What our users say
Kia K5 in the UAE
Everything went well :) The guys met us at the airport, the car was handed over in good condition, payment was accepted by unionpay card - it turned out to be a nice bonus for us, because initially the information was that only cash was accepted. They don't speak Russian at all, but we understood each other, we agreed where we would meet when returning the car so that we wouldn't have to pay for parking. From there we were taken to the terminal. We have already recommended your resource to several acquaintances on the basis of our positive experience.
Hyundai Accent in the UAE
in principle normal everything went well, but did not meet at the airport in the terminal, drove an hour changed drivers phone in I thought I would not get the car, then the delivery was carried out in an underground parking lot in the dark, well videotaped, did not note the scratch and wanted to hang it on me, but I showed the video and all questions dropped, the only thing I took without a deposit, but now sent payment of saliki
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
I really enjoyed renting a car through your website. The car was delivered to the hotel and picked up at the hotel too. The price is low. He paid in cash. They didn't take the deposit. Next time, I also want to rent a car through your website. Thank you.
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.
Citroen C5 Aircross in the UAE
Everything was very good. I liked it. The car was new, and very good.
Jetour Dashing in the UAE
The Company does not provide an invoice. The executing company did not hand out the car without cash payment although credit card payment was mentioned by LocalCarHires.
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
Everything went well, but the driver was an hour late when I got the car, but he warned me about it. The most important thing is that I was not charged for a scratch on the bumper, which was found when handing over the car, I did not even know about it, someone must have hit it in the parking lot in my absence. So the experience is positive.
Hyundai Sonata in the UAE
Everything was fine, the pickup was good, the car was nice. It's okay.
Volkswagen Atlas in the UAE

Volkswagen Passat in the UAE

Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
In general, everything went not bad, only the deposit was returned long and hard.
Nissan Kicks in the UAE
Great car rental service! Recently rented a Nissan Kicks car and was very satisfied! The car was almost new in good condition, clean and fueled. The paperwork took minimum time - Farook manager drove the car to the hotel, helped to inspect the car, fixed all the damage on the body, explained everything clearly and without unnecessary questions. Prices are adequate, without hidden commissions. I took out full insurance just in case. For 10 days of rent no problems with the car. I did not break any traffic rules, did not drive on toll roads. The return of the car also went without any problems. On the day of return, Farook manager called, arranged a place near the airport, washed the car before the return, checked the car, no new damage was found, then we were taken to the airport. Farook is the best, provides high level of service👍 If you need a reliable car rental with honest terms, I recommend this company! Will definitely apply again.
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.
