Fiat Egea Multijet in Turkey
First of all, I want to say a big thank you! The only service that we managed to find, with the possibility of paying with a Russian prepaid card and a cash deposit in the current situation in the world, thank you for keeping the opportunity for everyone to travel without barriers! Renting a car left mixed feelings. Starting with the late service representative in the rental car for an hour, but by a happy coincidence, our flight was also delayed by 40 minutes. Secondly, on the site we booked a car on diesel, arrived on gasoline. We were pleased that despite the complete lack of knowledge of the English language of the service representative, friends or colleagues of this representative spoke to us in Russian on the phone. The journey turned out to be truly magical thanks to the car. I managed to visit many places, enjoy the local driving style, so to speak, immerse myself completely in Turkish culture. Unlimited mileage has become the main parameter when choosing a service, and here it is included in car rental, you didn’t have to pay anything extra. The car itself is in good condition, it was a pleasure to drive. With pleasure we will use your services many, many more times when we are in Turkey, thank you!!! Thank you very much for the excellent service and development of tourism in your amazing country!
Opel Astra Sedan in Turkey
Good afternoon. We rented a car from 03/05/2022 for 15 days. Due to the unstable situation in the world and the cancellation of flights from March 8, we had to interrupt the rental. We were promised that we would be able to continue renting a car on our next vacation. For 2 days of rent, everything went for us, as if in a dream, we did not have time to understand and feel what happened to us. A wonderful tour was planned throughout Turkey. The car was picked up and dropped off at the airport. Everything is clear, on time, without delay. See you soon

Thank you, it went well. Just ended up with a Dacia Jogger, which was even better as it is a more spacious vehicle.
Fiat Fiorino in Turkey
Everything went great, thank you very much
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.
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.
