Car rental reviews in Istanbul
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.
Ford Focus in Turkey
Everything went well Manager Salih is a friendly person, special thanks to him!!! We will rent from them
Opel Corsa in Turkey
We liked it very much, they gave us a new car for the agreed price, better than planned. We were met at the airport, the car was picked up, we were given a ride to the entrance. Good service, we will contact again!
Fiat Egea in Turkey
everything was fine.
Citroen C3 in Turkey
Everything was great in terms of organization. The car was worth the money
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 Mokka in Turkey
Everything went great. The car was brought to my hotel at the agreed time and was picked up at the airport in time when I handed the car in. The car was in perfect condition, low mileage, clean inside and out.
Fiat Egea Multijet in Turkey
When renting through your website I was pleasantly surprised by the prices and terms on insurance and no mileage restrictions. I ordered from you for the first time. I was met on arrival promptly, communicating in English. I was surprised that I had to pay for the rental only in dollars in cash. I was planning to pay by card in lira at the exchange rate. I thought the checkout would be in the office and they would accept cards. To my luck I had a small amount of dollars and euros with me, and this money was enough to pay for the rent The car was given to me clean, but without gasoline. But the manager immediately explained how to fill up at the nearest gas station. Two days before the end of the lease, I had an unpleasant incident on the trip - the rear wheel squeaked. It was scary to move around, as the squeaking was most likely related to the brakes of the car. The manager did not provide any support. He just sent a phone number. I understood it was a service. But this number was not spoken neither in English nor in Russian. So I could not describe the problem on the phone. I sent a video and a description of the problem to the manager via WhatsApp. He himself did not deal with this issue. At my own risk I drove down the highway to return the car. Fortunately I got there and returned the car, I hope it will be serviced before handing it over to another client. When handing over the car at the airport, the manager had to pay for the toll roads. This amount they said could be paid from the card. But the manager did not have a terminal with him and he took my card and just dictated all the digits and secret code from the card and I was charged remotely. This procedure is not safe at all, I didn't like it very much either

Ford Courier in Turkey
Went smooth and already forgotten. Thank you Good car, Friendly person gave it out and took it in The only thing if you want to improve: at the time of ordering, faster and clearer confirmation of it with a brief description of when and what will happen. In the beginning, after a partial prepayment it was assumed that I was cheated 😊
Opel Corsa in Turkey
