What our users say
Hyundai Accent in the UAE
Instead of Accent they gave me an old black Nissan with a magnifying glass instead of the left side rear view mirror. We had to fight to get the deposit back. In general, I had a bad impression of the hirer.
Nissan Kicks in the UAE
In general, we are satisfied. We will come back in December to take the car again. Thank you
Nissan X-Terra in the UAE
We ordered another vehicle with 7 seats, but Jetour was available. For me, as a lover of frame Japanese SUVs, it was an interesting experience. The car from the Celestial Empire turned out to be surprisingly new, quite fast, well controlled and fast. It lacked smoothness and spaciousness in the cabin, but for a week of new impressions more than enough! Loved the rental company, very friendly at drop off and pick up. It's just a pity they couldn't accept the full amount from the card (from Russian Federation), so next time I will prefer to pay the full amount through "Take Cars"
Nissan Kicks in the UAE
Everything is good, I recommend to rent. I rented a Nissan Kicks, the car is new with minimal mileage, the interior is clean. The lease itself is transparent, no problems when renting the car.
Kia K5 in the UAE
From the minuses - it was indicated that the car may be different, but the same class - about what car you find out after the fact, for someone it may be critical (not for us) The start of the rental was a little delayed, but since we were informed of the delay in advance we made a normal arrangement Overall, it was very convenient in terms of communication The car is also in excellent condition - clean We liked it, decided that if we go again, we will also take the car).
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
In general, everything went not bad, only the deposit was returned long and hard.
BMW 430 M Sport Cabrio in the UAE
Everything went great! I will contact you again!
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
it was ok.
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!
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.
Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross in the UAE
There was the car that I ordered, the first one was unfortunately brought to the airport with a non-functioning air conditioner, but I think this happens to everyone. They brought it to the hotel and promptly replaced it with a car of the same model. I am satisfied with the service was always on the phone, where necessary. The order I had without deposit. I hope for paid expensive a couple of kopecks will not charge anything.
GAC GN 8 in the UAE
Everything went well Only on delivery the company delayed the car for 2 hours We had to wait for them at the airport with children tired after the flight On delivery they did not warn that cleaning is necessary before delivery although the car was in order They asked to pay extra The car has no complaints Everything is in good working order Everything is good
Toyota C-HR in the UAE
