Hyundai i10 in Albania
Everything was perfect! It was really nice that we had the opportunity to get the car in Tirana city centre and return it at the airport. The guys we rented from were kind and everything went well via the website. No remarks 👍🏼

Dacia Sandero Stepway in Albania
Very bad First they gave me the wrong car. The engine light was on the whole time, they said it was the right one. I asked for a discount as the car was much lower class. Then they didn't want to bring it to the airport, even though it was paid for. In the end they refused to take it to the airport either. And they wouldn't return the discount we agreed on for the replacement car. Only threats of police forced to return the discount. The car was dirty and dusty inside.
Audi A6 in Albania
Professional service, even though we had a delay of over an hour, Mr. Armand was waiting for us at the airport. The car was washed, it looked like in the pictures, on the last day of the rental, a message appeared in the car to add oil to the engine, Mr. Armand was under the car in 15 minutes and added engine oil so that we could still go to Durres. The car itself, Audi A6, is very comfortable and accelerates quite efficiently, it also has a reversing camera which helps with parking in the city. Great memories from renting a car, I visited all of Albania and Montenegro

Audi A3 in Albania

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
Opel Meriva in Albania
The rental went completely smoothly, and the handover worked well too. There was one issue at the end – we parked the car in a private parking spot (with Indrit’s approval), but then we received a fine because he apparently didn’t pick up the car. That was a bit annoying. Otherwise: everything was great!
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.
