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.

Together with friends we traveled along the roads of the Netherlands. Since there were 7 of us, we rented a minivan for 7 seats and went to have fun. We rented the van via this resource and it was convenient for us, as all options were already included in the cost, and there was no need to pay extra charges. In general, the cost was ridiculous for 7 people. The site is simple, understandable and reliable.
