Ford Mustang GT Cabrio in the UAE
car was delivered to the hotel, the driver took all the pictures of the car and sent it to me in whatsapp. There were no visible issues and i signed the paper. I requested the car for one day, but the driver contacted me late in the evening and said that he was expecting me to return the car the same day. I said that he can take the car, that we have already finished our trip. The driver thoroughly checked the car and said that everything was ok except that I draw 70km over the limit of contract and I need to pay 5 Dirham.

Everything went great. The car is good, received it on time, returned it too. Convenient no deposit in the current situation. Thank you and the company of the car owner.
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
Nissan X-Terra in the UAE
We ordered another vehicle with 7 seats, but Jetour was available. For me, as a lover of frame Japanese SUVs, it was an interesting experience. The car from the Celestial Empire turned out to be surprisingly new, quite fast, well controlled and fast. It lacked smoothness and spaciousness in the cabin, but for a week of new impressions more than enough! Loved the rental company, very friendly at drop off and pick up. It's just a pity they couldn't accept the full amount from the card (from Russian Federation), so next time I will prefer to pay the full amount through "Take Cars"

The car was changed to a similar, almost new one. There were no problems with the rental, support was always on the phone, any questions were solved promptly. Everything was great, thank you!
Geely Coolray in the UAE
I have been renting cars in Dubai for a number of years, but I have been renting from TakeCars for 2 months now. I like it very much. They picked up the car quickly, new, bright, and favorably priced. The manager is always in touch, convenient payment by card online. Very satisfied!
Nissan Kicks in the UAE
The guys were great. The rental went perfectly, without any pitfalls. I recommend.
Nissan Kicks in the UAE
Everything was great. The car was clean, cozy. We drove it around the UAE, went from Dubai to Fujairah, visited a mosque. And in general I had a great time with my wife, also thanks to the availability of the car.
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
All in all, it went well. I liked it. We will contact you again.
Geely Coolray in the UAE
Car was great, in good condition and low mileage. Clean, no damage of any kind. The registration process was easy and quick. The only problem was at the stage of returning the car - the company has a parking lot near the office for the return, but it was occupied when we came to return the car and we drove around in circles in the area, trying to find free time and in parallel communicating with the manager. In the end we spent more than an hour, but we could not leave the car and came the next day in the morning (at 7 am), when there were no cars in the parking lot and handed over the keys with the car. Apart from these problems, everything else was great! For Russian citizens, this service is a lifesaver, as no deposit is needed.
Nissan X-Trail in the UAE
I can recommend this company. Because there was not even a hint of a "scam" and so on. Moreover, I was given a 2023 Xtrail! Auto surprisingly Pret and I even checked its all-wheel drive on the sand, but at speeds above 140km begins to drive, another minus all rented cars are not tinted, the company should have tinted, at least partially in the cheapest film. The guy "delivery man" himself noted a scratch on the panel, which I would not even notice, no way! When handing over, similarly, they didn't look for anything on purpose, moreover, it turned out that I didn't fill up the fuel, thinking that I was handing over the car with 50% level, they said that 60% I started to resist, they eventually forgave :D When I finally found the photo, saw that there was a real misunderstanding and it was 60% I gave the driver the amount for fuel, thinking that they themselves will solve everything, but he refueled it and sent me the photo and the receipt :D I thought he will take to himself on Tips already. Also the car was in the dust so to speak, I wiped what I could, but still, although the requirement to return the car clean! But that's sometimes very difficult after a trip through the desert. I told about it earlier, they said it's OK. P.S.. By experience of delivery and return, it is better to take and put the car yourself if possible, otherwise the terms in Dubai are not predictable.
