MG ZS in the UAE
it's okay)
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
Overall it's good, except the cost of the fines cost a lot more than the cost of the rental. It would be cool if there was some sort of manual on what to pay attention to. Instructions on how to pay in parking machines, instructions on how to pay a fine in the local traffic police, UAE id, some general information that Yandex maps do not show current road repairs and you can accidentally violate because of this, information that Yandex maps lie about free parking, maybe recommendations of the best navigators for the Emirates... spent half of my vacation on figuring this shit out instead of having a rest. The bill for payment of toll roads, already comes on return to Russia, respectively dancing with tambourine how to pay, maps RF do not pass. There are no complaints about the staff in the office in Dubai, polite, helpful, trying to help.

Everything went great.
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
The company requested scans of passport and driver's license on the day before the car was delivered, so on the day of pickup no additional documents had to be filled out. Due to the delay at the airport I was not in time to receive the car, I contacted the company via WhatsApp, they responded promptly and rescheduled the time of delivery to a later date. I received the car in the hotel, the representative contacted me before arrival and clarified the address. The only disadvantage - the representative did not have change when paying in cash, I had to run to find change. The car though of 2023 year of manufacture, but a little tired (body and interior), otherwise - no complaints, quite a decent condition, for the segment "economy" - just right. An undoubted plus - the presence of Android Auto in the car, without problems we managed to connect the phone for navigation. In previous trips I also rented Nissan Sunny, so I didn't have to get used to it. I drove carefully, avoided saliks, so at the end of the lease I did not pay anything extra. The return process is as simple as possible, I left the car keys at the hotel reception and that's all. Takecars as an aggregator deserves all praise because of the simple and transparent process of registration of rent and acceptance of prepayment from Russian cards. Good luck to you!
Hyundai Elantra in the UAE
I liked that the car was practically new, with a mileage of 3200 km. In general, everything went well, there were no problems. Of the minuses: bad feedback from your employees as a company that provides rental services. I had several questions that I wanted to know the information for, I was sent to the rental office, they themselves could not give an answer or did not want to. I also learned a little at the rental office, maybe people were busy there, or maybe they had non-working hours, I didn’t understand. The answers were short. If I were a less experienced traveler, I would be very worried about a rental car. By the way, the rental office does not respond during non-working hours, but your employees send to the rental office. I would like to be more customer-oriented, all the same, I order a car from you, and not somewhere else. Another surprise was the attempt of the person who gave the car to sell us full insurance. He convinced me that I bought insurance from your company and in case of problems I would need to contact you, but he could not help in any way. But if you buy from him, it will be easier, simpler and in general it will be more correct. I ended up leaving your insurance because it was cheaper :) Well, I would like more clarity on how and where to take and rent a car. I contacted the man from the rental office and he explained to me tersely. A detailed and up-to-date (!) instruction from you would be a big plus for your company. At least for me, as a tourist in an unfamiliar country, it would be calmer, even if the instruction was redundant.

Everything went well, thank you
BMW 420i Cabrio in the UAE
Ordered a car bmw 420 cabriolet, 8 hours before departure from Moscow to the airport in Dubai dxb. When I arrived the car was in place, the car was clean, without any fingers on the body and dust in the cabin with a full tank of gas. The car was practically new 15k mileage. At first I took for 2 days, in the process decided to extend for another 2 days, all without problems allowed. In general, the agency is recommended!

everything went great
GAC GN 8 in the UAE
Everything was fine. Only the driver didn't show up for the change and didn't warn me about it. I wrote and called him. The company did not give me any instructions on what to do in this case.

I really enjoyed renting a car through your website. The car was delivered to the hotel and picked up at the hotel too. The price is low. He paid in cash. They didn't take the deposit. Next time, I also want to rent a car through your website. Thank you.

I would like to express my gratitude to the company for good service and pleasant experience of renting a car. The car was brought to the hotel and picked up from the hotel as specified. Everything went well - from making the booking to returning the car. The car was clean and in good technical condition. I was very pleased with the attentive and friendly attitude of the staff. I took the car for a few days - no complaints, everything worked properly. Return went without problems, quickly and without unnecessary formalities. Prices are adequate, no hidden surcharges - everything is transparent. I recommend this company to everyone who appreciates reliability, comfort and courteous service!
