Everything was perfect!

Everything was perfect, we even got a bigger car (hyundai i20) for the same price. Picked up at the airport and dropped it off at there too. It was very simple and fast! First time hiring a car, and i didnt regret it!!!! Cheap and easy! Recommend for everyone!

Unprofessional - No invoice available and cash payment only

The Company does not provide an invoice. The executing company did not hand out the car without cash payment although credit card payment was mentioned by LocalCarHires. We will blacklist LocalCarHires thoughout our group of companies. Not recommendable for business use. Unprofessional throughout the process. Better go to Avis, Sixt or Hertz.

Thank you Olaf for bringing this matter to our attention. Upon investigating your experience, I must acknowledge that you are indeed correct. The rental company confirmed that they were unable to accept card payments due to a malfunction with their payment terminal. This situation is indeed regrettable and not typical of the service standards we strive to uphold.

In such rare instances, we can only refer to our booking terms, which state: "We display vehicle information, rental conditions, extras, and insurance options as provided by the rental company." However, we understand that this does not diminish the inconvenience caused to you.

Your negative review is visible on the rental company's profile page to ensure transparency and accountability. Additionally, as a gesture of our commitment to better service, we would like to offer you a 10% discount on your next booking with us. Please use the promocode OLAFMEIER for this purpose.

While I understand your position regarding larger, more established rental services, I assure you that our aim is to provide a reliable and professional service that can stand alongside these industry giants. We are continuously working to improve our services and the reliability of our partners.

Thank you for your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future.

Warm regards,
Director of LocalCarHires.com platform

Excellent

In high season all agencies were sold out in Georgia 🇬🇪 . I found this website and found the car i want, all i had to do is communicate on whatsapp, make the downpayment and the car was delivered to me same date and time i requested. Car owners are usually locals offering their cars for rent so for insurance you get to decide on the website what type of insurance you need. The car was in very good condition. It is alwats recommended When you rent a car from a local not only to take video of the external body of the car but pay attention to other small details like: “due service” as sometimes you drive hardly 5 km and you get the “service due” warning on your dashboard. Pay attention to the Tyres: their working condition and quality. Also. Interior: sometimes small tears or stains may be made by previous leaser and owner didn’t notice them back then which may put you in an awkward situation trying to prove it wasn’t you. I didn’t face any of that with localcarhires.com thankfully. Car was as shown and my trip was flawless. Ps. Always wash the car before giving it back it is the rule while fuel should be as received.

Great experience

The service in General was really good. The day before the pick-up someone contacted me via WhatsApp (in english) with clear instructions where to Pick up the car. Our car was switcher by a mitsubishi outlander sport of the Same construction year, due to some last minute service needs on the forester. Our car was in good shape there were no issues driving it. The only thing that bothered us was the service light that was warning us the whole length of our trip. But it didnt affect the driving. Delivering the car on the last day

Subaru XV rent in Georgia

Amazing service and prices. Company brought the car to us to Kutaisi and we returned it back in Tbilisi. Great car, very responsive person available at all teams in case any issues. Allowed us to return car 3 hours later than agreed without extra fee and person who took the car back offered us to bring to our hotel. 5/5

The car was great

The car was great, the experience was perfect. They were only facilities when picking up and returning the car. Despite the delay of our flight and our changes in plans. Everything was easy and simple and that is very appreciated. The car was clean, ran well and we had no problems. I couldn't ask for more and I totally recommend it.

the company could not provide me with a car on time, moreover, one day before receiving the car, they wrote that only after 2 days you can get a car and not the one that was booked a month and a half in advance, several times they offered a car of a lower class. Sorry, they don’t work that way, lies and resourcefulness representative, I do not recommend contacting this company

First and foremost, I'd like to apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced. We value every feedback and take it seriously to improve our services. I've personally looked into the matter and discussed it with our rental provider in Turkey. It appears there was an unforeseen issue with the car you initially booked, and they tried to accommodate by offering a higher segment car without any extra charge. Additionally, they extended your contract by a day as a goodwill gesture. I understand that this might not have been the ideal situation for you, but please know that our intention is always to provide the best service to our customers. I also want to mention that you were communicating with our SMM manager, who typically doesn't handle customer support. If there are any further concerns or issues, please feel free to reach out to us directly, and we'll do our best to assist you.

Warm regards,
Maxim

All perfect

All perfect. Not only did he upgrade the category of the rented car, but he came to pick us up at the hotel and on the day of the return he accompanied us to the airport. The car in perfect condition. The unbeatable quality-price ratio. I would repeat without hesitation. Totally recommended.
