What our users say
Chevrolet Spark in the UAE
I wouldn’t like to speak negatively, but there’s no other way. Firstly, the car was not the one I rented, secondly, the car was very dirty, and thirdly, they did not return the deposit despite the fact that it had already been a month. I’m very unhappy and I think I’m not the first person.
Chevrolet Tahoe in the UAE
Everything went great. The car was the one I booked. Everything on time, and convenient! Everyone is always on the phone if you need help or questions.
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.
Kia Picanto in the UAE
The rental staff is very friendly! The car is not new, but it's good! The rental office is conveniently located, not far from the subway. The deposit was returned on time
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 Tucson in the UAE
All good except for one thing - they gave not Tucson but MG 1.5l, roars good, rides bad.... Well... I came to have a rest instead of to swear, took what was given, on return tried to explain that the car does not correspond to the armored and well would discount... at least for the cost of a sink and a vacuum cleaner (gave a little dirty, got lost on the road and did not have time to wash)...
Honda HR-V in the UAE
In general, everything went well. The only nuance was when returning the car. The representative of the rental company did not come to return the car and said to leave the keys on the wheel of the car, I was not satisfied with this. I had to wait about an hour for the driver to arrive.
Nissan Sunny in the UAE

BMW 420i Cabrio in the UAE
Everything went perfectly. The car was delivered on time and picked up on time, no issues.
BMW 420i Cabrio in the UAE
the car was very nice, the condition was excellent. the staff helped with all questions, it was nice that we picked up the car for free at the end of the lease.
Mitsubishi ASX in the UAE
Yes, everything went well! Except that the security deposit was not 2000 aed but 2500 aed. The car is brand new with 12,000 miles. By the way ! I completely forgot .... A gps signal jammer is installed on the car !!!!!! in order to rent a navigator from them. I had my own navigator with all the points where I usually go .... I was offered a navigator for 200 dirhams. I refused. My sat nav couldn't pick up satellites in the car and I had to go outside, pick up satellites and drive to the hotel with my hand out the window... which is not safe. At the hotel, I wrote an angry message to the manager that if they did not turn off the jammer, I would report the intrusive service to the police! I was furious at such disrespect for customers, which looked like revenge for refusing to rent a navigator ... .. In the morning, the jammer was already turned off. I always take a car when I travel to different countries, but I have never seen anything like this, especially in the UAE, and it was the 15th trip. Previously, when I ordered a car through Emirates, I did not need to move from terminal to terminal by taxi to pick up or return the car.
