    I paid 1050 for my Pajero. Only weird thing is that the car shows as 4 cyl 2400 cc in the paperwork, so maybe they selected Pajero io model in their computer 🤔

    Hint: all parts belong to the car. Be aware this is not a “regular” vehicle 😉

    I am also a happy RSA customer. Their rates are good, used them only once for a small incident where my neighbor bumped into my car, and everything was settled professionally and repair was done by a decent workshop that did a wonderful job. Heard good things about Oman Insurance too. I need to renew next month so i will definitely compare them.

    Turned a very sharp right at a pretty high speed. OR he fishtailed from applying to much gas and over steered to much to correct.

    Congrats with the ride buddy. Come and join us for a number of drives and then start setting up your plan. First stick with the basics of getting the car FULL inspected: battery, all fluids, compression, cooling system, etc.... You might need to shell out a few thousands to get that part in 100% condition.

    Very well written and explained. Your approach and attitude toward this is very mature and i am sure that this incident will carry a lesson. You can help become the torch bearer in the club to show newbies what happened and how to avoid this and there is absolutely no shame in that. Like @Jas Gajaria mentioned we need to ALWAYS be on full alertness, and sometimes after an incident we question ourselves on why we reacted the way we did. You did your due diligence by analyzing and discussing with the crew members and you’ve been open and transparent from the start. Thumbs up buddy, this is brilliant attitude. Wish you all the best, a speedy recovery for the Xterra, and many more rides in the future with us !

    Great review @Gaurav. It’s unfortunately a typical thing in UAE for businesses to call themselves experts while they just have some low paid number crunchers behind their desks that are ill-informed, non trained, and not properly managed. When you have plans of selling your car in the UAE, you’re entering a snakepit it seems. From the hundreds of people that call you on Dubizzle with stupid offers, scammers, fakers, and people just waisting your time, a genuine car selling website like Carswitch would be a great concept IF managed properly by a group of specialists that have the ease of mind of their customers as first priority. Your genuine review informs people, and that’s what the core and purpose of Carnity is all about: protecting the car enthusiast from dubious businesses and helping them to avoid the snake pit.

    Our newbies that joined today, and the potential newbies that will join the coming off-roading season, will get a taste of @Srikumar his great skills: From the detailed and complete briefing, to the overall smooth routing, everything was in its right place to give newbies the knowledge and confidence to get the first steps in the sand and allow them to further advance this great hobby in a professional and safe way. I am very proud to see Carnity as a whole growing year after year, not afraid of challenging itself or reinventing itself. It’s the way to success and all members will reap the benefits from that !

    Welcome to Carnity ! Should be no big issue as long as you keep the same specs.

    Last time I’ve seen a car going up and down like that on a parking lot, there were other things going on 😂

    I’m not bashing ekar here, which is their competitor and I heard they are lots better. This is Udrive.
  21. Frederic
    Thanks buddy, just filed a review. It’s appealing to see the amount of low scores and number of complaints.

    UPDATE on UDRIVE: I have been using Udrive for the last two weeks, and was fined twice for not leaving the car behind in a proper location. * First fine of 125AED was issued because i parked the car outside my community at the visitor parking near the mosque. I live in Mira community and parked it over there specifically because i knew it's not allowed to park it inside a gated community. This visitor parking is freely accessible without having to pass by the gates, still i got a fine for parking inside the gated community. * As an alternative to above, i decided to park the car a few days later at the Al Qudra roundabout, which is a public parking accessible to anyone. I received a fine of 280AED the next day, claiming the car was outside the "business" zone. Apparently on the app there is a green border line, where the car was parked 20 meters outside the green line (see attachment). 😡 Looking at the Google reviews, Udrive seems to make a habit of handing out fines for vague and unclear issues. With the fine payment which is automatically deducted from your creditcard, i could have rented a car for two weeks.

    Brilliant, but sad at the same time to see how some humans can’t find the decency and respect. We’ve all become paparazzi on our way to the next thrilling experience.
