I find this company's practices criminal. First, there's no office at the airport (the description states a location there). You're driven to a remote parking lot. There, you're forced to pay double t... See more

This was a terrible Car Hire experience with HIT Car Rental

This was a terrible experience.
1) 13th Apr. Refuse to provide car without a block on my credit card. This is normal practice which I always comply with. I tend to not buy insurance and am happy with the risk. However Hit could not secure a block on my card without my purchase additional insurance through them. I said I will investigate my credit card what the issue was.
2) I contact my credit card issuer, and was advised there was no issue with the card. The block should have gone through.
3) I hired a car for the 15th Apr and purchased full collision insurance. Hit still refused to give me the car without taking their insurance. They had priced their insurance at 20 times the price of the car hire. They refused to give me the car, despite my having paid for collision insurance. This is exortion in my mind.
4) We agree that they will man the desk at 7.30am on the 19th Apr. They attempted to call me at 4am. I was asleep. They left no message. I and another customer was stranded at the Car Rental location, without a representative to take the cars or to take us back to the airport. We messaged and called several times between 7.15am and 8am, to have no response. Hit didn't even have a box to store keys to allow customers to leave if in a hurry. To cap this off, the location was difficult to hail a taxi.
Utterly awful experience, on cost and customer service.
I will not be able to use Hit in the future, and I provide fair warning to any other customers.

Navigating Istanbul traffic is never simple, but renting through this platform reduced my stress. The instructions were plain, the rates were good, and it helped that I could reach an agent any time if something went wrong. I ended up returning the car a few hours early without any hassle.

My airport pickup was incredibly smooth. Although I usually dread the lines at rental kiosks, the staff here were quick to greet me and hand over the keys. I was on my way in no time, which left me more time to enjoy my vacation.

My only minor annoyance was the limited variety of luxury cars available on the dates I needed. Apart from that, the service was top-notch, and the staff ensured I understood the fair fuel policy. Returning the car at the Istanbul Airport was also efficient, with hardly any wait time.

Hit Rent a Car proved its worth during my extended holiday. The rates were some of the best I found, and the website promised no hidden extras. Sure enough, I paid exactly what the final page said. Returning the car in Istanbul was a breeze, and I got my deposit back promptly.

Getting a car for my business trip was crucial, and the website delivered a quick, hassle-free reservation. The instructions about returning the tank in the same condition were clear enough, and I had no problems with extra fees. I am glad I gave this service a shot.

SCAM!!!

Scam! Do not use.

I booked a car for my family (through Carjet) but when they tried to block €900 for the security deposit on my credit card, the machine declined. I asked what the solution was and he said I would have to take out their insurance at a cost of €300! As I have an independent car hire excess insurance policy which will pay out up-to €10K I politely declined.

Funny how the card machine would then miraculously work again if I had agreed…

Upon doing research for another car, it appears Hit aren’t the only outfit doing this scam, pretty much all of them are at it!

The only way to be sure of avoiding the Antalya Car Rental Mafia scam is to hire from one of the big names. I used Enterprise who were great.

This company took my stress away by letting me pay in installments on my Turkish credit card. My father needed a car with a bit more luggage space, so we upgraded without a hitch at the counter. It was a smooth process, and I will happily use them again.

When I visited the website to rent a medium-sized vehicle for a road trip, I appreciated how straightforward the steps were. The only area I see room for improvement is more detailed information on insurance coverage. Still, the no hidden cost approach was a big plus.

Nice and easy

Very helpful we delayed due to passport control issues but no problem we were picked up and taken to the office. The car was checked over paperwork sorted and on our way in good time. No issues with the car and used it quite a bit on the holiday. The return was just as simple quick and easy no hassle. Friendly polite staff

Thieves and fraudsters!

Thieves and fraudsters!
Avoid as much as you can.
HIT will charge you even if no damage ocured and you had full package of insurance.
HIT will also charge you for trafic fines which you never get or even seen.
