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.

took them 40 minutes to pick me up from the airport. they were very busy, subsequently, the car I received was not properly cleaned. to the point that a hair brush and medicine from previous renter was still in the car...
My only criticism was that the Vancouver was way understaffed!! Fortunately I ran to be first in line at when the shuttle dropped off, but there was only one person at the desk. Longer line to pick up was noted when I dropped off. Vancouver location quite odd--an old chinese restaurant with booths still n place.

About Routes:8.0/10
The employees are extremely friendly. Because of this, I would absolutely rent from Routes again. The shuttle driver who drove during my trip from the airport was patient and one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. The driver on the way to the airport was, well, the opposite -- his stories made it clear that he has a road rage problem. The rental car itself was fine -- it was in ok condition. There was trash left in the vehicle (e.g., a large cup under the seat) from previous occupants, and the car had quite a bit of minor cosmetic issues (doesn't bother me at all). The main problem was that it took an extremely long time for me to pick-up the car, despite being second in line upon arrival at the rental car office. I waited over an hour. The staff was friendly, but didn't explain (until 50 minutes into the wait) that they were trying to find the car off-site. It was given to me with a quarter tank of gas. I guess, for the price, I shouldn't expect things to be smooth.
They did not have the category of car i reserved even though i pre-paid! I reserved a corolla or similar car and when they did not have it they asked me to take a pickup truck! I said 'no way im drying that', so they gave me a HUGE dodge derango that was an absolute gas guzzler, like nothing i have seen, i used so much more money on gas than i wanted to that went completely no compensated for. It took around an hour to get the car. Aside from that hour I waited 40 minutes to be picked up at the airport...and they would not give me any money back on the rental or give me vouchers for next time - nothing! No compensation for the absolute wrost car rental experience I have ever happened. Really poorly done - would never recoomend to myself or rent with them again.
