Mitsubishi Xpander in the UAE
We rented a car. We found the office quickly, we did not use the car delivery to the hotel. We had to wait, but it was very long, about 40 minutes. At the beginning they said that they were preparing it, but in fact it was standing there. The engine was cold)))). Acceptance was fast enough and fair, even the manager himself showed the defects in the car, which we did not notice. The main disadvantage was that the windshield was covered with something, to be exact, the whole car was covered with some protective compound, and when they covered it, apparently, they forgot to cover the windshield. It's like glue and fine sand. And it doesn't come off, we tried it. During the day, when driving, it was fine, but at night it turned out to be extremely bad, also when the sun was right on the course. Otherwise - everything is normal. Handing over the car was also quick. The manager looked at the absence of new damage. We washed the car before handing it over. Gasoline was even a little more than it was. We liked it. No deposit. We prepaid with a MIR card and paid in cash, we paid in dirhams.

Honda HR-V in the UAE
Everything was fine.On the last day because of local holidays there were no free drivers to pick up cars from the hotel. As a result, we had one more day of free riding, i.e. free of charge. It turns out that it is not Friday, but Sunday parking is free.

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.
Toyota C-HR in the UAE
I am sharing my impressions and experience about renting a car in the Arab emirates in the summer of 24. I ordered a car on the website, made a prepayment in rubles through the website. At the appointed time drove up to the company office, got the keys to the car. Beautiful car, practically new, in excellent technical condition. There are no questions to the car, drove it for two weeks, handed over the car also without any problems. The only problem I had was a letter demanding to pay for toll roads, which came two months after returning to Moscow. And here was a serious enough problem, because it was not difficult to pay the debt on the spot, I had cash with me, the card "Gazprombank" worked, but when I came to Moscow to pay 5000 rubles by bank transfer to the account that was specified, it turned out to be a big problem. I, of course, coped with it, but next time it would be more convenient to immediately check the debt for this service and take it on the spot. And in general everything is good.
Honda HR-V in the UAE
Everything went fine. But for some reason it was not written on the website, exactly on the cars we rented, that we would have to pay separately for toll roads, or we did not notice. After 3 weeks the bill for one car came for toll roads. And for the second one still no 🤷🏼♀️. Didn't get the point of how it happened. But everything was fine, thank you
