Slightly annoying that the pickup location was way off airport. Needed to call the company for them to dispatch a pickup and take us to the airport. If dropping at IST, spare an extra HOUR at least for the dropoff process.

The entire experience was excellent, straightforward and hassle-free. They explained the accident handling process clearly when I purchased full insurance, without any extra sales push. I voluntarily opted to add the no-police-report full coverage insurance for single accidents, which was reasonably priced at 10 euros per day.
