Nissan X-Trail in the UAE
Everything is super!
Kia K5 in the UAE
Instead of Kia K5 - Totyota Camry .. and at departure - no one came at all, I had to call up - they asked me to leave the keys under the wheel.
JAC J7 in the UAE
It was a success.
Renault Duster in the UAE
Everything is fine, the car is good, everything went well! Thank you!
JAC JS4 in the UAE
The car was replaced by another car of the same class - a Nissan. I was unfortunately not met at the airport. I called the phone numbers from the application and after I got in touch with the lessors I met them at the parking lot at the airport, paid for parking and used the car. The car is in good condition, no complaints. When handing over the car I was told that the car had to be washed, and the amount of washing would be deducted from my deposit. I was surprised - the car was in the dust, there was no serious pollution (but maybe I was inattentive and it really should have been done by me). The deposit would be returned to me in 21 days after the car was handed over, as I was told by the representative at the airport, minus the car wash. They informed me that they will return it by transfer to my card in rubles. I am looking forward to it
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.
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!
Chevrolet Spark in the UAE
I wouldn’t like to speak negatively, but there’s no other way. Firstly, the car was not the one I rented, secondly, the car was very dirty, and thirdly, they did not return the deposit despite the fact that it had already been a month. I’m very unhappy and I think I’m not the first person.
Mercedes-Benz GLC300 in the UAE
I liked everything, everything was done quickly, the car was very good. The only thing is that we received the deposit only after 1.5 months. The money arrived 3 times and the bank commission took 200 dirhams.
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
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!
Kia K5 in the UAE
Everything went perfectly; the car was on time and matched the reservation. The process was quick, and we returned it at the same spot. However, no one came to pick it up; they asked us to take photos and videos, leave money for toll roads in the glove compartment, and leave the key on the wheel. That's exactly what we did)))
Toyota Camry in the UAE
Booked a Toyota Camry in Dubai. The company supplier of the car is very good. The pickup and drop off was quick. The car is clean, fueled. There are no hidden fees, everything is honest. There is a Russian-speaking staff. I will be happy to use their services next time I travel.
