Nissan Qashqai in Turkey

I recommend Take Cars! We rented a car for a week in January. Although instead of the ordered Nissan Qashqai we were given a Peugeot of similar class, all the basic conditions were met: the car was new, clean, with winter tires. Service is organized perfectly: brought and picked up on time, the calculation is clear, no additional payments. We were very satisfied. Thank you!

Renault Clio 5 in Turkey

The rental experience turned out to be successful. I got a Hyundai i20 instead of a Renault Clio 5, but I was not disappointed. The acceptance and delivery procedures were prompt and did not cause any complaints. The car was in good technical condition and I was satisfied with its comfort. THANK YOU!

Opel Crossland in Turkey

All in all, everything was fine, the only thing was that, I don't know if it should be like this or not, the documents on the car were a photocopy of the STS. The local traffic police stopped the car and said it was illegal and demanded a fine. They sort of got out of it, but it was not pleasant. The company itself who rented out the car said that everything is fine, the main thing is not to get caught. Very strange. And in general, filing clearly on time, reception clearly on time without problems. the car is new good without problems. There are no claims to you)

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.

Everything is OK, but I lost sight of the child seat and did not return for it, but on the site the price is with the chair and I paid the full amount

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!

Nissan Qashqai in Turkey

The car I booked was not provided as it was in an accident the day before my booking. The car was replaced with a Ford Focus promptly and everything was provided for me by the time I arrived. Everything went well, thank you.

Fiat Egea Multijet in Turkey

We were not very satisfied. We waited for a car for about 1.5 hours. We were given a car that was not what we had ordered, it was killed, the car shook at speeds of over 100 km.

Fiat Fiorino in Turkey

Everything went well, there were no problems. except that at first we thought that we would have to pay the full amount in rubles, but the lack of this option was not a problem.

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.
