Never rent with Routes YVR

Remember, you get what you pay for! Firstly, the staff's attitude was poor; most of them were Indians and they weren't very patient with Chinese customers, probably because many Chinese customers are not good at English. Secondly, the rental contract process is unlike that of reputable rental companies. Other companies usually have a deposit of $200 and a maximum liability of $700, but here the deposit is $500 and the maximum liability is $3000. Thirdly, they don't show you the contract before you sign it. Normally, a regular store would explain the insurance coverage first, and then let you review the completed contract before signing it. Fourthly, when picking up the car, you must carefully inspect it for any scratches or issues because they won't tell you if there are any problems. If you find issues after taking the car, it will be hard to argue when returning it, and you may face high penalties. I almost got scammed myself, but fortunately, I found two small holes in the windshield before driving away. I asked the staff to note it down, and she reluctantly did so. I pointed out that such damage couldn't have been unknown to her, yet she didn't inform me. This experience taught me to be very cautious when renting a car abroad. Don't try to save a little money at a higher cost; always opt for full insurance.

Was a nice clean car. Got a 2019 KIA Soul which was unexpected but a great little car. Very comfortable had lots of tech and great on fuel. Counter staff were polite and helpful, so was the guy who took me to and inspected the car with me. The price was phenominal. I got full insurance and it worked out to less than $30 a day. I've seen people complain in reviews but I had a great experience. Also I'm more than willing to drive a little further and wait a little bit to get my car for such a great deal. I will definitely use Routes again when I rent a car.

Booking was easy and a great price for the car and the insurance. Will definitely use this platform to book a car rental again.

It took over an hour for us to be collected and then 40 minutes at the desk when we got there. The car I got was not what I ordered. It was a van, not an SUV. But that was the same for everyone. Nobody got what they asked for. Check in was hectic. The car was dirty and didn’t have a full tank. The website of Routes is not understandable.

It was fine.

Will rent again from Routes for my next trip.

Like: Location and shuttle are perfect....no need to rent at airport. This was almost the same experience...without the fancy counter.
Dislike: The airport arrival pickup was not clearly written. I thought I had to walk through the airport rental garage to find shuttle pick up area, when in fact, it was right outside the airport door. I had to call twice to ensireninwas in correct spot. The longest part of the pick-up, was waiting while the agent answered same phone calls over and over. I wasn't the only one confused by the description. Just wait at the shuttle stand, they come frequently!!!
