Toyota C-HR in the UAE
I am completely satisfied with the rental car! Everything went well. We arrived on time, the representative of the rental company called us immediately after the plane landed at Sharjah airport. He came to pick us up quickly - as soon as we got our luggage. In about 10-15 minutes the paperwork was done and we were off. The car was clean and in excellent condition. There were no problems with the return either. At the agreed time the representative arrived, inspected and took the car. Everything is clear and smooth. Thank you very much!

Mazda CX-5 in the UAE
It's not that it's bad at all, but... The car I ordered was not available, although I ordered in advance. I was offered another option and under different conditions (mileage limit per day), and then there were moments...
Chevrolet Captiva in the UAE
We rented a car via LocalCarHires.com website. We picked it up at the airport quietly, at the scheduled time after we arrived. The representative of the car rental company was waiting for us. Everything was simple and easy. Car was new and equipped with baby seats that we requested before. On the return day, also at the airport, we agreed on the time and the representative of the company was there to pick up the car. In short, everything was very correct and good, with no surprises.
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.

Renault Duster in the UAE
Ordered a Renault Duster 4x4 for the day, but in fact brought 2008 Peugeot monopride. The car is fresh, no deposits were asked for, I didn't catch any fines during the day. There were some minor hiccups with the delivery of the car (the driver was late), but fortunately everything went well. Thank you very much to TakeCars and Rodi's team! I will use them again!
Nissan Sunny in the UAE

Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
Everything went well. The site is fast, easy to use, it is convenient that there is a filter to search for the desired criteria. It was important for me to find an offer without deposit, as I don't have an international card to deposit it. Initially I chose a different car from another company, but later your colleague contacted me and offered me a replacement. The latter company provided the exact car that was booked. The staff at the rental company was eager to help resolve any questions I had. My questions were mainly about how to pay for paid parking lots in Dubai. Thank them for their patience, tried several ways, found a working one that suited me. They explained three times how to use it, as they doubted that I understood everything from the first time, given my poor level of English. The car was 2023, with a mileage of 50 thousand kilometers, in good technical condition. I quickly inspected the car, took all the damages on video just in case, signed the documents and left. With the delivery of the car as well everything quickly, there were no problems.
