What our users say
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
On 08/23/2018 we rented a car through Localcarhires.com company. Initially we applied for a Mitsubishi Attrage. But the guys brought us another car: Toyota Camry. The car was brought to our hotel at the time we appointed and it was picked up from there. Delivery and pickup was free of charge for us. The car was in perfect condition, clean, there were 2 bottles of water in the car. We had to return the car on 27.08 at 14.00, we asked the guys from the company to extend the rental period until 23 pm, which was agreed by the company and the car was taken away from us at 23 hours. We want to say a huge thank you to Aqeel - we were very comfortable and pleasant to communicate with you and your company. We will definitely rent a car from you next time.

Hyundai Kona in the UAE
Excellent rental in Dubai, I liked everything: a) you can resolve the issue with the deposit, incl. in rubles b) the car is in good condition c) child seats are installed, I didn’t have to figure out how to put them separately d) they gave explanations on the peculiarities of local traffic rules e) service - they respond quickly and meet halfway when booking changes. Return of the deposit about 3 weeks.

Everything is great, thank you. We were late both times to pick up and drop off the car, but it was not a crucial moment. The car was fresh, we didn't take a deposit, the car was handed over without any problems.

Hyundai Kona in the UAE
Happy with the rental, it's a shame I only had one day.
Mazda Cx-5 in the UAE
It's not that it's bad at all, but... The car I ordered was not available, although I ordered in advance. I was offered another option and under different conditions (mileage limit per day), and then there were moments...
Renault Megane Sedan in the UAE
Good afternoon. Using the platform, I booked a Renault Megane in the UAE (Sharjah region). The rental company provided the car without any problems. However, when I returned the car, I found two scratches on the bottom of the bumper, which were definitely not my fault (or I inspected them inattentively, as they were on the bottom of the bumper). It seemed strange that during the inspection the representative immediately paid attention to them and did not examine the car further. Despite the insurance "FULL CASCO" (by the way, no insurance documents were not actually given to me) I was obliged to compensate for the damage. If you count on the insurance, then it is necessary, according to them, to go to the police and make a report on a minor accident, which is not possible, because there is no time, vacation with children and they are not left alone. The renter's representative said you could download an app, but it wasn't working (then I checked the website and it worked), which the representative most likely knew. The cost of reimbursement of two scratches was taken "out of thin air" and was not confirmed by anything (consultation with the office), no act was drawn up, except for the car return sheet, which had the appropriate marks on the scheme. I paid 525 dirham, the representative wanted to take cash, but I insisted through the terminal to make it official. Waited for the terminal for about an hour (brought another representative). Checked the fines, toll roads - all in the end I returned the car. But
Suzuki Ciaz in the UAE
Everything went great! Instead of a supported Mazda 3, they gave a new jac, which of course could not but rejoice) I also want to note the fast delivery of the car to any point and understanding during the delivery of the car with a delay of 2 hours. We will definitely contact you next time.

Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
Super! Thank you very much, will recommend!
Kia Seltos in the UAE
Overall went well except for getting the car - had to wait an hour at the airport, and got the car without washing and cleaning after previous customers. Other than that, everything was fine.
Hyundai Kona in the UAE
I rented a car from TakeCars, I was satisfied with the service, I can definitely recommend it to tourists. One of the big pluses is that you can rent a car without a deposit. I ordered Hyundai Kona, they gave me another car of the same class (Hyundai creta), it was important for me that there was carplay, it was there, it worked without problems. The car was delivered to the hotel, we examined it and accepted it. When handing over the car the employee did not have time to take it from us before our departure from the hotel, asked to send a photo and leave the keys at the reception. We provided a photo via whats app, in response we received "ok" and left the keys at reception. In general, everything worked out super !
