From the awe-inspiring Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi to the bustling Dubai Mall and the sparkling gold souks, there's a wealth of sights to see. Don't miss unique spots like Dubai's Garden of Wonders, all within easy reach by car.

With our 24/7 roadside assistance, help is always just a call away for any inquiries you might have. Additionally, enjoy the flexibility of free cancellations up to seven days before your trip and take advantage of promotional discounts like "LOCAL".

Where to rent a car in the UAE

If you're setting out in your rented car in the UAE, consider visiting these world-renowned tourist destinations:

Mercedes-Benz C300 Cabrio in the UAE

In general, getting the car is easy, the car as in the order, no deposit. Minus, the car is tired, a lot of chips, scratches and the interior is grated. It is difficult to accept such a car.

Nissan Kicks in the UAE

I liked the service. The car was fresh, comfortable. No deposit was required. When receiving everything I took pictures and video (there were some small bumps on the body), when handing it over I checked it - signed the documents and that's it. There were no problems. In the future I will also rent here. For Russians such companies are a salvation, because we can't leave a deposit as before).

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

Nissan Kicks in the UAE

We were satisfied with the ordering service, the payment and the car. The car was in excellent condition, practically new 2024. It was convenient that the rental was deposit-free and we could pay for everything with a Russian card.

Nissan Kicks in the UAE

The rent went well, the car arrived on time, a good almost new car, took a deposit, then it was returned, the only thing that was not in time was the delivery of the car, because we came for him later by 4 hours, because on the way broke a wheel, but it did not cause any inconvenience, because we left the keys at the reception and sent a video of the rented car. In general satisfied. Next time I will rent a car in this company and will recommend it to my friends.

MG 5/GT in the UAE

everything went perfectly. we stood for a long time at passport control on arrival, picked up the car an hour later than it was specified when ordering. as agreed in advance, we paid the remaining amount in cash. we filled out a rental form, photographed the car from the outside and inside for all the chips and scratches, gasoline level. We asked how to leave the parking lot, the man showed us the receipt, we attached it to the parking lot, paid 13 dirhams for the previous day (apparently the car was brought there in advance). there were no problems with refueling. our navigator also worked well everywhere. by and large we needed the car to get from Abu Dhabi to Dubai and back, and to go to amusement parks with children, so we did not drive much. When we handed over the car we wrote to the operator on WhatsApp, he explained where to come and where to wait for the driver to pick up the car. when handing over the car we paid cash for the toll roads, there were no fines. we handed over the keys and flew home. we are very satisfied with the work of the rental company. we only have questions about the car itself, probably we should have chosen a better, newer and more expensive car from the beginning, it turned out a bit different from what we are used to. It seemed that the car was dirty, the windshield glass was a bit cloudy, as if oil, well, and the ride felt like the car had not been in service for a long time. for us it was not critical, as we did not plan to drive a lot, from hotel to hotel only, so we did not bother. next time we will choose a car of another brand, more expensive. Overall I can give 4.5 out of 5 points. we will contact again

Hyundai Elantra in the UAE

I liked that the car was practically new, with a mileage of 3200 km. In general, everything went well, there were no problems. Of the minuses: bad feedback from your employees as a company that provides rental services. I had several questions that I wanted to know the information for, I was sent to the rental office, they themselves could not give an answer or did not want to. I also learned a little at the rental office, maybe people were busy there, or maybe they had non-working hours, I didn’t understand. The answers were short. If I were a less experienced traveler, I would be very worried about a rental car. By the way, the rental office does not respond during non-working hours, but your employees send to the rental office. I would like to be more customer-oriented, all the same, I order a car from you, and not somewhere else. Another surprise was the attempt of the person who gave the car to sell us full insurance. He convinced me that I bought insurance from your company and in case of problems I would need to contact you, but he could not help in any way. But if you buy from him, it will be easier, simpler and in general it will be more correct. I ended up leaving your insurance because it was cheaper :) Well, I would like more clarity on how and where to take and rent a car. I contacted the man from the rental office and he explained to me tersely. A detailed and up-to-date (!) instruction from you would be a big plus for your company. At least for me, as a tourist in an unfamiliar country, it would be calmer, even if the instruction was redundant.

Hyundai Kona in the UAE

Overall everything went great and I was satisfied. The car is good, in good condition. It was a different brand, but of the same class, so it was not critical. The only thing that confused me was that they did not give me any documents for the car. They promised to send it on WhatsApp, but I drove for 2 weeks without documents). At the end of the rental there was a strange situation. It was Sunday morning, I came to hand over the car, but the office was closed, the phones were disconnected, although the day before, on Saturday, we contacted and confirmed the completion of the lease. I ended up leaving the car at the office with the keys in the cabin, a video report was sent to the contact numbers. Otherwise no problems and I was satisfied with both price and quality! Will definitely contact you in the future! Thank you!

Nissan X-Terra in the UAE

The car was picked up and handed over late at night, we were kept, and when handed over, not even inspected, just asked to park send a photo and give the keys to the guard. Conveniently no deposit, the car is very comfortable. The attitude to the client is good. We have looked through a lot of offers before and in my opinion they offer the best conditions!!!!. If I come again, I will definitely turn to them.
