Mazda 6 in the UAE
everything was fine.
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.

Everything was super. Thank you so much
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🤟😎
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
The car was brought to the address, for this they took an additional 100 aedes, which was not warned anywhere, just in fact after paying the rent the agent said that you still need to pay extra. The reservation was for a day from 14 to 14, in the evening of the same day I wrote to the agent with the name Akil in watsapp that I want to extend for 2 more days, I asked the cost of renting each day, he wrote 11 aedes, I asked for an invoice for payment, it was at 22 pm on the day of renting, that is, it was still 16 hours before the end of the paid day. The bill was not sent to me. I planned a trip for the next day. The car was filled with gasoline on half a tank. But I decided to fill it up, it came out to 78 aedes. Only at 15 o'clock the next day another agent writes me that I have to pay, the sum for 2 days - 288 aedes. This pissed me off, as I read this message by accident, my phone caught wifi in the shopping center. Why wasn't the payment issue resolved in the morning when there was still internet in the hotel? I texted that I would return the car but in 2-3 hours. In the end around 17 hours wrote Akil that they can take the car. But it was standing until the next day, several people from different numbers in sucksap demanded to pay those unfortunate 144 aedes. But I used the car +3 hours to the paid hours and paid for gasoline for 78 aedes (by the way in rubles it turned out to be 70 rubles per liter, we were so surprised, all say about cheap gasoline in the UAE, but it was more expensive than in Russia). As a result, the car was taken away at 15 o'clock the next day. I left the UAE. And after almost a month this Akil writes to me again on WhatsApp that they will demand payment for + 1 day 144 dirhams through the court. I would have paid immediately an additional 288 aedes, but not stated +100 aedes when renting, and the fact that the bill for renewal did not send in advance very much pissed off. Different agents write from different numbers in watsapp, each other do not pass information. The number of the office is not, because when signing the documents did not leave me any contract. Only slips from the payment terminal. I highly do not recommend renting from Akil. He also sent voice messages instead of text - well class, it is a tourist a priori without internet.

Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
everything went well. There was no Mitsubishi so we were given a solaris, which suited us fine. They explained everything and showed us no problems.
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
everything went perfectly! The car was delivered on time, we brought another car, but it was even better (higher class and newer). We were in touch, we were allowed to extend the lease for an additional day, and we picked up the car without any problems. In general, we were very satisfied.
Renault Megane Sedan in the UAE
The rental car went very well. They met us at the airport, showed us the car and helped us get settled. Of the minuses, the manager forgot to give us the key and had to run to the airport building to get it, and he did not tell us how much airport parking was paid and we had to pay extra for it later. Our rent a car we were very satisfied with. The manager answered our questions about driving the car. At the end of renting, I was contacted by WhatsApp one day in advance to clarify whether all plans are in force. I rented the car at the agreed place near the airport, then we were driven to the airport. I was very pleased with the rental and have already recommended your service to my friends to rent a car.
