Car rental reviews in Istanbul
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.
Fiat Egea Multijet in Turkey
We were not very satisfied. We waited for a car for about 1.5 hours. We were given a car that was not what we had ordered, it was killed, the car shook at speeds of over 100 km.
Hyundai Bayon in Turkey
everything went great. They gave me a higher class car, Renault Megane, which I really liked. The car is excellent. They gave it to me at the airport, which was very convenient.

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:)
Fiat Fiorino in Turkey
happy, overall. Was an uncomfortable episode, ended with AdBlu. There was a suspicion that it wasn't primed beforehand.

I am very pleased with your service. The car was clean and new, without any defects in both bodywork and mechanical parts.
Renault Taliant in Turkey
Overall I liked the service. Practically everything was as described on the website. The only thing was that there were some problems with the car we booked. We were offered another one, with a small additional payment. In the end, I was satisfied with the rental.

Everything went perfectly. We were met at the airport quickly, the documents were processed quickly, on the day of the car delivery we are especially grateful for the detailed instructions on how to get to the place of car return at the airport - so thank you very much, when we are in Turkey again we will definitely use your services! And of course we will recommend you to everyone as we have many friends and acquaintances who are planning trips to Turkey.
Renault Clio 5 in Turkey
Pros: 1) The car is the one I chose. 2) It was delivered on time. 3) Checkout took little time. 4) Traveled all the way without incident. Cons: 1) Dirty windshield from inside, which made driving at night difficult. 2) Empty tank initially. 3) Employee didn't have change from a $300 bill even though I texted in advance. 4) Left rear tire was flat a third of the way down . 5) Right rear right strut is knocking. 6) Pads in calipers squeak. 7) The steering wheel is squeaky. 8) Dirty seats.
Opel Zafira Life in Turkey
Everything went perfectly! The car was delivered to SAW on time. They took us to the nearest normal gas station. There everything was inspected and signed. I filled up. And then we were picked up in the same time in the boarding area at SAW. Very convenient! Thank you very much! (Alas there are no photos of the car and us against the background of the car, we are not interested in such photos and therefore we do not have them, but the car was in full shape, according to the description). I recommend booking!
Mercedes-Benz C180 in Turkey
The vehicle is not as advertised. I took it for 8 days in June 2025. Drove it from Antalya to Fethiye. The year of production of the car is not 2023 but 2018. Mileage is about 130 t.km. The car was beaten up and done badly. The mounts of the left headlight are soldered, shine because of this into the ground - it is impossible to drive in the evening, you can't see anything. Under the hood is dirtier than in a pigsty. The air ducts are covered with tape. The engine is covered in oil and bonnet. We drove it to Fethiye. There Check Engine lit up, after which she lost 50% of power. We thought we would never go back. In general, I do not recommend it.
Renault Clio 5 in Turkey
everything was very good.
