The car pickup process was quite slow, taking at least 40 minutes for paperwork. Returning the car was faster. They switched my car to a JAC S3; I'm not sure which model is better. Paid 52.5 AED for parking fees. Refunds take a month and I'm unsure if there will be further charges.

Since it was already evening when I arrived, there was no one at the store. I quickly submitted the documents and authorized the deposit with my card. It was done in 10 minutes. Then, as instructed, I went to the parking lot with the receipt to pick up the car. The vehicle was relatively new, from 2023, and had only run for a little over 8,000 km when I got it.

Reviewed: March 27, 2024

The car rental experience with Auto Union in Dubai was extremely poor. The app stated that there would be a person holding a sign at the airport for pick-up, but upon arrival, there was no one in sight. When I called the rental company, my first call went unanswered. It wasn't until my second call that I was told someone would come to pick me up. The person who came to pick me up could not speak English clearly and asked me to contact him via WhatsApp. We finally met more than an hour later than the scheduled time. Additionally, besides the 2400 AED deposit, I was charged an extra 640 AED for the car rental, even though I had already prepaid through the app. The fuel tank only had two marks of fuel when I received the car, and I wasn't informed about refueling requirements until I persistently inquired via WhatsApp. Very unprofessional. When it was time to return the car, we had agreed on a time of 8 PM at the airport parking lot, but the person was almost an hour late and also had poor English communication skills. On March 27, I noticed during reimbursement that the rental company had charged an additional 26 AED to my credit card on March 24 without any notice. The charge was under the name Golden Key Rent a Car, which did not match the company name. Terrible experience!

Do not choose this car rental company. First, we booked a car pick-up at midnight, but they didn't arrive until 3 AM and didn't answer our calls in the meantime. Our whole family helplessly waited at the airport, and we finally completed the procedures after 4 AM. Second, we had already paid the rental fee through the platform, but the rental company forced us to pay again on site or they wouldn't give us the car. It's been over a month, and we haven't been refunded yet. Third, the deposit was supposed to be a pre-authorization hold, but they charged it directly, leading to credit card repayments. They also failed to refund it within the promised time and still haven’t done so. Fourth, they charged us for traffic violations and service fees without providing any receipts. Fifth, the provided vehicle did not match the booked model, and the one we got was cheaper, but they did not refund the price difference.

1. I booked a Pajero, but received a Haval instead. The price difference is significant, it's incomprehensible how they classify similar categories. 2. Be cautious, communication is only possible via WhatsApp as phone calls are not answered. This is highly inconvenient. Outside their working hours (8 AM to 10 PM), you can't reach anyone. Shockingly, I had scheduled a car return for 7 AM, agreed to pay the handling fee, yet no one was around. They responded leisurely by 8 AM and still charged a 70 AED booking fee. 3. They are quick to lock the car. I received a fine on the road, which was less than half of the deposit, yet they locked the car without a call. Fortunately, I was at the hotel; what if I were on the road? Just to earn a 50 AED fee, I guess.

The car pickup was fairly smooth, and there were no major issues with the car. The main problem was that we returned the car half an hour later than agreed, which made us very anxious as we were rushing to catch a flight. Additionally, there was no clear explanation for the service fee they charged; it felt arbitrary, which left a bad impression.

Avis has a completely procedural response, without solving customer issues: 1) During the car inspection, I was taking a photo of the license plate with my phone, and the staff impatiently put the phone in front of me to sign. They even whispered to their colleagues in a mocking tone; 2) We booked a child's safety seat, but the store only had booster seats, and we were charged the higher price of the safety seat instead of the booster seat; 3) When asked about the type of gasoline needed, the staff told us to figure it out ourselves, and there was no indication on the car or any documents; 4) When confirming the drop-off location with the staff multiple times, they were very impatient and dismissive. The store could not be located on the map, and multiple calls to the store two days before drop-off were unanswered. Overall, the service from Avis was poor, and I won't be returning.

The rental caused a series of fraudulent and illegal issues. I reported the situation five or six days ago, but haven't received any effective feedback! First, I discovered that the deposit should have been a pre-authorization, but it was charged the next day (the car was still under rental). Is this a violation? Second, on the day of the rental, besides charging me the deposit and rental fee, they also asked for a prepaid toll fee. After returning home, I found out the toll charge was for another car! Is this fraud? Third, even after returning home, I received notifications of credit card charges from the car rental company in Dubai. After discussing with my bank, it was confirmed that the car rental company had fraudulently charged my credit card. I immediately contacted the rental platform requesting an investigation. However, five days after reporting the issue to the rental platform, I received another fraudulent charge from the rental company! So far, there has been no effective feedback on these issues!

Dubai Airport has 3 terminals, with most international flights arriving at T3. Most car rental companies have counters at T3 and T1, but PAYLESS only has a counter at T1. You need to take the shuttle bus between terminals, which can be inconvenient for those who are not fluent in English or have little experience traveling abroad. T1 is an older terminal with unclear rental car signs. PAYLESS’s counter is the least visible, located at the very end of all car rental counters. The most disappointing thing was that the car pickup point is at A2 in the parking building. All car rental companies have a counter here, but PAYLESS’s counter is always empty, and customers have to call to get service. During my car pickup, there was miscommunication—the staff initially told me to go to the second floor in A2, but later said to go to the right exit lane outside the terminal building. It was very confusing. With my pickup slip in hand, I went to the address marked at A2, but there was no one there. Other companies’ staff kindly told me to call PAYLESS. After three calls and a 25-minute wait, someone finally brought the car from the basement, which they said took time. The car inspection was thorough but they didn’t mention whether the car used gasoline or diesel, and I forgot to ask. The service staff later told me it was likely gasoline. The car manual was thicker than a dictionary and all in English, so I didn’t bother reading it. I took a chance and pumped gasoline. After the handover, I found they didn't give me the parking ticket and had to chase them for it. At the exit, they charged me 15 AED for parking, which should have been covered by the rental company as part of the rental fee, but they insisted. During the return process, I was at T3 for departure, so I unloaded my friends, children, and luggage, and then drove to T1’s A2 area. No one was there. After multiple desperate calls, they kept saying someone would come in various time frames but took 30 minutes. The car inspection guy took his time, examining every part of the car for about 8 minutes before signing the inspection sheet. He didn't give me a copy, so I took a photo with my phone. When I mentioned the 15 AED charge, he cluelessly said it shouldn't be charged and that was it. After confirming multiple times that all return procedures were ok, I rushed to catch the shuttle bus. On a side note, it was raining that day, which is rare in Dubai’s desert climate. I had to stand in the open parking lot in the rain while they slowly inspected the car. This was the most frustrating rental experience of my life. I hope the rare rain in Dubai not only washes the city's glamorous facade but also cleanses their hearts.
