Mazda CX-5 in the UAE
It's okay.
Nissan X-Terra in the UAE
I liked everything. The rental service itself is very convenient, you can put filters and customize the car to your request - this is a huge plus. Also the prices through TakeCars are lower than doing it directly through the rental company. Convenient way to pay and book a car with a Russian card. Quick confirmation. The rental company itself and the car is in good order, no comments. We received exactly the car that was on the photo and in the description, without substitutions. The only thing is that we made a little mistake with the car, we should have taken something more mobile and dynamic

Honda HR-V in the UAE
there were some problems, the first is that there was a slightly different plan of the car, then when receiving the employee said that you can only pay by card, well with this we somehow sorted out and the third is that the car was taken away from me at 1:00 a.m. although they were supposed to be at 5:00 p.m., these nuances were
Mazda CX-5 in the UAE
In general, everything went well, the car was provided on time, in good condition
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)...
Nissan Kicks in the UAE
all good. took it, drove 600km in 6 days, turned it in.
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
Rented a Nissan Sunny car for 8 days with collection and return at Sharjah airport. Upon arrival, the tenant's representative was waiting for me in the parking lot of Sharjah airport. Within 10 minutes the rent was issued and I went to the hotel. The car was provided brand new with a mileage of 4 88 km. (issue 2022). Salon is not smoky, everything worked perfectly. During the lease I drove about 1500 km. (according to the contract no more than 250 km per day). Before returning the car, I washed it at a car wash at a gas station - the full complex cost 20 dirhams. I returned the car to Sharjah Airport, where I received it. Paid for the use of toll roads 31.5 dirhams. I liked everything very much. I advise.

Nissan Kicks in the UAE
Everything went well, payment and car rental went comfortably for us.
Hyundai Kona in the UAE
Overall everything went great and I was satisfied. The car is good, in good condition. It was a different brand, but of the same class, so it was not critical. The only thing that confused me was that they did not give me any documents for the car. They promised to send it on WhatsApp, but I drove for 2 weeks without documents). At the end of the rental there was a strange situation. It was Sunday morning, I came to hand over the car, but the office was closed, the phones were disconnected, although the day before, on Saturday, we contacted and confirmed the completion of the lease. I ended up leaving the car at the office with the keys in the cabin, a video report was sent to the contact numbers. Otherwise no problems and I was satisfied with both price and quality! Will definitely contact you in the future! Thank you!
