Opel Corsa in Albania

Everything went smoothly, with a few issues. We received a different car ( Dacia). The Opel was in for service. When we returned the car, we discovered we had to pay extra for gas we didn't use. This was partly our fault. It was night, and I didn't check how full the tank was before picking it up. The staff who picked up the car didn't seem very friendly, which is more than I could say about the guy who gave it to us.

Ford Fusion in Albania

The car was very old and without power steering. I hired a car to pick it up at the airport and return it there but when I handed it over I was instructed to leave it somewhere else, logically I left it at the airport and sent the guy the location where I left it parked.

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!
