What our users say
Volkswagen Jetta in the UAE
Had an incident, swapped to another car promptly, so did not drive this car. Everything was good, only the large commission (10%) for deposit return was disappointing
Kia K5 in the UAE
Took a mazda 6, score 5, everything is comfortable
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
Mitsubishi car was not available, we were given a higher class car, everything went great, service is top notch
Mazda 3 in the UAE
It was my first experience with renting a car, I was very worried at first, but everything went well, no problems. The only thing is that at the end I was billed for washing the car, but 2 hours before handing over the car, I washed it and there was proof, but it was quickly sorted out and everything was fine. I am planning another trip to Dubai in March and renting a car again, I think I will turn to you. Thank you
Hyundai Kona in the UAE
Happy with the rental, it's a shame I only had one day.
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.
Chevrolet Aveo in the UAE
Everything went well. The only thing was that we had a long meeting with the car delivery driver. As we would have liked him to meet us in the arrival area, but in the end he met us at the fifth exit of the departure area, which is not very convenient at a large airport. The landlord charged 100 dirhams for washing the car, which will be deducted from the deposit. I am waiting for the deposit to be returned. And so the car is quite working, although a little battered by life, but for this money for the UAE it is a sin to complain
Renault Megane Sedan in the UAE
Everything is great. The car corresponded to the stated, conditions too. All questions were answered on the spot. There were no mishaps. I recommend
Mitsubishi Mirage in the UAE
In general, everything went well, the only thing I wanted to apply a promo code for the first booking, but I did not find where to enter it. One more wish - to receive a car with a full tank, my tank was almost empty, I had to look for a gas station right after receiving the car
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 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
Nissan Kicks in the UAE
Overall, it went well. There were a couple of things that could be worked on. First of all, the operators on WhatsApp communicated only in English (some people may have difficulties with this). The second moment, initially it was indicated that the car was to be picked up at the Pyramid Center. But on the day of rent, while we were driving there, they sent us a point on the map where to pick up the car. Taking into account that we didn't have a SIM card with permanent internet, we didn't see it. And when we arrived to Pyramid, it was on Sunday, we didn't find anyone there. Of course we contacted the person who gave out the car and he came for us and took us to the parking lot where the car was. But it is desirable to describe all these things in advance. Opinion about the company remained positive. We are satisfied with the rental.
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.
