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.

During my business trips to other countries I travel a lot. Car rental has become an excellent solution for me. Since it is not always possible to rent a car quickly at the place of destination, I rent a car online. I\'ve tested many sites. Most of all I like bookingcar. The site always works good. There is a lot of options from a wide variety of providers. It\'s everything I need.

We returned from Copenhagen. To be well-travelled on the trip and save money, we had rented a car. Before the flight we found a suitable car and paid for it via this site. We got it at the airport, where we were met by a representative of the provider. There were no difficulties or worries. Everything was great.

Our big company went on the roads of Italy. The final goal was Venice. We rented a minivan and did not regret it. The conditions were great, and the rental cost was ridiculous as we chipped in together. We've selected a car here, since this site gives the opportunity to find a car that can be returned not in the country where it was received. We liked everything very much. There is easy navigation and simple search filter on the site. It's impossible to get confused.
