Moosa Rent a Scar. Scammers

they dont give the car as agreed, paid 45aed for car delivery. i said to replace the car given to me as it was not agreed but they want me to go to their office instead to change it myself. i didnt use the car so i said to cancel the contract but they said it was not refundable. i told them you can keep the money for car rental but return the 1k refundable deposit and take the car the next day itself. i didnt even use the car. i kept messaging everyday but car was take after 5 days only. they dont refund the 1k deposit, deducted 280aed because they said the car was dirty and 280aed because they picked up their car. i have to keep following up my own money. they only refunded 359.94aed and stoled 640.06 from me. very bad service, very rude people. they are scammers. dont ever trust them. i will file a criminal complaint against these scammers.

Scammed and Fraud. Want to eat your deposit.

Wished there was an option to give -5 rating. Horrible experience. Please don't fall in their trap. It's a scam.
For monthly rental they will take 5 aed as delivery charge but when they have to collect the car they will send their person and later tell you pick up charge os 285 aed. When I asked why it was not informed they say its written in contract.
Everyday I got either SMS from them stating the insurance has expired or engine oil need change so get to garage.
The Renault Symbol i got from them for 1 month smelt like grease just come from garage. Initially they said 1200 aed for 1 month and i had a commitment for 3 months on second month they said now rent is 1700 for such a sub standard car. I say that because they tires are so old they don't get puncture but I have to fill air every 4 to 5 days.
They said first deposit refund in 21 days, then said 30 days, its already 45 days but still nothing.
Horrible service. No customer care at all. Please avoid them. I won't recommend even to my enemy.
Wonder how they can sleep peacefully at night.

SCAM ALERT!!!

SCAM ALERT!!!

Unfortunately to leave a review you have to give atleast 1 start, I would have liked to give the rating in negative for this company

Even after being educated, we fell for "Moosa" rental service and unfortunately, we did not read the reviews earlier as we have faced ALL the challenges mentioned by the users when we tried to get our refund back and there is way more to this !

First of all, they provided us a car whose battery died in the 3rd week of renting in the MIDDLE of the road with our 2 yr old kid. We tried very unsuccessfully to contact their employees to help us get the car repaired but after trying their innumerable contact numbers we had to call someone provately so that the car could reach our building. Finally, Mr. Hasan from their company came to repair it at 10 at night. Their legal department claims that we should have left the car in the middle of road instead of jump starting from our mechanic. HOW RIDICULOUS of us trying to take care of THEIR car !! Right ???
(They also refused to pay for the mechanic we got)

The story doesnt end here. On the day before our rental was due to end, we informed their employee to get it picked up. We had scheduled them to pick up at 6.30 pm, their driver calls at 4 pm that he will pick up at 4pm, we told him that we will be only available at 6.30 pm. At 7.45 pm when we called him we said he cannot come now but since we were leaving for the weekend we requested him to pick up. He had the audacity to tell us pick it not urgent and if we have a problem we should contact the office. BUT again as everyone knows, getting through Moosas customer care is a nightmare
After 4 freaking days they sent someone to pick up the car AFTER we followed up with him for the nth time.
AGAIN THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT HAD THE AUDACITY TO CHARGE US FOR THE DELAY FEES WHICH WE FOUGHT FOR 3 MONTHS !!! They finally agreed to forego this as we provided them with all the proofs.

Again for the salik, they charged us the salik amount for the day THEIR driver drove the car to their shop. APPARENTLY THAT TOO IS MY RESPONSIBILTIY TO PAY.

After I paid the salik and pick up charges(which was a whooping 280AED), their accounts department refunded our deposit AFTER deducting the delayed fees+VAT+Penalty. APPARENTLY THEIR INTERNAL LEGAL AND ACCOUNTS DEPARTMENT DONT EVEN COMMUNICATE ABOUT WHAT IS TO BE GIVEN TO THE CLIENT

I AM STILL WAITING FOR MY REFUND AFTER PAYING MY DUES !! WE HAD RENTED THE CAR IN JANUARY 2025!

I am wondering how this company even allowed to operate !!!!

They are refusing to send deposit

They are refusing to send deposit.

Do not use this company.

I lost the key. Paid 1500aed for the replacement. They never brought it. So I couldn’t drive the car for 8 days.

Now they have made up charges to not have to send the deposit back.

I would give it 0 stars if i could

I would give it 0 stars if i could. They are 4 companies as one

HMA Superior VIP Rent a Car

Houston Rent a Car

Moosa Rent a Car

Bab al Madeena Rent a Car

Bear in mind the “attractive rates” are promotional, there is a km limit and a hefty charge for additional kms for after the return. Delivery charged maybe negligible but pickup charges will be 4-5 times your delivery charges. Careful with your deposit you might end up with half. I personally wouldn’t recommend this place. Rude people as well.

I had a very disappointing experience…

I had a very disappointing experience with this company. Communication was poor from the beginning — they were slow to respond to messages and consistently late for both drop-off and pickup.
Despite agreeing on pricing via text, they later claimed the contract overruled those terms and charged me 350% more than what was initially discussed. When I requested a 3-day rental extension, they quoted me double the original daily rate.
Their actions consistently contradicted their words. I was told my refund would be processed within 30 days, but it actually took 46 days and multiple follow-ups. Even then, only part of the refund was issued, rather than a proper refund.
Attempts to resolve the issue by phone were equally frustrating. They refused to contact me with their accounts department, leaving no clear path for resolution.
Overall, the customer service was extremely poor. I would strongly advise against using this company

I had taken a car from them three years…

I had taken a car from them three years ago on installment as they advertising on social media Daily base own your car either then rent. We used the car for just one year and paid a total of 40,000, which was the agreed full amount. Later, due to some circumstances,
As agreed amount Paid fines Completely and whatever procedure we comply it now they demendaing more amount Dubai police should notice these scammers
we are spoiling time and Money

after one year they took the car back until now they are using that car.

Despite this, they are still harassing us and demanding more money, which is completely unfair and unprofessional. When the full payment has already been made and the vehicle is no longer with us, there is absolutely no justification for these additional demands.

I strongly advise others to be cautious and avoid dealing with such parties. Always ensure everything is documented properly to avoid such issues

al so they are changing the company name again and again

i can share with you cash receipts if you want to share it publicly Now i have to email all Registered Companies email to avoid such scammers

SCAMMER

Scam. Completely scam. The car is indeed rented, but they will find any way to charge you additional fees. On top of that, they are very rude and disrespectful (and that's what bothered me the most). If you want to avoid problems, don't rely on them. Unfortunately, I didn't see this review page beforehand, but practically 90% of the reviews are one star.

⚠️ WARNING

⚠️ WARNING: Avoid Houston Rent A Car & Moosa Rent A Car – Fraudulent Practices & Deposit Theft ⚠️

My name is Mehul, and I am sharing this message to warn others about a highly unpleasant and dishonest experience I had with Houston Rent A Car and Moosa Rent A Car in the UAE.

Agreed Charges: AED 1,200 for one month + AED 400 for six extra days

Security Deposit: AED 1,000 (promised to be refunded within 21 days)

❗ The Issue:
It has now been over 45 days since I returned the car, and I have only received AED 69 as a partial refund of my security deposit.

Despite repeated attempts to contact the company through phone, SMS, and email, I have received no response. I even tried visiting their office multiple times, but:

The office is always closed

When I call, they often do not answer

They keep giving contradictory office locations — sometimes JLT, sometimes Al Quoz, and sometimes Ajman

⚠️ Conclusion:
This company appears to be operating fraudulently, deliberately avoiding customers and withholding security deposits. I urge everyone in the UAE to stay away from Houston Rent A Car & Moosa Rent A Car.

I also request the UAE authorities to investigate this company’s activities and help affected customers receive their rightful refunds.

WARNING


WARNING: Avoid Houston Rent A Car & Moosa Rent A Car – Fraudulent Practices & Deposit Theft

I strongly advise against renting from Houston Rent A Car (Al Jaddaf, Dubai) and its affiliate Moosa Rent A Car. These companies engage in deceptive practices, illegal charges, and outright theft of customer deposits. Here’s what happened:

1. Dual Company Scam
- Rented through Houston Rent A Car , but contract/receipts were issued under Moosa Rent A Car a clear red flag.
- Switched names upon return, suggesting they operate this way to avoid accountability.

2. Illegal Deductions & VAT Fraud
- Refundable security deposit was stolen under fake charges:
- "Cleaning fee" (car was spotless).
- Duplicate "Salik toll charges" (already paid).
- Made-up "admin fee" (not in contract).
- Illegally charged 5% VAT on the deposit (refundable deposits are exempt from VAT by UAE law).

3. Deliberate Avoidance & Blocking
- Ignored all calls/messages when requested for a refund.
- Blocked my number when they realized I was following up—proving they know their actions are wrong.

4. No Transparency, No Ethics
- No valid reason given for withholding money.
- No proper documentation for deductions.
- Pattern of scamming customers who trust them.

Final Verdict: SCAM ALERT
These companies manipulate customers, steal deposits, and ignore complaints. Do NOT do business with them—you WILL lose money.
