I have been using car aggregators for many years already, I've tried many of them, and this site has turned out to be the most accurate. It allows you to search for the best offers from the providers. Any problems either in the process of registration, rental payment or receipt of a car from the agent haven't occured. I recommend it.

We had a great time on the roads of Germany. We tested the famous avtobahns. For this purpose we rented quite prestigious cars. Moreover, we paid for the rental a very low price due to this resource. There were no problems at all.

Some time ago, I've analyzed the main tourist aggregators for car rental around the world. After numerous tests and comparisons, I can say that this site works faster than others, albeit not much, has the largest base for analysis and provides maximum options. The absence of redirection to other sites is an undoubted disadvantage in terms of security, as it excludes the possibility of phishing redirection.

Car rental is suitable only for experienced drivers, as not everyone can drive in Rome. Nonetheless I\'ve decided to visit this ancient city by car. By the way, it is very interesting and unusual. It is easy to see the city from unconventional angles, inaccessible to tourists. I\'ve rented a car via bookingcar.eu. I\'ve liked the fact that the base cost\'s included insurance and other options that are necessary in a city with intensive traffic and a peculiar driving style.

I traveled all over the Baltics for business purposes. To save money, I decided to rent a car. In advance I found a suitable car and paid for the rental. I got it upon the arrival. I don't have any complaints about the reservation service and the rental company. I'm absolutely satisfied, as I managed to do everything I planned due to the mobility.
