We rented a Mitsubishi Pajero 4 x 4 and some Camping Gear, 2.000 km of good times on Kyrgyz roads. Trvlland was very helpful in organizing stuff along our trip, thank you very much!

We had such a good experience renting our 4WD here. Booking was easy. They allowed us to change our car to a cheaper one when it came available. Car was in very good condition, including all necessary tools and USB charger :) Also very friendly and helpful staff, from begin to end. Really happy we rented here!

Travel land provides a wonderful and reliable service. They’re also so quick to sort the paperwork; meaning, you can be full-throttle windows-down through the brisk Kyrg winds in no time at all!

très bons échanges avec Maxim, très réactif, nous avons du rajouter une journée de location sur notre contrat, la personne nous a attendu en dehors des heures d ouverture au bureau de Bishkek. La voiture Toyota RAV 4 est en très bon état, propre, nous n avons eu aucun soucis malgré l état des routes au Kirghizistan! je recommande

We rented a car from the company and had a great time for most of the journey. The car was perfect and reliable.
On the second last day, we had an unfortunate accident due to poor driving of another car on the road. We whatsapped the team and Artem from the company arrived at the scene within 15 minutes. He did everything he could to help us handle the situation. Although it was certainly an unhappy experience, Artem's professionalism and friendliness made it as worry-free as it could be for us. I never imagined a car rental company could offer such amazing customer service in the event of an accident.
Travel Land is truly amazing and exceeded all our expectations right from the start. Do consider them if you ever need a car in Kyrgyzstan. I know I will visit them again for sure.
TL team, thank you again!

Godna polecenia firma. Wszelkie formalności przebiegły bez problemów. Pracownicy firmy uzyskali dla nas wymagane pozwolenia na wjazd w tereny przygraniczne. Samochody spisały się pozytywnie w trasie. Dziękujemy za pomoc.
