ISTANBUL CAR RENTAL REVIEWS

We purchased full insurance with zero deductible, but after returning the car, the rental company charged 6600 lira from our credit card without our consent. The rental platform has yet to resolve the issue and seems to have no control over the rental company. At pickup, the store aggressively pushed other models and charged the card without informing us.

Quite satisfactory

The staff were very friendly and patient.

The service was enthusiastic, rental procedures were processed quite quickly. Maybe because it was peak time, I had to wait 20 minutes for the car to be cleaned and returned, but everything else was good.

This was my first time using this company. No need for a credit card hold, which was very convenient. The car had automatic toll payment equipment, so I could just settle the fees at the company upon return. Extremely efficient.

Very satisfied. The Turkish guy’s English wasn't very fluent, but the car pickup process was very easy. I rented a gasoline car but ended up with a diesel one without any extra charge. Although the tank was empty when I picked it up, there was a convenient gas station just at the exit of the parking lot. Cash and some small change are needed; otherwise, the staff may pretend not to understand English and try to play some tricks. The car had excellent overall mileage, covering a total of 2,300 km with the air conditioning on the whole time, and I only had to refuel four times. As a small-engine car, it did a great job of taking our family of three across various terrains. We hit a rock while reversing at KATAPUS beach, damaging the rear bumper, but fortunately, we had full insurance coverage. When returning the car, we only had to pay the highway toll, and everything went smoothly.

On the day of pickup, the staff were enthusiastic and professional. They patiently explained the vehicle's operating details and local traffic rules, which made me feel very reassured. The car was in excellent condition, clean and tidy inside, without a flaw. The seats were comfortable, and the driving experience was fantastic.

Very satisfied

Overall service of the car rental company is good, but the service for customers with language barriers needs improvement. It would be helpful if the store provides a diagram to indicate the pick-up location. When customers have no internet access, the store should allow them to use its network for mobile translation.

Fantastic car

Very good

Pretty good, they gave us a new car.

Repeatedly pushed insurance sales.

Very satisfied! Efficient and fast service, quick pickup and drop-off! Highly recommend Cigiz Company!

There was a minor system issue, but all the extra cash I paid on site was refunded. Very satisfied.

When we picked up the car, the fuel tank was empty. The staff only focused on getting our signatures and did not inform us that the car had no fuel! I understand English, so they could have told me, but even without that, there are translation apps they could have used to notify me. They didn't say anything! We drove about 10 kilometers and had to stop by the roadside because the car ran out of fuel. Most importantly, when we called the company, no one answered! Another issue: the car they gave us was extremely dangerous. A maintenance warning light came on as soon as we started driving! They just took a lot of photos when handing over the car and didn't explain any important details. It feels like they only care about making money and not about our safety! At the gas station, we stopped and had someone inspect the car, and they told us the tire pressure was uneven and the wheels were loose! We had to get it repaired ourselves. When we asked to change the car, after a lot of back and forth, they told us there was no available car in the area. We were in the capital city, Ankara! I don't even want to talk about the return process. Overall, it was a terrible experience! Everyone, please spend a bit more money to rent a car at the airport, and go for a major car rental company. Avoid these kinds of rental agencies that do not ensure your safety!!

The process is simple, returning the car is quick, and they are very lenient.

Very satisfied, reliable local brand
