Toyota Yaris in Bulgaria
We rented a car from 20.10.21 13:00 to 23.10.21 17:00 (4 days). Exceptionally positive emotions: - quick pick-up at the airport, the ability to return in another place (returned to the parking lot of the hotel where they stayed before the flight to Burgas) - very fast confirmation (booked at 8am on the day of arrival) - the car is fully consistent with the photo (not an analogue) - favorable rental conditions (we additionally took insurance on the spot) - the deposit of 200 euros was returned immediately after the car was returned - a hybrid car, which is a huge plus, tk. gasoline consumption is very economical - the condition of the new car (very good equipment, many security systems)
Kia Rio in Bulgaria
We ended up getting a Chevy. Everything went great. When ordering it was stated that there was basic insurance, that a deposit could be left by credit card. But it wasn't. Cash only. When we got it we paid 70 euros extra for the insurance. It turned out that there was only third party insurance. But we were exempted from the deposit. It was the first time I ordered on this site. We are often in Bulgaria and hope to use it again.
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
Renault Clio 5 in Bulgaria
everything was OK, the car was good, only one suggestion: phone holder should be in the car or the option for renting one, either way it was OK. Best wishes
Audi A6 in Bulgaria

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.
Toyota Yaris in Bulgaria
Everything was great! We will rent a car there again! The car was new 2000km mileage.
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.
Kia Rio in Bulgaria
They delivered the car which was booked, there were no problems, the car is in good technical condition. All is well thanks
Volkswagen Touran in Bulgaria
In general, everything is fine. The car was delivered on time, extended several times. The condition of the car is satisfactory
Peugeot 208 in Bulgaria
Everything went fine, except that the car was not a Peugeot 208, but an Opel Corsa, but that doesn't matter 🌝. The car is serviceable, the staff is friendly and attentive, pick up and delivery on time and without problems. Thank you!
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.
Toyota Corolla Sedan in Bulgaria
The rental process went very well. The car is very good, the service is excellent. Close to the airport. I was contacted by Viber, agreed on a meeting point, transfer to the rental car park and back to the airport. Thanks a lot. I will use it again next time.
