What our users say
Kia Sorento in the UAE
I was expected to take exactly same car as I ordered but they give me Mitsubishi Outlander, the steering wheel always turned to the right even on a flat road, I had to constantly steer it to go straight which was not ok. Overall, car was not on good condition at all.
Mercedes-Benz C300 Cabrio in the UAE
On 21.12.2023 rented a Mercedes convertible car in the UAE DUBAI. On your website and in the booking documents it was stated that no deposit was required! On December 21 the driver arrived, was late for the appointed time and demanded a deposit. The deposit had to be made in cash or by card at the terminal. We did not have this amount in cash, the cards are Russian. The driver refused the service and drove away. In WhatsApp with the Russian-speaking manager we agreed that the driver would return, provide the service, and we would send the deposit to the Russian card. All this took a very long time, the driver came back, checked us in, handed over the car, meaning we took the car 2-3 hours late. We decided to clarify with the manager of your company, whether the next day we can give the car a little later, because we took it later than the necessary time. The answer we got was that no problem, it's not a big deal. We asked for the car for 2 hours later. All correspondence, conversations with this manager are available. At the appointed time for the driver, the driver was again late and arrived 40-50 minutes later. We were told that the deposit would be refunded within 18 business days. We were also told that the deposit is an amount that is taken to write off fines and road tolls. After a while we were sent a document and the deposit was returned. BUT! the deposit was transferred to us at a rate at which we lost a lot of money! At least no one told us that the exchange rate during the transfer will be such and you will lose money. Deposit is basically the cost, which is returned in full amount!!!!. Most importantly we were counted 2 full days! With all the arrangements. The manager promised to sort out the situation and refund the money for the second day. In the end, a few weeks later, for him just began to answer another person who does not even get into the situation Please resolve the issue. It's been more than 2 months, reviews of your firm are good, would not want to solve the issue in a legislative way, appeal to the police.
Citroen C5 Aircross in the UAE
That went well.
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.
Hyundai Accent in the UAE
Rented Nissan Kicks from March 21 to 27. We booked a Hyundai Accent in advance through the website, but they provided Nissan Kicks at the same price. The replacement was previously agreed with us via Whatsapp. The car is in excellent condition. Everything went well. Receipt and return of the car was at Al Maktoum airport. Rental payment and deposit were paid in cash. The deposit was fully refunded after four weeks on a sberbank card. So I can safely recommend TakeCars!
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
everything is fine with the car. After renting the car they wrote 2 weeks later, they wanted to charge us for one more day of renting, although we turned everything in on time. I think we agreed that everything was fine
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.
BMW 420i Cabrio in the UAE
Everything went perfectly. The car was delivered on time and picked up on time, no issues.
Chevrolet Captiva in the UAE
We rented a car via LocalCarHires.com website. We picked it up at the airport quietly, at the scheduled time after we arrived. The representative of the car rental company was waiting for us. Everything was simple and easy. Car was new and equipped with baby seats that we requested before. On the return day, also at the airport, we agreed on the time and the representative of the company was there to pick up the car. In short, everything was very correct and good, with no surprises.
Nissan Kicks in the UAE
The guys were great. The rental went perfectly, without any pitfalls. I recommend.
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
The car, of course, doesn’t drive at all, but God bless her for choosing it. They brought the car with a half-filled tank (although when returning they ask to fill it up to full) + plus they charged 35 dirhams at the airport, although, as agreed, everything was paid for. I didn’t like it, I definitely won’t rent from you again. Little things, little things, but it’s very unpleasant when they try to deceive you. Moreover, as I wrote earlier, everything was stipulated
Suzuki Ciaz in the UAE
Everything went great! Instead of a supported Mazda 3, they gave a new jac, which of course could not but rejoice) I also want to note the fast delivery of the car to any point and understanding during the delivery of the car with a delay of 2 hours. We will definitely contact you next time.
Chevrolet Aveo in the UAE
