What our users say
Kia Sorento in the UAE
I was expected to take exactly same car as I ordered but they give me Mitsubishi Outlander, the steering wheel always turned to the right even on a flat road, I had to constantly steer it to go straight which was not ok. Overall, car was not on good condition at all.
Volkswagen Atlas in the UAE
Atlas was not a Dali santa fe. Everything went well. No complaints from the landlord about the car either
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.
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!
Audi Q8 in the UAE
All was good. There are no questions about rent. The only thing - it would be more convenient to know the vehicle fleet in advance.
Ford Mustang GT Cabrio in the UAE
I wish it were better. There are no questions about the car. I didn’t like two things: 1. We received the car with 10 km of petrol left. We nearly died out while we found a gas station. Upon arrival, I wanted to relax and not to be puzzled where to find a gas station. As a result, we devoted half of the evening to this issue instead of just traveling on business. 2. Delivery of a car - a person is late, it is very difficult to communicate, he does not understand anything and can not get through in any way. We were late for the event due to a delay in submission. Delayed not inspection of the car, namely the arrival of a person. In the end, it wasn't even he who came. To be honest, there is no desire to use the service again. The experience is rather negative than positive. If the fuel policy is principled, they would have warned in advance, I would have paid for a full tank.
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.
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
I rented Nissan Sanni for 6 days in Sharjah, from 07.11.2023 to 13.11.2023 I paid about 3000 rubles deposit while I was in Russia, using a bank card of payment system Mir. The payment went without problems. I paid the rest in cash when receiving the car. The car was fresh, clean. In general, at 10.00 the car was brought to the hotel, which was very convenient. I also rented it near the hotel. I never regretted that I took the car in this rental organization. The service was top-notch. Any question can be discussed by vatsap. Thank you.
Kia K5 in the UAE
There are nuances: the car was delivered later by 1.5 hours, they did not warn about the delay, the color of the car did not match the order, the black doors have blue vapor for protection, you could have found black vapor, the car is not tinted, and I ordered with tinting.
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
Mitsubishi car was not available, we were given a higher class car, everything went great, service is top notch
Volkswagen Passat in the UAE
It's all good.
Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross in the UAE
There was the car that I ordered, the first one was unfortunately brought to the airport with a non-functioning air conditioner, but I think this happens to everyone. They brought it to the hotel and promptly replaced it with a car of the same model. I am satisfied with the service was always on the phone, where necessary. The order I had without deposit. I hope for paid expensive a couple of kopecks will not charge anything.
