Car rental reviews in Istanbul
Nissan Qashqai in Turkey
Instead of a Nissan they gave me an old henday solaris. My review is the worst! The car did not match the ordered
Opel Mokka in Turkey
Thank you very much to Devrim for providing the car. The car was delivered to the hotel on time, inspection and clearance took 15 minutes, same for return. The Opel mokka was a 2025 with 4000km mileage. Toll roads were paid when returning the car.
Hyundai i20 in Turkey
Everything was good, I liked it, no regrets, I advise everyone to rent from you!
Opel Combo Life in Turkey
After ordering Opel Combo and the first installment we were informed that there were problems with this car and offered Opel Zafira. I agreed, as there is such a model for 5 seats. At the airport we were brought to 9 seats, which I was just shocked. We were 2 with my wife. But I had to take her. Everything went well. Only we overpaid for everything - in parking lots, on the highway for the size of the car, for gasoline consumption.
Citroen C3 in Turkey
Everything was fine, thank you.
Dacia Lodgy in Turkey
We are very grateful to your company for the car, this is the third time we booked with you. Simple and convenient system in the transfer of the car and it is very important that the delivery of the car is also prompt and comfortable for us! Mohammed Mustafa Diri is very friendly and customer-oriented, which can not please every customer! Thank you again for the upgrade of the car! We will definitely come back to you specifically! 🤝
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
Opel Zafira Life in Turkey
The rental of the Opel Zafira has gone very well. We didn't have any problems. Greetings
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 Megane Sedan in Turkey
basically everything went well, the only thing is that, not very willingly the driver who took us to pick up the car from the airport, spoke English, but everything else is basically good, and also, the car was not very clean, but in general, the value for money, I was satisfied with everything.
Fiat Egea in Turkey
Everything went fine.
Opel Astra Sedan in Turkey
Everything went great except for the fact that communication with the landlord is only possible in Turkish, a bit inconvenient
Fiat Egea Multijet in Turkey
Everything went fine. The car was handed over on time and received on time.
