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.

My foreign friends offered me to rent a car while traveling and not to rely on agencies long ago. They also suggested this car aggregator. Undoubted advantages are the significant amount of results and cooperation only with the proven providers, as well as the possibility of direct payment without clickthrough. I like my first experience of car rental.

I love to visit unfamiliar places with my wife. Not so long ago, we returned from Greece. We traveled on a rented car and the price for the week was quite low. We found the car, reserved it and paid for it via this car aggregator. Upon the arrival in Athens, we got the clean car with a full tank without any problems. We drove out and looked at a large number of attractions without haste. We liked to travel by car.
