What our users say
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
Everything went well. The car was delivered exactly as I ordered it by the time I ordered it. The only problem with payment was with MIR cards, but we agreed for cash and deposit together. The deposit was returned minus the car wash as agreed.
Nissan Kicks in the UAE

Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
Mashi is in excellent condition, no issues whatsoever.
Suzuki Dzire in the UAE
Great company, I recommend it to everyone and will gladly refer myself if needed! I needed to rent a car for 11 days in September 2025. I found an offer on TakeCars, the car was Suzuk Dzire, in correspondence the guys offered KIA Pegas for the same price, for which they are grateful). Communication took place in WhatsApp, they answer quickly, in detail, favorably, on the merits. The deposit for the car can be transferred in rubles to a Russian card, which is very convenient, the return of the deposit on time, also on the card. I would like to note separately that the company has free delivery and return of the car to Al Maktoum airport - other companies charge extra for this service. On arrival the car was waiting for me in the parking lot at the airport, the car is 2024, with low mileage, in excellent condition. Clean, with a full tank. Drove for 11 days about a thousand kilometers, no problems. The rent was paid in cash dirhams, by agreement returned the car, leaving it in the parking lot at the airport - fast and convenient. Summing up, the most favorable impression of the company remained: the cost of rent, convenience of registration, the condition of the car, the level of customer orientation of the company. - everything is at the highest level! Thank you very much for the high level of service, attitude to the client and responsibility. Success and prosperity to you!

Mazda 6 in the UAE

Mazda 6 in the UAE
Very convenient. I booked the car a week before my arrival. Paid for the reservation directly on the site with a Russian card (which could not fail to please) The car was in excellent condition, clean and fueled. Strictly at the appointed place and time. The employee of the lessor, although he did not speak Russian, showed me everything, pointed out the faults on the car, gave me the contract to sign. Then I spent 4 days driving around the UAE on this beauty. The return of the car was also quick and without any problems. I recommend this service!
Kia K5 in the UAE
Delayed delivery of the car by 3 hours, otherwise everything was ok
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
I monitored various sites, and chose this one because other aggregators do not accept Russian cards. The price here was a little more expensive, but there was no deposit. The car was delivered to the airport as I had ordered. Upon arrival we called and met at once. The car is new, the mileage was 6,5 thousand kilometers. The engine felt quite weak, but it is economical and the trunk is big. When returning the renter was half an hour late, so I advise you to return with time to spare. I also advise you to change money into dirhams before getting the car, so that the necessary amount was without change. I recommend Localcarhires and this rental company.
Nissan X-Terra in the UAE
We ordered another vehicle with 7 seats, but Jetour was available. For me, as a lover of frame Japanese SUVs, it was an interesting experience. The car from the Celestial Empire turned out to be surprisingly new, quite fast, well controlled and fast. It lacked smoothness and spaciousness in the cabin, but for a week of new impressions more than enough! Loved the rental company, very friendly at drop off and pick up. It's just a pity they couldn't accept the full amount from the card (from Russian Federation), so next time I will prefer to pay the full amount through "Take Cars"
Infiniti Q50 in the UAE
Everything went great! The car matched the description on the website. No problem! I am very glad that I contacted you!
Toyota Camry in the UAE
They did not return the deposit in full, the car was in bad condition, I had to ask for a replacement. When leaving the airport, an Arab woman drove into me, no help. I had to deal with everything myself. Lots of questions, no answers.
Kia Seltos in the UAE
Overall went well except for getting the car - had to wait an hour at the airport, and got the car without washing and cleaning after previous customers. Other than that, everything was fine.
