Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
In the end we rented a Toyota Corolla, in general the condition is not bad, but a lot of scratches on the outside and inside stains on the upholstery (we fixed everything ourselves and in the documents). Receipt was in BC, no signage, barely found with the help of an employee! I suggest to add a sign on the internal window in the common hall and to specify details in the message in e-mail. To surrender the car it was necessary to park it somewhere near the BC, wait for 15 minutes and put a signature on the tablet of the receiving employee: everything is in order. In general, everything was satisfactory, the car was well-equipped (I requested cruise control and it was there, they also connected a smartphone to the stereo), price-quality, we rented the car with hull insurance, no deposit.
Kia Seltos in the UAE
Overall went well except for getting the car - had to wait an hour at the airport, and got the car without washing and cleaning after previous customers. Other than that, everything was fine.
Kia Pegas in the UAE
everything went great
Mercedes-Benz GLC300 in the UAE
I liked everything, everything was done quickly, the car was very good. The only thing is that we received the deposit only after 1.5 months. The money arrived 3 times and the bank commission took 200 dirhams.
Jetour X70 in the UAE
everything went well
Hyundai Accent in the UAE
No refund of deposit
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
Everything was good, the condition of the car was good, clean. The manager was polite and explained everything. Only there was one minus rear camera in the car did not work, I damaged the car when I was backing up. But so everything is great! Thank you!
Renault Megane Sedan in the UAE
Everything went fine. The car was in good condition, the manager explained everything about the UAE. The only thing that was bothersome was the traffic with rather impudent driving habits, even in Thailand it seemed easier to me).
Hyundai Tucson in the UAE
All good except for one thing - they gave not Tucson but MG 1.5l, roars good, rides bad.... Well... I came to have a rest instead of to swear, took what was given, on return tried to explain that the car does not correspond to the armored and well would discount... at least for the cost of a sink and a vacuum cleaner (gave a little dirty, got lost on the road and did not have time to wash)...
Mitsubishi Xpander in the UAE
everything was fine. Thank you.
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
Everything went well. The car was delivered exactly as I ordered it by the time I ordered it. The only problem with payment was with MIR cards, but we agreed for cash and deposit together. The deposit was returned minus the car wash as agreed.
