Peugeot 5008 in Turkey

Everything went well, the car was brought on time, they were normal about the change of airport and time of car delivery due to problems with departure from Russia The car itself was in good condition, clean, everything was fine, they accepted the car without any problems and gave us a ride to the hotel. One minor disadvantage 1) we had a fine and had to pay it after we left, which was inconvenient to do from Russia. It was very cool that the guys were always in touch and went to meet us.

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-

Renault Taliant in Turkey

Overall I liked the service. Practically everything was as described on the website. The only thing was that there were some problems with the car we booked. We were offered another one, with a small additional payment. In the end, I was satisfied with the rental.

Opel Corsa in Turkey

had another car, a Hyundai. In general, everything was fine. But the man who met us did not have change and I had to look several times to change or change money. In the end I had to go back to the airport and stand in line for inspection. At the same time, I had the amount and without change minus a thousand rubles, we offered to pay it later, he did not agree. It took probably an hour to find it.

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.
