Satisfied with the quality of the car
Suzuki Celerio in Bulgaria
The car was booked for 10 days, there were no complaints about the car or the company during this period. We took the car at the Sofia airport; by our arrival it was already in the parking lot. The car is new !!! Very economical and compact, which is important for parking in the city. The price, booking conditions and condition of the car were pleasantly different from other rental companies. We rented a car in an office near the center of Sofia.

I'm happy to share my experiences. The overall process was running smoothly. The colleagues were waiting for us at the exit of the airport. The car was in perfect condition exactly as it was pre-established at the website. It was parking next to the terminal. I was informed about all of the aesthetic damages in advance. It was especially comfortable being able to pay by credit card. The return of the car and getting back the deposit was also running smoothly even at a different airport. I was fully satisfied with the service, the company is highly recommended! I'll use their service again when visiting Bulgaria! Best regards, László

The car was replaced by Turan. Yes, it turned out to be a little more spacious. But at the same time more expensive. Apart from this moment, there are no complaints. Thanks!

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
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 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.
