Volkswagen Golf 5 in Albania
The car wasn't good at all, as it had four kids in it and was a bit limited in climbing (and also, of course, consumed more since it was gasoline) -> however, we negotiated a discount off the total cost.
Audi A4 in Albania
The staff is nice. The checkout was quick and easy. About the car: The car did not match the picture on the internet. Too old. The car was in a dangerous condition. On any hill when starting the car would stall, even though it was an automatic. It was extremely dangerous to drive this car in the city, because if I had to stop at an intersection (on a rise) to let other cars pass, the car I rented would stall. It was very dangerous. But it's fine. Next time I will use your services, but I will ask for a good car and I will check.
Mercedes-Benz Viano in Albania
Everything was very efficient, thank you for everything
Volkswagen Caddy in Albania
I pick up the car in Tirana 40 minutes later becouse the guy was late. The car wasn' t cleaned up and with empty fuel. After 300 km the car shows me to fill AD blue but the problem was in tube or dpf filter..I had to visit servis in Ksamil and the service man told me that. I can send you pictures. But I caused a small demage to the front bumper, the demage was estimated at 130 eur which I also paid..🙂 I think that they have to check out the car before pick up by customer and they have to be sure that the car is clean and suitable for travelling
Hyundai Accent in Albania
Everything went well. We took the car without any problems and returned it without any problems. Everything was explained clearly and communicated politely. Thank you! The only moment, we replaced the car, but it did not affect our vacation.
Nissan Micra in Albania
It went all well
Skoda Fabia in Albania
We are very pleased with the rental. The gentleman who served us was very helpful and friendly. He took great care to make sure we understood everything well. We highly recommend renting from this company. The cars are clean and well-kept. The Skoda we rented was very economical. Fuel consumption below 4 liters. We will recommend this company to all our friends. Thank you very much
Mercedes-Benz A-Class in Albania
It's ok
Mercedes-Benz B-Class in Albania
Everything was good, no major problems but would highly suggest to put some pump, lug wrench and hydraulic jack in the car, just in case. We had low tyre pressure, everything was great at the end by just putting some extra air in it but, if something were not ok, wouldn’t be able to move anywhere
Chevrolet Epica in Albania
I rented a Chevrolet Epica on the site, but I was given a completely different, opel zemfir, I understand that it happens, but we did not really like the opel and to all this car was dirty inside, and on the back door on the driver's side lock does not work. It's good that at least it's on its lease 😄 Thank you!
Toyota Yaris in Albania
the car was not quite in order, also had to wait almost an hour and a half for someone to come to get the car. Still have not received the guarantee back (€100), do not know why. I hope that they will return it. But, in general, it was ok. Thank you Ivan
Hyundai i10 in Albania
Everything was really fine! The communication was easy and good, and we had no problem at all. So very nice 😊
Baic Senova D50 in Albania
The pick up and dropp off very quick, the lady who was dealing with us was amazing Very helpful so 5 stars for her The car itself - and I mentioned this to her - we didn’t have an AC and with the heat was horrible It wasn’t clean and they knew about it But it wasnt mentioned to us when we picked up the car And I think this a big minus considering you are in a hot country So this was not great considering the price we paid for the car
