Car rental reviews in Istanbul
Nissan Qashqai in Turkey
Instead of a Nissan they gave me an old henday solaris. My review is the worst! The car did not match the ordered
Fiat Egea Multijet in Turkey
We ordered a Fiat car, but we got a similar Hyundai Accent with 155000 km of mileage. We were a little worried as we were taking the car for a long trip of 2000 km through the cities of Turkey. However, Hyundai did not let us down - diesel, fast and powerful car in excellent condition, roomy and comfortable - carried 4 people with suitcases through the country. The car cost us very little - 335$ for 12 days + deposit of only 50$. This amount included insurance full CASCO + (from everything in general) and delivery of the car to the hotel and pickup from the hotel (50$). We paid in cash, which is also very convenient for Russians. Be ready that 50$ of deposit will be fully paid for the toll roads and fines. The car is equipped with an electronic toll road pass system - you don't have to pay anything, you pass automatically, the bills come to the rental office. There are small questions about the service - we ordered a car with delivery to the hotel at 9 am. In the evening the manager contacted us on WhatsApp and tried to persuade us to take the car in the evening, as in the morning traffic jams and they will not have time to deliver it by 9. But in the evening we could not take the car, so we agreed on the morning, taking into account the traffic jams - 11 am. As a result, the car was delivered at 1pm. I was in touch with the manager Turan all the time, and it is obvious that the problem of delay is not in traffic - he said that he left the office in our direction only at 10:20 am, although he should have taken into account the traffic and left earlier. Because of the late delivery, our entire travel plan was disrupted and we arrived in Izmir at night. The car was given to us with a blinking gas tank light. But otherwise, the managers are quick to respond on watsapp, answer questions, not nagging when returning the car. Despite some difficulties, I would like to recommend this company, the prices are very nice, the employees are polite and friendly, our car was in excellent condition.
Hyundai Bayon in Turkey
everything went smoothly, good car, great service, I’ll be happy to rent again through your website
Fiat Egea in Turkey
The rental is okay, but the machine itself is crap. My chainsaw has a more powerful engine. The car slows down on the highway, even on a slight hill.
Dacia Jogger in Turkey
We liked everything. There were no problems at all. So we will probably come to you in the future.
Fiat Egea in Turkey
everything went well. When returning I had to wait for a person, this is critical if you are late for a flight
Fiat Egea in Turkey
Everything went well, I was met at the airport, taken to the office where all the documents were drawn up. The car was the same as we had booked, in good condition. There were two things that we did not like very much. First: the car had no fuel at all, we had to look for a gas station. The second: when we handed over the car we were charged 300 lira for travel on toll roads, but the bill for them did not show. According to our data, we had to pay 150 liras for the toll roads. For us these are insignificant trifles. If we need a car in Turkey - we will turn to you, rating 5-
Opel Mokka in Turkey
Everything went great. The car was brought to my hotel at the agreed time and was picked up at the airport in time when I handed the car in. The car was in perfect condition, low mileage, clean inside and out.
Renault Megane Sedan in Turkey
Everything went well in general, only together Megane got Focus and the car was 2 hours late for delivery. But the reception was great, thanks to the receptionist, he drove us to the hotel.
Skoda Scala in Turkey
Everything went well. We received the car clean and in the time specified in the voucher. The only disadvantage was that the voucher stated that the car had a diesel engine, but in fact it was a gasoline engine. We found out about it only at the gas station, when the gas station attendant showed us that the car was gasoline-powered according to the documents.
Fiat Fiorino in Turkey
On the plus side, they gave me a slightly higher class car, but it was a gasoline, not a diesel. On the downside, they didn't want to accept my debit card for a deposit, they argued for half an hour and tried to impose their own insurance. In the end they took a deposit of 200 euros in cash. If there was no cash deposit, they probably refused.
Opel Corsa in Turkey
Everything was fine, no problems at all.
Peugeot 508 in Turkey
