Nissan Patrol in the UAE
Great company, great service! Work with a variety of payment solutions The cost is very reasonable. Picked up a Nissan Patrol in May 2025 with delivery and drop off in Ras Al Khaimah. The car is in excellent condition. Representatives and managers are polite, everything is on time and on schedule. Recommended!
Nissan Kicks in the UAE
Thank you very much for the excellent work, rented a car from March 08 to March 14, the car is new, mileage five thousand, excellent rental conditions, good prices, I recommend a hundred percent. 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).
Mercedes-Benz A45-S in the UAE
Nice!
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
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
everything went well. There was no Mitsubishi so we were given a solaris, which suited us fine. They explained everything and showed us no problems.
Hyundai Elantra in the UAE
Everything went well. No complaints at all. The car was better than the original booking. The car was clean, both inside and outside. They answered all my questions, told me what to pay attention to when driving in the UAE. All questions were answered promptly during the rental period. Thank you very much!
Nissan Kicks in the UAE
Everything went well, the car was new and clean. It was not very easy to find the office, but we sorted it out. Next time I think I will contact them too!
Mazda 6 in the UAE
The car was delivered to Dubai Al Maktoum airport, as it was stated in very good condition. Small chips on the bumpers, small scuffs on the body, almost not noticeable. We rented for 10 days, all without problems. Surrendered also at the same airport, before that made a comprehensive wash. We were in a bit of a hurry when we turned it in, so we parked and left the keys on the front tire. Thank you very much for the service!
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
Thank you! Everything went well. Happy with the service
Nissan Altima in the UAE
Booked the car in March 2024. Received the car at Sharjah airport at the end of the trip and handed it back at the airport. The car is in very good condition, the transfer was quick. We traveled 6 emirates in 10 days. Everything is perfect. Returned as agreed with a full tank of gasoline and clean (went to the car wash). The only point, the deposit was returned 2.5 months. Otherwise everything was OK, the company was always in touch.
