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 agent insisted on selling insurance, claiming that if I didn't buy it, they wouldn't give me the car. Then they just sat there using their computer and ignored me. I used the rental page to show them that my rental contract already included insurance, and only then did they proceed with the process. However, because I couldn't understand their contract, they charged me a CAD 500 deposit (whereas BMW at Union Station only charged me CAD 300). Due to the language barrier, they made me swipe my card a second time—I thought the first attempt had failed. Later, I checked my messages and discovered that they had charged me an additional CAD 107 as rental fees (as explained by Zuzuche customer service, who are helping me resolve this issue). Additionally, I noticed in the contract a daily service fee of around CAD 7 or so (Zuzuche customer service said they would get back to me). So my advice is to be extremely cautious with this rental company or simply avoid them altogether. City rental companies are much more friendly and reputable. Generally, all busy locations like stations, ports, and airports are prone to fraud. Since the agreed time hasn't yet passed, I'm still waiting to see if there are any issues with the deposit refund.

When I arrived they tried to put my into a mini van claiming that was the only vehicle they had. After reading similar reviews I told them that the van was not acceptable, that I had paid for a SUV and that was the vehicle I wanted. Miraculous that they were able to find a SUV parked next to the other 11 SUVs on their lot!

Booking through Zuzuche allows communication with rental store staff in Chinese, but there were no Chinese-speaking staff available. Communication relied on English and translation. Previously, my claim regarding the cross-border fee was deducted in Canadian dollars from my card. However, the refund was issued in US dollars instead of Canadian dollars. Why wasn't the refund given back in Canadian dollars? I suspect an intentional profit from the exchange rate difference between Canadian dollars and US dollars. Zuzuche, can you clarify: If I made a deposit of 650 Canadian dollars at the rental store, will the refund be processed back as Canadian dollars upon release, or will it be converted into US dollars again?

This seemed to be my first time using National Car Rental, and it felt great—much fewer people in line compared to Hertz and Avis. The staff were warm and friendly, and communication was smooth. I picked a package on QEEQ that included a tank of gas, which was quite a deal. The package, however, only covered basic insurance, so I proactively added supplemental insurance (which rental customers usually prefer) for a reasonable price of 8 CAD per day. They gave me a larger Ford Escape, which felt very typical of American cars but was easy to drive and came equipped with CarPlay. The vehicle was in excellent condition.

1. After arriving at the airport, we had to take a shuttle train to another parking lot and wait for a car to pick us up, which was highly inconvenient. 2. The service process was extremely slow, staffed entirely by Indian workers. The reserved car model was unavailable, and they tried various excuses to persuade us to upgrade to a pricier option. After insisting, they reluctantly provided us with another car. 3. I rented for 8 days, but they required me to return to the store in 2 days to switch to the reserved model. The round trip to change the car took 1 hour, and even though we arrived at the agreed-upon time, we had to wait an additional hour for processing. The time, effort, and fuel spent on this were uncompensated, and we didn't even receive an apology. 4. When returning the car, we had to wait another hour. Several other customers we encountered mentioned they would never rent from this company again.

At Iversta Rent A Car, there's a local white woman who is older than a young girl but not quite middle-aged. She gets along very well with the Indian staff. She wears a light yellow knit sweater, with sunglasses perched on her forehead, and the sweater open, revealing a hint of cleavage. Her complexion is not too fair, and she has a leathery tan, with signs of aging visible on her face. She has a sharp nose and a piercing gaze when arguing with customers. This car rental company is near Toronto Pearson International Airport and has a high volume of customers in the morning, making the store very crowded. If a client approaches her desk, she impatiently waves them away with a curt 'Have a seat!' She walked behind the two Indian staff members at the counter, gently squeezed the shoulder of the one on the right, and softly said, 'I'm your daughter.' Then she gently stroked the beard of the Indian staff member, who looked as gentle as an angel from the Bible. Before the store manager could intervene, she whispered a few words to the Indian staff members and then dealt with a customer issue by fining them CAD 300 for spilling water on the car seat, subsequently canceling their future rental orders.

A rental company with extremely poor service. Nowhere in the world have I encountered such difficult staff, particularly the Indian employees at this company! Even though my registration information was extremely detailed, they still did not accept the additional insurance purchased through the Zuzuche platform. They forcibly withheld a pre-authorization of 2500 CAD for car insurance and 700 CAD for traffic violations, which are estimated to be held for two months. This company taught me a lesson; I would be a fool to choose this company for car rentals again!

The car was a Hyundai Tucson, but it almost similar to a Toyota RAV4 The waiting time at the meeting place (Viscount station) was more than 40 minutes. If there is no luggage, it is much faster to reach the place on foot in approximately 15 minutes. The staff does not want to admit that the insurance policies were not bought from them, they did not give the car without buying additional insurance from them! They also charged extra for after-hours car pick-up despite the fact that I arrived at the meeting place on time. The tank was only 2/3 full. The difference is not reimbursed for returning the car with a full tank.

The car itself was fine, but the overall experience was poor. Pick up did not go well having to wait 20+ minutes for the airport shuttle, then a further hour or so sorting out all the paperwork. This included being told I had to pay extra for 'their insurance' having already upgraded insurance on the original booking. When I booked the car it was good value for money but with this 'extra insurance' that they insisted I purchased it was comparable with other more reputable brands. To be honest, I was fearing the worst dropping the car back. There were several stressed customers there not happy about the insurance 'extras' and/or the time it was taking (reflecting my own experience). However, drop off was relatively straightforward although I was kept waiting about 20 minutes for the shuttle to return me to the airport. All in all, not a good experience and I will be careful to check reviews / use a more reputable company in the future.

The rental counter is not far from the exit. I was able to find it without much trouble despite pushing a cart with two large suitcases. The process was straightforward. The lady at the counter was very friendly. She asked for my preference when selecting the car. After I checked the car and pointed out some issues (mainly that there was no spare tire, which she didn't seem to be aware of either), she immediately gave me a different car. The return process was also simple; they just asked if there were any damages and checked the fuel gauge.

1. Picking up and dropping off the car is extremely inconvenient, very frustrating. The car rental company is located far from the airport. Upon arrival at the airport, you need to call the rental company at 1-647-6914042. However, this number only provides automated voice service, and there is no option to reach a live representative or request a shuttle. You end up waiting at the airport without being able to contact them. Calling QEEQ customer service also didn't help, as they couldn't reach the rental company either. I had to wait until the rental company's shuttle happened to drop off other passengers. Overall, the pickup and drop-off process is very inconvenient, and I strongly recommend against renting from this company. 2. The staff forced me to buy their insurance at a high price. I told the staff that I had already purchased insurance through QEEQ, but they didn't believe me and demanded proof of purchase. QEEQ did not provide a certificate but did show coverage amounts. The staff then claimed that the 50,000 RMB coverage from QEEQ was insufficient and insisted I buy their insurance with a 25,000 CAD (125,000 RMB) coverage. They explicitly stated that without purchasing their insurance, I couldn't rent the car. After wasting 1-2 hours and with no help from QEEQ customer service, who suggested I purchase the insurance and claim later, I had no choice but to buy their overpriced insurance. Overall, the mandatory insurance purchase and poor attitude strongly suggest avoiding this rental company. 4. They falsely accused me of causing a small scratch on the car's underside. The car swap severely disrupted my trip, so I didn't thoroughly inspect the replacement vehicle. The staff assured me that minor scratches wouldn't matter. However, when returning the car, they found a small scratch underneath and forced me to pay 800 CAD for repairs. Although QEEQ customer service said I could claim this through insurance, the rental company's behavior was appalling. It feels like they use various tactics to extort money from customers. I strongly advise against renting from this company. 5. Staff repeatedly made billing errors when I returned the car. I had pre-paid part of the rental through QEEQ and was supposed to pay the rest on-site. The initial bill included both the rental fee and mandatory insurance. When I mentioned the pre-payment, the staff denied it and claimed the pre-payment was made to QEEQ, not them. After some frustration, they finally discovered I had rented from Right Cars and found my order, confirming my pre-payment. Then, they unexpectedly waived the mandatory insurance fee, contradicting the initial insistence at pickup. This inconsistency and unprofessional behavior are unacceptable. The rental company near Toronto Airport, Right Cars, is extremely unprofessional and has poor customer service. I strongly recommend against renting from them.
