Nissan Qashqai in Turkey

Everything it was great expect that the person who delivered me the car and who came back to take it from me did not know English and I couldn’t communicate with him. I needed to speak with someone other from the office.

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.

Opel Combo Life in Turkey

Everything was good, except for one moment - when I asked about the photos of the car I was shown one, and when the car was served - it turned out that there is a metal grille, and it was not in the photos that were sent to me.

Ford Courier in Turkey

Overall an ok experience, however not without local flavor. Given the low prices one can forgive. The car, of course, was different, but OK. They asked me to take it early, I agreed on the condition that they would help me park it (it was in the center of Istanbul). A Turkish-speaking man came, gestured that I had parking problems and left, I had to solve it myself. It was good that there were no problems with the change at the airport.
