Car rental reviews in Istanbul
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!
Citroen C3 in Turkey
Everything was great in terms of organization. The car was worth the money
Hyundai i20 in Turkey
Everything went great, thank you very much
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.
Dacia Jogger in Turkey
We liked everything. There were no problems at all. So we will probably come to you in the future.
Fiat Egea Multijet in Turkey
5 points Very good service. Good Company. The cars are in good condition. Low deposit. Low rental price. Everything is clear. After renting a car, the deposit was returned immediately. Will rent from them again.
Dacia Sandero Stepway in Turkey
I waited for almost 2 hours in the center of Istanbul to hand over my car, while driving around the city, as there is no parking there in principle. At the same time, as agreed 2 hours before arrival, I informed about the time and place of the meeting.
Fiat Egea Multijet in Turkey
Thank you and your company everything is very excellent. Don meetings.
Fiat Egea Multijet in Turkey
All in all, it went well.
Fiat Egea in Turkey
The rental is okay, but the machine itself is crap. My chainsaw has a more powerful engine. The car slows down on the highway, even on a slight hill.
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 Zafira Life in Turkey
All is well Thank you very much The car was given as it should be Everything is great
Nissan Qashqai in Turkey
1) transparent pricing on the website 2) convenient prepayment by ruble card / cash on the spot. No international bank cards were required 3) we were given a different car - instead of Kashkay - Opel Grandland (new, 2025). Even a light class upgrade 4) everything is fine with the car, we had a great ride. 5) final payment without any surprises at all - the Turks sent me a screenshot from local state services with my fines (it amounted to 700 liras - pennies). I gave it to them and everything was fine. A slight disadvantage - the Turks who brought / took the car (different people) did not speak English, not a word at all, not even numerals. In Russian, of course, too. But they explained themselves.
