Renault Clio 5 in Turkey

We were given a Citroen C4 as a replacement car, which was quite an unexpected event for us! The car is both higher in class and more spacious! We were two adults and two children, and the trip from the airport to the resort meant a 4 hour drive! So thank you very much for this surprise! The car is fresh, with low mileage. Very sharp and with optimal gasoline consumption. We were very comfortable! Separately I would like to say that there were no problems with communication with the Turkish side. There was a small misunderstanding at the very beginning of our lease, namely, that all the calculations we corresponded in US dollars, and at the time of signing the documents dollars turned into Euros, which significantly increased the cost of rent in terms of Russian rubles! We had to show the correspondence and prove that the original amount was voiced in USD. We agreed on this and there were no more problems! We will continue to use your services and recommend you to our friends!

Opel Crossland in Turkey

In general, the car is good. But there we waited for a man for 2 hours when receiving the car, they brought the car without a seat. We took the seat with the child in our arms in the car at the other end of Istanbul. We returned the car almost ok - only they did not give the calculation of toll roads, we traveled in three cars (3 families were) the same, and only we were charged 2 times more.

Renault Clio 5 in Turkey

The rental experience turned out to be successful. I got a Hyundai i20 instead of a Renault Clio 5, but I was not disappointed. The acceptance and delivery procedures were prompt and did not cause any complaints. The car was in good technical condition and I was satisfied with its comfort. THANK YOU!

Renault Taliant in Turkey

everything was good: the only thing was that I had to move the time of picking up the car by 2 hours, but they changed the car for me to another one (a little higher class). Surrender was also comfortable. The only disadvantage was that no one at the rental office spoke English, but we figured it out on our fingers).

Renault Clio 5 in Turkey

Emir met us at the airport and took us to the office to sign the contract - it is 8-10 minutes from the airport. The whole procedure took another 10 minutes and we picked up the car. I took a Renault Clio - clean, fresh. It was just right for Istanbul! I rented the car at the same place where I signed the contract. It took no more than 10 minutes. Emir also took us from there to the airport. I am completely satisfied with the service, I recommend it!

Nissan Qashqai in Turkey

The car I booked was not provided as it was in an accident the day before my booking. The car was replaced with a Ford Focus promptly and everything was provided for me by the time I arrived. Everything went well, thank you.

Hyundai Kona in Turkey

Everything went well. I was a bit worried as it was the first time I booked through your website. The car was new, in good condition, and I received it at the airport. And, most importantly, cheaper than other places.

Ford Courier in Turkey

Everything went perfectly, the car is completely as we wanted in good condition. Delivery and acceptance of the car went very well and quickly! Price-quality - super! The only thing was inconvenient that the issuance manager spoke only Turkish, I had to work a little with the dictionary, and the rest was fine.
