What our users say
Mazda 6 in the UAE
The car was delivered to Dubai Al Maktoum airport, as it was stated in very good condition. Small chips on the bumpers, small scuffs on the body, almost not noticeable. We rented for 10 days, all without problems. Surrendered also at the same airport, before that made a comprehensive wash. We were in a bit of a hurry when we turned it in, so we parked and left the keys on the front tire. Thank you very much for the service!
Mitsubishi Xpander in the UAE
Everything was fine. If it wasn't for the fine, which could have been easily avoided. Your colleagues told me about the speed limit, but they didn't tell me about the phone! It's a shame I didn't use my phone. It was like a navigator! I ended up with a fine. Put a phone holder and a list of fines in your cars! In the end both customers and you will have less problems and more positive feedback. Other than that, the rest of the car and the pickup and return is SUPER.
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.

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
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
Everything went well, but the driver was an hour late when I got the car, but he warned me about it. The most important thing is that I was not charged for a scratch on the bumper, which was found when handing over the car, I did not even know about it, someone must have hit it in the parking lot in my absence. So the experience is positive.
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
Booked the cheapest car through aggregator with advance payment without deposit . I got a new carolla without increasing the amount, paid with visa. I shook out the mats and filled up the tank. Checked for new damage, no extra charge.
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
Everything went well. We replaced the car to a higher class without any extra charges. The only thing on the return, I had a return on their day off, we agreed with an employee about the meeting and I was sent from one manager to another. In the end, no one met with me and said to leave the car on the forgiveness of the business center, and the keys to leave the guard. And thus did not take the money for the salik. After 3 months they sent a link to pay for toll roads. In general everything went well.
Peugeot 3008 in the UAE
The car is excellent. No problems with pickup and drop off, everything on time. The price was satisfactory, the lack of deposit is very convenient. I am satisfied with the fact that I ordered the car through your site. I will recommend to my friends. Next year I hope to use your services again.

Toyota Camry in the UAE
I got an Audi A3 instead of a Camry, it didn't affect me in any way. Everything went perfectly, I received it in Dubai mall and handed it over at the airport. There were no problems, the price was fine. The landlord was always in touch. Feedback on the site, also everything is fine, it is convenient that you can pay by RF card, in the UAE paid through Union Pay. I would like to be able to pay 100% of the rent on the site, 15-20% to write off and the rest with a hold and then write off after the fact, so as not to pay directly to the landlord. It was very convenient that there was no deductible or deposit.
