What our users say
Hyundai Tucson in the UAE
1. We booked a car at the airport, but in fact we took a cab from the airport to our office. It is inconvenient with children and suitcases constantly overloaded. 2. The car was different, but not worse. 3. The rental itself was fine. 4. Then different people contacted me and asked the same questions about the return time, etc. 5. Then when I ordered a cab for 16.00 from the rental office to the airport, the drivers started calling me at 4.00 am, mixing up the morning with the evening. 6. Further when I arrived at their office, I had to go up to their office and had to deal with the cab for a long time. 7. Further every 10 minutes I was told that in 5 minutes will be a cab to the airport, was late for 35 min car in the end. 8. In general, the service is lame, to put it mildly. 9. In exchange for the inconvenience of nothing offered, even took extra money for not getting gasoline in double the amount.
Hyundai Accent in the UAE
The car was provided to the airport at the appointed time, the car was not of the brand that was ordered, but it was provided of a similar class. The deposit was returned without delay. Satisfied with the service!
Volkswagen Jetta in the UAE
Had an incident, swapped to another car promptly, so did not drive this car. Everything was good, only the large commission (10%) for deposit return was disappointing
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
Everything went great. The car is good, issuance/return with no comments. Thank you
Nissan Kicks in the UAE
Everything went well. Ran 1800km in 13 days
Nissan Kicks in the UAE
We were satisfied with the ordering service, the payment and the car. The car was in excellent condition, practically new 2024. It was convenient that the rental was deposit-free and we could pay for everything with a Russian card.
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
Overall all good. The company made an upgrade to a Renault Megane, new, 3000km mileage. The car is good, except for the box kicking. I also used toll roads, they have not sent me a bill for them yet, which is strange.
Nissan Patrol in the UAE
Great company, great service! Work with a variety of payment solutions The cost is very reasonable. Picked up a Nissan Patrol in May 2025 with delivery and drop off in Ras Al Khaimah. The car is in excellent condition. Representatives and managers are polite, everything is on time and on schedule. Recommended!
Kia K5 in the UAE
Took a mazda 6, score 5, everything is comfortable
Mercedes-Benz GLC300 in the UAE
didn't have a glc, they gave me another car. Said it was broken.
Hyundai Elantra in the UAE
everything was fine.
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 Sunny in the UAE
The company requested scans of passport and driver's license on the day before the car was delivered, so on the day of pickup no additional documents had to be filled out. Due to the delay at the airport I was not in time to receive the car, I contacted the company via WhatsApp, they responded promptly and rescheduled the time of delivery to a later date. I received the car in the hotel, the representative contacted me before arrival and clarified the address. The only disadvantage - the representative did not have change when paying in cash, I had to run to find change. The car though of 2023 year of manufacture, but a little tired (body and interior), otherwise - no complaints, quite a decent condition, for the segment "economy" - just right. An undoubted plus - the presence of Android Auto in the car, without problems we managed to connect the phone for navigation. In previous trips I also rented Nissan Sunny, so I didn't have to get used to it. I drove carefully, avoided saliks, so at the end of the lease I did not pay anything extra. The return process is as simple as possible, I left the car keys at the hotel reception and that's all. Takecars as an aggregator deserves all praise because of the simple and transparent process of registration of rent and acceptance of prepayment from Russian cards. Good luck to you!
