Chevrolet Captiva in Albania
All was good, perfect fast service
Ford Fiesta in Albania
everything was good
Volkswagen Golf 6 in Albania
Old car with many miles and check engine light on. Door not working and windows that would barely roll down. After a few days of rental the car would not accelerate anymore and no assistance was provided and the owners never answered calls and messages. Upon delivery of the car we were charged 5€ for washing and another 15€ because according to them the fuel level was not the same as it was when the car was delivered to us. High rental price. Embarrassing. Highly not recommended.
Volkswagen Golf Plus in Albania
Impressions are very positive, both on the day of pick up and the day of delivery, everything was perfect.
Ford Fiesta in Albania
It was my first time using your website, and it went perfectly. My flight to Albania delayed almost 8 hours and the deliver was super patient and attentive. The car was comfortable and economic just like we asked for. I left with a positive feedback of the company.
Volkswagen Touareg in Albania
The owner of the rental car was very friendly, helpful and patient, not only when picking up and returning, but if there were any questions, they were so kind to help you as best they could. They shared all the information in advance and what could have been a good favor on your part from takecars was to arrange the contract in advance, especially in case all the insurance and everything else was paid in advance. The car was very reliable and did what was expected, giving us a safe and beautiful trip around Albania.
Volkswagen Golf 5 in Albania

Ford Fiesta in Albania
everything worked just fine. I was contacted by the guy who rents out the cars and with gis help found the spot where he gave me the keys. I had no problem with the Fiesta throughout my vacation and gave the car back easily. Communication was good, can't complain. 👍🏻
Mercedes-Benz A-Class in Albania
It's ok
Hyundai i20 in Albania
We had no problem with the car, actually we were very satisfied. We got in touch with the local company before arriving to Albania and agreed on everything. The employees of the company were helpful and ready to help us, adjust to our requests. They even brought the car to a slightly different place (20 min drive) The car was in the end Kia Stonic (the same group as Hyundai i20) but they informed me about the change in due course and it was a new car, automat as in the contract and was ideal for the roads there
Volkswagen Golf 5 in Albania
I would not recommend them. They do not accept your creditcard as payment. In my case I had a car insurance when paying by card and they refused it, only Euros in hand. The car was dirty on delivery and they did not give me time to check the car for scratches. On pickup we had washed the car and the guy told me there was a scratch on the rear bumper which I refused to take responsibility for. So cheap rental but you may be in a lot of trouble in the very aggressiv and inpredictible traffic situation in Albania. Best regards Per Erling.
