BMW 430 M Sport Cabrio in the UAE
Everything went great! I will contact you again!
Nissan Altima in the UAE
Great car, very roomy, holds the road perfectly on the highway, easy to drive in the city. The rental process is very comfortable - the guys bring the car to the airport right to the arrival, quickly sign the papers and drive off. Return also without waiting, at the designated time. The deposit was returned as they said - exactly in 10 days, in full on the Russian card. In general I recommend, next time I will definitely take a car here - the choice of car options is very decent.

Chevrolet Captiva in the UAE
Landlords are not decent!!! In the search criteria were set parameters for cash and without deposit, respectively, and the cost of rent is higher!!!! The order was confirmed and prepayment was taken, but by the appointed time the car was not provided. They started to demand a deposit or payment by card. On the question why so, the answer just struck "You are on the black list". What list if it is my first time in the UAE? They could not confirm it As a result of long dialogs the car was not provided, all our plans went to ruin. The deposit was barely returned after a long agreement. In a word, JULIET!!!
Nissan Kicks in the UAE
I used the Take Cars service. Unfortunately the first chosen car was not confirmed, but the service quickly found an alternative, even on more favorable terms. I received and handed over the car at Almaktum airport, we managed to agree without extra fees. And what is important, I did not leave any deposit for the car itself, which is very rare. I am completely satisfied with the service.
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.
Chevrolet Aveo in the UAE
Everything went well. The only thing was that we had a long meeting with the car delivery driver. As we would have liked him to meet us in the arrival area, but in the end he met us at the fifth exit of the departure area, which is not very convenient at a large airport. The landlord charged 100 dirhams for washing the car, which will be deducted from the deposit. I am waiting for the deposit to be returned. And so the car is quite working, although a little battered by life, but for this money for the UAE it is a sin to complain
Audi Q5 in the UAE
Hi it all went well, car was as described, delivered by a competent guy, and recovered as planned. No issue at all...it was a q5, white, well maintained and equipped...
Kia Picanto in the UAE
Everything went well, thank you for your work
Toyota Yaris Ativ in the UAE
Everything went great, the company employees were courteous I liked everything.
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
We rented a car online through the website, without a deposit, which was crucial for us, as we have no opportunity to provide a foreign credit card to block the funds on it for a deposit. The car was brought directly to the airport, which is very convenient. We were given a higher class than it was stated - thank you for that! There were no problems with the car, at the speed of 120 it automatically triggered a signal that you need to slow down in order to avoid a fine. Gave the car back also at the airport, even without meeting the driver. Asked to take a video of the car and put the key on the left front wheel. Thank you for your trust and such convenient conditions, we will definitely apply again!
Chevrolet Spark in the UAE
I wouldn’t like to speak negatively, but there’s no other way. Firstly, the car was not the one I rented, secondly, the car was very dirty, and thirdly, they did not return the deposit despite the fact that it had already been a month. I’m very unhappy and I think I’m not the first person.
