For a long time we\'ve been engaged in extreme driving. Recently we were in Saudi Arabia. We rode along the desert. It\'s especially beautiful at the end of the day. There were admiration and danger and a host of other things. We rented a car via bookingcar eu. It\'s a very useful site, because it compares all world providers and gives a full base of actual options. It is convenient that you can pay everything without fees directly on the site. There are excellent offers, which we always take.

I traveled on the roads of Holland. There were block-stone roads almost everywhere. It was amazing. I rented the Mercedes C-Class and was satisfied with the comfort of the car and the comfort of the roads. In general, the trip was useful and helped to have a good rest and look at the country by car, not the way it is shown to tourists. If you look for a comfortable car for an affordable rental price, then I recommend this site.

We had a great trip to Poland. Most of the time we spent in small towns and farms. Everything was very nice and home-like. The car was rented in advance without a limited mileage. We got the required insurance package without overpaying via this site. We received a car in Warsaw without any problems.

I traveled to India and rented a car in the capital. Everything turned out to be very simple. Via this site I found, chose and booked a car from a well-known provider. I took a mini-car. There were no problems with payment and getting a car. Roads are similar to ours))), but this is the problem of the country, not the provider))).
