What our users say
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
everything was great! No complaints.
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.
Nissan Kicks in the UAE
The car was provided as described. My flight was delayed, so we had to agree on another time, so there were no problems. I took photos and video in the airport parking lot and left the keys in the car. So far everything is fine.
Hyundai Creta in the UAE
Everything went very well.
Geely Coolray in the UAE
Car was great, in good condition and low mileage. Clean, no damage of any kind. The registration process was easy and quick. The only problem was at the stage of returning the car - the company has a parking lot near the office for the return, but it was occupied when we came to return the car and we drove around in circles in the area, trying to find free time and in parallel communicating with the manager. In the end we spent more than an hour, but we could not leave the car and came the next day in the morning (at 7 am), when there were no cars in the parking lot and handed over the keys with the car. Apart from these problems, everything else was great! For Russian citizens, this service is a lifesaver, as no deposit is needed.
Mitsubishi Xpander in the UAE
Thank you very much to the firm. When I visit the UAE, I will turn to you. The car was brought to the hotel, as indicated, half an hour earlier than the appointed time, clean. Filling out documents and inspection of the car took 15-20 minutes. Picked up the same near the hotel. Overall - I recommend👍 Thank you again, the vacation was a success🤟😎
Chevrolet Captiva in the UAE
Everything went fine. But only I did not understand why I paid some extra fine. There is a moment when I gave the car away, corresponded with three people, and it is not clear who was supposed to come, as a result, 2 employees of the company arrived for the car.
Renault Megane Sedan in the UAE
Everything is great. The car corresponded to the stated, conditions too. All questions were answered on the spot. There were no mishaps. I recommend
GAC GN 8 in the UAE
Everything was fine. Only the driver didn't show up for the change and didn't warn me about it. I wrote and called him. The company did not give me any instructions on what to do in this case.
Chevrolet Aveo in the UAE
Everything went well. The only thing was that we had a long meeting with the car delivery driver. As we would have liked him to meet us in the arrival area, but in the end he met us at the fifth exit of the departure area, which is not very convenient at a large airport. The landlord charged 100 dirhams for washing the car, which will be deducted from the deposit. I am waiting for the deposit to be returned. And so the car is quite working, although a little battered by life, but for this money for the UAE it is a sin to complain
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.
Hyundai Sonata in the UAE
Everything was fine, the pickup was good, the car was nice. It's okay.
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
