Car rental reviews in Istanbul
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.
Hyundai Accent Sport Sedan in Turkey
It was great and I really enjoyed it
Nissan Qashqai in Turkey
The car is good, picked it up from us at the airport on time, although there was an early departure, for this thank you very much. When we arrived there was a slight delay, the car was not there, I called all the numbers, a little hindered by the language barrier. But everything was solved, thanks to your staff. The service 5, the car 5 If we will be in Turkey again, we will definitely come to you обратимся👍🏻.
Renault Megane Sedan in Turkey
Everything is fine
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.
Opel Corsa in Turkey
I rented a car in Istanbul, the rental price was cheaper than other sites. Everything went well, the car was new with only 2600km of mileage! I recommend!
Ford Focus in Turkey
Basically everything went well: the car was delivered and picked up on time, the registration was quick. The car was excellent, new. It was disappointing that the car was delivered with an empty tank and a low fuel light on. I had to change money at the airport at an unfavorable rate to refuel on the way from the airport to the city. I also had to pay for toll roads when handing over the car - it's normal, but it would be good to bring some printout with expenses, or send it to watsap, not just to name a figure. Thank you!
Ford Courier in Turkey
Everything went perfectly, the car is completely as we wanted in good condition. Delivery and acceptance of the car went very well and quickly! Price-quality - super! The only thing was inconvenient that the issuance manager spoke only Turkish, I had to work a little with the dictionary, and the rest was fine.
Fiat Egea Multijet in Turkey
We ordered a Fiat car, but we got a similar Hyundai Accent with 155000 km of mileage. We were a little worried as we were taking the car for a long trip of 2000 km through the cities of Turkey. However, Hyundai did not let us down - diesel, fast and powerful car in excellent condition, roomy and comfortable - carried 4 people with suitcases through the country. The car cost us very little - 335$ for 12 days + deposit of only 50$. This amount included insurance full CASCO + (from everything in general) and delivery of the car to the hotel and pickup from the hotel (50$). We paid in cash, which is also very convenient for Russians. Be ready that 50$ of deposit will be fully paid for the toll roads and fines. The car is equipped with an electronic toll road pass system - you don't have to pay anything, you pass automatically, the bills come to the rental office. There are small questions about the service - we ordered a car with delivery to the hotel at 9 am. In the evening the manager contacted us on WhatsApp and tried to persuade us to take the car in the evening, as in the morning traffic jams and they will not have time to deliver it by 9. But in the evening we could not take the car, so we agreed on the morning, taking into account the traffic jams - 11 am. As a result, the car was delivered at 1pm. I was in touch with the manager Turan all the time, and it is obvious that the problem of delay is not in traffic - he said that he left the office in our direction only at 10:20 am, although he should have taken into account the traffic and left earlier. Because of the late delivery, our entire travel plan was disrupted and we arrived in Izmir at night. The car was given to us with a blinking gas tank light. But otherwise, the managers are quick to respond on watsapp, answer questions, not nagging when returning the car. Despite some difficulties, I would like to recommend this company, the prices are very nice, the employees are polite and friendly, our car was in excellent condition.
Hyundai Ix20 in Turkey
They gave me another Renault car, a dirty one. When I said I did not order this car so rudely responded if you want to take it do not want another client waiting for another customer sat down and drove away barely returned back from desperation. I will put a review everywhere I can so that no one will take a car from you.
Opel Astra Sedan in Turkey
Everything is fine. I use the second time. Easy choice of car, support works quickly, helped with the choice of car and with payment. The car corresponds to the description, did not disappoint anywhere. All agreed, drove the car to the airport, met with a sign, clearance on the spot for 5 minutes and drove off. Similarly, the delivery of a car, near the entrance to the airport, gave the keys, shook hands and flew
Opel Combo Life in Turkey
Everything was good, except for one moment - when I asked about the photos of the car I was shown one, and when the car was served - it turned out that there is a metal grille, and it was not in the photos that were sent to me.
Fiat Fiorino in Turkey
Everything went well, there were no problems. except that at first we thought that we would have to pay the full amount in rubles, but the lack of this option was not a problem.
