What our users say
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
Everything went great. The car is good, received it on time, returned it too. Convenient no deposit in the current situation. Thank you and the company of the car owner.
Volkswagen Jetta in the UAE
Everything went fine, the only thing I didn't understand was that the deposit for 21 is blocked, it wasn't announced on the website. If I knew about it I wouldn't have waited for the rental company to return the car, I guess I could have left the keys in the car. And that we had to wait for them for about 30 minutes, and in the end it is not clear why. But in general everything is great
Suzuki Ciaz in the UAE
I rented a Suzuki from February 22 to 25 of this year but received a Nissan instead an hour late from the appointed time. The car was in terrible condition, due to lack of time to wait for another car, I was forced to pick this one up and the first thing I did was go to the car wash. The fuel level was slightly higher than the empty tank, but I returned it with the same level. The driver who brought the car was very friendly. The manager with whom I contacted via WhatsApp kindly prepared all the documents in advance and receiving the car at the airport terminal took only a few minutes. After returning the car to the same place, I was told that after 14 days I could receive the cash deposit back. After two weeks, I contacted the manager about payment but could not get an answer for 4 days. in the end, after four days of silence, they told me that they meant 14 working days and that the period expires this week, and the money will be transferred to me on Monday of the next week, that is, March 18th. Overall I was pleased. Will I use the services of "takecars.com" again? - Probably yes. Thank you. Best wishes.
Volkswagen Atlas in the UAE
Atlas was not a Dali santa fe. Everything went well. No complaints from the landlord about the car either
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
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 Sunny in the UAE
The car was delivered on time, as ordered, 2023 year. The price was as stated in the voucher, no hidden extras. I paid the balance in local currency in cash. The staff was responsive, they helped me to change dirhams in the bank, I have problems with English. There were small scratches on the car, all noted in the act when transferring the car. When returning the car was checked, new scratches did not appear. In general, everything is good, I can recommend the company.
Chevrolet Captiva in the UAE
We are pleased with your car rental service. Without your service it would be very difficult for us to travel around Dubai. Your staff performed their duties quickly, clearly and professionally. Good luck to you.
Geely Coolray in the UAE
I have been renting cars in Dubai for a number of years, but I have been renting from TakeCars for 2 months now. I like it very much. They picked up the car quickly, new, bright, and favorably priced. The manager is always in touch, convenient payment by card online. Very satisfied!
Kia K5 in the UAE
Instead of Kia K5 - Totyota Camry .. and at departure - no one came at all, I had to call up - they asked me to leave the keys under the wheel.
Mazda Cx-5 in the UAE
It's okay.
Toyota Camry in the UAE
I booked a camry, but got really old and bad condition mithubishi. It was so old, I have never driven a car in such a bad condition.
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
I monitored various sites, and chose this one because other aggregators do not accept Russian cards. The price here was a little more expensive, but there was no deposit. The car was delivered to the airport as I had ordered. Upon arrival we called and met at once. The car is new, the mileage was 6,5 thousand kilometers. The engine felt quite weak, but it is economical and the trunk is big. When returning the renter was half an hour late, so I advise you to return with time to spare. I also advise you to change money into dirhams before getting the car, so that the necessary amount was without change. I recommend Localcarhires and this rental company.
