4. When I picked up the car, they rushed me through a 1-minute inspection, but when I returned it, they took 10 minutes to check. They said there was a ~0.2cm scratch on the top of the windshield that wasn't there before. They insisted it was my fault. Are you crazy for money? Making all sorts of excuses to charge me. In the end, I had to catch a flight, so I unwillingly wrote down what happened.
Everything was ok, the only one major issue we had was we were under the impression that spouses were able to drive as well without an extra charge, and they charged us for that.

Everything with the booking platform was good nice and smooth
“Routes is cheap, but be prepared for a long wait.”
About Routes:6.7/10
Understaffed, long lines and long wait times. Doesn't seem to have been organized well. One lady waited over 90 minutes for a car she booked months in advance.
“Booking a bit stressful but pick up, drop off and actual vehicle was A*”
About Routes:9.7/10
Car was perfect and practically brand new. Service was excellent - no hard sell for extra insurance was appreciated. Drop off was straight forward - all staff friendly and polite.
