Me and my friends went to the rally along the Mongolian steppe. We got a lot of impressions and adrenaline. We looked for offroaders for a long time and could find them only via this aggregator. We booked the cars there immediately. At the destination place, we received the cars without problems. We recommend it and will use it again.

We organized a trip to Austria and rented a car for this purpose. We chose a standard car, and went to travel. We got a lot of new and interesting. We rented the car via this resource and were very satisfied, as we received a large package of options. Payment without fees was also made on the site. There were no problems with the car, both during the receipt and the return.

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.

We had a perfect travel around Verona and its suburbs. Everything was very romantic. We went there right after the wedding and rented a car to be free to move. We found a car via booking Car and immediately paid for it without any problems. Upon the arrival we got the car with a full tank. By the way, it was not necessary to return the car to the place where we took it.
