Kia K5 in the UAE
There are nuances: the car was delivered later by 1.5 hours, they did not warn about the delay, the color of the car did not match the order, the black doors have blue vapor for protection, you could have found black vapor, the car is not tinted, and I ordered with tinting.

Mazda 6 in the UAE
There were negative moments: the car was delayed for more than 3 hours, and only after my request. Then several people wrote to me on WhatsApp to find out where to deliver it, although the address was in the order. On acceptance and handing over the car, you sign on the clipboard without seeing what you signed for. In the new damage recorded missing towing hook plug, I had to write to the office and send a video of acceptance, it was without consequences. Otherwise everything was satisfactory

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
Kia K5 in the UAE
Everything went perfectly; the car was on time and matched the reservation. The process was quick, and we returned it at the same spot. However, no one came to pick it up; they asked us to take photos and videos, leave money for toll roads in the glove compartment, and leave the key on the wheel. That's exactly what we did)))
Hyundai Accent in the UAE
No refund of deposit
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

In general, everything went well. The only nuance was when returning the car. The representative of the rental company did not come to return the car and said to leave the keys on the wheel of the car, I was not satisfied with this. I had to wait about an hour for the driver to arrive.
Ford Mustang GT V8 Convertible in the UAE
I wish it were better. There are no questions about the car. I didn’t like two things: 1. We received the car with 10 km of petrol left. We nearly died out while we found a gas station. Upon arrival, I wanted to relax and not to be puzzled where to find a gas station. As a result, we devoted half of the evening to this issue instead of just traveling on business. 2. Delivery of a car - a person is late, it is very difficult to communicate, he does not understand anything and can not get through in any way. We were late for the event due to a delay in submission. Delayed not inspection of the car, namely the arrival of a person. In the end, it wasn't even he who came. To be honest, there is no desire to use the service again. The experience is rather negative than positive. If the fuel policy is principled, they would have warned in advance, I would have paid for a full tank.
Mitsubishi Mirage in the UAE
Everything was great 👍🏻 Easy, convenient, fast
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.
