Honda Odyssey in Albania
It went great!
Ford Fiesta in Albania
We had a really good car rental experience. Good communication and service, we picked up the car at Tirana airport upon arrival and left it at the office in Tirana city on the last day of our visit. They kindly took us to our hotel after we left the car. Thank you very much and I can really recommend. Best regards, Amanda
Fiat Punto in Albania
The fiat punto I rented had airconditionning out of order , so we were upgraded with a skoda fabia. Though we wasted a lot of time we ended up with a nice car and were happy. In addition the car delivery at the hotel was really late. The drop off at the airport was smooth. All in all a good experience we would recommend, but not the lowest grade car such as the Punto.
Skoda Fabia in Albania
The car was in working condition, communication with the owner was very pleasant, and it was also very convenient that the car could be brought and picked up at a location convenient for me. I will definitely take the opportunity to rent a car from Erald when I am in Albania again!
Fiat Panda in Albania
We were very happy with the car and your service. The owner of the car met us in front of the terminal at 1 am do we didn't spend the night at the airport. The price was also very attractive and the car gave us no problem. All the best to all your staff. Kazimierz from Poland.
Skoda Fabia in Albania
It wasn't as good as we would have liked. The car finally turned out to be a ford fiesta quite deteriorated and with a broken horn, quite dangerous in Albania. however the delivery and collection of the vehicle was fast and efficient
Ford Focus in Albania
Everything was good! I booked a "Ford Focus", and got a "Mercedes A160". A representative met me at the airport and drove to their office 5-minute walk from the airport. The communication language was English.
Renault Clio 4 in Albania

Opel Zafira in Albania
I had a good experience with renting the Zafira. We had some problems with the flights but the owner was very flexible in times and days of usage so that was great. Also an old car but still driving very well. No issues along the rivht
Volkswagen Golf in Albania
All worked well thanks! Didn't have any issues Romeo had a good selection of Albania tunes in his CD collection
Volkswagen Golf 6 in Albania
we rented the car and we live directly or I was picked up directly at the airport by an employee and shown the car there. I did a quick look over the car and found a few dents but overall it was fine what I didn't know at the time is that the car horn is very important an Albania and it wasn't there at all. It was broken, nothing happened when I pressed the horn. The tires were also pretty worn out. After a few days the tires also became our downfall - one tire was flat. We then replaced the tire a total of 4 times, meaning we changed the tire four times and in the end the spare tire also had a flat tire. in the middle of nowhere we then had to have the tire replaced with the help of a villager and his cousin that paid from our register and the owner of the car or rental company made a little effort to give us the money. Only after we said we wanted to talk to the police did they finally cooperate with us. So in the end everything worked out well, we were happy with the car or with the performance with the horsepower, But as most people locally have recommended, we would only rent a car locally and no longer via a website when we are in Germany. They all told us that we would get better cars, i.e. better quality, for the same or less money
