Nissan Note in Thailand
Everything's fine! Joey contacted me in advance and asked me to send a photo of my documents. He warned me that it was better to have an international license 👌🏻. He told me that I would be met at the airport with a sign. On the day of arrival I was sent a photo of the person who would meet me and the place of meeting. On arrival, the documents were drawn up, I paid the money for rent and deposit. The deposit was returned to me when I returned the car. Everything was smooth, efficient and no fuss! On the car: the car is clean, well-maintained, in good technical condition! They put a big bottle of water in the car (nice!). Thank you guys! ❤️🤗👍🏻

Honda City in Thailand
At the company of the lessor there was a delay in the issuance of the car, for 5 hours, they previous client delayed the rental, respectively, the car was dirty, fuel is not full tank and the manager took a very long time to hand over the car to us.
Honda Jazz in Thailand
I was very pleased with the vehicle they provided me with. Very polite and friendly, clear instructions on how to pick up and drop off the car. Would recommend to everyone!
Toyota Vios in Thailand
Despite the high mileage (150000 km), the car was in excellent technical condition. I would like to say a special thank you to the staff of the company, they were always in touch on WhatsApp, many questions were solved very quickly. They met me at the airport and after returning the car took me to the airport. We went to a meeting and extended the rental car for a few more days without requiring us to come to the company to renegotiate the contract. They work for cash. Summary: the company is excellent, located near the airport, next time we will turn to them again.
Honda City in Thailand
It was fine, but I didn't get the Honda City, as it had an accident a couple days before I rented it. I got a Toyota Yaris Ativ instead, which I didn't want to rent, even though it was cheaper by 100 baht per day. Because it has a very poor equipment, air conditioner blows either in the legs or in the body, and for hot Thailand good air conditioning in the car is number one. In general as a result I blew out my right ear and it was very painful, and still it is not cured till the end, still periodically it lodges. With music in the car also problems, konektakila magnet only with an iPhone, and we all have android, in general traveled throughout Thailand without music, on the phone listened to 🤦♂️. Engine 1,2 liters also does not shine sharpness, on the passes of Patong had to push the accelerator to the floor. In general, the car in all parameters lost to Honda, but there was no other choice, we reported the day before the lease and there was no time to look for something else. Otherwise we drove about 2500km around Thailand, the car did not let us down.
Toyota Vios in Thailand
Rental went great, easy to use website, very nice car. The drop off was excellent as well. When we picked up the car at the airport we had to wait quite a long time (40 minutes) for it to go through the traffic, maybe we should change the logistics or the place of delivery.
Toyota Yaris Ativ in Thailand
Everything went great. The car was replaced with an analog Honda city. The car was in good condition, the interior was clean. The meeting at the airport at the appointed time did not take place. We had to wait. Not long. It is not very convenient that the car cannot be returned at the airport, you have to go to the office near the airport.
