Excellent service. Artur was very kind and punctual. We took a Ford Fiesta for 6 days, there was no problem with the car. You get full fuel and a clean car and have to bring it back in same condition. Great prices. Highly recommended!

Fiat 500 Cabrio in Albania
From the first day we got it, there were already three lights on the dashboard. We texted the guy who gave us the car, and he said it’s fine and everything’s okay. But soon after, the car started making weird cracking noises all the time. The engine was super heavy, then a fourth light came on. It was driving terribly the brakes barely worked, the engine was screaming like crazy, and it really felt like it could die any moment. We were honestly scared to drive it anywhere. Because of that, we missed a whole good day in Albania we didn’t even go to Ksamil as we had planned, we just stayed in Saranda. We left the car parked for one day, hoping maybe it would get better, but it didn’t. We only drove to the supermarket the next day to check if anything changed it was still the same. Then in the evening the owner brought us another car from Tirana (thank god!). But he still charged us for that day, even though we barely used the car at all. It didn’t feel fair, since the car was already in bad condition from the start. Also, the driver’s door didn’t open properly it was always stuck. Honestly, that cabriolet was just a disaster 😅
Skoda Fabia in Albania
It was a really good expérience! The person was really kind and informing. The car was great so we loved it! Thanks!! And a big thanks again! Your way of working was really great. The fact that we could pay cash was what made us choose for this kind of company. I think that’s the same a lot of the time for other traveller’s of clients in general! So keep up this amazing service! 😇
