When we sent our girlfriends for shopping, we rented the car via this resource and chose an inexpensive car, despite their desire to show off. They liked the trip very much. And The obligatory insurance against road accidents came in useful. Besides, it was already included in the rental cost. Our sweethearts met with a minor accident. By the way, it wasn't their fault. As a result, everything worked out, and we had a great time at home))). So the insurance is necessary.

I can't imagine a journey without a car. It's awful to drive by bus. I often use car rental services and arrange everything via this resource. Quite often I get excellent price offers when renting executive cars. I like direct payment without any redirections and lots of offers. Support service works promptly and efficiently at any time of the day, which is also a definite advantage.

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.

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.
