I sent them an email a week in advance and asked them to confirm the pickup, but I never received a proper confirmation. The day before the “scheduled” pickup they mention that they are unavailable and offered to send a van for the low cost of AED 300. Personally i think they are a scam!!!
Oh goodness. I’m really sorry to hear that. They sounded very professional on the radio program.
