What our users say
Volkswagen Jetta in the UAE
Had an incident, swapped to another car promptly, so did not drive this car. Everything was good, only the large commission (10%) for deposit return was disappointing
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.
Toyota Camry in the UAE
I got an Audi A3 instead of a Camry, it didn't affect me in any way. Everything went perfectly, I received it in Dubai mall and handed it over at the airport. There were no problems, the price was fine. The landlord was always in touch. Feedback on the site, also everything is fine, it is convenient that you can pay by RF card, in the UAE paid through Union Pay. I would like to be able to pay 100% of the rent on the site, 15-20% to write off and the rest with a hold and then write off after the fact, so as not to pay directly to the landlord. It was very convenient that there was no deductible or deposit.
Jetour Dashing in the UAE
The Company does not provide an invoice. The executing company did not hand out the car without cash payment although credit card payment was mentioned by LocalCarHires.
MG ZS in the UAE
Everything is good, but the car was brought not the one I ordered, not Mg Motor Zs, some Chinese balalaika like Solaris, the car was dirty inside, smelled something and the covers are some soiled red color.
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
Suddenly everything went well. A new car was handed in. There were no problems when handing over: Nine was asked for minor scratches, fines and parking and salicies were not required. I liked it. Did not leave a deposit.
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
We rented a car. The service is great. We were delivered to the airport. We upgraded the class of car free of charge - we got a new Toyota Camry with mileage of only 19 thousand kilometers. I recommend this service and Akil.

Mitsubishi Mirage in the UAE
Everything was great 👍🏻 Easy, convenient, fast
Chevrolet Captiva in the UAE
Everything went fine. But only I did not understand why I paid some extra fine. There is a moment when I gave the car away, corresponded with three people, and it is not clear who was supposed to come, as a result, 2 employees of the company arrived for the car.
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
Everything went well, everyone loved it!
