Toyota Fortuner in Thailand
The rental went well, though they gave a slightly older version of the car
Nissan Note in Thailand
The service was very good. The car was provided, to put it mildly, in bad condition. The day before the car was returned, the car started to vibrate terribly, as if the wheel would fly off, we had to rebuild the whole last day. And so - met, everything was transferred, the manager was in touch, on the last day rented us a hotel near the airport. So I can say that the system itself is well organized, from booking to return, but the car - just terrible. Moreover, I took several times cars from privateers, the cars were old by years, but serviceable technically. And here they just provided a murdered version. Therefore, I will put 4
Toyota Veloz in Thailand
Everything went great
Toyota Vios in Thailand
Rental went great, easy to use website, very nice car. The drop off was excellent as well. When we picked up the car at the airport we had to wait quite a long time (40 minutes) for it to go through the traffic, maybe we should change the logistics or the place of delivery.
Honda Jazz in Thailand
Everything is awesome.
Toyota Yaris Ativ in Thailand
It went well.
Nissan Note in Thailand
Everything went great for us. The car never failed, I received and returned the car at the office. There were no problems or delays. I was surprised that the 1.2l engine was enough for any hill. The trunk is quite roomy.
Toyota Yaris Ativ in Thailand
Everything went great, thank you.
Toyota Yaris Ativ in Thailand
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

It's all good.
Toyota Veloz in Thailand
We rented a Toyota Veloz in Thailand at Suvarnabhumi Airport. We rented a car for 6 people, so we needed a seven-seater. We spent a few days in Pattaya, then moved to Koh Chang. In general, everything went well, we did not cause any damage to the environment and the car.😁 At the airport we were met by a representative of the company in the place where agreed and on time, handed us the car, signed the contract. I would like to warn future car renters at Suvarnabhumi airport: very serious traffic and complicated junctions, it will be very difficult without a lot of driving experience. We got lost both when we were leaving and when we were driving back. Google navigator shows the junctions not accurately, Yandex is lost in space. I recommend to see the junctions in advance in Google or on video somewhere. There are no special remarks on the car, mileage 24000 km, the engine 1,5 liter is weak for a seven-seater. On a smooth road goes 90-110 km/h normally, further does not pull. On Koh Chang the roads are mountain serpentine, it is very hard to drive uphill with 6 people, we had to turn off the air conditioner to overcome the rises. But the fuel consumption of the car on the highway is about 5l/100 km. In general, if you want to drive in the mountains, you should take something more powerful, if the road is more or less level, this car, as an option for 6 people will do. The day before the return I called the representative of the company, agreed on the time and place of meeting (on the 4th floor of Suvarnabhumi airport at the departure hall. The representative met us, inspected the car, returned the deposit. We would like to thank the company representative and TakeCars staff for the opportunity to rent the car. Thank you!
