Car rental reviews in Istanbul
Opel Astra Sedan in Turkey
Good afternoon. We rented a car from 03/05/2022 for 15 days. Due to the unstable situation in the world and the cancellation of flights from March 8, we had to interrupt the rental. We were promised that we would be able to continue renting a car on our next vacation. For 2 days of rent, everything went for us, as if in a dream, we did not have time to understand and feel what happened to us. A wonderful tour was planned throughout Turkey. The car was picked up and dropped off at the airport. Everything is clear, on time, without delay. See you soon

Audi Q2 in Turkey
1. They gave me a Kia sportage instead of an Audi 2. I had to pay 150 bucks more. 3. They didn't speak English at all 4. The car in general was ok, although the mileage is high. 5. They did not give me a normal printout of prices for the toll roads in Turkey, I probably overpaid.

Fiat Egea Multijet in Turkey
First of all, I want to say a big thank you! The only service that we managed to find, with the possibility of paying with a Russian prepaid card and a cash deposit in the current situation in the world, thank you for keeping the opportunity for everyone to travel without barriers! Renting a car left mixed feelings. Starting with the late service representative in the rental car for an hour, but by a happy coincidence, our flight was also delayed by 40 minutes. Secondly, on the site we booked a car on diesel, arrived on gasoline. We were pleased that despite the complete lack of knowledge of the English language of the service representative, friends or colleagues of this representative spoke to us in Russian on the phone. The journey turned out to be truly magical thanks to the car. I managed to visit many places, enjoy the local driving style, so to speak, immerse myself completely in Turkish culture. Unlimited mileage has become the main parameter when choosing a service, and here it is included in car rental, you didn’t have to pay anything extra. The car itself is in good condition, it was a pleasure to drive. With pleasure we will use your services many, many more times when we are in Turkey, thank you!!! Thank you very much for the excellent service and development of tourism in your amazing country!

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! The only thing that was not according to the plan - took a deposit upon receipt, but returned without problems.
Ford Courier in Turkey
Overall an ok experience, however not without local flavor. Given the low prices one can forgive. The car, of course, was different, but OK. They asked me to take it early, I agreed on the condition that they would help me park it (it was in the center of Istanbul). A Turkish-speaking man came, gestured that I had parking problems and left, I had to solve it myself. It was good that there were no problems with the change at the airport.
Opel Crossland in Turkey
In general, everything is fine, we were given another car, Renault, I do not remember what kind, scratched all around, with expired TO, drove normally, too many intermediaries, during registration there was a confusion with the deposit. Hirer decided in our favor
