What our users say
Nissan Kicks in the UAE
Everything went well. Ran 1800km in 13 days
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
On 08/23/2018 we rented a car through Localcarhires.com company. Initially we applied for a Mitsubishi Attrage. But the guys brought us another car: Toyota Camry. The car was brought to our hotel at the time we appointed and it was picked up from there. Delivery and pickup was free of charge for us. The car was in perfect condition, clean, there were 2 bottles of water in the car. We had to return the car on 27.08 at 14.00, we asked the guys from the company to extend the rental period until 23 pm, which was agreed by the company and the car was taken away from us at 23 hours. We want to say a huge thank you to Aqeel - we were very comfortable and pleasant to communicate with you and your company. We will definitely rent a car from you next time.

Hyundai Accent in the UAE
Everything was perfect, very positive person met me at the airport, the car was perfect for the whole week, the handover of the car was also successful. No negativity, next time if I will be in Sharjah I will definitely repeat this experiment Thank you
Kia K5 in the UAE
They didn't give me the car I booked. It had a lot of bodywork issues. Still haven't gotten my change back
Geely Coolray in the UAE
Car was great, in good condition and low mileage. Clean, no damage of any kind. The registration process was easy and quick. The only problem was at the stage of returning the car - the company has a parking lot near the office for the return, but it was occupied when we came to return the car and we drove around in circles in the area, trying to find free time and in parallel communicating with the manager. In the end we spent more than an hour, but we could not leave the car and came the next day in the morning (at 7 am), when there were no cars in the parking lot and handed over the keys with the car. Apart from these problems, everything else was great! For Russian citizens, this service is a lifesaver, as no deposit is needed.
Toyota Camry in the UAE
Everything is fine except they gave me a different car, even though I booked a Camry
Mini Cooper S Cabrio in the UAE
We used the services of this company from 18.12.2025 to 22.12.2025 in Dubai. We were completely satisfied. It is very convenient that the guys are Russian-speaking. The day before the car was issued, they contacted us and asked for the driver's documents, it reduced the time when signing the contract. We took Mini Cooper S Cabrio. Brought to the hotel, left at the airport. Although it is not free, but very convenient. We are very satisfied with the Cooper, fresh year, technically everything is perfect. For three and a half days we drove 1000 km. For Dubai is the perfect car, and a trip through the night city in a convertible, just fire. Manager Denis (thank him very much), all clearly explained the car, told about the peculiarities of behavior behind the wheel in the Emirates. was always on the phone. I took a zero deductible (which is $100 more expensive), but I realized that if you are careful when driving, driving in cities and on the highway in the UAE is no more complicated than Russian roads, and in some ways even easier. We paid only 60 dirhams for the toll roads, without any fines. We are grateful to these guys for a good time in the Emirates. in the future we will only use the services of this company.

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.
Volkswagen Passat in the UAE
It's all good.
Hyundai Santa Fe in the UAE
Everything is ok, except guides about the place at the airport, where we could meet with the company representative and drop off the car.
