Renault Megane Sedan in Turkey

Rented a Renault Megane for 4 days in Turkey in October 2023 through TakeCars.com The procedure of choosing and ordering a car is simple and clear. The manager was always on call in vatsap, ready to help and answer questions We gave a welcome discount of 3% on the first order by promo code The initial payment of 15% paid in rubles from the Russian card. The rest in cash currency upon receipt of the car. The car was fresh (July 2022gv) with low mileage. Technical inspection was passed the day before the lease, the marks in the passport were present. Spare tire and tools were available. The car on the road did not fail. The procedure of registration of the car took about an hour in the office of the rental company (taking into account the cleaning of the interior of the car). We were given tea and coffee, souvenirs. Impressions from ordering, renting and traveling are the best!

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 Zafira Life in Turkey

Let's start with the fact that I didn't get an Opel Vivaro, there was another minivan, without panorama, without electric door drives. I did not bother to find out where exactly the ordered car was, but accepted what was brought. We were able to accommodate the whole family. From a technical point of view, everything was fine with the car, we received it quite quickly, clean. Handed over a little difficult, in terms of the place where it was planned to transfer, you can not stop. And my friend asked to go to the hotel, which is not possible, because the car on the road is not left, I had to get to the nearest parking lot and there to explain where to go to the receiving person to pick up the car, and I had to pay for the parking lot. The handover was a little bit spoiled the impression, but in general we are satisfied with the car, it is technically sound, the receipt is simple and quick. I wanted the one I ordered with a panorama - it would be great with kids on a long trip.

Renault Clio 5 in Turkey

Emir met us at the airport and took us to the office to sign the contract - it is 8-10 minutes from the airport. The whole procedure took another 10 minutes and we picked up the car. I took a Renault Clio - clean, fresh. It was just right for Istanbul! I rented the car at the same place where I signed the contract. It took no more than 10 minutes. Emir also took us from there to the airport. I am completely satisfied with the service, I recommend it!
