Toyota Yaris in Albania
When it comes to renting a car, there were minor problems, but the landlord rose to the challenge and gave us a better car than we were supposed to have initially, which is a great plus. the car drove great and was at an affordable price, which was very important to us. Technically, the car was functional and any small problem that occurred was immediately solved with one phone call. So overall, I rate the car rental as very good
Volkswagen Golf 5 in Albania
your service was awesome!
Mercedes-Benz C-Class in Albania
All was fine with the car and the rental
Volkswagen Touran in Albania
it was ok
Hyundai Accent in Albania
The car was quite good, and in terms of value for money, it was just excellent. The rental was very cheap. The only issue was a significant scratch on the rear bumper, but Erald charged only the repair cost quoted by the service station and nothing more. Additionally, for the speeding violation, only the fine was charged, and that was it—no extra fees or deposits. I was left with a good impression. The rental owner, Erald was always available and quickly responded to any questions that arose.
Volkswagen Golf 5 in Albania
Everything was fine:)
Volkswagen Golf 5 in Albania
it was in general ok. The staff were friendly and ready to help. I have to point out that we got an alternative car (Ford Fiesta with a 15 min delay) and not Golf 5, which was a bit of a surprise, since I didn't expect that to happen. The car was ok and I can recommend other people to use TakeCars for a car rental.
Mercedes-Benz Viano in Albania
Second day , we smelled gasoline for many kilometers, fortunately we decided to stop. The gasoline hose was spraying diesel all over the place we risked catching 8 people on fire with a 5 year old child. We called the owner who after only 3 hours got us the spare van requesting the wasted gasoline from the first van although more than half was lost on the road, the gasoline from the second van . We stayed for more than an hour in an isolated road with a minor of 5 years then a private person gave us a ride for only 30 euros to a cafe almost ten kilometers from the place where we stopped and of course we had to have lunch there given the hour despite other friends were waiting for us at the Benje spa with sandwiches and of course needless to say a day totally skipped because of this breakdown . In the end according to him on the bill he only took off from us the 30 euros of the passage. Needless to say that through a lawyer we are trying to figure out whether to proceed legally since the child's mother is Albanian because we were treated really badly. P.s. the owner demanded that we thank him for bringing us in only three hours the replacement van , which by the way in other parts of the world is totally normal and moreover we had full kasco insurance. Be careful !!!
