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 Yaris Ativ in Thailand
instead of a 20 year Toyota they brought a 2013 Nissan Almera to the airport, they said the Toyota had been in an accident, we had to take it because it was New Year holidays, high season, there was no replacement, we drove the whole rental period, we were worried that the car would break down, because it jerked every time we started driving, everything was fine. Please note that this lessor may not supply the machines that are declared, we are satisfied with the work of your service, feedback was given, we will apply again.

Toyota Camry in Thailand
Everything went well. They contacted me in advance via whats app, met me at the airport and handed me the car. Everything was fine with the car, and they even gave me a slightly better configuration than we had planned. There were no problems with the handover, I handed it over in 5 minutes in the departure sector. In short, everything is ok, thank you!
Honda City in Thailand
Everything was excellent, the car was served at the airport, full tank, clean interior, the car in perfect technical condition, drove it 3500 km without any problems. The air conditioner was refueled. Acceptance and issuance of the car took 10 minutes in total. The deposit was also returned without any problems
Toyota Yaris Ativ in Thailand
Overall 3 with a minus. The car was given class C instead of rented A. The condition of the car is normal, although it is definitely worth to undergo service, as the suspension rattled, the wheels are unbalanced, there was an impression that they will fly off to the sides at speeds over 100 km/h. Several things marred the rental: 1. When renting the car was transferred to the paid parking lot of the airport, on my question whether it is necessary to pay for parking the girl said No problem. At the exit it turned out that the parking lot must be paid -150 baht. 2. Return the car should be with a full tank. The contract does not specify penalties for an empty tank. On the way to the airport was nowhere to refuel, and the tank was at the end of the trip a quarter. Well, I think, I will pay for a full tank of 1500 baht and that's the end of it. But they started demanding 2000 from me. Why what - just give me 2000. I had in the dates was 1700 - I say take 1700 is still more than the cost of the tank. They are not in what kind of like go to the direction or 2000. The woman who took the car did not understand English. In general the result - I exchanged the money at an unfavorable rate and gave them 2000. The manager started to teach me what to do to avoid wasting their time. The main claim that the fine and the amount of the fine is not written in the contract. So it was taken from the ceiling.

everything went very well, I was eligible for the upgrade. But they still asked me for a $100 deposit for a tiny scratch on a bumper that wasn't new, luckily I was able to bargain it down to $50 but I honestly think the deposit was requested because of the upgrade

I have rented a car twice from your site and both times everything was great! The prices are also reasonable. The only thing I would suggest is that car owners clearly state their insurance policies. During my second rental I got a small scratch on the alloy wheel and they charged me 1000 baht. To be honest I was not too happy about it. It should have been covered by insurance, even with basic coverage. I didn't even know how I got that scratch, maybe from stones bouncing off the road.
Honda City in Thailand
Once again on arrival in sunny Thailand I used car rental services. At the request was booked a car Honda City, but a few days I was contacted by JOWI and informed that there is a problem with the ordered car, was offered a car of the same class, to do nothing agreed. The car itself on inspection turned out to be with a lot of cosmetic damage (which of course we fixed in the inspection report), but the technical condition of the car 100 points, we drove 5000 km for a month and the car did not deliver nikah problems. JOWI himself was always on the phone and was ready to provide the necessary assistance in case of need. The car was handed over without any problems, the process of receiving and handing over the car took a total of 15 minutes with filling out all the documents. If you want to relax and not to have problems with the car, be sure to contact. Two years in a row we use .
