Ford C-Max in Albania
I was completely satisfied with the car rental, despite the fact that the local guys spoke almost no English - they were very cordial and friendly, communication with them left only positive emotions and memories. All the conditions of the original agreement were fulfilled, no pitfalls were found, which I am very happy about.
SEAT Ibiza in Albania
It went well.
Chevrolet Captiva in Albania
Everything was fine with the car, but the rental company communicated extremely poorly. Our flight was postponed to the next day, so I had to change all my reservations. In order not to be unsubstantiated and not to make any mistakes, I asked if it was possible to get a refund for the first day, as it was not our fault if the company postponed the flight - of course with supporting documents. The rental company started talking about all their customers, although I only wanted a yes or no. After a long discussion he eventually said he would refund us 30 euros but not 40.
Baic Senova D50 in Albania
We chose this company based on reviews — and it was absolutely the right decision. From start to finish, Snizhana was in touch and incredibly supportive. The service felt truly customer-first, not money-driven, which is rare in the car rental industry. We rented a new car with full insurance, a child seat was included, and we were picked up at the airport in the evening without any issues. The ongoing support made us feel safe and welcomed in a new country. Thanks to this amazing team, we saw all the beautiful places in Albania we had dreamed of. Highly recommended!
Volkswagen Touran in Albania

Mercedes-Benz C220 in Albania

Volkswagen Touran in Albania

Fiat 500 in Albania
The car was just as pictured. They were all very helpful and kind.
Audi A4 Avant in Albania
We rented another car that had problems upon arrival, so it was replaced with a very old BMW. The car had a lot of lights on, the side tray inside was broken, and the USB power cable didn't work. Not to mention a car that only drove in first gear uphill and started shaking when it exceeded 110 km per hour.
Hyundai i20 in Albania
They give me another car, but I do not have any problema. Reccomended.
Volkswagen Jetta in Albania
unfortunately the Volkswagen Jeta was out of stock, I was offered a Volvo S60 instead. Overall, everything was fine.
BMW 320d in Albania
Recommended. The landlord very communicative and flexible. Delivery and pickup of the car at the best level. Car fully operational. 👍👍👍
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!
