What our users say
BMW 420i Cabrio in the UAE
everything went great
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
In the end we rented a Toyota Corolla, in general the condition is not bad, but a lot of scratches on the outside and inside stains on the upholstery (we fixed everything ourselves and in the documents). Receipt was in BC, no signage, barely found with the help of an employee! I suggest to add a sign on the internal window in the common hall and to specify details in the message in e-mail. To surrender the car it was necessary to park it somewhere near the BC, wait for 15 minutes and put a signature on the tablet of the receiving employee: everything is in order. In general, everything was satisfactory, the car was well-equipped (I requested cruise control and it was there, they also connected a smartphone to the stereo), price-quality, we rented the car with hull insurance, no deposit.
Chevrolet Tahoe in the UAE
Everything went great. The car was the one I booked. Everything on time, and convenient! Everyone is always on the phone if you need help or questions.
Mitsubishi Xpander in the UAE
Everything went great! Thank you!
Mitsubishi ASX in the UAE
Everything went perfectly! The car we chose was clean, new and new! The driver was in touch with us before the rental and before the rental. Before the rental, the driver waited patiently while we looked everything over, answered all questions and explained everything to us no matter what we asked. A day's worth of fines were written which we assumed, of course we had unextended parking. It was agreed with the driver that we would hand him cash to pay the fine. The deposit was returned very quickly - and this is a big and fat plus. In general, very satisfied with your service ! Thank you for this
Geely Coolray in the UAE
I liked it. The car is good. Handed over clean and in good working order. Everything was clearly recorded. Also everything was quickly taken back! Technically the car during the whole period of stay did not fail! I liked everything!
Audi Q3 in the UAE
Everything is great with the car - fresh, minimal mileage, clean, delivered/picked up on time. The only roughnesses - a lot of contact persons, not always gave correct information. For example, the mileage on the website indicated 250km/day, when the car was delivered they assured that 150/day, then in fact in the contract it turned out to be 250/day. Or, for example, when returning the car - I had to talk to 3 people in sequence until they gave me the number of the driver who took the car. In general, this is not a problem, but rather a point that can be paid attention to
MG 5/GT in the UAE

Excellent service! Everything is clear on the time of delivery of the car, even in advance. The car corresponds to the description, everything is in good condition. The lessor is always in touch, explained everything, advised. Price = quality! I recommend to everyone!
Kia Sorento in the UAE
I was expected to take exactly same car as I ordered but they give me Mitsubishi Outlander, the steering wheel always turned to the right even on a flat road, I had to constantly steer it to go straight which was not ok. Overall, car was not on good condition at all.
