I found this site through search on google for car rental in Dubai rented a car for 11 days through this Pakistani guys I asked this question why did they do a purchase for the deposit instead of a purchase authorisation now beware this is how they get you and got me I lost money booking through them when I returned the car I asked the guy to check the car he was happy and said yes car is clean then I get told after numerous texts messages with the Pakistani guy which I have proof was noticed that I have to pay 100$ aud for cleaning the car which is a load of bull as the car was clean then I get told I have to pay 20 aed as religion tax well in a nutshell they have your own money as they have done a purchase for the deposit the money has left your account you are on the mercy what they will refund you and they are complete scammers as when they ripped me for the money the left over money I said put it back in my card they replied no so sent through western union so cost me. More money they charged me religion tax 100$ aud to wash a car which car rental which I have used car rentals in numerous charges you to wash the car none do all the proper companies none of them charge you I rented the car through hertz the next country and I asked them do you want me to wash the car before I return it they said no we don’t want you to wash the car pls this company might look cheap when you book pls stay away and this is a real feedback I have texts messages proof about what the car rental Pakistani guys charged me it is a rip off and I will warn every single person to stay away and go to a proper company it looked sus to start with I should have known they don’t have any offices in Dubai when I turned up the Pakistani guy was standing in the car park with a car which looked odd to me and should have just stopped and not went Ahead with them big mistake when I asked him for the car deposit why are you putting through a purchase while every car rental company all over world does only purchase authorisation he said that’s the way they do and if I don’t like it they are not gonna refund anything stay away is my advise
