Hyundai Bayon in Turkey

Everything went just fine. Excellent service. - Convenient drop off (I got the car near the airport) - very convenient drop-off (the car was picked up just at the arrival line). If you can keep it, it's a competitive advantage: not only to hand over, but also to hand over cars - very convenient. Good luck and development of your service!

Citroen Berlingo in Turkey

Everything went great! The car was good, did not let us down anywhere. Convenient for us rental conditions without mileage limitation, as we traveled from Istanbul to Cappadocia. We made prepayment from Russia with a Russian bank card, it was a determining factor when booking in advance. Thank you for your service! If necessary, we will gladly use your services again).

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!

it wasn't a Peugeot, it was a Fiat. And the fact that the trunk of the car did not open created a lot of problems for us!
