We've got tired of traveling on arranged tours. All of them are a bit primitive. Recently we've decided to visit Greece by car. Impressions are quite different and you can see as much as possible, but the level of spending is much lower. We've rent a car via this site. We've found everything there, chose a car and paid for it. Everything is very simple, understandable and convenient. I recommend it to everybody.
