Ford Focus in Turkey

Well, in general, the car was not the one that was booked, they gave Hyundai accent instead of Ford focus, for some reason it seems to me that it is of a lower class than the focus, if I knew that they would replace it, I would not have booked it, but because I had to leave already , I had to take an accent, but everything is fine! The tires were from different manufacturers and with different patterns on the same axle at the back, not entirely critical of course, we drove normally, but still, this is not up to standard

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.

Opel Grandland X in Turkey

The car was replaced after booking, given a Hyundai Bayon. Although the car was not old in terms of mileage, but it felt very different. The amount of the contract included a second driver, but it was not included in the contract. Good that this issue was resolved with the rental office remotely

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.
