Mercedes-Benz ML250 in Albania
The Mercedes was old and had driven 300.000 km plus, but okay, the price was good. We had problems with the engine. At a certain point we couldn't go faster than 60 on a road going up, where everyone drove at least 80. It seemed the car had an issue no one understood. Probably overheated. So from then on, we kept the airco switched off. That helped. But it was 38-40 degrees, so airco would have been very welcome. Same day we had a flat tire. Someone came to help us, just a guy on the road, very nice. A guy from the company later came to have the spare flat tire fixed, which was good. At the end of our holidays, when we delivered the car back, the guy that picked it up, started to make a problem about us not having washed the car and that in this state, he couldn't judge if the paint was damaged somewhere. He never told us before about any carwash. He said it was in the contract but that was only in Albanian language. He tried to keep our €100 deposit for this (to wash a car, really??), so we had a terrible argue about this, with him. The one that rents these cars in the website (Aldi) is a really nice guy. He talked this man out of the arguement and finally we got our deposit back.
Audi A3 in Albania
everything was not so bad, the car took us across the country about 1000 km. However, I have to say that it was probably the worst car I have ever driven in my life. The oil warning light kept beeping, the steering wheel was pulling to the right, which meant I had to constantly swerve to the left. The seats were dirty and our white t-shirts were stained. There was a broken headlight and more. But I want to say positively that I was very satisfied with the service. On the second day I complained that the car smelled like diesel and the mechanic came and fixed it the same day. Also, all the staff were very friendly.
Renault Clio 5 in Albania
The owner was very helpful and friendly, he helped us a lot when we got a parking ticket. He was very flexible and the car was very new in perfect condition, running without any problems. We absolutely recommend Amarildo and we will definitely rent a car from him again when we are in Tirana.
Audi A6 in Albania
at the appointed time of receipt the car was being repaired. Later the car drove well, but some details interfered - faulty contact of the seat belt on the driver's seat, sometimes the complete shutdown of the car did not work, the window lifter on the back seat did not work.
Volkswagen Polo in Albania
First of all, it was not a WW POLO, but a FORD FIESTA. Except for the fact that the car got locked with the keys four hours away from Tirana (I was in Xamil 😅 ), everything else went pretty well. I'm still waiting for the 100 euro deposit I put in when renting.
Audi Q7 in Albania
Other than a little initial confusion, everything went well.

Dacia Jogger in Albania
The rental was good. The car was delayed 40 minutes and one of the headlights did not work. When we took it to the mechanic, they said it was a bigger issue and they needed to bring the car in to fix it. Besides that the experience was good. The car was upgraded and the communication was 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.
SEAT Altea in Albania
First of all, the fact that we were specified (maybe even paid extra, honestly I do not remember) meeting with a sign at the airport, no one met us, no one contacted us that no one to wait for. After they were contacted by phone, we were discounted a point on the map where to go. To this point 1.4km on foot in the heat with suitcases, I repeat that I ordered a meeting at the airport with a plate 2. Having reached this point, there was no one waiting for us there again. After a call was said, wait, anyway your car is not there yet 3. Two people came to us after 40 minutes, who were walking around us all this time, all 40 minutes, that is, they were there, but they did not even come to us. They said that Seat Altea is not available, they will give us another one (honestly, I do not remember which one they offered, but it was very small). We refused, because we had 4 adults and luggage, so we initially ordered a bigger car. 4. After that they offered us a dead, old Mercedes, which we agreed to, there was nothing left. 5. On the 3rd day on the road this car got up, we called a tow truck, took it to the garages and during 3-4 hours it was made, we burned excursion, we were not offered a substitute. No cafe near the garages, nothing, rain, the day of rest was lost 6. In the end, we agreed to turn in the car in Tirana. At the appointed time again no one came. They said to put the car in the parking lot (it is there, respectively, paid). We paid for parking until the time of their arrival.
Volkswagen Golf 5 in Albania
just to let you know we are very desapointed with the car. First of all we asked for a golf 5 and we had a Touran which is more bigger and not modern. We did not have diesel inside when we get it and had to fill full,this is not really helpfull. Climatisation do not work well and we cannot charge our phone and no GPS inside. You must precise it before we book car. Moreover, we have a lot of signal light as oil to contrôle, airbag failure..we are not safe at all with this car. We also left with half a tank of gas, even though we had started with a car that barely had any gas!
