What our users say
Nissan Kicks in the UAE
The car was provided as described. My flight was delayed, so we had to agree on another time, so there were no problems. I took photos and video in the airport parking lot and left the keys in the car. So far everything is fine.
Mitsubishi Xpander in the UAE
We rented a car. We found the office quickly, we did not use the car delivery to the hotel. We had to wait, but it was very long, about 40 minutes. At the beginning they said that they were preparing it, but in fact it was standing there. The engine was cold)))). Acceptance was fast enough and fair, even the manager himself showed the defects in the car, which we did not notice. The main disadvantage was that the windshield was covered with something, to be exact, the whole car was covered with some protective compound, and when they covered it, apparently, they forgot to cover the windshield. It's like glue and fine sand. And it doesn't come off, we tried it. During the day, when driving, it was fine, but at night it turned out to be extremely bad, also when the sun was right on the course. Otherwise - everything is normal. Handing over the car was also quick. The manager looked at the absence of new damage. We washed the car before handing it over. Gasoline was even a little more than it was. We liked it. No deposit. We prepaid with a MIR card and paid in cash, we paid in dirhams.
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
Hyundai Accent in the UAE
The car was provided to the airport at the appointed time, the car was not of the brand that was ordered, but it was provided of a similar class. The deposit was returned without delay. Satisfied with the service!
Mitsubishi Xpander in the UAE
Everything went great! Thank you!
Kia K5 in the UAE
Many thanks to Akil - everything went smoothly! I was contacted in advance on whatsapp, upon arrival they drove the car to the DXB airport, Arrivals zone. Full tank filled. I rented a car in the same place at the airport, Departures zone. Delivery took 5 minutes - quickly inspected the car. They also contacted me in advance on Whatsapp to clarify a convenient time for delivery. The car is in excellent condition. Please note that when driving on toll roads, you accumulate a debt - you will need to pay it when you return the car (I hit Salik 60 AED). Also keep in mind that the entrance to the parking area at the airport is paid and upon acceptance of the car, you will need to pay it additionally in the Pay Zone (30-40 AED). All fines, etc. - are also paid by you (which is quite logical). In all other respects, the payment corresponded to the original agreement, nothing more was required. For Russians - there is a payment by transfer to the Russian Federation by a card (Sberbank, you can use SBP) - very convenient if you don’t want to immediately bother with exchange at the airport and there are no international Visa / Mastercard cards (they can also be paid on the spot - the employee has a terminal with him for maps). Thanks to Akil for organizing the possibility of paying in rubles! I put 5 stars, I will definitely order again!
Audi A3 Sedan in the UAE
A month ago I rented an Audi A3. I was very satisfied with the registration process, everything was fast and clear. The car was delivered to the home address. Once I had a situation where I had a completely flat tire. I contacted the company and within 20 minutes employees arrived to help me fix the wheel. The staff is very responsive, always ready to help and answer all questions. Now I'm a regular customer.
Volkswagen T-Roc in the UAE
it was a pleasure to rent a car at LocalCarHires.
Mazda 6 in the UAE
It's okay!
Mitsubishi Xpander in the UAE
Everything went perfectly! We booked Mitsubishi Xpander, but on arrival we were offered Volkswagen Teramont. But we were not disappointed, even on the contrary, it was nice to get a more comfortable car for the same money. All questions were solved promptly. And there were no problems with the extension. On our next trip to the UAE, we will definitely turn to you for car rental. Thank you!
GAC GN 8 in the UAE
Everything was fine. Only the driver didn't show up for the change and didn't warn me about it. I wrote and called him. The company did not give me any instructions on what to do in this case.
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
Everything went well, everyone loved it!
Ford Mustang GT in the UAE
Everything went well and on a friendly vibe, the car was great, Ildar was very helpful with questions about the car and Dubai in general 👍🏼. I would add a moment for the future to explain how to use the parking app, for example RTA Dubai. Everything is great in steel 🙌🏼
