Nissan Kicks in the UAE
very nice guys! I rented a Nissan Kicks car in January, the car was new, clean, delivery service was good, everything was on time. brought to the airport and picked up from the hotel with transfer to the airport on the way back. The deposit for the car was returned after 23 days to the debit card. I recommend!
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
Mazda 6 in the UAE
Everything went great. It was delivered, picked up and processed quickly.
Audi A3 Sedan in the UAE
A month ago I rented an Audi A3. I was very satisfied with the registration process, everything was fast and clear. The car was delivered to the home address. Once I had a situation where I had a completely flat tire. I contacted the company and within 20 minutes employees arrived to help me fix the wheel. The staff is very responsive, always ready to help and answer all questions. Now I'm a regular customer.
Mazda 6 in the UAE
Very convenient. I booked the car a week before my arrival. Paid for the reservation directly on the site with a Russian card (which could not fail to please) The car was in excellent condition, clean and fueled. Strictly at the appointed place and time. The employee of the lessor, although he did not speak Russian, showed me everything, pointed out the faults on the car, gave me the contract to sign. Then I spent 4 days driving around the UAE on this beauty. The return of the car was also quick and without any problems. I recommend this service!
Geely Coolray in the UAE
Car was great, in good condition and low mileage. Clean, no damage of any kind. The registration process was easy and quick. The only problem was at the stage of returning the car - the company has a parking lot near the office for the return, but it was occupied when we came to return the car and we drove around in circles in the area, trying to find free time and in parallel communicating with the manager. In the end we spent more than an hour, but we could not leave the car and came the next day in the morning (at 7 am), when there were no cars in the parking lot and handed over the keys with the car. Apart from these problems, everything else was great! For Russian citizens, this service is a lifesaver, as no deposit is needed.
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!
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
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.
Mercedes-Benz C300 Cabrio in the UAE
In general, getting the car is easy, the car as in the order, no deposit. Minus, the car is tired, a lot of chips, scratches and the interior is grated. It is difficult to accept such a car.
Renault Megane Sedan in the UAE
the impound car was delivered, the rest is fine.
Ford Mustang GT Cabrio in the UAE
car was delivered to the hotel, the driver took all the pictures of the car and sent it to me in whatsapp. There were no visible issues and i signed the paper. I requested the car for one day, but the driver contacted me late in the evening and said that he was expecting me to return the car the same day. I said that he can take the car, that we have already finished our trip. The driver thoroughly checked the car and said that everything was ok except that I draw 70km over the limit of contract and I need to pay 5 Dirham.
Toyota Camry in the UAE
Everything is fine except they gave me a different car, even though I booked a Camry
