What our users say
Nissan Kicks in the UAE
Everything went well, thank you for the service.
Hyundai Elantra in the UAE
Everything went well. No complaints at all. The car was better than the original booking. The car was clean, both inside and outside. They answered all my questions, told me what to pay attention to when driving in the UAE. All questions were answered promptly during the rental period. Thank you very much!
Mazda 6 in the UAE
There were negative moments: the car was delayed for more than 3 hours, and only after my request. Then several people wrote to me on WhatsApp to find out where to deliver it, although the address was in the order. On acceptance and handing over the car, you sign on the clipboard without seeing what you signed for. In the new damage recorded missing towing hook plug, I had to write to the office and send a video of acceptance, it was without consequences. Otherwise everything was satisfactory
Mitsubishi Xpander in the UAE
everything went great. Instead of a Mitsubishi Xpander, we were given a brand new VW Teramont, driven to the car, picked up from the car afterwards.
Geely Coolray in the UAE
I have been renting cars in Dubai for a number of years, but I have been renting from TakeCars for 2 months now. I like it very much. They picked up the car quickly, new, bright, and favorably priced. The manager is always in touch, convenient payment by card online. Very satisfied!
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
We took the car in September 2024. The car suited us in everything. We did not immediately get to grips with the Dubai interchanges, but having figured out the navigator, we quickly oriented ourselves. Yandex navigator works well. No problems with receipt and return. Since it is forbidden to park cars at the airport, we received and handed it in the city office, where we were kindly delivered by the company's employees. The car did not let us down once, it was obedient in driving. We were able to independently travel to different beaches, went to Abu Dhabi to the mosque of Sheikh Zayed. The company and the car are reliable, I recommend it.
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
everything went perfectly! The car was delivered on time, we brought another car, but it was even better (higher class and newer). We were in touch, we were allowed to extend the lease for an additional day, and we picked up the car without any problems. In general, we were very satisfied.
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
Everything went great. The car is good, received it on time, returned it too. Convenient no deposit in the current situation. Thank you and the company of the car owner.
Kia Seltos in the UAE
In short, they gave me a different car, but otherwise, the interaction with the rental company was good, no surprises.
Mitsubishi Xpander in the UAE
Everything was fine. If it wasn't for the fine, which could have been easily avoided. Your colleagues told me about the speed limit, but they didn't tell me about the phone! It's a shame I didn't use my phone. It was like a navigator! I ended up with a fine. Put a phone holder and a list of fines in your cars! In the end both customers and you will have less problems and more positive feedback. Other than that, the rest of the car and the pickup and return is SUPER.
JAC JS4 in the UAE
We rented a car for 6 days in January 2026. The car is a fresh 2024 with only 20k mileage. We were with a child, we offered a car seat. Very pleased with the work of the manager all clearly explained, showed, always in touch. No extra payments, only payment for professional washing at the end of the lease. It is also very convenient that you can pay with a Russian card, and no deposit I recommend it.
Geely Coolray in the UAE
Everything was great 👍 even better than we imagined. The car was new, delivered to the address, time agreed in advance. Thank you very much! We will definitely rent more cars from you. It is very cool that the issue of prepayment for Russian tourists is solved, it is very valuable.
