C’était bien. Sauf que l’on a payé pour des pneus d’hiver (nous demeurons au Québec) et c’était des pneus 4saisons (plaque de l’Ontario). C’est décevant!

Pick up and drop off service in both Ottawa and Downtown Toronto was great. Both members of staff were very helpful. It was quite expensive but the staff and ease of the process made it worth it. You don't usually get that level of service in my experience when renting cars.

Avoid renting from Routes Car & Truck Rentals in Ottawa. The pricing is not worth it. There will be hidden and questionable fees. The location is not convenient, so once you’re there, you have little options to make other arrangements. They will not honour pricing from web bookings, they’ll tell you to figure it out with the service you booked through and that you should have read their terms and conditions. Horrible customer service and business tactics. I opted to not take the rental and go back to the airport to rent from a reputable rental company. Look at their Google reviews, you will notice a common thread. Buyers beware.

The young lady the helped us was excellent. I believe her name was Mariam. The only thing that would help would be to be able to supply or buy a map of Ontario and perhaps Quebec. We rented it in Ottawa and bought it back to Ottawa. We would of preferred to have dropped it off in Toronto but the drop off charge was horrendous. thank you

We had to insist on checking the car conditions in our presence at drop off like we did for pickup. Else the practice is to do it later on and send the observations to the customer by emails.

I arrived at the rental location at Ottawa International Airport with a Quebec driver's license and an Ontario health card. The employee there told me that because I had a Quebec driver's license, I needed 3 photo IDs and 2 phone numbers to rent. This is ridiculous because I have used my Quebec license to rent cars from airports in Montreal, Toronto, and Boston without issue. There was also no warning about this before I arrived at the airport. This forced my partner to also take an Uber to the airport to bring my passport, and so we departed more than an hour late and spent extra money on transit to the airport. They also told us that because we left at 5 p.m. in stead of 4 p.m., we'd be able to return the car at 5 p.m. instead of 4 without extra charges. But the contract they sent still said a 4 p.m. return time.

The car wasn’t ready when we arrived but it was fine. The chap in the office was pretty good, got friendlier as we were there longer. He helped us out with our insurance and we were off. They offered to drive us back to the hotel after we returned the car but then reneged the offer and left us at a local Walmart. Not great …

I booked a dodge challenger but given a ford escape. The ford interior had not been vacuumed and had dirt and food debris in the console/gear shift. The exterior of the vehicle had not been washed and the windshield was covered with dead bugs. However, the drop-off at Toronto Pearson Airport was smooth and efficient

I made the purchase on the Kayak website for 180.00 when picking up the car at Avis the amount charged was 380.00 ..... a real naughty thing. A real steal. As I was at the last minute to go to the airport, I could not rent the car elsewhere. I've been robbed...

It should have been made clear that off site pick up was to avoid the Airport surtax. This was not a problem and solved by a short taxi ride.

The car was very clean and comfortable, rode very smoothly and quietly. I appreciated the fact that I did not have to return it to the downtown location but could leave it at the airport when I leave. Saves much time and effort when leaving on an early morning flight. The price quoted was very competitive. I will probably use Kayak again when I rent my next vehicle.
