Routes Car Rental

It was much nicer than I expected, and certainly much larger. It was an AMG model which I wasn't expecting.

Good

The car was awful

The car was rented from Europcar, and the service was quite good!

Very good

I warn everyone, do not use Routes Car Rental. They are blatantly dishonest! It's a small rental company located outside the airport. When I went to handle my rental, there were hardly any customers, but the efficiency was surprisingly low. It took 2.5 hours in total, definitely not worth it. Not only is their service irregular and improper, but the few staff members I saw at the store appeared to be all South Asian and were dishonest, lying straight to my face. I had already purchased full insurance through the rental website, with the policy in both Chinese and English, but the staff claimed they couldn't understand and forced me to buy their insurance for over $20 per day. Even after speaking with the customer service rep from the rental website, they still insisted on selling me their insurance.

Reminding all friends, do not use Routes Car Rental! They are blatantly dishonest! It's a small rental company outside the airport. When I went, there weren't many customers, but the efficiency was still low. It took a total of 2.5 hours and it wasn't worth it. Not only is their service unregulated and unruly, but the staff I saw at the store all seemed to be South Asian and were dishonest, lying blatantly: I had already bought super comprehensive insurance on Zuzuche, and the policy was in both Chinese and English, but the staff said they couldn’t understand and insisted on selling me their insurance for an extra $20 per day. Even after I called the customer service of Zuzuche, they continued to push their insurance.

The store required us to purchase new insurance and didn't recognize the insurance already bought on the Zuzuche platform. After over an hour of communication, we finally contacted Zuzuche customer service back in China, but they still didn't acknowledge it. We had to pay for the insurance ourselves to get the car, and then seek reimbursement from Zuzuche upon return.

The car rental company provided excellent service. Despite the language barrier, they patiently explained everything and used translation software to ensure clear communication. The vehicle matched the reservation and was in great condition.

It took a long time to pick up the car, but the return process was very quick.

Routes did not give us the car we rented, they downgraded us saying the insurance we got doesn't cover the car that we ordered which was a lie. Additionaly, they did not allow for a G2 driver's license holder to drive which is also a scam. We should have been notified in advance about this limitation.

Great

After calling at the airport, we waited an hour for the shuttle to arrive.

Misty was very friendly and helpful

I didn't like having to pay for insurance up charges, because I didn't have proof of insurance on my person! That wasn't fair at all!!!!!!

Had to wait forever to get the car. The staff who helped me was junior and quite rude. Would not accept the third party insurance that I have as a benefit in my credit card and asked me to sign a waiver PLUS put a $2,500 deposit down, which I did as I really needed the car to go somewhere. Will never use Routes again!!

GOOD

AS EXPECTED, A BIT LACK MANPOWER, BUT EFFICIENT AND GOOD PRICE

NICE CAR, GOT UPGRADED

The rentals for Routes are provided by Allied. After arriving at the San Juan airport you need to call them to send the shuttle for you, it was very quick process. At the rental location it was very busy, many people waiting for cars, it was moving slow. We were informed that our rental was not returned yet by previous renters (we needed 7 seater) and they don't have another car for us so we need to wait for it to be returned. After inquiring again we were told that maybe renters will decide to keep the car longer (?). and we might not get the car at all !!!! After more complaining they suddenly realized they have a car for us on the lot so eventually we got it. All the process took almost 3 hours . During the return it was even more crowded, they tell you just to leave the car and go, (by the way on their front door specifically says NOT to leave without receipt and closing your contract) They just didn't have enough people working there, they were overwhelmed by the situation. WE were renting right after Christmas so very busy season but still they should be prepared and organized better.
