What our users say
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
We took the car in September 2024. The car suited us in everything. We did not immediately get to grips with the Dubai interchanges, but having figured out the navigator, we quickly oriented ourselves. Yandex navigator works well. No problems with receipt and return. Since it is forbidden to park cars at the airport, we received and handed it in the city office, where we were kindly delivered by the company's employees. The car did not let us down once, it was obedient in driving. We were able to independently travel to different beaches, went to Abu Dhabi to the mosque of Sheikh Zayed. The company and the car are reliable, I recommend it.
Nissan Sunny in the UAE

Mazda CX-5 in the UAE
I liked everything, the car is great, they took me quickly! Only in the beginning it took a long time to get the car, because they had problems with the reservation system, I had to wait an hour and a half.
Suzuki Ciaz in the UAE
Everything went great, I was completely satisfied.
Mazda CX-5 in the UAE
Everything went as well as it always does. They brought the car to the hotel, handed it over. We enjoyed the trip in a new car. We left it in the hotel parking lot, keys at reception and that was it.
Mercedes-Benz GLC300 in the UAE
Everything went great, all expectations were met!
MG ZS in the UAE
it's okay)
Nissan Kicks in the UAE
I used the Take Cars service. Unfortunately the first chosen car was not confirmed, but the service quickly found an alternative, even on more favorable terms. I received and handed over the car at Almaktum airport, we managed to agree without extra fees. And what is important, I did not leave any deposit for the car itself, which is very rare. I am completely satisfied with the service.
Mercedes-Benz C300 Cabrio in the UAE
On 21.12.2023 rented a Mercedes convertible car in the UAE DUBAI. On your website and in the booking documents it was stated that no deposit was required! On December 21 the driver arrived, was late for the appointed time and demanded a deposit. The deposit had to be made in cash or by card at the terminal. We did not have this amount in cash, the cards are Russian. The driver refused the service and drove away. In WhatsApp with the Russian-speaking manager we agreed that the driver would return, provide the service, and we would send the deposit to the Russian card. All this took a very long time, the driver came back, checked us in, handed over the car, meaning we took the car 2-3 hours late. We decided to clarify with the manager of your company, whether the next day we can give the car a little later, because we took it later than the necessary time. The answer we got was that no problem, it's not a big deal. We asked for the car for 2 hours later. All correspondence, conversations with this manager are available. At the appointed time for the driver, the driver was again late and arrived 40-50 minutes later. We were told that the deposit would be refunded within 18 business days. We were also told that the deposit is an amount that is taken to write off fines and road tolls. After a while we were sent a document and the deposit was returned. BUT! the deposit was transferred to us at a rate at which we lost a lot of money! At least no one told us that the exchange rate during the transfer will be such and you will lose money. Deposit is basically the cost, which is returned in full amount!!!!. Most importantly we were counted 2 full days! With all the arrangements. The manager promised to sort out the situation and refund the money for the second day. In the end, a few weeks later, for him just began to answer another person who does not even get into the situation Please resolve the issue. It's been more than 2 months, reviews of your firm are good, would not want to solve the issue in a legislative way, appeal to the police.
