Hyundai Tucson in the UAE
Everything is good, except that there is no possibility to pick up the car immediately at the airport. On arrival I had to wait 40 minutes for a transfer to the office, in the office I had to wait 50 minutes for the rental car to arrive. Total after arrival time to the moment when I sat in the rented car was 2 hours. There are no claims to the condition of the car. When handing over the car, the receiver wanted to divorce me for 20 adh for gasoline, although there was more in the tank than when I took the car. After my mentioning the terms of the contract in terms of gasoline "same to same" there were no more questions. And it is also very inconvenient that the acceptance of the car takes place in a city parking lot, a place in which it is quite problematic to find. Besides, there is a chance to get a fine for unpaid parking. At the same time, the office has an underground parking lot. It is unclear why it cannot be used for pickup and drop-off.

Wonderful service! It is very convenient to book a car through the site (everything is described in such detail that I did not even have to contact the support with leading questions, I managed on my own). In general, the site is intuitive, filters are all there and work very adequately, very liked the system of reviews of rental companies (you can choose a responsible organization). Prices are pleasant and do not scare off, there is even a system of promo codes, which you can search the Internet and rent will be a little cheaper. The biggest plus for me is the possibility to rent a car without a deposit/credit card, as well as the possibility to prepay it with a Russian bank card. Everything went without any problems, we wrote to the rental company in Whatsapp a couple of days before the arrival, they gave the number of the manager who will issue the car at the airport (we also communicated with him on Whatsapp). They met me normally, took the car, noted the damage, etc., all in electronic form, all the documents were also sent to email and whatsapp. I handed over the car as easily as I took it - not a single problem, everything is convenient and without unnecessary movements! In general, I liked the service very much - I will use it again!

Everything was great. Thank you so much
Mitsubishi Xpander in the UAE
Everything was fine. If it wasn't for the fine, which could have been easily avoided. Your colleagues told me about the speed limit, but they didn't tell me about the phone! It's a shame I didn't use my phone. It was like a navigator! I ended up with a fine. Put a phone holder and a list of fines in your cars! In the end both customers and you will have less problems and more positive feedback. Other than that, the rest of the car and the pickup and return is SUPER.

Everything was great, thank you for caring.
Toyota Camry in the UAE
All is well. Easy to book. The company was quick to get in touch. The only thing was a little old and dirty car. But the price was low. So this is to be expected. We are waiting for more information about the deposit, the time has not come yet.
Chevrolet Captiva in the UAE
We are pleased with your car rental service. Without your service it would be very difficult for us to travel around Dubai. Your staff performed their duties quickly, clearly and professionally. Good luck to you.

do not return the deposit, cheat! I contacted the site administration, they said they would solve the problem, but they stopped contacting me, they say they will transfer wait for me, but I've been waiting for 2 months and still do not transfer, they have holidays or something else, now they stopped responding to messages! I highly do not recommend to rent a car in this company!

Everything went well. The site is fast, easy to use, it is convenient that there is a filter to search for the desired criteria. It was important for me to find an offer without deposit, as I don't have an international card to deposit it. Initially I chose a different car from another company, but later your colleague contacted me and offered me a replacement. The latter company provided the exact car that was booked. The staff at the rental company was eager to help resolve any questions I had. My questions were mainly about how to pay for paid parking lots in Dubai. Thank them for their patience, tried several ways, found a working one that suited me. They explained three times how to use it, as they doubted that I understood everything from the first time, given my poor level of English. The car was 2023, with a mileage of 50 thousand kilometers, in good technical condition. I quickly inspected the car, took all the damages on video just in case, signed the documents and left. With the delivery of the car as well everything quickly, there were no problems.
Honda HR-V in the UAE
In general, everything went well. The only nuance was when returning the car. The representative of the rental company did not come to return the car and said to leave the keys on the wheel of the car, I was not satisfied with this. I had to wait about an hour for the driver to arrive.
Mitsubishi Xpander in the UAE
We rented a car. We found the office quickly, we did not use the car delivery to the hotel. We had to wait, but it was very long, about 40 minutes. At the beginning they said that they were preparing it, but in fact it was standing there. The engine was cold)))). Acceptance was fast enough and fair, even the manager himself showed the defects in the car, which we did not notice. The main disadvantage was that the windshield was covered with something, to be exact, the whole car was covered with some protective compound, and when they covered it, apparently, they forgot to cover the windshield. It's like glue and fine sand. And it doesn't come off, we tried it. During the day, when driving, it was fine, but at night it turned out to be extremely bad, also when the sun was right on the course. Otherwise - everything is normal. Handing over the car was also quick. The manager looked at the absence of new damage. We washed the car before handing it over. Gasoline was even a little more than it was. We liked it. No deposit. We prepaid with a MIR card and paid in cash, we paid in dirhams.
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
