Reviews

What people say after hiring from us

4.9138 reviews

  • ★★★★★

    I landed an hour late and the man was still there, holding a sheet of paper with my name on it. I signed the contract next to the car and ten minutes later I was on the road.

    Andreea M. · September 2026

  • ★★★★★

    We took the Duster to the Apuseni for two days. We got caught in the rain on the road to Arieșeni and had no trouble at all. The price was exactly what the message said.

    Vlad Pop · August 2026

  • ★★★★★

    The Vito for a wedding in Turda, nine of us. The van was clean and they brought it to our hotel.

    Ioana & Radu · July 2026

  • ★★★★☆

    The Golf was fine, except I forgot to fill it up and paid extra for the petrol. Fair enough, they showed me the receipt.

    Mihai C. · June 2026

  • ★★★★★

    I sent a WhatsApp message in the evening and had confirmation by the morning. No deposit on my card: I paid the daily difference and that was it.

Questions

What people ask before they hire

Can I pay in cash?

Yes, you can pay for the hire in cash or by card when you collect the car. The deposit, however, can only be held on a card in the driver’s name — or you can choose the no-deposit option.

What if my flight is delayed?

Send us your flight number and we’ll keep an eye on it. If you land later, we wait for you at no extra cost.

How much fuel does the car come with?

A full tank, and you bring it back full. If you can’t get to a petrol station, we fill it up and you pay only for the fuel, as shown on the receipt.

Can I take the car abroad?

Yes, with our agreement in advance, because we need to sort out the paperwork for the border. Tell us which country you’re going to when you book.

What do I do if the car breaks down?

Call the number on the key tag, at any time. We’ll bring you another car or send roadside assistance, whichever is quicker.
