What our users say
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.
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!
Nissan X-Trail in the UAE
I can recommend this company. Because there was not even a hint of a "scam" and so on. Moreover, I was given a 2023 Xtrail! Auto surprisingly Pret and I even checked its all-wheel drive on the sand, but at speeds above 140km begins to drive, another minus all rented cars are not tinted, the company should have tinted, at least partially in the cheapest film. The guy "delivery man" himself noted a scratch on the panel, which I would not even notice, no way! When handing over, similarly, they didn't look for anything on purpose, moreover, it turned out that I didn't fill up the fuel, thinking that I was handing over the car with 50% level, they said that 60% I started to resist, they eventually forgave :D When I finally found the photo, saw that there was a real misunderstanding and it was 60% I gave the driver the amount for fuel, thinking that they themselves will solve everything, but he refueled it and sent me the photo and the receipt :D I thought he will take to himself on Tips already. Also the car was in the dust so to speak, I wiped what I could, but still, although the requirement to return the car clean! But that's sometimes very difficult after a trip through the desert. I told about it earlier, they said it's OK. P.S.. By experience of delivery and return, it is better to take and put the car yourself if possible, otherwise the terms in Dubai are not predictable.
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
When we were passing through Dubai, on the last day we decided to rent a car to get to beautiful desert locations for a photo shoot. We found a suitable and most favorable option (Mitsubishi Attrage) on TakeCars. We had to wait for the car to be issued...took photos, signed everything and off we went. Everything went well, returning the car took much less time than getting it. And we drove to the airport. We were a little upset that we didn't take the car on the last day. After all, we could have gone to Abu Dhabi to see the Zayd Mosque.
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

Kia K5 in the UAE
Took a mazda 6, score 5, everything is comfortable
Chevrolet Spark in the UAE
Everything went perfectly. The car was given out quickly, there are no complaints about the car itself, I drove it for a day and gave it back in the evening without any problems.
Kia Pegas in the UAE
thanks very good
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
all right
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
Thank you, everything is great! I would like to ask the employees not to try to pin on us the past damage to the car, which we have already videotaped on experience when receiving it. Very unpleasant. We have been using this rental for more than 5 years, and periodically such surprises.
Nissan Altima in the UAE
Great car, very roomy, holds the road perfectly on the highway, easy to drive in the city. The rental process is very comfortable - the guys bring the car to the airport right to the arrival, quickly sign the papers and drive off. Return also without waiting, at the designated time. The deposit was returned as they said - exactly in 10 days, in full on the Russian card. In general I recommend, next time I will definitely take a car here - the choice of car options is very decent.
