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 C-HR in Bulgaria
Everything is super! Fast, clear. They came, took me to the office, handed me the documents and the car. Picked up the car just as quickly, no problems. Thank you
Toyota Aygo in Bulgaria
Everything was very easy and they are super flexible. I arrived and picked up the car later, and later returned it later and then went to fill it up, all was okay. The staff was very good. Definitely recommend! The only thing I made a remark about is the child seat. It is old and not very cozy. Not critical, but in Bulgaria everything is cheap, you can buy something new for sure. Thanks!
Peugeot 208 in Bulgaria
Satisfied with the quality of the car
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.
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)
