What our users say
Ford Mustang GT Cabrio in the UAE
I wish it were better. There are no questions about the car. I didn’t like two things: 1. We received the car with 10 km of petrol left. We nearly died out while we found a gas station. Upon arrival, I wanted to relax and not to be puzzled where to find a gas station. As a result, we devoted half of the evening to this issue instead of just traveling on business. 2. Delivery of a car - a person is late, it is very difficult to communicate, he does not understand anything and can not get through in any way. We were late for the event due to a delay in submission. Delayed not inspection of the car, namely the arrival of a person. In the end, it wasn't even he who came. To be honest, there is no desire to use the service again. The experience is rather negative than positive. If the fuel policy is principled, they would have warned in advance, I would have paid for a full tank.

do not return the deposit, cheat! I contacted the site administration, they said they would solve the problem, but they stopped contacting me, they say they will transfer wait for me, but I've been waiting for 2 months and still do not transfer, they have holidays or something else, now they stopped responding to messages! I highly do not recommend to rent a car in this company!
Mazda 6 in the UAE
Everything was perfect. I am very satisfied
Nissan X-Terra in the UAE
I liked everything. The rental service itself is very convenient, you can put filters and customize the car to your request - this is a huge plus. Also the prices through TakeCars are lower than doing it directly through the rental company. Convenient way to pay and book a car with a Russian card. Quick confirmation. The rental company itself and the car is in good order, no comments. We received exactly the car that was on the photo and in the description, without substitutions. The only thing is that we made a little mistake with the car, we should have taken something more mobile and dynamic
Hyundai Elantra in the UAE
Disgusting, they gave me a dirty car.
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.
Hyundai Tucson in the UAE
it was very good, 9 from 10. The only thing I did not get the model i chosed at site, but the car offered was aslo suitable and good. I liked the process of car delivery to hotel - everyting was on time.
Kia Pegas in the UAE
thanks very good
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
In principle, everything is good, the only thing when getting the car the driver did not have change, you had to pay 355 dollars, I gave 400 and when returning the car did not give change, they said to check the fines and toll roads.
Kia K5 in the UAE
In general everything was good, the cars were great, everything worked well, no problems). BUT the discipline of managers - leaves much to be desired. Not when receiving or returning the car, the driver could not arrive on time. We waited for him for 1.5 hours each time.
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
everything went perfectly! The car was delivered on time, we brought another car, but it was even better (higher class and newer). We were in touch, we were allowed to extend the lease for an additional day, and we picked up the car without any problems. In general, we were very satisfied.
Kia Pegas in the UAE
Everything went well. It was a huge plus for us that we could communicate with you in Russian and pay with a Russian card. We received and returned the car without any problems. Next time we will turn to you. Thank you.
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!
