The driver sorry can’t remember his name was excellent. He was there on time and helped us with our cases to the car. On the way to the hotel he showed us many sights of Rio. I will definitely be using kiwitaxi again. Excellent service. I would recommend this company without any hesitation. Mike Shuttleworth

The trip went great, the driver was early and very professional, he helped us load the bags in and out of the car. I would recomend kiwitaxi to anyone. 10/10 great service. William

All went well! Good communication on whatapp and on a phone with confirm. Friendly driver, good clean car, and on-time. Also safe driving, would book my transfer here again Recommend! Marina

I was pleasantly surprised that my return ride was GREAT. I had some problems with my first ride from the Istanbul Airport into town and had planned to also handle the return trip with Kiwitaxi. This drive and this trip was very good. The vehicle was clean, the driver arrived 10 minutes early, was very helpful in getting our bags into the vehicle, was polite, spoke Turkish, Arabic, and English. He was a safe driver, did NOT use his phone during the trip, was friendly but also was appropriately quiet. It was a good last impression that was left. VanettaA

All good - our driver, Anthony, was early to collect us, helpful with our luggage, and pleasant to chat to en route to the airport. Would definitely recommend this service. Carole P
