What our users say
Kia K5 in the UAE
We ended up getting a Camry, but everything was great
Hyundai Kona in the UAE
I rented a car from TakeCars, I was satisfied with the service, I can definitely recommend it to tourists. One of the big pluses is that you can rent a car without a deposit. I ordered Hyundai Kona, they gave me another car of the same class (Hyundai creta), it was important for me that there was carplay, it was there, it worked without problems. The car was delivered to the hotel, we examined it and accepted it. When handing over the car the employee did not have time to take it from us before our departure from the hotel, asked to send a photo and leave the keys at the reception. We provided a photo via whats app, in response we received "ok" and left the keys at reception. In general, everything worked out super !
Ford Mustang GT Cabrio in the UAE
I’d say the experience was a bit painful as they’ve provided the other car instead and we’re waiting for it for more than 2 hours. But we understood that that was due to the driver got collision on the way to the meeting point, hence, they had to assign another car. Also, the documents were provided at time of the car return, which was a reason we’ve been a bit nervous during the day if we’re protected at all and the rent agencies services are legal. Finally, we’ve been told that the deposit will be returned in 21 working days which is kind of non sense for us - from our experience it come back in 14 calendar days as a maximum.
Mazda 3 in the UAE
Basically everything went fine. But there were unpleasant moments when receiving and returning the car. After booking on the site, I was contacted via WhatsApp by a car rental company from the UAE. I asked to send a photo of my documents, the address of issue and return of the car and flight numbers of arrival and return departure. I booked pickup and drop off at Al Maktoum Airport. Specified the time of issuance and return of the car on the site. He also confirmed the time of issuance and return of the company's car to the lessor - they confirmed that the car would be at the airport at the specified time. But the courier brought the car for 1.5 hours. Later. Before returning the car a day in advance, the lessor asked to confirm the time and place of return via WhatsApp. I confirmed - 5.00AM, Al Maktoum airport. He also pointed out that my departure was at 7.00AM and that the delay of the courier to return the car was highly undesirable. The company confirmed that it received this information (I can send correspondence if interested). But no one came to the airport in the morning to process the return of the car. I had to leave the car key in the car key box that was installed in the registration window of one of the car rental companies located at the airport. I took a picture of the box and its location, and the car in the airport parking lot - I sent the companies on WhatsApp with a description of the situation. After arriving in the country of residence, the company's courier contacted me via WhatsApp asking where to find the key at the airport - I sent him again a photo and a box at the airport. After 2 hours, I contacted the company - they confirmed to me that the car was safely picked up from the airport and the car return process was completed and the deposit blocked on my card would be returned within 30 days from the day the car was returned. Here is such a story. 4. - Also, the car was issued with a battery in the remote control with an immobilizer that had almost lost its charge. Didn't notice right away. The first day I had to start the car close to bring the remote control to the start button. And lock and unlock the car with a mechanical key. I contacted the company's support - they reported the battery model and sent a video instruction on how to replace it. But it turned out that the battery model number was reported incorrectly - I had to buy another one.🙂
Geely Coolray in the UAE
The rental car went well. The car is in good condition. The car was delivered at the appointed time, the registration procedure was fast.
Kia K5 in the UAE
Everything went perfectly; the car was on time and matched the reservation. The process was quick, and we returned it at the same spot. However, no one came to pick it up; they asked us to take photos and videos, leave money for toll roads in the glove compartment, and leave the key on the wheel. That's exactly what we did)))
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
Everything went well. The car was delivered exactly as I ordered it by the time I ordered it. The only problem with payment was with MIR cards, but we agreed for cash and deposit together. The deposit was returned minus the car wash as agreed.
Hyundai Kona in the UAE
Overall everything went great and I was satisfied. The car is good, in good condition. It was a different brand, but of the same class, so it was not critical. The only thing that confused me was that they did not give me any documents for the car. They promised to send it on WhatsApp, but I drove for 2 weeks without documents). At the end of the rental there was a strange situation. It was Sunday morning, I came to hand over the car, but the office was closed, the phones were disconnected, although the day before, on Saturday, we contacted and confirmed the completion of the lease. I ended up leaving the car at the office with the keys in the cabin, a video report was sent to the contact numbers. Otherwise no problems and I was satisfied with both price and quality! Will definitely contact you in the future! Thank you!
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
everything went well. There was no Mitsubishi so we were given a solaris, which suited us fine. They explained everything and showed us no problems.
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
We rented a car from 12.10.2023 to 20.10.2023. We wanted to pick up the car from the airport, booked it, but forgot to send the documents in advance. We sent all the necessary data upon arrival in UAE. The company went to the meeting, our car was brought to the hotel at no extra charge. The staff was friendly. We got the car quickly, clearly, without any questions. The car Nissan Sunny is new, in excellent condition, it was enough for a family of 5 people. Drove carefully, so the delivery of the car was as fast and easy. Thank you! We will contact you again.
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
No complaints about the website and booking, everything is convenient and understandable! It took us a long time to find a car at the airport and we had to pay for parking at the airport (we were asked to meet him at the airport exit with a sign)! Had to wait about an hour for the person to come get the car! Totally inconvenient refund of the deposit which left for the car! No pritezi to the condition of the car! In general, all was well.
Toyota Yaris Ativ in the UAE
Everything is good except for a few things.
Kia Seltos in the UAE
We booked Kia Seltos. But as the car was not available in time we were given a replacement - Toyota C-HR. In general, the rental process went well. The car was delivered on time and picked up with a slight delay. There were no complaints about the condition of the car. From the minuses we would like to note the lack of support in Russian and waiting (from March 9 to the present time) for a check for payment, which we will be able to pay with a Russian card, as a small extra payment was required.
