What our users say
Kia K5 in the UAE
Everything went well :) The guys met us at the airport, the car was handed over in good condition, payment was accepted by unionpay card - it turned out to be a nice bonus for us, because initially the information was that only cash was accepted. They don't speak Russian at all, but we understood each other, we agreed where we would meet when returning the car so that we wouldn't have to pay for parking. From there we were taken to the terminal. We have already recommended your resource to several acquaintances on the basis of our positive experience.
Kia Seltos in the UAE
We booked Kia Seltos. But as the car was not available in time we were given a replacement - Toyota C-HR. In general, the rental process went well. The car was delivered on time and picked up with a slight delay. There were no complaints about the condition of the car. From the minuses we would like to note the lack of support in Russian and waiting (from March 9 to the present time) for a check for payment, which we will be able to pay with a Russian card, as a small extra payment was required.
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
Thank you, everything is great! I would like to ask the employees not to try to pin on us the past damage to the car, which we have already videotaped on experience when receiving it. Very unpleasant. We have been using this rental for more than 5 years, and periodically such surprises.
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
The car was brand new, clean and with no damage. Rented for 5 days with no problems at all. The only minor thing was the connection with the rental agency prior to rental day. Had to search for the telephone number by myself (as the number in the voucher didn't work) and call several times before they answered and confirmed that the car will be delievered at the appointed time and place.
Nissan Kicks in the UAE
Thank you, everything went well! The car was a KIA Celtos. It was delivered on time and picked up on time. We were very pleased with everything. The car is in excellent condition. The delivery man was nice and friendly too. Thank you. If possible we will order a car from you again and this time for a longer period of time
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
Having arrived on vacation in the UAE at the end of February 2023, I decided to rent a car and travel around the neighboring emirates and Dubai itself. Before that I read the forums on how and through what company to rent a car (the difficulty was mainly in the absence of a credit card working in the UAE to make a deposit and the search for companies working with Russian cards). I had a choice between two car rental companies but after comparing prices I settled on LocalCarHires.com. I booked a car with the delivery to the hotel the next day, receiving and returning the car after 1.5 weeks passed without any problems (upon receipt and delivery, I and a representative of the local rental company, each on his phone took the car inside and outside checked the mileage and the amount of gasoline and I paid the passage of the UAE toll roads in the end). But since I didn't have a valid credit card, I paid the deposit in cash in the amount of 1500 dirhams. The local rental company had promised a refund in 3 weeks to my bank account or via money transfer. When I returned home and waited for my deposit to be refunded, I wrote to the local rental company representative about the deadline to send me my deposit. I gave them my bank account number (Raiffeisenbank accepts SWIFT transfers from UAE) and the second way through a money transfer system CONTACT (there are also points of acceptance in the UAE). But then the local company in the chat messaging on messaging that send via SWIFT to Russia will not work, and the system KONTAKT they do not know and can only offer Western Union (which does not accept remittances to Russia). In my correspondence with them passed 10 days and finally my annual question "When will I get my deposit refund?" and the answer of the local rental company "We are dealing with this problem. The dialogue for a refund came to a standstill. So I decided to seek help from LocalCarHires.com, the company through which I had booked my car from a local. After my explanation of the problem with the refund of the deposit, the support service contacted the local rental company and within three days, the local company returned the deposit to me (via money transfer system CONTACT, there are many money transfer offices in the UAE, including the popular Al Ansari Exchange network available in almost all malls). In my situation, the fact that I booked a car through a major rental company did not allow the locals to wash out my deposit.

Super! Thank you very much, will recommend!
Mini Cooper S Cabrio in the UAE
We were given a Dodge Challenger since Cooper was busy
Kia Seltos in the UAE
everything went well
JAC JS4 in the UAE
Everything is fine with the car, the problems are related to collecting the money. First of all, when I got the keys, the amount for rent was more than in the voucher. I paid more by about 100 dirhams. I wanted to return the deposit (1500dirham) I returned the car in November 2025, now February 2026 and nobody returned it to me. Paid in cash, return to Russian and CIS cards is not possible. Through cryptocurrencies also do not return. Very cool to just give away 1700 dirhams when the rent is 700dirhams
Mazda 6 in the UAE
There were negative moments: the car was delayed for more than 3 hours, and only after my request. Then several people wrote to me on WhatsApp to find out where to deliver it, although the address was in the order. On acceptance and handing over the car, you sign on the clipboard without seeing what you signed for. In the new damage recorded missing towing hook plug, I had to write to the office and send a video of acceptance, it was without consequences. Otherwise everything was satisfactory
Hyundai Sonata in the UAE
Very satisfied with the service. Everything is prompt, convenient and transparent. I plan to use your services in the future. Pleasure to do business with you!
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
Everything went perfectly, we liked your service and the rented car. We liked the prompt feedback from the manager, convenient and clear payment terms (for Belarusians in the current situation it is a quest). We chose the most inexpensive car, but it was fresh, clean, serviceable and with low mileage. Having traveled about 1000 km it has never let us down. Thank you very much for the service. I even recommended you to a colleague who is planning a trip to the UAE soon.
