I had a business trip to Kyoto, and there it was necessary to travel a lot. For that purpose I rented a car, as my friends and partners who live there said, that it was much cheaper, safer and faster. I rented a car via this site. I liked direct payment without interlinking and a large package of inclusive terms. I recommend it to business people.

During the working trip on the company's business I had to move to the neighboring city quite unexpectedly. I rented a car via this site (online) just for fun and paid for it, while I was in the required city. Everything was done quickly and easily. I didn't even expect such results, although I use this site quite often. So I saved time and money, as a large package of options was already included.
