Ford Focus in Turkey

Everything went great. If I am in Istanbul again, I will do it again. We got a megane instead of a focus. But in general it was not a problem. The car is good.

Everything went well, there were no problems. except that at first we thought that we would have to pay the full amount in rubles, but the lack of this option was not a problem.

Renault Megane Sedan in Turkey

Everything went great!!! The car met at the airport at 3am. The car is excellent. Traveled around Turkey. Toll roads paid for when we rented the car in cash. In general, this is the first experience of renting a car and everything went just great! I have already recommended your company to my friends who are planning to fly to Istanbul. Thank you!!!

Renault Megane Sedan in Turkey

It didn't go well with my lease! They charged me a lot of extra money before I turned the car in. For the car wash was one. I drove on toll roads, then I was shown a receipt of payment, I agreed to it. Next, they said that most likely you were somewhere else, and that the system displays it after 3 days. and that because these charges are not yet in the system, you have to pay double the price. This is their way of insuring that they don't have new accruals coming to them in a couple of days. My arguments and timing that in the system find all the payment points that I crossed they did not take!

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.

Renault Megane Sedan in Turkey

There was an accident Not my fault before entering the parking lot of the rental company. And in this regard, the employees of the company took 1000 dollars from me and did not fill out the European protocol. In fact, they performed fraudulent actions. no checks issued

Hyundai Bayon in Turkey

The price was cheaper than in other places. There were no problems during the delivery and handing over of the car. There was one technical problem with a flat tire, but it was solved safely.
