Car Rental in Sumqayit, Azerbaijan

For this car rental, we did not have to repeat the same details at pickup. FSTA already knew the Sumqayit plan, the luggage situation, and why the Caspian coast mattered for the first drive.

FSTA handled it as a standard self-drive request, not as a generic pickup.
