Car rental reviews in Istanbul
Renault Megane Sedan in Turkey
Everything went great!!! The car met at the airport at 3am. The car is excellent. Traveled around Turkey. Toll roads paid for when we rented the car in cash. In general, this is the first experience of renting a car and everything went just great! I have already recommended your company to my friends who are planning to fly to Istanbul. Thank you!!!
Hyundai Accent Sport Sedan in Turkey
It was great and I really enjoyed it
Citroen Berlingo in Turkey
2 hours before the appointed time, I contacted a representative of the company and it turned out that the previous tenant did not return the booked car. At first they offered me a Citroen c4, but because I had 4 suitcases and 3 people, I refused. As a result, they provided Opel (pictured). The car is excellent, still in the film (the mileage was about 300 km), in an excellent configuration. They didn't charge me for a replacement. Rated 10 out of 5 😊
Opel Combo Life in Turkey
Everything was good, except for one moment - when I asked about the photos of the car I was shown one, and when the car was served - it turned out that there is a metal grille, and it was not in the photos that were sent to me.
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)
Nissan Qashqai in Turkey
Everything was good, the car was clean, in good condition. Only they didn't warn me that I would have to pay extra for the car wash. But they gave the car out before the appointed time for free. Thank you.
Fiat Egea Multijet in Turkey
Everything was great!!! 👍
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!
Renault Megane Sedan in Turkey
In general, everything was standard, except for one nuance, but very important for me. When I choose a car, I always look at the year of manufacture and try to take a fresh car, as a new car is always nicer to drive than an old one. And the cost of renting a new car is usually higher than used cars. So I rented a car of 2024 year of release, as it was stated on the website of the rental company, and received a car of 2019 year of release with a mileage of 165 thousand kilometers. The interior was heavily smoked and the driver's seat was burned with cigarettes. I spend a lot of time in the car as I travel around the area and so the condition of the car is important to me! Please do not deceive your customers or give correct information about the car! On the site takecars.com there were cars of the same class but older by year of manufacture and these offers were cheaper, and I chose your company because the year of manufacture of the car was specified 2024, and I received a car of completely different quality.
Renault Megane Sedan in Turkey
It didn't go well with my lease! They charged me a lot of extra money before I turned the car in. For the car wash was one. I drove on toll roads, then I was shown a receipt of payment, I agreed to it. Next, they said that most likely you were somewhere else, and that the system displays it after 3 days. and that because these charges are not yet in the system, you have to pay double the price. This is their way of insuring that they don't have new accruals coming to them in a couple of days. My arguments and timing that in the system find all the payment points that I crossed they did not take!
Fiat Egea in Turkey
everything was fine.
Opel Astra Sedan in Turkey
Everything is fine. I use the second time. Easy choice of car, support works quickly, helped with the choice of car and with payment. The car corresponds to the description, did not disappoint anywhere. All agreed, drove the car to the airport, met with a sign, clearance on the spot for 5 minutes and drove off. Similarly, the delivery of a car, near the entrance to the airport, gave the keys, shook hands and flew
Ford Focus in Turkey
Well, in general, the car was not the one that was booked, they gave Hyundai accent instead of Ford focus, for some reason it seems to me that it is of a lower class than the focus, if I knew that they would replace it, I would not have booked it, but because I had to leave already , I had to take an accent, but everything is fine! The tires were from different manufacturers and with different patterns on the same axle at the back, not entirely critical of course, we drove normally, but still, this is not up to standard
