6.8 Good7 May 2019
Pros: Staff friendly. The keep you updated via email. The drop off was good.Cons: Pickup was terrible, the staff was friendly but the queue line was very long and one staff available. It took me around 30 minutes to pick up my car. In Kayak the choice of car was Form but on reality the car was Renault Duster, so Kayak should update the profile of this car.
8.4 Excellent19 Nov 2016
Overall goodPros: They give us a bit better car than we expected because we booked some small car from A category and they gave us Toyota Yaris which is I think from B category.Cons: They did not mark clearly scratches that were before so when we were returning the car they were thinking we made these scratches and I clearly pointed them to write some of these when we picked up the car. But at the end, they accepted all of these was from before and didn`t take any money from the deposit. Another thing to pay attention is to additional cost like 16aed for "road tax" and 25aed to return car at airport, so I returned it to Al Raha mall. Also when you renting from any company pay attention to the level of full because often they don`t give with full level and they expect to return them full level.

Avis Abu Dhabi is terriblePros: Not much. Easier than renting from DXB, but that's really more of a credit to Abu Dhabi's airport than anything Avis.Cons: They called a hatchback an "SUV". It was tiny and had over 30K km on it so it didn't drive very well. Additionally at drop off the traffic made me 30 mins late and they charged me a FULL day! Not even an hourly rate or anything. Absurd. Customer service was very poor both at pickup & dropoff. Never again Avis, never again.
3.6 Mediocre4 Jan 2017
No brakesCons: The car they gave me had a whistle sound while breaking this means that the brake pads and rotorsee needs to be changed. That's a safety issues and this won't make me rent a car with avis again. My reservation number was #09681320US5

Pros: Not much. The staff at the second location I had to take a taxi to in order to find my rental car was moldy understanding that the other office was atrocious in the way they dealt with me as a customerCons: I was forced to take a taxi to multiple location after I called a number on a locked door at 1200pm at the first location and was told by an employee that he didn’t plan on coming that day and I should find another europcar location in Abu Dhabi. Terrible customer service and cost me more money to travel to another location that did not have available cars as the person on the phone had promised. Overall the pick up process was over 2.5 hours.

3.2 Mediocre30 Apr 2017
Cons: Changed the dropoff point and asked us to drop it three hours before what the paid one was because they closed early that day!? And they didn't know that before and we still had to pay full??? Plus they charged us with extra cleaning only because there was a little sand from the beach from the kids - taking the matt out and done, but no, we had to pay and extra 50 $! And the overall costs are a joke, they make a good price on paper but in the end you pay more than anywhere else - don't book there!!

WORST SERVICE EVER :(Pros: Convenience for picking up and dropping off vehicle at airport.Cons: The whole experience was terrible!!! :( First, when I arrived, he told me he does not have a seven seater available became they were fully booked and will have to give me a smaller car. I refused and I showed him my reservation which was made months in advance, he then said he will see what he can down. Twenty minutes later, the other guy came back from the lot and said he will upgrade me to a Mercedes-Benz Vito (which I booked in the first place). Then, he tried to up-sell me insurance when I clearly told him that I am not interested and that I have already purchased it. He then said that my insurance does not cover everything (without even looking at what coverage I had) and try to further sell me insurance. The associate than became arrogant and rude when I refused to buy insurance (so he could make commission off me by forcing it down my throat). When we went to the car lot, they gave a very high mileage Vito and a ton of scratches and dents. I had to take several photos and a video of the damage to make sure he does not charge me when I return to vehicle. He very furious about this and told me not to worry, that he had made all the notes of the damage (but who can trust this man). I asked him how to open the trunk; he said he does not know, he did not even try to help me. He gave also me a ticket and said when I returned the vehicle I will need the ticket to get back into the lot. However, once we exited the lot, the machine takes the ticket and opens the boom gate, it does not return it. After driving for approximately 30 minutes, the service light came on. In addition, throughout the trip, the engine sounded like an airplane taking off, I don’t know when last Budget Car Rentals serviced this vehicle. I don’t know where Budget employees these sort of people and how they train them. Next time, I will go with EUROPCAR or AVIS or any other car rental company that appreciates my money and treats me like a customer. I will also inform everyone I know about my unpleasant experience and inform them to use another company!

최악의 자동차를 경험한 여행이 되었다Pros: 렌트카 사무실의 위치가 공항 입국장에서 가깝고 차량 인도장도 가까웠다Cons: 2주일전 같은가격에 Kayak을 통해 Abu Dhabi 공항의 Payless rent a car에서 차량렌트를 했었습니다. 두 회사에서 인수받은 차량은 너무나도 많이 차이가 납니다. Budget에서 받은 차량은 최악이었습니다. 달리다가 고장나서 정지할수도 있는 위험한 차량입니다. 차량반환시 주차장에 대기중인 차량들을 모두 관찰해봤는데 이런 차량은 한대도 없더군요. 오랜된 위험한 차량은 새차량으로 교체하던지 아니면 정비를 제대로 하던지... 세심한 관리가 필요할것 같습니다.

reservation was not honoredPros: NOTHINGCons: Dollar Rent A Car did NOT honor my reservation. They claimed that I should have received a cancellation notice, yet, over 90 minutes AFTER my scheduled pickup time, my booking status remained "confirmed" in your system. This is outrageous. You have wasted both my time and my money. I will require an immediate refund of whatever charges you have made to my credit card as well as a credit for AED 120 in order to refund wasted taxi fares to and from the airport. I could not be me more disappointed in your service or lack thereof. I would recommend that you not disappoint me further by ignoring this demand. Sincerely, Matthew Sumner

Top tips for renting a car in Abu Dhabi
- If anywhere is a car country, the United Arab Emirates is. If you want to take in the beautiful desert expanse, there simply is no better way than in your own vehicle. Also, there is often no public transport options available to take you to some of Abu Dhabi’s most famous sites like the Emirates Palace.
- Need to pick up your hire car after arriving in Abu Dhabi? Travelers with flights landing at Abu Dhabi International Airport will find the car hire counters in the Skypark Plaza just across from Terminal 3 and just a few minutes’ walking distance from Terminals 1 and 2.
- Headlight flashing is a common occurrence on many of the faster streets and highways in Abu Dhabi and, for drivers from other countries, this may be confusing at first. When you see a pair of flashing headlights that means the driver is trying to signal you to move out of the lane so they can go by. This can be avoided by sticking to slower lanes of the highway if you don’t want to drive the maximum allowed speed.
- Traffic in Abu Dhabi is not an overly strenuous affair, so visiting drivers shouldn’t worry about it too much. However, rush hour does pick up in the morning at around 6:00 a.m. and lasts until 9:00 a.m. In the afternoon it builds up again by about 4:00 p.m. and cools down by around 6:00 p.m. The bulk of the congestion occurs on Highways E11 and E12, as they connect to the city.
