Volkswagen Golf 6 in Albania
Everything was perfect!
Volkswagen Golf Plus in Albania
I was supposed to rent this car, but after paying the rent I was told that the car was free. I was offered another car, in the end I accepted, since I had already paid for it. Overall I was happy, I was surprised that the person who handed over the car did not speak English, but we got along. I expected the car to be filled to the brim, but it was not, so I had to fill it up right away. The car was good, old, but it drove well. Overall I was happy.

Hyundai i20 in Albania
We didn't have a good experience with the car we rented. Somebody from your office crashed the car that we rented when he came to pick us up from the airport. After a long wait we got a replacement car. But it turned out that the reverse gear barely functioned. It was really terrible to drive, and was quite dangerous a couple of times. The when we returned the car, the guy there suddenly said we would have to pay for a car wash. It was not discussed beforehand that we would have to return the car completely clean. Normally that is not the standard when renting a car, so this was very strange. We didn't agree with it. Eventually we got our deposit back, but then the guy said that we had to pay a lot of money for the parking ticket, and we should give that to him. Luckily we knew that was a lie, and went to pay the ticket ourselves, which was 300 lek. It was a very unpleasant encounter. All in all I have to say that it was a bad experience, and I would not recommend this company to someone else, unfortunately. Kind regards, Merel
Ford Fiesta in Albania
Everything went very well with the car company Me and my girlfriend misread the date on which we started renting the car, so we came one day late at the car company but they helped us very good by arranging another car In addition, we got a problem with the cooling system of the car, but the company helped us very good by arranging a local pick-up and a repair, and within one day we got the repaired car back We also got compensated for the day we did not have the car due to the repair So everything went well! Would rent at this company again when I'm in Albania again

I rented a Mercedes and didn't get it, it was broken. I finally got my old car, which was traded in 2 days later for another car. So, yes, I finally got a BMW.
Audi A3 in Albania
The car was not in a very good state. It smelled like ciagrettes really bad. The rear windshield wiper was missing. Engine lights were on nonstop. One lady broke our windshield and we were supposed to pay for damages even though we were not at fault.
