Toyota Rav4 in Bulgaria
Everything is fine, I will use again.
Renault Symbol in Bulgaria
Everything was amazing! Many thanks! We will contact you next time :)
Toyota C-HR in Bulgaria
There are no comments regarding the car. Regarding what I asked to cross borders to Turkey, I was provided with exit documents, but not all because of this my entry to Turkey was rejected and the money was not returned. As I understand it, when you order a service, it must be completed, otherwise a refund. What hasn't been done.
Citroen C3 in Bulgaria
All in all, everything is good. But the landlord for the last 3 days of the rental changed the car to another, older and on gasoline, not diesel. He explained it by the fact that Citroen C3 had to be transferred to another client. Well and the car broke down for about 4 days in the middle of the lease, the replacement was given an older and gasoline, not diesel.
Renault Symbol in Bulgaria
Renault de facto, the car is weak, a little tired, but clean. The courier is well done, although he was late, there are no complaints, he even changed money. But in general, the car did not disappoint, no breakdowns, thanks! This is the first time I've rented
Opel Zafira in Bulgaria
everything was fine. The car is tired, but for such a cost the condition is adequate. From minuses, it is absolutely impossible to make overtaking, on the third gear gas in the floor and it alas did not accelerate.
Volkswagen Touran in Bulgaria
the rental went well thanks! We had no problems with the car. Pick up and drop off were smooth.
Mitsubishi Colt in Bulgaria

Toyota Yaris in Bulgaria
I was very pleased with the car rental. The car was in excellent technical condition. The paperwork took a matter of minutes. Receipt and return of the Car went without problems and delays. I am currently renting a car in Montenegro through your website.
Toyota Yaris Cross in Bulgaria
Everything is perfect. I am very satisfied with the service and the car. I extended the lease for another month:) I will recommend to all my friends to rent a car through you. Thank you
Opel Zafira in Bulgaria
We were very satisfied. The car is in good condition. It is also important that the car owner has insurance, which greatly reassures the tenant in a foreign country.
Toyota Yaris in Bulgaria
Everything was great! We will rent a car there again! The car was new 2000km mileage.
Toyota Yaris in Bulgaria
Once again I was satisfied with the car rental. Getting a car at the airport was organized at the highest level. Documentation took a minimum of time. The technical condition of the car did not cause any complaints. There were no problems during the entire rental period. The return process was also quick and hassle-free. I recommend car rental from this company to everyone. Next time I will also use the services of this landlord!
