Mercedes-Benz B-Class in Albania
We rented a Mercedes-Benz B-Class, but a few days before our arrival this Mercedes had an accident. We were offered a Fiat Tipo instead. In addition, they gave us a discount. We are very satisfied with the cooperation with the guys ♥️. Since we arrived in Tirana at night, and the hotel was booked in Durres, the guys helped us to find the hotel, helped us with the settlement and were very friendly ♥️. This is a very pleasant experience of renting a car in Albania. When we go back to Albania, we will definitely contact the same company for car rental. Thank you 😌

Dacia Sandero Stepway in Albania
the entire service regarding the car was excelent. Everything was done according to the instructions sent by the rentcar. Pick-up at the sent address, transfer to the rentcar, where the car was check in and check out. After returning the car, we were transported from the rentcar to the airport
Skoda Fabia in Albania
They brought the car to the address that we indicated, and regarding the return, we returned the car at the airport and they did not even inspect it
Fiat Panda 4x4 in Albania
Very nice
Mercedes-Benz Vito in Albania
We rented a Mercedes Vito for 4 days. The car was not serviced and had problems with the brakes. Since I booked and paid for the car a month before, I would have liked the service to be timely so that the trip would be pleasant. Otherwise, the rental went very smoothly.
Volkswagen Eos in Albania
Everything was fine.
Toyota Yaris in Albania

Dacia Sandero Stepway in Albania
Do not recommend this company. Very bad experience. We arrived at the airport, but nobody was there to meet us, even though pickup was supposed to be included. I had to call them several times — they didn’t answer right away. When they finally did, they told us to walk with our luggage somewhere outside the airport and wait on the street. We waited about 30 minutes before someone showed up. When they finally picked us up, they said the car we had booked (a Dacia crossover) was not available. Instead, they offered a Fiat Tipo — not a crossover, but a regular sedan. They claimed it was “even better,” but it clearly wasn’t. There were no other options — either take it or get nothing. When returning the car, they accused us of not taking photos of some minor damage that we hadn’t even noticed when picking up the car. We had full insurance, yet they still tried to charge us extra for it. They also tried to make us pay for interior cleaning, even though it was already included in the price. The staff were rude, unhelpful, and tried to blame us for everything. It felt like they were constantly looking for ways to charge more money. Avoid this company at all costs. Terrible service and attitude.
Toyota Auris in Albania
experience with the car was good. The car drove perfectly and I had no problems.
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.
