Volkswagen Golf 6 in Albania
Everything was good and the company I rented with, was great
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 …

Hyundai Accent Blue in Albania
Everything was perfect!

Everything was ok. The car was clean and well treated.
Volkswagen Golf 5 in Albania
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.

Hyundai i20 in Albania
On the first day, I am contacted by Aldi and told that the red i20 (pictured) has an air conditioning problem and so they will give me a Fiat Panda as a replacement. The Fiat Panda is on reserve. I take the Panda, supply it with 2000 lek and head to the hotel. The Fiat Panda in question is not capable of traveling long distances, so I stay at the hotel until the next day, waiting for a red Yiunday i20. It should be emphasized that the contact was not in Albania, but in Italy, so I had to communicate with people who did not even speak English. - On the second day, the staff assigned by Aldi delivered the red i20 to my hotel and I immediately noted that 4 very worn tires were installed, which are not suitable for a rental car. So Aldi from Italy promises me that someone will come the next day and change the tires. So for the second day I can't get it out of the hotel In the evening of the second day I also notice the lights off like in the photo At this point I get very angry and ask Aldi to be more serious about service because I wasted my vacation at the hotel. On the third day, which was even more serious, only the two front tires were replaced. I immediately called Aldi to get an explanation as to why the staff in Albania could not be contacted. I tell him I want a refund for the rental, even if only partially, but he refuses, apologizing for the inconvenience. As for the car's headlight, only the low beam has been replaced today. In fact, on the fourth day I drove over 500 km without high beam headlights. The only proper thing your partner in Aldi did was to refund me the 2000 lek of gasoline spent on the panda returned on the second day. I now ask your company in charge of Aldi to report this as soon as possible and get a refund, even a partial refund. The service was not suitable as road safety was not guaranteed. In addition, I paid full insurance to avoid this inconvenience. I paid 434€ for a non-guaranteed service I REQUEST a refund, even a partial refund, otherwise I will be forced to take legal action as provided for by the legislation in force.
Ford Fiesta in Albania
was good. Everything was simple and worked as planned. And the communication in WhatsApp was clear and good.
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
