CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON HIT RENT A CAR AT ISTANBUL AIRPORT, IST

There is no storefront at the airport, only pick-up service is provided. With the help of QEEQ's customer service, I successfully picked up the car. The vehicle was in overall good condition with an intact paint finish, and the inspection needs to be thorough. While driving on snowy roads, the front bumper had a minor scratch on the lower left side, and I had to compensate when returning the car. Negotiating the compensation is possible; the initial asking price was 250 euros, but settled at 100 euros, comparable to paint repairs in domestic settings. Though the rental company is small, it operates professionally, with the main challenge being the language barrier. Tolls on highways are deducted directly from the 900-euro deposit. I was stopped by police in Nevşehir for speeding—110 km limit exceeded at 138 km—and fined 4500 liras. The payment was made the next day at the tax office of Safranbolu municipality. Paying within 15 days allows a 75% discount, but they only accept cash. In winter, it's recommended to take main roads, as rural paths suggested by Google Maps could have snow and ice buildup, posing safety risks.

No one was proactively available at the airport for pickup; I had to call after arrival to get the shuttle.
