Car rental is suitable only for experienced drivers, as not everyone can drive in Rome. Nonetheless I\'ve decided to visit this ancient city by car. By the way, it is very interesting and unusual. It is easy to see the city from unconventional angles, inaccessible to tourists. I\'ve rented a car via bookingcar.eu. I\'ve liked the fact that the base cost\'s included insurance and other options that are necessary in a city with intensive traffic and a peculiar driving style.

My foreign friends offered me to rent a car while traveling and not to rely on agencies long ago. They also suggested this car aggregator. Undoubted advantages are the significant amount of results and cooperation only with the proven providers, as well as the possibility of direct payment without clickthrough. I like my first experience of car rental.

I used the services of a wide variety of car rental sites, and also rented a car at the destination place for many times. For some time past I use only this resource. For me, the advantages are obvious. It's easy rent and possibility to pay immediately via the site. By the way, you can forget about the situation when there is no suitable car for you, as it's often happened when renting a car at the destination place. I constantly recommend it to my friends.
