Nissan X-Trail in the UAE
Everything is great, thank you. We were late both times to pick up and drop off the car, but it was not a crucial moment. The car was fresh, we didn't take a deposit, the car was handed over without any problems.
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!
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
everything is fine with the car. After renting the car they wrote 2 weeks later, they wanted to charge us for one more day of renting, although we turned everything in on time. I think we agreed that everything was fine
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
I rented without any problems. Everything is clear and understandable. Also did not pass with the return of the car. The car was clean in the cabin. In general, I am satisfied with the price and the car.
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!
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
Wonderful service! It is very convenient to book a car through the site (everything is described in such detail that I did not even have to contact the support with leading questions, I managed on my own). In general, the site is intuitive, filters are all there and work very adequately, very liked the system of reviews of rental companies (you can choose a responsible organization). Prices are pleasant and do not scare off, there is even a system of promo codes, which you can search the Internet and rent will be a little cheaper. The biggest plus for me is the possibility to rent a car without a deposit/credit card, as well as the possibility to prepay it with a Russian bank card. Everything went without any problems, we wrote to the rental company in Whatsapp a couple of days before the arrival, they gave the number of the manager who will issue the car at the airport (we also communicated with him on Whatsapp). They met me normally, took the car, noted the damage, etc., all in electronic form, all the documents were also sent to email and whatsapp. I handed over the car as easily as I took it - not a single problem, everything is convenient and without unnecessary movements! In general, I liked the service very much - I will use it again!
Mazda 6 in the UAE
Everything is fine, the car is practically new, mileage 35000. Arrived on time, paid with Unionpay from GPB without additional commission, thoroughly inspected, everything was fixed. Rent without deposit! When returning just left at the airport, took photos and video. I recommend this company!
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
everything went perfectly! The car was delivered on time, we brought another car, but it was even better (higher class and newer). We were in touch, we were allowed to extend the lease for an additional day, and we picked up the car without any problems. In general, we were very satisfied.
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
Overall it's good, except the cost of the fines cost a lot more than the cost of the rental. It would be cool if there was some sort of manual on what to pay attention to. Instructions on how to pay in parking machines, instructions on how to pay a fine in the local traffic police, UAE id, some general information that Yandex maps do not show current road repairs and you can accidentally violate because of this, information that Yandex maps lie about free parking, maybe recommendations of the best navigators for the Emirates... spent half of my vacation on figuring this shit out instead of having a rest. The bill for payment of toll roads, already comes on return to Russia, respectively dancing with tambourine how to pay, maps RF do not pass. There are no complaints about the staff in the office in Dubai, polite, helpful, trying to help.
Renault Megane Sedan in the UAE
Everything is good. I am satisfied with the rental, the landlords are good, polite, going to meet) the only photo of the car on the site is different from the car in life) the model is probably the same, but the color and body, different) in general, everything liked, I recommend)
Nissan Altima in the UAE
Rented a car in April 2024 for 2 weeks. Excellent car, everything went well. The company is very helpful in everything, it was nice to talk to Ildar, an employee of the company.
Hyundai Elantra in the UAE
All in all, everything is great, but The car was supposed to arrive at 12:00. At 12:15 I wrote and asked where the car was. It turns out that my car broke down (but no one wrote to me, and if I had not written - I would have been left without a car, apparently). In the end, they brought to 13 replacement car class higher, extra payment was not taken. The car itself is excellent, there were no problems. The money was as it was written on the website.
