We decided to visit several resorts of Bulgaria. We rented a comfortable and economical car for this purpose. We searched, chose and paid for the car via this site and got our money worth. The car was received without difficulties, and many options were already included in the rental package, so we didn't overpay.

We traveled to Israel and were very satisfied. We drove by car, which we took in the rental agency. We reserved a car and paid for it at home, and upon the arrival we got a car, which was used without restriction. It was convenient that the required insurance were issued immediately without additional charge, as it was included in the cost.

I visited Moldova to research it. It was this search engine that helped me to find a good car for traveling, because the others simply ignored the country. I booked a rental and paid for it without problems on the site. I got the car easily. I'm satisfied.
