Nissan Kicks in the UAE
Great car rental service! Recently rented a Nissan Kicks car and was very satisfied! The car was almost new in good condition, clean and fueled. The paperwork took minimum time - Farook manager drove the car to the hotel, helped to inspect the car, fixed all the damage on the body, explained everything clearly and without unnecessary questions. Prices are adequate, without hidden commissions. I took out full insurance just in case. For 10 days of rent no problems with the car. I did not break any traffic rules, did not drive on toll roads. The return of the car also went without any problems. On the day of return, Farook manager called, arranged a place near the airport, washed the car before the return, checked the car, no new damage was found, then we were taken to the airport. Farook is the best, provides high level of service👍 If you need a reliable car rental with honest terms, I recommend this company! Will definitely apply again.

Mercedes-Benz A45-S in the UAE
Nice!
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
I monitored various sites, and chose this one because other aggregators do not accept Russian cards. The price here was a little more expensive, but there was no deposit. The car was delivered to the airport as I had ordered. Upon arrival we called and met at once. The car is new, the mileage was 6,5 thousand kilometers. The engine felt quite weak, but it is economical and the trunk is big. When returning the renter was half an hour late, so I advise you to return with time to spare. I also advise you to change money into dirhams before getting the car, so that the necessary amount was without change. I recommend Localcarhires and this rental company.

everything's fine.
MG 3 in the UAE
Everything went well! A very nice bonus was that the employee who gave out the car was Russian-speaking. The car is good, with min mileage. For city driving it is quite suitable
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!
Audi Q3 in the UAE
Everything is great with the car - fresh, minimal mileage, clean, delivered/picked up on time. The only roughnesses - a lot of contact persons, not always gave correct information. For example, the mileage on the website indicated 250km/day, when the car was delivered they assured that 150/day, then in fact in the contract it turned out to be 250/day. Or, for example, when returning the car - I had to talk to 3 people in sequence until they gave me the number of the driver who took the car. In general, this is not a problem, but rather a point that can be paid attention to
Mazda 6 in the UAE
Mazda 6 is a good car. I didn't have any issues. What could be improved about service is: 1) provide basic information about stalls 2) how often car should be washed (hopefully I won't receive any tickets) to prevent police tickets 3) Tricky tickets. Like when you ride close on the motorway, the camera catches this and you will receive a ticket for close riding to next car. I didn't know about it, and had to google. 4) insurance. In all European countries if you take a full coverage it means I don't care if someone on the car parking will open their door and the car will be damaged. It's very strange that I need to check car every time and call the police for report. Especially you can get a ticket if they in case of they won't find any damage or damage that happened earlier and I didn't spot it. I prefer do not to call police for each small damage and I don't want to pay for that if I get full coverage.
Kia Pegas in the UAE
everything went great
Mitsubishi Xpander in the UAE
Everything went perfectly! We booked Mitsubishi Xpander, but on arrival we were offered Volkswagen Teramont. But we were not disappointed, even on the contrary, it was nice to get a more comfortable car for the same money. All questions were solved promptly. And there were no problems with the extension. On our next trip to the UAE, we will definitely turn to you for car rental. Thank you!
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
It went well.
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
Overall all good. The company made an upgrade to a Renault Megane, new, 3000km mileage. The car is good, except for the box kicking. I also used toll roads, they have not sent me a bill for them yet, which is strange.
