Recently my office management offered me an opportunity to be on a business trip to Qatar and I was thrilled! Not only because I got the chance to witness the fantastic scenery of Doha, but also for the fact that my company provides additional traveling incentives. Given the current state of things in this economy, any extra amount of money is appreciated. That is why you would understand why in an endeavor to cut costs, I first considered hiring a car as a waste of money.
For the first week of the trip, I only used public transportation to move around. However, down the line, I began to calculate the expenses that I had incurred while using taxis and other public means of transportation during my several trips around the city and realized that it was hell of a lot. For that reason, I started to reconsider hiring a Doha car rental service and this is how it went.
Realizing the need for a rental vehicle
While planning my trip to Doha, I had decided to rely on taxis and ride-hailing apps to get around the City. But with meetings scattered across Doha and the unpredictability of traffic, waiting for rides had quickly become both time consuming and costly by the end of my first week, and transportation costs were quickly adding up. I had two more weeks left in Doha with a schedule that was bound to get busier, so I figured that renting a car could actually save me time as well as money.
Finding the Right Rental Service
Since I was in need of an economical solution to my problem, I started searching the internet to find out where I could rent a car in Qatar at reasonable prices. I found many options, but one marketplace, OneClickDrive stood out, due to its diverse variety of vehicles and competitive pricing.
They had vehicles for all classes, right from the luxury segment to economy cars, which is precisely what I was in the market for. It didn’t take long before I stumbled into my preference; a mid-sized hatchback that I planned to use for touring and business purposes.
Through the mobile app, I successfully booked my ride, confirmed my reservation, and received the confirmation within minutes.
First impressions
It felt a little unsettling to go to the automobile provider and pick up my rental car. Although it was my first time renting, I decided not to have high expectations for the platform based on the past experiences of my coworkers, especially given the low cost of my ride. To my amazement, the vehicle I received was precisely the one I had requested. I was relieved to see it immaculate and in fantastic shape.
Two weeks with my rental Car
With the car at my disposal, I was able to appreciate the ease and efficiency it provided. No more long waiting times and definitely no more exorbitant taxi prices. The freedom to move around at my own pace without worrying about the uncertainties of public transportation was worth more than any price I had to pay OneClickDrive.
I loved the car’s fuel efficiency, because it kept my overall expenses lower than I had anticipated.
The return process
Returning the rental vehicle was actually easier than I had anticipated. I opted to drop it off at the airport because it was convenient for me. The supplier came to pick it up at exactly the time we agreed on and after a quick inspection, we shook hands and he drove off.
Final Thoughts
I was first hesitant to rent a car in Doha since I thought it would be a waste of money. But it was a very different experience with OneClickDrive. I would unquestionably advise anyone considering a trip to Doha to check out the platform. I’m quite convinced that you won’t regret it.
