What our users say
Mazda 6 in the UAE
Everything went great 👍 no complaints at all
Kia Seltos in the UAE
Frankly speaking, "well, such a thing" The request for transfer from the airport has been falsified, as a result, I had to go separately for the car and also to hand it over, in the presence of a large oversized luggage (for this purpose the car was taken). Communication from the guys on the spot was below the plinth, I could barely get the car back (with fluent spoken English on my part). In general, I will definitely not take it again, I will look for something else From the good - the car is fresh
Mercedes-Benz GLC300 in the UAE
didn't have a glc, they gave me another car. Said it was broken.
Nissan Kicks in the UAE
In general, we are satisfied. We will come back in December to take the car again. Thank you
Mini Cooper S Cabrio in the UAE
We used the services of this company from 18.12.2025 to 22.12.2025 in Dubai. We were completely satisfied. It is very convenient that the guys are Russian-speaking. The day before the car was issued, they contacted us and asked for the driver's documents, it reduced the time when signing the contract. We took Mini Cooper S Cabrio. Brought to the hotel, left at the airport. Although it is not free, but very convenient. We are very satisfied with the Cooper, fresh year, technically everything is perfect. For three and a half days we drove 1000 km. For Dubai is the perfect car, and a trip through the night city in a convertible, just fire. Manager Denis (thank him very much), all clearly explained the car, told about the peculiarities of behavior behind the wheel in the Emirates. was always on the phone. I took a zero deductible (which is $100 more expensive), but I realized that if you are careful when driving, driving in cities and on the highway in the UAE is no more complicated than Russian roads, and in some ways even easier. We paid only 60 dirhams for the toll roads, without any fines. We are grateful to these guys for a good time in the Emirates. in the future we will only use the services of this company.
Geely Coolray in the UAE
Everything was great 👍 even better than we imagined. The car was new, delivered to the address, time agreed in advance. Thank you very much! We will definitely rent more cars from you. It is very cool that the issue of prepayment for Russian tourists is solved, it is very valuable.
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
Booked the cheapest car through aggregator with advance payment without deposit . I got a new carolla without increasing the amount, paid with visa. I shook out the mats and filled up the tank. Checked for new damage, no extra charge.
Nissan Altima in the UAE
Rented a car in April 2024 for 2 weeks. Excellent car, everything went well. The company is very helpful in everything, it was nice to talk to Ildar, an employee of the company.
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.
Mazda CX-30 in the UAE
everything went well. No problem bringing and picking up the car. The car was practically new !!!
Mazda 6 in the UAE
Mazda 6 is a good car. I didn't have any issues. What could be improved about service is: 1) provide basic information about stalls 2) how often car should be washed (hopefully I won't receive any tickets) to prevent police tickets 3) Tricky tickets. Like when you ride close on the motorway, the camera catches this and you will receive a ticket for close riding to next car. I didn't know about it, and had to google. 4) insurance. In all European countries if you take a full coverage it means I don't care if someone on the car parking will open their door and the car will be damaged. It's very strange that I need to check car every time and call the police for report. Especially you can get a ticket if they in case of they won't find any damage or damage that happened earlier and I didn't spot it. I prefer do not to call police for each small damage and I don't want to pay for that if I get full coverage.
Kia Picanto in the UAE
The rental staff is very friendly! The car is not new, but it's good! The rental office is conveniently located, not far from the subway. The deposit was returned on time
Kia K5 in the UAE
Everything was great, just don't have time to write )) Everything went well with the rental, the car was brought to the airport on time, easy to find, quickly formalized everything. The car was in very good condition. At the reception I looked at one damage, and the lessor could have taken compensation from me (so I thought someone hit me in the parking lot), but he honestly reported that this damage was already there, this attitude is very pleased. I give it a 5!
