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!

Audi A4 in Turkey

everything went fine, except they gave me a different car. A Peugeot instead of an Audi, a dubious substitution

Peugeot 508 in Turkey

Everything went well, they provided a Mercedes c200d instead of a Peugeot, but we were fine with that. Thank you! The only thing is that the company forgot to put a child seat in the car and I had to go to the other end of Istanbul to get it. No one offered to bring it or somehow deliver it, want I paid money for it
