I had an excellent rest with my friends. We went on an extreme tour in Azerbaijan. We rented offroaders and drove along mountain roads and paths. I recommend this resource, as it offers affordable options. Other search engines could not find anything suitable.

I spent the weekend in Italy and didn't miss the opportunity to drive a rented sports car. Of course, at home of the most supercars there is no other way. I rented the car via this resource. I can't say that it is cheap, but not enormously expensive. For me, it's important that this is the only car search engine that has found the required car. The payment is direct without fees here. I deliberately asked the provider about the price at the destination place. There was no difference in price. I recommend it to everyone.

We had a nice trip on the roads of Scotland. There were a lot of small towns and each of them was very cozy. Beautiful nature and lots of greenery. We rented a car at the destination place, while booked it and paid for it via this resource in advance. We were pleased with a wide choice. Particular attention should be given to the fact that the insurance is included in the rental price. There are no additional charges.
