Pick-up and return were super quick and easy, the car was almost brand new and in great condition, and the staff were really friendly without trying to upsell anything.

Really happy with this rental company. My flight landed in the middle of the night and the staff were still super friendly, patient and attentive, with no pushy upselling at all.

The car’s performance was really nothing special. Once you picked up a bit of speed it started to feel unstable, almost like it was drifting. When I returned it, the staff tried to make a fuss over a tiny scratch, but luckily I had everything recorded on video. Compared with rental companies back home, there’s definitely a gap in experience.

I initially thought it was a Ford Focus, but it turned out to be a Suzuki. The engine is extremely underpowered, probably a 1.5L. The driving experience was just barely acceptable, but in the UAE, it's tough to get around without a car due to the heat. Back to basics: having a means of transportation and air conditioning is all that matters.

Pickup and parking were in a convenient location, and the service was excellent. It's trustworthy, but it's been a week and the deposit hasn't been refunded yet.

The staff was very enthusiastic. Initially, I didn't know the way, and they proactively led me to the parking lot to pick up the car. They also declined the tip I offered.

It's okay. The car was an old model, a Nissan Sunny, but with low mileage. It had done 19,000 kilometers when picked up.

The process was smooth. I booked a Ford Edge or similar, but was given the international version of the Ford Territory. Initially, I thought it wasn't the same type, but after comparing it with other Ford Edges in the parking lot, it seemed quite similar.
