What our users say
Nissan X-Trail in the UAE
Everything is super!
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.
Renault Megane Sedan in the UAE
Everything went great! The auto was replaced with a newer one. The delivery was on time. The driver was a little delayed when returning the car, but not critical.
Kia K5 in the UAE
Delayed delivery of the car by 3 hours, otherwise everything was ok
Nissan X-Terra in the UAE
I liked everything. The rental service itself is very convenient, you can put filters and customize the car to your request - this is a huge plus. Also the prices through TakeCars are lower than doing it directly through the rental company. Convenient way to pay and book a car with a Russian card. Quick confirmation. The rental company itself and the car is in good order, no comments. We received exactly the car that was on the photo and in the description, without substitutions. The only thing is that we made a little mistake with the car, we should have taken something more mobile and dynamic
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
Everything was great. Thank you so much
Kia Sorento in the UAE
I was expected to take exactly same car as I ordered but they give me Mitsubishi Outlander, the steering wheel always turned to the right even on a flat road, I had to constantly steer it to go straight which was not ok. Overall, car was not on good condition at all.
Mazda 6 in the UAE
There were negative moments: the car was delayed for more than 3 hours, and only after my request. Then several people wrote to me on WhatsApp to find out where to deliver it, although the address was in the order. On acceptance and handing over the car, you sign on the clipboard without seeing what you signed for. In the new damage recorded missing towing hook plug, I had to write to the office and send a video of acceptance, it was without consequences. Otherwise everything was satisfactory
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
Everything went well. The car was delivered an hour early, no complaints, all the paperwork was done electronically, and the existing damage had already been noted there. We could pay in cash, but also managed to pay with Gazprombank Union Pay card. We did not arrive on time to pick up the car, knowing about it I suggested leaving the keys at the hotel reception, it was fine with everyone
Nissan X-Trail in the UAE
I liked everything. Everything is clear, as agreed!
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.
Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross in the UAE
There was the car that I ordered, the first one was unfortunately brought to the airport with a non-functioning air conditioner, but I think this happens to everyone. They brought it to the hotel and promptly replaced it with a car of the same model. I am satisfied with the service was always on the phone, where necessary. The order I had without deposit. I hope for paid expensive a couple of kopecks will not charge anything.
Nissan Kicks in the UAE
Great car rental company. Delivered on time. Tinting in the UAE is a lifesaver. No deposit which is very good. Drove 1100 km, visited five emirates. I was afraid that the car will not withstand the heat, but it just worked out great! Thank you very much!
