Car rental reviews in Istanbul
Renault Megane Sedan in Turkey
Everything went great!!! The car met at the airport at 3am. The car is excellent. Traveled around Turkey. Toll roads paid for when we rented the car in cash. In general, this is the first experience of renting a car and everything went just great! I have already recommended your company to my friends who are planning to fly to Istanbul. Thank you!!!
Fiat Egea in Turkey

Renault Megane Sedan in Turkey
Everything went perfectly, very satisfied
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-
Fiat Egea in Turkey
Everything went exactly as agreed, although we were worried about the lack of prepayment (we do not have a suitable credit card), acceptance / delivery of the car in the specified time and date. In general, we were extremely satisfied with everything - the car and the service!)

Everything went just super! Happy with the cars and service! Thank you!!!
Renault Clio 5 in Turkey
The rental was great, always in touch. I received the car at Istanbul airport in 5 minutes without any problems, and gave it back there in 5 minutes as well. The only nuance I got a Renault Clio 4 generation (also 1.5 diesel), instead of Renault Clio 5 generation, but in general the terms of the lease allows such a change. Despite the fact that the Renault was not the first freshness (2019 year of release) absolutely no problems have not arisen, drove more than 800 km to the Aegean Sea and back , consumption of about 5 liters. Definitely recommend and will use the rental service again in the future. (No deposit, full insurance and unlimited mileage is great). Thank you :)
Dacia Sandero Stepway in Turkey
We were not given a Dacia sandero but an Opel mokka, a higher class car. We brought the car to the address and picked it up at another address which we had changed, the landlord answered all questions and was calm about the other address. The only disadvantage is that at first we refused to take 50$ bills under the pretext that they are more often forged. So we put them in the deposit, which gave us the old 100$ (green). Well and cars provided with a minimum amount of fuel (barely got to the gas station) in an unknown city. And so overall everything went great 9/10
Toyota Corolla Sedan in Turkey
Everything went great! The car was provided on time, delivery too, everything was fast and efficient! The car was in good condition and clean. The feedback is very positive! We will use your services in the future! Thank you very much!
Nissan Qashqai in Turkey
1) transparent pricing on the website 2) convenient prepayment by ruble card / cash on the spot. No international bank cards were required 3) we were given a different car - instead of Kashkay - Opel Grandland (new, 2025). Even a light class upgrade 4) everything is fine with the car, we had a great ride. 5) final payment without any surprises at all - the Turks sent me a screenshot from local state services with my fines (it amounted to 700 liras - pennies). I gave it to them and everything was fine. A slight disadvantage - the Turks who brought / took the car (different people) did not speak English, not a word at all, not even numerals. In Russian, of course, too. But they explained themselves.
Nissan Qashqai in Turkey
Everything was good, the car was clean, in good condition. Only they didn't warn me that I would have to pay extra for the car wash. But they gave the car out before the appointed time for free. Thank you.
Opel Corsa in Turkey
Everything went great, the car was not an Opel Corsa but a Hyundai i20, also a very nice car. And so everything went well.
