Volkswagen Golf 5 in Albania
Your website worked well. But my impressions of renting a Golf 5 car were negative. First, at the specified point where the car was supposed to be, it was not there. When we started to call and write to the guys who were supposed to give us the car, they said to wait for them. They were half an hour late. Then we noticed that there was no child seat in the car, which we ordered ahead of time, and then we waited for half an hour until they brought it. In total they delayed us for an hour. Secondly, we ordered an automatic transmission, but we were given a car with a manual transmission. Thirdly, the car from the first minute of the lease had no low beam and we had to drive at night with high beam headlights. It was very unpleasant, all oncoming cars included us also high beam, than blinded me as a driver, and I blinded them with my high beam. The air conditioner in the car worked, but at the fourth speed of the fan it worked very loudly. Yes, that it was impossible to have a conversation in the interior of the car. The battery was very bad and several times the car could not be started. Until it had been standing for a few minutes. Well on top of that after three or four days of rental the gearbox started to work worse and worse and in the last few days it almost didn't work anymore. We thought that we would not be able to get to the place where we were obliged to give the car, but once we did.
Volkswagen Golf 7 in Albania
We were replaced with a ford focus, the car was in good condition, everything worked. We were met at the airport, quickly formalized the rental documents. Picked up the car at our location and also without problems. Everything went great!
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.
Ford Fiesta in Albania

It went well.
SEAT Ibiza Tsi in Albania
Everything was fine in terms of registration and the rental process. A little inconvenience with the return arose with the office itself. We asked to postpone the time of car delivery a bit, but the office refused.
Nissan Micra in Albania
They met us in accordance with the arrangements at the airport, drove us to the office without any problems, processed the documents. They also helped us with refueling the car and there were no problems with returning the car at the appointed place and returning the deposit Now about the car itself, although I realize that this is probably the cheapest offer on the market and I have no claims, but in general. The car is burning a bunch of errors, the bumper was not fixed properly (fixed it myself when it began to sail strongly in the road and make an unpleasant sound). At one of the parking lots the ulems from the battery came off, the car stopped starting. There was a problem with the hood closing. And probably the most important thing - the car can be normally traveled on normal roads. We drove from Vlora to Saranda on a road that goes uphill - the car just wouldn't go. The speed uphill is 5-10 km per hour. It was a little bit exciting. But then again, as it stands, so it goes)
