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

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!

Audi A4 in Turkey

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