Rent a Fiat Egea

I left an application for a Fiat, but the lessor provided a Renault symbol citing the fact that it is the same. Naturally, there was no time to argue and we had to take it. Everything would have gone well, if one day the battery did not die when we were on a distant beach. We pushed the car to the nearest restaurant where, to our luck, there was an English-speaking employee. He summoned one of his friends with a car and they gave us a light. As the proceedings showed - the battery died due to opening the car door with the key (although the landlord insisted that I had forgotten to turn off the headlights - even if that was true, what kind of battery must the car have if it died in an hour with the headlights on)? Well the process of returning the car took a long time - waiting for it in the parking lot. good thing we weren't late for our flight

everything is good! The only thing on the car violated or camber or wheel balancing, vibration on the body and steering wheel beats at speeds above 90, but I rarely with such a drive, so I did not interfere much. And so everything is normal, everything was satisfactory

Everything went well, met at the airport and took the car back on time. The car did not let us down - it was technically in good working order. There were no problems.

We've had a change of departure time. Perhaps because of this, instead of a 2022 gasoline car, I was given a rather old diesel car. I was with my family, my wife and daughter were tired after the flight, and my eldest daughter had been waiting for us in Antalya for more than a day. So, hoping that the car was technically sound, I did not insist on a replacement and accepted what was provided. Unfortunately it was wrong. The car turned out to be technically defective. On the first day, on the way from Antalya to Fethiye, I noticed that the engine was warming up on long climbs. I did not pay much attention to it - I thought that diesel engines have such a peculiarity. In Fethiye we did not travel long distances, so we did not experience any inconveniences, except that the car is old and all beaten up, scratched and not particularly presentable. Before returning we decided to spend one day in the town of Kash. And on the way from Kaş to Antalya we found ourselves in a very unpleasant situation. Now I realize that we were given a car with a faulty cooling system, and antifreeze just flowed out when the car moved "face" up. There are almost no flat streets in Kasha - the car was parked overnight on an uphill slope - it probably leaked a lot overnight. And the rests of coolant when driving on serpentine roads ended by the town of Finike, where we stood up with overheated engine. Imagine our condition: the time is 10.00, our eldest daughter has a flight at 14.00, we are on a broken car in a non-tourist place where no one speaks English. The representative of the rental company does not get in touch. My daughter had to send to the airport by cab (and this is not a cheap pleasure - I think she gave something about 100 euros). And we are not clear what to do. Well helped some local Turk - prompted and helped to buy antifreeze. Then I refilled water all the way to drive. The representative of the company, taking the car, in a rude manner refused to compensate us for any expenses, saying that we broke the car, which is not true. I have a video - in what condition we took it - there was no new damage there. And the very nature of the fault says that it is due to poor technical condition - you can damage the bottom part and then all the coolant would be poured out. And since some of the fluid under normal conditions remained in the system, the damage is somewhere inside. And not because of my actions, but because of wear and lack of maintenance. All in all - I don't recommend it to anyone in particular. I had a flight out the next day, so I was able to return this car in Antalya. If we were all flying out at the same time, I would have had to leave it as is. I can't imagine what consequences that would have had for me.
