Ford C-Max in Albania
I was completely satisfied with the car rental, despite the fact that the local guys spoke almost no English - they were very cordial and friendly, communication with them left only positive emotions and memories. All the conditions of the original agreement were fulfilled, no pitfalls were found, which I am very happy about.
Volkswagen Golf 5 in Albania
We enjoyed it, is was smooth and we had a good time in Albania
Fiat Panda in Albania
It was not the best rental car and service from the Guy. So yes 🙂 They Lie about everything… The car: Broken airco with 39 degrees, no 5th gear, light Inside is broken, 1 of the 2 wipers that is broken, tub right front mirror falls continu off, rim is maked with waist rips, rim is falling while driving, no range for the radio, if you can tell me this is a normal car and normal service…. And your company text me before that we get not what we want; Fiat Punto instead of the Peugeot 307 we booked… and I allready told them that I needed airco. They told is was managed… The car was dangerous, way too hot and ready to be demolished. That afterwards you had the guts to rent it out. They have 100% never seen the car before. When we want to return the car, the lie to me. It was possible to bring the car back at 02.00 o clock. But in the last moment I had to pat 40 euro. Ridiculus. And the worst, when i don’t want to pay extra money… I was the Mother Fucker, They want to kill me and more… So I run away and I was really scared …
Ford Fiesta in Albania
it was okay. But as we had a long drive a head, we should’ve rented a stronger car 1.4 was a bit harsh for a long drive We went up hills
Ford C-Max in Albania
car rental went well, we got exactly the car that we reserved on the site, the registration and transfer of the car was quick and without problems. we were satisfied
Toyota Yaris in Albania
But it went very well overall! The car was allright and the contact with the company was good as well.
Volvo V60 in Albania
Everything was fine. The car is running. The only comment: the car should still be served with a full tank, not with a quarter. Receiving the car at the airport and handing it over where it was convenient for us, although for some extra charge - it was good and not tense.
Volkswagen Golf 5 in Albania
they gave us a worn down, not maintained car where literally everything was broken (and I mean everything) we found out during our stay. A dangerous car (flat tyres, no car horn, engine shut off when driving in first gear in the mountains) and numerous other stuff broken or missing. I contacted him (Aldi) about it. I had to drive back to Tirana to get a lifting jack for the car. In the end he was joking about it (I wouldn't need a car horn in Albania - we almost got into an accident because of this missing car horn). Also when renting the car I was asking a couple of times about the insurance. They said: no problem: everything is okay (his brother in law who was running the business in Tirana didn't speak English). Then on top of everything we had a huge engine failure in the mountains which he stated caused by our doing. I still don't know what happened to the car. After a few days he started texting me to pay him a lot of money for this (I think it was 2000 euro or something; oh no I got a 'discount'). And he started waving his contract (Albanian) at me. I declined because of the fact that I still don't know what happened to the car (never saw an official damage contract) and the bad state of the car. I never got a replacement car. So we only had the 16 days or so. We missed out 12 days. And then the 'threats' started. He would go to the police, legal steps, etc. He and his brother started pushing pressure on us. We left Albania because of this. And he is still sending me whatsapp messages through his 'friends' I guess. I should pay him or otherwise....I'm blocking everything right now. I already contacted my lawyer about this whole situation. This Aldi guy will give you a different story I guess, but this is my point of view. And in my point of view he is owing me money (car rental, deposit, full tank, taxi/bus).

it was a very good experience And great communication with Aldi
Volkswagen Passat Variant in Albania
Erald was excellent from start to finish. Very good communication and helpful with changes to plans Car was as described. Good all round service
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

The car I rented is not the car I received. When you met your coworker to pick up the car, it was the wrong car. I waited with her for 1 hour until another car arrived to replace her. This new car wasn't that car either, but I didn't want to wait any longer for another car to arrive since I had already wasted time waiting. They gave me a VW Sharan car. The rear tires were very bald and the air intake filter kept falling off while driving. Your colleague with whom I dealt was informed of the problems. Luckily, the car didn't break down and my wife and I were able to continue our vacation.

We had to rush back to Portugal, so the person we met for the rental took us straight to the airport. My review is positive, the service is good. The person showed understanding of the situation and agreed to a solution that was best for both.
