Car rental reviews in Istanbul
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
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.
Nissan Qashqai in Turkey
All good thanks 👍
Renault Clio 5 in Turkey
Emir met us at the airport and took us to the office to sign the contract - it is 8-10 minutes from the airport. The whole procedure took another 10 minutes and we picked up the car. I took a Renault Clio - clean, fresh. It was just right for Istanbul! I rented the car at the same place where I signed the contract. It took no more than 10 minutes. Emir also took us from there to the airport. I am completely satisfied with the service, I recommend it!

Opel Corsa in Turkey
Everything went great, the car was not an Opel Corsa but a Hyundai i20, also a very nice car. And so everything went well.
Renault Megane Sedan in Turkey
Everything went well in general, only together Megane got Focus and the car was 2 hours late for delivery. But the reception was great, thanks to the receptionist, he drove us to the hotel.
Fiat Egea in Turkey
All was good
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
Renault Clio 5 in Turkey
everything went well, thank you. This was my second rental with this company, without any complaints.
Hyundai Kona in Turkey
Everything went well. I was a bit worried as it was the first time I booked through your website. The car was new, in good condition, and I received it at the airport. And, most importantly, cheaper than other places.
Hyundai i20 in Turkey
everything went well 👌
