Car rental reviews in Istanbul
Fiat Fiorino in Turkey
Everything went well, convenient, fast. Thank you
Fiat Egea Multijet in Turkey
I bought a car through this company in November 2025. No deposit, no credit cards, I paid cash on the spot. When I didn't have time to rent the car, I had no problem extending the rental for another day just by paying extra for an extra day. They say that they have both hull and hull insurance coverage (there was no case to check, and it is good). When I rented the car, they did not check for scratches. I got the car, which I chose, mileage is only 17 thousand, everything worked, clean, comfortable. Transponder built in, we drove on toll roads, drove in the lane for transponders. Then, when we turned the car in, we just paid for the tolls. On the downside, there was no phone holder and no usb socket for charging into the cigarette lighter. But they are almost never and no one has them. You have to take them with you. The car is given with an empty tank, but in the new airport, where we took it, the gas station is right at the exit from the parking lot (though you need lira - my Belarusian visa and mastercard did not work). I am very happy that I found this company, I will use it myself and recommend it to my friends.

Fiat Egea in Turkey
Everything went well, I liked the car.
Skoda Scala in Turkey
Everything went well. We received the car clean and in the time specified in the voucher. The only disadvantage was that the voucher stated that the car had a diesel engine, but in fact it was a gasoline engine. We found out about it only at the gas station, when the gas station attendant showed us that the car was gasoline-powered according to the documents.
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).
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
Dacia Sandero Stepway in Turkey
It was a pleasure doing business with you! We arrived at the appointed time, Ure provided us with the contract, and the car. The car is nice, clean inside and out, well maintained. Ure showed us the faults of the car and fixed everything in the report. Thank you for this service. We are satisfied with everything:)
