Toyota Corolla Altis in Thailand
Everything went well. Receipt, operation and return with no problems. The car is in good condition. Thank you
Toyota Yaris Ativ in Thailand
at the Airport to pickup the car, suddenly I was surprised that I should pay cash for the rest and she did not accept credit card which was for me a big disappointment. You know in Airport to change almost 450€ with low rate is not a good Idea. But the rest was ok and I was happy happy with process.
Honda Jazz in Thailand
They ended up supplying a Handa City at no extra cost 😃 The car was clean and was reliable. It was very economical to run. The handover and return went relatively smoothly - just a few hiccups due to my flight arriving early and when returning, not having a clear description of the place to park the car - most likely my fault for not knowing the airport. The person I was communicating with was very professional and helpful. When I travel to Thailand again next year I will most likely use your website again.

everything went well
Nissan Note in Thailand
Everything's fine! Joey contacted me in advance and asked me to send a photo of my documents. He warned me that it was better to have an international license 👌🏻. He told me that I would be met at the airport with a sign. On the day of arrival I was sent a photo of the person who would meet me and the place of meeting. On arrival, the documents were drawn up, I paid the money for rent and deposit. The deposit was returned to me when I returned the car. Everything was smooth, efficient and no fuss! On the car: the car is clean, well-maintained, in good technical condition! They put a big bottle of water in the car (nice!). Thank you guys! ❤️🤗👍🏻
Toyota Vios in Thailand
It's a little weak. I ordered a Toyota Vios and received a Corolla Altis with over 1 million kilometers. At 100km/h, the whole car started vibrating. Scary car
Toyota Yaris Ativ in Thailand
The car did not match what I booked from the website.
Honda City in Thailand
Excellent, thank you. Everything was top notch. We were met at the airport. All the necessary formalities were completed quickly. The car was well prepared for rental. No complaints about its technical condition. The rental ends just as quickly. I recommend it. I'll be booking the next arena too.
Toyota Vios in Thailand
I ended up getting a different car than the one on the website. The model is the same, but the car is clearly not 2018, but much, much older. But at least it was in good condition and did its job. Just had to put up with inconveniences like an ancient oak steering wheel or the inability to connect the phone
Honda CR-V in Thailand
I would like to leave my review. I rented a car for 25 days, drove 3550 km all over Thailand. I received the car at Bangkok airport and handed it over there. There were no problems when I received the car and when I handed it in. I liked everything , I would recommend to use their services . My rating is 5 out of 5 !
Toyota Yaris Ativ in Thailand
The car was different, but it was also a Yaris and generally normal. Everything worked, nothing broke down, although the mileage of the car is almost 258 thousand kilometers. We traveled with pleasure and everything suited us. Thank you.
Honda Civic in Thailand
I’m strongly dissatisfied about rental car company. I ordered Honda Civic 2020 two months ago and company representative said the last car we had is Toyota Corolla Atlas. He gave me a parking ticket, showed me the car inside the airport parking pool. He gave me a ticket and left immediately, so I must pay 50TBH for parking. Everything is bad
Toyota Yaris Ativ in Thailand
Everything went great! Very convenient website, we quickly found the option that suited us and placed the order, very cool that you can make a prepayment by card on the site. The order was processed quickly and the guys who were supposed to deliver the car wrote to us on WhatsApp. A very nice guy and a girl came, we looked at the car, recorded all the existing damage on video. On the spot the guys gave us something like a contract and kept one copy, talked through all the terms and conditions and communicated very politely. We were happy to drive around the island the same day and a few days later they asked for confirmation of the car. Everything was super prompt and the contract was honored by both parties, so we were very pleased with everything, thank you very much!
