Nissan Altima in the UAE
Everything went well. The car was brought on time. The condition of the car was also decent.
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
Excellent service! Everything is clear on the time of delivery of the car, even in advance. The car corresponds to the description, everything is in good condition. The lessor is always in touch, explained everything, advised. Price = quality! I recommend to everyone!
Volkswagen Jetta in the UAE
Everything went fine, the only thing I didn't understand was that the deposit for 21 is blocked, it wasn't announced on the website. If I knew about it I wouldn't have waited for the rental company to return the car, I guess I could have left the keys in the car. And that we had to wait for them for about 30 minutes, and in the end it is not clear why. But in general everything is great
Hyundai Accent in the UAE
in principle normal everything went well, but did not meet at the airport in the terminal, drove an hour changed drivers phone in I thought I would not get the car, then the delivery was carried out in an underground parking lot in the dark, well videotaped, did not note the scratch and wanted to hang it on me, but I showed the video and all questions dropped, the only thing I took without a deposit, but now sent payment of saliki
MG 3 in the UAE
Everything went well, no problems
Porsche 718 Boxster S in the UAE
I liked everything the car was delivered at 10:00, I forgot and only woke up at 10, but they waited for me, they took me away too at 10, I gave it with a full tank, there was a Gas Station nearby, everything was convenient on the Site, I immediately chose the model that I liked, 2 people wrote to me they explained everything in vatsap in detail, the car is just emotions, I have Kaen in Kiev, I thought to take a boxter as a second car, but I think it won't go for Kiev, but for Dubai, the very thing, you won't go with an open roof during the day, it's very hot, although some are desperate they drive (they also took a convertible, you can immediately see ours) and in the evening ride in a thrill, but if it's already uncomfortable on the highway above 100 km, I'm generally satisfied with the car and the service, I hope next time I'll take something better or if I live far from the center Something simpler for the entire stay, a taxi is expensive to go far, it's easier to take a regular car, I'm waiting for you to return the deposit, I hope there are no fines, I tried. And it's also important to keep track of the km, I dashed off 230 km from 250 available
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
everything was great)
Chevrolet Captiva in the UAE
Everything's great, thanks
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
everything's fine.
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
Everything went great as agreed, I will contact you again. I recommend it to everyone. Thank you.
Kia K5 in the UAE
Many thanks to Akil - everything went smoothly! I was contacted in advance on whatsapp, upon arrival they drove the car to the DXB airport, Arrivals zone. Full tank filled. I rented a car in the same place at the airport, Departures zone. Delivery took 5 minutes - quickly inspected the car. They also contacted me in advance on Whatsapp to clarify a convenient time for delivery. The car is in excellent condition. Please note that when driving on toll roads, you accumulate a debt - you will need to pay it when you return the car (I hit Salik 60 AED). Also keep in mind that the entrance to the parking area at the airport is paid and upon acceptance of the car, you will need to pay it additionally in the Pay Zone (30-40 AED). All fines, etc. - are also paid by you (which is quite logical). In all other respects, the payment corresponded to the original agreement, nothing more was required. For Russians - there is a payment by transfer to the Russian Federation by a card (Sberbank, you can use SBP) - very convenient if you don’t want to immediately bother with exchange at the airport and there are no international Visa / Mastercard cards (they can also be paid on the spot - the employee has a terminal with him for maps). Thanks to Akil for organizing the possibility of paying in rubles! I put 5 stars, I will definitely order again!
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!!!
