Audi A3 Sedan in the UAE
A month ago I rented an Audi A3. I was very satisfied with the registration process, everything was fast and clear. The car was delivered to the home address. Once I had a situation where I had a completely flat tire. I contacted the company and within 20 minutes employees arrived to help me fix the wheel. The staff is very responsive, always ready to help and answer all questions. Now I'm a regular customer.
Abarth 695 Cabrio in the UAE
All was ok, quick and simple
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
In general, everything is fine. On the downside, the car was not a Mitsubishi Attrage, but a Nissan Synny. And I also had to replace the first car - the rear view camera did not work. Otherwise, everything is fine.
Suzuki Ciaz in the UAE
The rental went great. The car was new, 4800 km mileage. Polite staff quickly completed the paperwork, waited 5 minutes and the car was already waiting downstairs. I drove more than 1300 km. I am satisfied with the car and the service. The delivery of the car was just as fast. I will advise my friends!
Nissan Altima in the UAE
Everything went well. The car was brought on time. The condition of the car was also decent.
Honda HR-V in the UAE
Everything was fine.On the last day because of local holidays there were no free drivers to pick up cars from the hotel. As a result, we had one more day of free riding, i.e. free of charge. It turns out that it is not Friday, but Sunday parking is free.
Ford Mustang GT Cabrio in the UAE
I wish it were better. There are no questions about the car. I didn’t like two things: 1. We received the car with 10 km of petrol left. We nearly died out while we found a gas station. Upon arrival, I wanted to relax and not to be puzzled where to find a gas station. As a result, we devoted half of the evening to this issue instead of just traveling on business. 2. Delivery of a car - a person is late, it is very difficult to communicate, he does not understand anything and can not get through in any way. We were late for the event due to a delay in submission. Delayed not inspection of the car, namely the arrival of a person. In the end, it wasn't even he who came. To be honest, there is no desire to use the service again. The experience is rather negative than positive. If the fuel policy is principled, they would have warned in advance, I would have paid for a full tank.
Suzuki Ciaz in the UAE
I rented a Suzuki from February 22 to 25 of this year but received a Nissan instead an hour late from the appointed time. The car was in terrible condition, due to lack of time to wait for another car, I was forced to pick this one up and the first thing I did was go to the car wash. The fuel level was slightly higher than the empty tank, but I returned it with the same level. The driver who brought the car was very friendly. The manager with whom I contacted via WhatsApp kindly prepared all the documents in advance and receiving the car at the airport terminal took only a few minutes. After returning the car to the same place, I was told that after 14 days I could receive the cash deposit back. After two weeks, I contacted the manager about payment but could not get an answer for 4 days. in the end, after four days of silence, they told me that they meant 14 working days and that the period expires this week, and the money will be transferred to me on Monday of the next week, that is, March 18th. Overall I was pleased. Will I use the services of "takecars.com" again? - Probably yes. Thank you. Best wishes.
Toyota Highlander Hybrid in the UAE
Everything went well. Nice clean car. They met me at the airport, took me to the office and gave the car back to me at the office. I brought the car back to the office myself and handed it over. In general, my impressions of the service and car rental are positive. I will recommend your service to my friends and acquaintances.
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.
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
Everything went well. The site is fast, easy to use, it is convenient that there is a filter to search for the desired criteria. It was important for me to find an offer without deposit, as I don't have an international card to deposit it. Initially I chose a different car from another company, but later your colleague contacted me and offered me a replacement. The latter company provided the exact car that was booked. The staff at the rental company was eager to help resolve any questions I had. My questions were mainly about how to pay for paid parking lots in Dubai. Thank them for their patience, tried several ways, found a working one that suited me. They explained three times how to use it, as they doubted that I understood everything from the first time, given my poor level of English. The car was 2023, with a mileage of 50 thousand kilometers, in good technical condition. I quickly inspected the car, took all the damages on video just in case, signed the documents and left. With the delivery of the car as well everything quickly, there were no problems.
Hyundai Sonata in the UAE
Everything was fine, the pickup was good, the car was nice. It's okay.
Mazda CX-9 in the UAE
