Opel Corsa in Albania

We rented an Opel Corsa. But they replaced the car with a 2013 VW Golf, arguing that the Opel was defective. We asked to be picked up at the airport with a sign, but it did not happen. We asked for help from the locals. People called the owner of the car, as we had no connection and no internet in Albania. On had to go outside the airport with suitcases and two children. When we arrived at the office, the manager insistently asked for additional insurance, arguing that in case of any scratch and breakage we would pay a fine. In the end we paid another 220 € for the insurance. In general, the Golf was not bad, but we expected a completely different car. The car was returned without any problems, the manager did an inspection and drove us to the airport.

Audi A4 Avant in Albania

We ended up getting a Chevy instead of an Audi A4, but that was ok too! The car wasn't in great condition, but for the price it was fine 😬 but please check the brakes and tires 😅

Volkswagen Caddy in Albania

I pick up the car in Tirana 40 minutes later becouse the guy was late. The car wasn' t cleaned up and with empty fuel. After 300 km the car shows me to fill AD blue but the problem was in tube or dpf filter..I had to visit servis in Ksamil and the service man told me that. I can send you pictures. But I caused a small demage to the front bumper, the demage was estimated at 130 eur which I also paid..🙂 I think that they have to check out the car before pick up by customer and they have to be sure that the car is clean and suitable for travelling
