Car rental reviews in Istanbul
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!
Opel Zafira Life in Turkey
Everything went great, comfortable car
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.
Opel Astra Sedan in Turkey
Everything went great except for the fact that communication with the landlord is only possible in Turkish, a bit inconvenient
Fiat Egea in Turkey
It went great!
Hyundai Accent Sport Sedan in Turkey
I rented, but they gave me an Opel crossland with a surcharge, because I didn't have a Hyundai. In general, I think they were very surprised when I came to their office, and it took them a long time to figure it out. In general, everything went well, except for the communication. People there know only Turkish. They gave me a new car.
Opel Crossland in Turkey
In general, the car is good. But there we waited for a man for 2 hours when receiving the car, they brought the car without a seat. We took the seat with the child in our arms in the car at the other end of Istanbul. We returned the car almost ok - only they did not give the calculation of toll roads, we traveled in three cars (3 families were) the same, and only we were charged 2 times more.
Fiat Egea Multijet in Turkey
Everything went great! We liked everything, Mustafa did not let us down, the car drove perfectly! We drove 3500 km all over Turkey! We will recommend to our friends, that's for sure!
Citroen Berlingo in Turkey
Everything went great! The car was good, did not let us down anywhere. Convenient for us rental conditions without mileage limitation, as we traveled from Istanbul to Cappadocia. We made prepayment from Russia with a Russian bank card, it was a determining factor when booking in advance. Thank you for your service! If necessary, we will gladly use your services again).
Renault Clio 5 in Turkey
everything went well, thank you. This was my second rental with this company, without any complaints.
Fiat Fiorino in Turkey
Of the good: - expectations of the car matched the offer; - prompt response to messages on watsapp upon arrival at the airport; - quick transfer from the airport to the pickup site; - attentive and polite staff; - possibility to leave a deposit in cash. From the unpleasant: - Long wait (over half an hour) for the trasfer from the car return site to the airport (didn't expect to spend that much time on it). From personal inflated expectations: - The employees of the pickup point incorrectly oriented in the fuel consumption, as a result there were 10 liters in the tank (it would be great if the extra fuel would be compensated by a reduction in the toll road payment).
Opel Corsa in Turkey
Everything went great, thank you very much. The car is fresh, clean. The service is good too 👍
Fiat Egea in Turkey
Everything went exactly as agreed, although we were worried about the lack of prepayment (we do not have a suitable credit card), acceptance / delivery of the car in the specified time and date. In general, we were extremely satisfied with everything - the car and the service!)
