What our users say
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
Overall all good. The company made an upgrade to a Renault Megane, new, 3000km mileage. The car is good, except for the box kicking. I also used toll roads, they have not sent me a bill for them yet, which is strange.
Suzuki Ciaz in the UAE
I rented a Suzuki from February 22 to 25 of this year but received a Nissan instead an hour late from the appointed time. The car was in terrible condition, due to lack of time to wait for another car, I was forced to pick this one up and the first thing I did was go to the car wash. The fuel level was slightly higher than the empty tank, but I returned it with the same level. The driver who brought the car was very friendly. The manager with whom I contacted via WhatsApp kindly prepared all the documents in advance and receiving the car at the airport terminal took only a few minutes. After returning the car to the same place, I was told that after 14 days I could receive the cash deposit back. After two weeks, I contacted the manager about payment but could not get an answer for 4 days. in the end, after four days of silence, they told me that they meant 14 working days and that the period expires this week, and the money will be transferred to me on Monday of the next week, that is, March 18th. Overall I was pleased. Will I use the services of "takecars.com" again? - Probably yes. Thank you. Best wishes.
Nissan Kicks in the UAE
Everything went well. Ran 1800km in 13 days
Mitsubishi Xpander in the UAE
everything went great. Instead of a Mitsubishi Xpander, we were given a brand new VW Teramont, driven to the car, picked up from the car afterwards.
Nissan Kicks in the UAE
Everything is good, I recommend to rent. I rented a Nissan Kicks, the car is new with minimal mileage, the interior is clean. The lease itself is transparent, no problems when renting the car.
Honda HR-V in the UAE
Everything was fine.On the last day because of local holidays there were no free drivers to pick up cars from the hotel. As a result, we had one more day of free riding, i.e. free of charge. It turns out that it is not Friday, but Sunday parking is free.
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.
Mazda 6 in the UAE
Excellent car, better than stated, new, clean interior, almost in perfect condition. No surcharges, super, enjoyed it.
Hyundai Kona in the UAE
I rented a car from TakeCars, I was satisfied with the service, I can definitely recommend it to tourists. One of the big pluses is that you can rent a car without a deposit. I ordered Hyundai Kona, they gave me another car of the same class (Hyundai creta), it was important for me that there was carplay, it was there, it worked without problems. The car was delivered to the hotel, we examined it and accepted it. When handing over the car the employee did not have time to take it from us before our departure from the hotel, asked to send a photo and leave the keys at the reception. We provided a photo via whats app, in response we received "ok" and left the keys at reception. In general, everything worked out super !
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.
Kia K5 in the UAE
Delayed delivery of the car by 3 hours, otherwise everything was ok
Mazda 6 in the UAE
everything is great, no problems, everything is quick and easy
Toyota C-HR in the UAE
