Customer Ratings and Latest Reviews
Because we want to make sure each review listed here is left by a real customer, we don’t have the option to post a review here. Instead, we ask each and every customer to leave a review after they return their rental car. This way, you know that all reviews are authentic.
Pros: The car was very old and dirty, not cleaned. The rental place had no address, so it was difficult to find.
Cons: The car was very old and dirty, not cleaned. The rental place had no address, so it was difficult to find.
Pros: The car that I received was brand new.
Cons: Little regard for customer service. Incorrect instructions. Did not provide the car that I requested.
Pros: They are trying to find any problem with the car and the create problems that can be seen
Pros: Nothing.
Cons: The instructions to find the car rental desk were very unhelpful. We had to call a Turkish number (very expensive from a UK phone) who then just told us to turn left, why could they have not written that on the arrival instructions? When we finally found the car rental desk, their card machine wasn't working. We tried 3 different cards but none of them would work in the machine. We were then just told that our rental was cancelled without getting a refund for the deposit we paid. Awful, avoid.
Pros: Everything, they couldn’t have done better
Cons: Nothing. They did great
