MG ZS in the UAE
it's okay)
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
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!
Mazda CX-5 in the UAE
It's not that it's bad at all, but... The car I ordered was not available, although I ordered in advance. I was offered another option and under different conditions (mileage limit per day), and then there were moments...
Mitsubishi Xpander in the UAE
Everything went fine, they gave me a car of a higher class than the Nissan Xterra, everything was done quickly. I was accepted just as quickly and without any problems.
Hyundai Accent in the UAE
I used the services of the company for the second time, everything went great, the car is good, the company's employees deserve an excellent rating! I recommend 100 percent to everyone!
Mazda 3 in the UAE
It was my first experience with renting a car, I was very worried at first, but everything went well, no problems. The only thing is that at the end I was billed for washing the car, but 2 hours before handing over the car, I washed it and there was proof, but it was quickly sorted out and everything was fine. I am planning another trip to Dubai in March and renting a car again, I think I will turn to you. Thank you
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
everything went well, thank you.
BMW 420i Cabrio in the UAE
Everything went perfectly. The car was delivered on time and picked up on time, no issues.
Mazda 6 in the UAE
Mazda 6 is a good car. I didn't have any issues. What could be improved about service is: 1) provide basic information about stalls 2) how often car should be washed (hopefully I won't receive any tickets) to prevent police tickets 3) Tricky tickets. Like when you ride close on the motorway, the camera catches this and you will receive a ticket for close riding to next car. I didn't know about it, and had to google. 4) insurance. In all European countries if you take a full coverage it means I don't care if someone on the car parking will open their door and the car will be damaged. It's very strange that I need to check car every time and call the police for report. Especially you can get a ticket if they in case of they won't find any damage or damage that happened earlier and I didn't spot it. I prefer do not to call police for each small damage and I don't want to pay for that if I get full coverage.
Mazda CX-9 in the UAE
I was provided with an alternative car to the VW Teramont. I liked the car very much. I liked the service of your company and the rental conditions. Next time I plan to book through you as well.
Geely Coolray in the UAE
Everything was great 👍 even better than we imagined. The car was new, delivered to the address, time agreed in advance. Thank you very much! We will definitely rent more cars from you. It is very cool that the issue of prepayment for Russian tourists is solved, it is very valuable.
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.
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
The car was delivered on time, as ordered, 2023 year. The price was as stated in the voucher, no hidden extras. I paid the balance in local currency in cash. The staff was responsive, they helped me to change dirhams in the bank, I have problems with English. There were small scratches on the car, all noted in the act when transferring the car. When returning the car was checked, new scratches did not appear. In general, everything is good, I can recommend the company.
