Everything went great except for the fact that communication with the landlord is only possible in Turkish, a bit inconvenient

Dacia Sandero Stepway in Turkey

I waited for almost 2 hours in the center of Istanbul to hand over my car, while driving around the city, as there is no parking there in principle. At the same time, as agreed 2 hours before arrival, I informed about the time and place of the meeting.

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.
