What our users say
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 6 in the UAE
everything was fine.
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
Thank you, everything is great! I would like to ask the employees not to try to pin on us the past damage to the car, which we have already videotaped on experience when receiving it. Very unpleasant. We have been using this rental for more than 5 years, and periodically such surprises.
Mini Cooper S Cabrio in the UAE
We were given a Dodge Challenger since Cooper was busy
Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross in the UAE
There was the car that I ordered, the first one was unfortunately brought to the airport with a non-functioning air conditioner, but I think this happens to everyone. They brought it to the hotel and promptly replaced it with a car of the same model. I am satisfied with the service was always on the phone, where necessary. The order I had without deposit. I hope for paid expensive a couple of kopecks will not charge anything.
Citroen C5 Aircross in the UAE
Everything was very good. I liked it. The car was new, and very good.
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
When we were passing through Dubai, on the last day we decided to rent a car to get to beautiful desert locations for a photo shoot. We found a suitable and most favorable option (Mitsubishi Attrage) on TakeCars. We had to wait for the car to be issued...took photos, signed everything and off we went. Everything went well, returning the car took much less time than getting it. And we drove to the airport. We were a little upset that we didn't take the car on the last day. After all, we could have gone to Abu Dhabi to see the Zayd Mosque.
Mercedes-Benz GLC300 in the UAE
Everything went great, all expectations were met!
Hyundai Elantra in the UAE
Everything went well, the car was as requested, no problems at all.
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE

Abarth 695 Cabrio in the UAE
All was ok, quick and simple
Peugeot 3008 in the UAE
The car is excellent. No problems with pickup and drop off, everything on time. The price was satisfactory, the lack of deposit is very convenient. I am satisfied with the fact that I ordered the car through your site. I will recommend to my friends. Next year I hope to use your services again.
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
In the end we rented a Toyota Corolla, in general the condition is not bad, but a lot of scratches on the outside and inside stains on the upholstery (we fixed everything ourselves and in the documents). Receipt was in BC, no signage, barely found with the help of an employee! I suggest to add a sign on the internal window in the common hall and to specify details in the message in e-mail. To surrender the car it was necessary to park it somewhere near the BC, wait for 15 minutes and put a signature on the tablet of the receiving employee: everything is in order. In general, everything was satisfactory, the car was well-equipped (I requested cruise control and it was there, they also connected a smartphone to the stereo), price-quality, we rented the car with hull insurance, no deposit.
