What our users say
Audi Q3 in the UAE
Everything is great with the car - fresh, minimal mileage, clean, delivered/picked up on time. The only roughnesses - a lot of contact persons, not always gave correct information. For example, the mileage on the website indicated 250km/day, when the car was delivered they assured that 150/day, then in fact in the contract it turned out to be 250/day. Or, for example, when returning the car - I had to talk to 3 people in sequence until they gave me the number of the driver who took the car. In general, this is not a problem, but rather a point that can be paid attention to
Toyota Highlander Hybrid in the UAE
They brought another car, it ran out of oil on the second day, but they replaced it with a new volkswagen. Overall satisfied with everything, everyone was welcome. Thank you very much
Nissan Kicks in the UAE
Everything went great, thank you.
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
In general, everything is fine. On the downside, the car was not a Mitsubishi Attrage, but a Nissan Synny. And I also had to replace the first car - the rear view camera did not work. Otherwise, everything is fine.
Geely Coolray in the UAE
Car was great, in good condition and low mileage. Clean, no damage of any kind. The registration process was easy and quick. The only problem was at the stage of returning the car - the company has a parking lot near the office for the return, but it was occupied when we came to return the car and we drove around in circles in the area, trying to find free time and in parallel communicating with the manager. In the end we spent more than an hour, but we could not leave the car and came the next day in the morning (at 7 am), when there were no cars in the parking lot and handed over the keys with the car. Apart from these problems, everything else was great! For Russian citizens, this service is a lifesaver, as no deposit is needed.
Toyota Yaris Ativ in the UAE
Everything went great. The deposit was returned on time. Thank you
Suzuki Dzire in the UAE
Great company, I recommend it to everyone and will gladly refer myself if needed! I needed to rent a car for 11 days in September 2025. I found an offer on TakeCars, the car was Suzuk Dzire, in correspondence the guys offered KIA Pegas for the same price, for which they are grateful). Communication took place in WhatsApp, they answer quickly, in detail, favorably, on the merits. The deposit for the car can be transferred in rubles to a Russian card, which is very convenient, the return of the deposit on time, also on the card. I would like to note separately that the company has free delivery and return of the car to Al Maktoum airport - other companies charge extra for this service. On arrival the car was waiting for me in the parking lot at the airport, the car is 2024, with low mileage, in excellent condition. Clean, with a full tank. Drove for 11 days about a thousand kilometers, no problems. The rent was paid in cash dirhams, by agreement returned the car, leaving it in the parking lot at the airport - fast and convenient. Summing up, the most favorable impression of the company remained: the cost of rent, convenience of registration, the condition of the car, the level of customer orientation of the company. - everything is at the highest level! Thank you very much for the high level of service, attitude to the client and responsibility. Success and prosperity to you!

Kia K5 in the UAE
From the minuses - it was indicated that the car may be different, but the same class - about what car you find out after the fact, for someone it may be critical (not for us) The start of the rental was a little delayed, but since we were informed of the delay in advance we made a normal arrangement Overall, it was very convenient in terms of communication The car is also in excellent condition - clean We liked it, decided that if we go again, we will also take the car).
Geely Coolray in the UAE
Everything was good, except for one moment with giving the car, there is no parking in front of the office, which is surprising and we wrote several times that we would bring the car in the morning, we then had a flight, we were told that we would be met, in the end closed doors, the phone to which no one answers, and we to the airport Thank God the manager picked up the phone.
Mercedes-Benz GLC300 in the UAE
didn't have a glc, they gave me another car. Said it was broken.
Volkswagen Jetta in the UAE
There was a minor technical fault - if I wasn't an experienced driver, it would have been a major problem
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
Everything went well, but the driver was an hour late when I got the car, but he warned me about it. The most important thing is that I was not charged for a scratch on the bumper, which was found when handing over the car, I did not even know about it, someone must have hit it in the parking lot in my absence. So the experience is positive.
