Car rental reviews in Istanbul
Renault Clio 5 in Turkey
I ended up renting a Hyundai I20. In general, there were no significant differences from the car I had originally rented. Everything went very well, we were met at the airport and taken to the company's office, very quickly formalized. The car is new, there are no claims, at the inspection immediately fixed a little damage. We had a great trip on it the whole vacation. The manager was in touch, the only disadvantage was that he did not immediately send confirmation of booking and payment. When handing the car back - everything went quickly and without complaints. The deposit was returned in full. I recommend for cooperation 👍
Opel Corsa in Turkey
Everything is super great. thank you so much. we will recommend you to everyone.
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.
Renault Taliant in Turkey
Overall I liked the service. Practically everything was as described on the website. The only thing was that there were some problems with the car we booked. We were offered another one, with a small additional payment. In the end, I was satisfied with the rental.
Fiat Egea in Turkey
Everything went just super! Happy with the cars and service! Thank you!!!
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!!!
Citroen Berlingo in Turkey
That's great! Fire! We will recommend 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!
Ford Focus in Turkey
Basically everything went well: the car was delivered and picked up on time, the registration was quick. The car was excellent, new. It was disappointing that the car was delivered with an empty tank and a low fuel light on. I had to change money at the airport at an unfavorable rate to refuel on the way from the airport to the city. I also had to pay for toll roads when handing over the car - it's normal, but it would be good to bring some printout with expenses, or send it to watsap, not just to name a figure. Thank you!
Fiat Fiorino in Turkey
everything went well
Opel Corsa in Turkey
We liked it very much, they gave us a new car for the agreed price, better than planned. We were met at the airport, the car was picked up, we were given a ride to the entrance. Good service, we will contact again!
Fiat Egea in Turkey
Everything went well, I was met at the airport, taken to the office where all the documents were drawn up. The car was the same as we had booked, in good condition. There were two things that we did not like very much. First: the car had no fuel at all, we had to look for a gas station. The second: when we handed over the car we were charged 300 lira for travel on toll roads, but the bill for them did not show. According to our data, we had to pay 150 liras for the toll roads. For us these are insignificant trifles. If we need a car in Turkey - we will turn to you, rating 5-
Opel Combo Life in Turkey
After ordering Opel Combo and the first installment we were informed that there were problems with this car and offered Opel Zafira. I agreed, as there is such a model for 5 seats. At the airport we were brought to 9 seats, which I was just shocked. We were 2 with my wife. But I had to take her. Everything went well. Only we overpaid for everything - in parking lots, on the highway for the size of the car, for gasoline consumption.
