Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
On 08/23/2018 we rented a car through Localcarhires.com company. Initially we applied for a Mitsubishi Attrage. But the guys brought us another car: Toyota Camry. The car was brought to our hotel at the time we appointed and it was picked up from there. Delivery and pickup was free of charge for us. The car was in perfect condition, clean, there were 2 bottles of water in the car. We had to return the car on 27.08 at 14.00, we asked the guys from the company to extend the rental period until 23 pm, which was agreed by the company and the car was taken away from us at 23 hours. We want to say a huge thank you to Aqeel - we were very comfortable and pleasant to communicate with you and your company. We will definitely rent a car from you next time.
Hyundai Accent in the UAE
All in all, it's okay. But I still haven't gotten my deposit back. Already wrote 5 times, they always say tomorrow. Otherwise, everything was fine. Your service on 5
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
No complaints about the website and booking, everything is convenient and understandable! It took us a long time to find a car at the airport and we had to pay for parking at the airport (we were asked to meet him at the airport exit with a sign)! Had to wait about an hour for the person to come get the car! Totally inconvenient refund of the deposit which left for the car! No pritezi to the condition of the car! In general, all was well.
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.
Mercedes-Benz C300 Cabrio in the UAE
On 21.12.2023 rented a Mercedes convertible car in the UAE DUBAI. On your website and in the booking documents it was stated that no deposit was required! On December 21 the driver arrived, was late for the appointed time and demanded a deposit. The deposit had to be made in cash or by card at the terminal. We did not have this amount in cash, the cards are Russian. The driver refused the service and drove away. In WhatsApp with the Russian-speaking manager we agreed that the driver would return, provide the service, and we would send the deposit to the Russian card. All this took a very long time, the driver came back, checked us in, handed over the car, meaning we took the car 2-3 hours late. We decided to clarify with the manager of your company, whether the next day we can give the car a little later, because we took it later than the necessary time. The answer we got was that no problem, it's not a big deal. We asked for the car for 2 hours later. All correspondence, conversations with this manager are available. At the appointed time for the driver, the driver was again late and arrived 40-50 minutes later. We were told that the deposit would be refunded within 18 business days. We were also told that the deposit is an amount that is taken to write off fines and road tolls. After a while we were sent a document and the deposit was returned. BUT! the deposit was transferred to us at a rate at which we lost a lot of money! At least no one told us that the exchange rate during the transfer will be such and you will lose money. Deposit is basically the cost, which is returned in full amount!!!!. Most importantly we were counted 2 full days! With all the arrangements. The manager promised to sort out the situation and refund the money for the second day. In the end, a few weeks later, for him just began to answer another person who does not even get into the situation Please resolve the issue. It's been more than 2 months, reviews of your firm are good, would not want to solve the issue in a legislative way, appeal to the police.

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!
