What our users say
Chevrolet Captiva in the UAE
Landlords are not decent!!! In the search criteria were set parameters for cash and without deposit, respectively, and the cost of rent is higher!!!! The order was confirmed and prepayment was taken, but by the appointed time the car was not provided. They started to demand a deposit or payment by card. On the question why so, the answer just struck "You are on the black list". What list if it is my first time in the UAE? They could not confirm it As a result of long dialogs the car was not provided, all our plans went to ruin. The deposit was barely returned after a long agreement. In a word, JULIET!!!
Nissan Kicks in the UAE
Everything is good, I recommend to rent. I rented a Nissan Kicks, the car is new with minimal mileage, the interior is clean. The lease itself is transparent, no problems when renting the car.
Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
It went well.
Mazda 6 in the UAE
Mazda 6 is a good car. I didn't have any issues. What could be improved about service is: 1) provide basic information about stalls 2) how often car should be washed (hopefully I won't receive any tickets) to prevent police tickets 3) Tricky tickets. Like when you ride close on the motorway, the camera catches this and you will receive a ticket for close riding to next car. I didn't know about it, and had to google. 4) insurance. In all European countries if you take a full coverage it means I don't care if someone on the car parking will open their door and the car will be damaged. It's very strange that I need to check car every time and call the police for report. Especially you can get a ticket if they in case of they won't find any damage or damage that happened earlier and I didn't spot it. I prefer do not to call police for each small damage and I don't want to pay for that if I get full coverage.
Kia Sonet in the UAE
Everything went great, we are very happy with the service. The car was served in a clean condition. Payment was taken correctly. Thank you. We will be your customers.
Chevrolet Aveo in the UAE
The deposit for the car was never returned...
Nissan Altima in the UAE
Very pleased with everything. I easily booked a car for the dates through the app. Without knowing the language at all, they gave me a car with two documents. Nice people. They didn't take any deposits. The car was clean, new, almost like in the picture. They explained how to pay for paid parking. I drove it from Dubai to Abu Dhabi. Handed the car back at the end. No fines or extra money was charged. Everyone was very nice, I can recommend them!
Nissan Altima in the UAE
Everything went well with renting a Nissan Altima in the UAE!!!!
Hyundai Accent in the UAE
Instead of Accent they gave me an old black Nissan with a magnifying glass instead of the left side rear view mirror. We had to fight to get the deposit back. In general, I had a bad impression of the hirer.
Peugeot 2008 in the UAE
Impressions are excellent, the car was fully satisfied, the manager was friendly and welcoming. We will recommend you to our friends, thank you!
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!
Suzuki Ciaz in the UAE
Everything went very well. The car was brought to the appointed place, at the appointed time. Everything is clean and tidy. Thank you, if there is an opportunity to visit Dubai again, I will definitely contact you.
Hyundai Tucson in the UAE
Everything was good, I liked everything, nice and smiling guy gave and received the car. The only disadvantage was the change of car, we rented a Tucson, but they brought Mazda. And so everything is great, thank you ☺️
