Worst rental experience I've had.

About Routes: 2.0 /10

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.

“Excellent car, terrible pick up process”

About Routes: 8.0 /10

I have mixed feelings about my experience renting a car through the website and location. Online it was not clear that the pick up location is offsite away from the airport. We took a shuttle to the pick up spot and there we experienced the worst pick up process ever. Even though the staff were courteous it was clear they were really understaffed and the process was very inefficient. We spent over two hours waiting to receive our car. However once we did receive our car we were very happy with the vehicle we received and we did not have any problems with it during our trip. Because of our long wait during the pick up, when we dropped the car off we didn’t even wait for the shuttle but chose to take an Uber back to the airport.

“Would not recommend, unsafe vehicles and prices different than advertised.”

About Routes: 5.7 /10

I would not recommend using them. The location was initially unable to provide me with the car I requested (economy car) and instead gave me a jeep wrangler. The vehicle was unsafe to drive and could have resulted in a serious accident as a bolt for the rear control arm/axel was missing and I was informed of this by a stranger since I do not know much about the jeep. Routes did provide me with an alternative vehicle that also seemed to have weird sounds when driving. Additionally, the rate for prepaid tolls does not match the description on their policies (4.99/day + usage) and is significantly higher (11.99/day), resulting in a much higher cost than anticipated. Overall, the staff was nice but vehicles are either worn out or unsafe and the false rate advertised on their website felt like a bait and switch strategy.
