Mitsubishi Xpander in the UAE
Everything was super. Thank you so much
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
The car was delivered on time, as ordered, 2023 year. The price was as stated in the voucher, no hidden extras. I paid the balance in local currency in cash. The staff was responsive, they helped me to change dirhams in the bank, I have problems with English. There were small scratches on the car, all noted in the act when transferring the car. When returning the car was checked, new scratches did not appear. In general, everything is good, I can recommend the company.
Mazda CX-9 in the UAE
Everything was great! The only thing I would recommend is to check on site to make sure all fluids are normal. I will highly recommend you. Thank you so much for the service!
Nissan Kicks in the UAE
Everything went well. The car was delivered an hour late, picked up 6 hours late due to flooding. The car is in good condition
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
Mitsubishi car was not available, we were given a higher class car, everything went great, service is top notch
Kia K5 in the UAE
Everything went perfectly; the car was on time and matched the reservation. The process was quick, and we returned it at the same spot. However, no one came to pick it up; they asked us to take photos and videos, leave money for toll roads in the glove compartment, and leave the key on the wheel. That's exactly what we did)))
Mercedes-Benz C300 Cabrio in the UAE
In general, getting the car is easy, the car as in the order, no deposit. Minus, the car is tired, a lot of chips, scratches and the interior is grated. It is difficult to accept such a car.
Chevrolet Captiva in the UAE
Landlords are not decent!!! In the search criteria were set parameters for cash and without deposit, respectively, and the cost of rent is higher!!!! The order was confirmed and prepayment was taken, but by the appointed time the car was not provided. They started to demand a deposit or payment by card. On the question why so, the answer just struck "You are on the black list". What list if it is my first time in the UAE? They could not confirm it As a result of long dialogs the car was not provided, all our plans went to ruin. The deposit was barely returned after a long agreement. In a word, JULIET!!!
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
We rented a car. The service is great. We were delivered to the airport. We upgraded the class of car free of charge - we got a new Toyota Camry with mileage of only 19 thousand kilometers. I recommend this service and Akil.
Kia K5 in the UAE
The rental went great, the operators were helpful with all questions. In the next trips we will turn to you! Recommended!
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
everything's fine.
Chevrolet Captiva in the UAE
We rented a car via LocalCarHires.com website. We picked it up at the airport quietly, at the scheduled time after we arrived. The representative of the car rental company was waiting for us. Everything was simple and easy. Car was new and equipped with baby seats that we requested before. On the return day, also at the airport, we agreed on the time and the representative of the company was there to pick up the car. In short, everything was very correct and good, with no surprises.
