What our users say
Volkswagen Jetta in the UAE
Everything went fine, the only thing I didn't understand was that the deposit for 21 is blocked, it wasn't announced on the website. If I knew about it I wouldn't have waited for the rental company to return the car, I guess I could have left the keys in the car. And that we had to wait for them for about 30 minutes, and in the end it is not clear why. But in general everything is great
Hyundai Kona in the UAE
Happy with the rental, it's a shame I only had one day.
Mazda CX-5 in the UAE
In general, everything went well, the car was provided on time, in good condition
Toyota Camry in the UAE
Booked a Toyota Camry in Dubai. The company supplier of the car is very good. The pickup and drop off was quick. The car is clean, fueled. There are no hidden fees, everything is honest. There is a Russian-speaking staff. I will be happy to use their services next time I travel.
Kia K5 in the UAE
Everything went well :) The guys met us at the airport, the car was handed over in good condition, payment was accepted by unionpay card - it turned out to be a nice bonus for us, because initially the information was that only cash was accepted. They don't speak Russian at all, but we understood each other, we agreed where we would meet when returning the car so that we wouldn't have to pay for parking. From there we were taken to the terminal. We have already recommended your resource to several acquaintances on the basis of our positive experience.
Hyundai Kona in the UAE
I rented a car from TakeCars, I was satisfied with the service, I can definitely recommend it to tourists. One of the big pluses is that you can rent a car without a deposit. I ordered Hyundai Kona, they gave me another car of the same class (Hyundai creta), it was important for me that there was carplay, it was there, it worked without problems. The car was delivered to the hotel, we examined it and accepted it. When handing over the car the employee did not have time to take it from us before our departure from the hotel, asked to send a photo and leave the keys at the reception. We provided a photo via whats app, in response we received "ok" and left the keys at reception. In general, everything worked out super !

Everything went well, everything was fine, everything was arranged, thank you!
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
Suddenly everything went well. A new car was handed in. There were no problems when handing over: Nine was asked for minor scratches, fines and parking and salicies were not required. I liked it. Did not leave a deposit.
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
everything went well 👍
Toyota C-HR in the UAE
I am completely satisfied with the rental car! Everything went well. We arrived on time, the representative of the rental company called us immediately after the plane landed at Sharjah airport. He came to pick us up quickly - as soon as we got our luggage. In about 10-15 minutes the paperwork was done and we were off. The car was clean and in excellent condition. There were no problems with the return either. At the agreed time the representative arrived, inspected and took the car. Everything is clear and smooth. Thank you very much!
Nissan Kicks in the UAE
I recently rented a car from TakeCars.com in Sharjah and was very pleased with my experience. The booking process was easy and convenient: I was able to select the model I wanted through the website and specify the date and time of the rental. I also ordered delivery of the car to the hotel through the website. At the appointed time it was brought without delay. The car was in excellent condition, clean and ready to go. I rented a Nissan Kicks and it handled the roads perfectly. I especially liked that the company provided all the necessary documents and insurance, which added confidence during the trip. Returning the vehicle went as smoothly as receiving it. There were no hidden fees, we arrived at the hotel at the appointed time and picked up the car. I was very satisfied with the services of TakeCars.com and will gladly use their services again. I recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable car rental!
Hyundai Accent in the UAE

Mazda CX-5 in the UAE
I liked everything, the car is great, they took me quickly! Only in the beginning it took a long time to get the car, because they had problems with the reservation system, I had to wait an hour and a half.
