Hyundai Tucson in the UAE
1. We booked a car at the airport, but in fact we took a cab from the airport to our office. It is inconvenient with children and suitcases constantly overloaded. 2. The car was different, but not worse. 3. The rental itself was fine. 4. Then different people contacted me and asked the same questions about the return time, etc. 5. Then when I ordered a cab for 16.00 from the rental office to the airport, the drivers started calling me at 4.00 am, mixing up the morning with the evening. 6. Further when I arrived at their office, I had to go up to their office and had to deal with the cab for a long time. 7. Further every 10 minutes I was told that in 5 minutes will be a cab to the airport, was late for 35 min car in the end. 8. In general, the service is lame, to put it mildly. 9. In exchange for the inconvenience of nothing offered, even took extra money for not getting gasoline in double the amount.
Audi Q8 in the UAE
All was good. There are no questions about rent. The only thing - it would be more convenient to know the vehicle fleet in advance.
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
it was ok.
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
We rented a car from 12.10.2023 to 20.10.2023. We wanted to pick up the car from the airport, booked it, but forgot to send the documents in advance. We sent all the necessary data upon arrival in UAE. The company went to the meeting, our car was brought to the hotel at no extra charge. The staff was friendly. We got the car quickly, clearly, without any questions. The car Nissan Sunny is new, in excellent condition, it was enough for a family of 5 people. Drove carefully, so the delivery of the car was as fast and easy. Thank you! We will contact you again.
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 Kicks in the UAE
Great car rental company. Delivered on time. Tinting in the UAE is a lifesaver. No deposit which is very good. Drove 1100 km, visited five emirates. I was afraid that the car will not withstand the heat, but it just worked out great! Thank you very much!
Toyota Highlander Hybrid in the UAE
They brought another car, it ran out of oil on the second day, but they replaced it with a new volkswagen. Overall satisfied with everything, everyone was welcome. Thank you very much
Nissan Kicks in the UAE
Thank you, everything went well! The car was a KIA Celtos. It was delivered on time and picked up on time. We were very pleased with everything. The car is in excellent condition. The delivery man was nice and friendly too. Thank you. If possible we will order a car from you again and this time for a longer period of time
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
The car, of course, doesn’t drive at all, but God bless her for choosing it. They brought the car with a half-filled tank (although when returning they ask to fill it up to full) + plus they charged 35 dirhams at the airport, although, as agreed, everything was paid for. I didn’t like it, I definitely won’t rent from you again. Little things, little things, but it’s very unpleasant when they try to deceive you. Moreover, as I wrote earlier, everything was stipulated
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
