Car rental reviews in Istanbul
Opel Combo Life in Turkey
Everything went well, thank you
Fiat Egea in Turkey
The car was another Ford Tourneo, the interior was unkempt, the body had defects. But on the whole the car did not let me down
Nissan Qashqai in Turkey
Everything it was great expect that the person who delivered me the car and who came back to take it from me did not know English and I couldn’t communicate with him. I needed to speak with someone other from the office.
Citroen C-Elysee in Turkey
rented a car, in general convenient and clear interface on the site and feedback from the representative of the organization, also the system of pricing pleased, thank you!
Dacia Lodgy in Turkey
We are very grateful to your company for the car, this is the third time we booked with you. Simple and convenient system in the transfer of the car and it is very important that the delivery of the car is also prompt and comfortable for us! Mohammed Mustafa Diri is very friendly and customer-oriented, which can not please every customer! Thank you again for the upgrade of the car! We will definitely come back to you specifically! 🤝
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.
Hyundai Accent Sport Sedan in Turkey
Everything went well, the car was quickly received, quickly handed over. There were no problems when using, we calmly drove from Ankara to Istanbul, the next time we travel to Turkey, we will again take a car on this site
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 Egea in Turkey
Everything went great. We were met at the airport. We looked at the car, signed the documents and everything) and it is very good that there is full insurance) We are very happy with the trip and very grateful.
Opel Corsa in Turkey
Everything went great, thank you very much. The car is fresh, clean. The service is good too 👍
Ford Courier in Turkey
Overall an ok experience, however not without local flavor. Given the low prices one can forgive. The car, of course, was different, but OK. They asked me to take it early, I agreed on the condition that they would help me park it (it was in the center of Istanbul). A Turkish-speaking man came, gestured that I had parking problems and left, I had to solve it myself. It was good that there were no problems with the change at the airport.
Citroen Jumpy in Turkey
Everything went great. Thank you
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.
