Hyundai i20 in Turkey

Everything went very well. Very convenient to rent a car, no delays. Comfortable price, no restrictions on mileage. The only difficulty was that the guys did not speak English, so we had to communicate via google translator from Russian to Turkish and back again.

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!

Opel Crossland in Turkey

Instead of a new mini suv without prior notice they just brought an old sedan to the airport and, most importantly, they did NOT bring a booster or a child seat for the child at all. I had to cancel the rental car :(

Opel Corsa in Turkey

Everything went well. Instead of an Opel Corsa, we were given a more spacious Opel Combo. The car was shabby but in good working order, it did not let us down. We drove from Istanbul to Fethiye and back. We drove about 2500 km. The guys in the office do not speak English at all. But with the help of google-translator and empathy the car was registered. And then we handed it over without any problems. So our impression was quite good.
