What our users say
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
everything is fine with the car. After renting the car they wrote 2 weeks later, they wanted to charge us for one more day of renting, although we turned everything in on time. I think we agreed that everything was fine
Nissan Sunny in the UAE
I am satisfied with the car rental. I booked a car for the entire duration of my vacation. The car is in good condition. Correspondence with the managers was at a basic level of English. Depositing a deposit is really not necessary. When handing over the rental car, all existing damages outside and inside are documented in the protocol. The car was delivered to the hotel and picked up there at my request. The trip went smoothly, and the return of the car went just as smoothly. Everything is simple and clear. I will definitely turn to them for my next trip.
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
The car was changed to a similar, almost new one. There were no problems with the rental, support was always on the phone, any questions were solved promptly. Everything was great, thank you!
Kia K5 in the UAE
Many thanks to Akil - everything went smoothly! I was contacted in advance on whatsapp, upon arrival they drove the car to the DXB airport, Arrivals zone. Full tank filled. I rented a car in the same place at the airport, Departures zone. Delivery took 5 minutes - quickly inspected the car. They also contacted me in advance on Whatsapp to clarify a convenient time for delivery. The car is in excellent condition. Please note that when driving on toll roads, you accumulate a debt - you will need to pay it when you return the car (I hit Salik 60 AED). Also keep in mind that the entrance to the parking area at the airport is paid and upon acceptance of the car, you will need to pay it additionally in the Pay Zone (30-40 AED). All fines, etc. - are also paid by you (which is quite logical). In all other respects, the payment corresponded to the original agreement, nothing more was required. For Russians - there is a payment by transfer to the Russian Federation by a card (Sberbank, you can use SBP) - very convenient if you don’t want to immediately bother with exchange at the airport and there are no international Visa / Mastercard cards (they can also be paid on the spot - the employee has a terminal with him for maps). Thanks to Akil for organizing the possibility of paying in rubles! I put 5 stars, I will definitely order again!

there were some problems, the first is that there was a slightly different plan of the car, then when receiving the employee said that you can only pay by card, well with this we somehow sorted out and the third is that the car was taken away from me at 1:00 a.m. although they were supposed to be at 5:00 p.m., these nuances were

Nissan Sunny in the UAE
I rented Nissan Sanni for 6 days in Sharjah, from 07.11.2023 to 13.11.2023 I paid about 3000 rubles deposit while I was in Russia, using a bank card of payment system Mir. The payment went without problems. I paid the rest in cash when receiving the car. The car was fresh, clean. In general, at 10.00 the car was brought to the hotel, which was very convenient. I also rented it near the hotel. I never regretted that I took the car in this rental organization. The service was top-notch. Any question can be discussed by vatsap. Thank you.
