Toyota Yaris Ativ in Thailand
On receipt and return of the car everything was fine. But the car itself was not in the best technical condition, the problem was apparently in the gearbox or in the engine in general, the car did not accelerate well, and during a sharp gain of speed you could smell the smell of burning in the cabin. But it did not spoil our trip). I will give 5 out of 5 for the service and 3,5 for the technical condition of the car.

everything went well
Toyota Yaris Ativ in Thailand
Everything went great! I received the car exactly on time, the owner was always in touch, despite a small incident at night on the road (accident), everything was solved promptly. The manager in the office, a girl, unfortunately I do not remember her name, very friendly, sociable, told everything, showed the car, a special thanks to her! The car is in excellent condition, never failed, although we have traveled about 2500 km. Emotions only positive! The company is above all praise!
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
Thank you so much. Everything is super. The car is in excellent condition, tinted all around the excellent film (15% transmittance), at night you can see everything perfectly. Did not let me down. I received it at the airport on arrival in Phuket and handed it over at Phuket airport on departure. I liked everything. I will take more.

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.

Rented a car from this company on Samui and it was a real buzz! 🌟 From the beginning everything was super: friendly staff, fast checkout process and most importantly clean, comfortable and brand new car. 🚗 We drove around Samui without any problems, enjoying the stunning views and perfect climate. 🏝️ We would like to mention the perfect service: the car delivery at the airport, delivery of the car directly to the hotel - everything went smoothly and quickly. And how pleasant it was to return the car without any hidden fees or unpleasant surprises! In general, all impressions from renting a car on Samui are only positive! If you are looking for a reliable partner for traveling around the island - this is definitely your choice! We will be back here many more times. 👍
