Everything was perfect, no problem at all. He contacted me a few days before the flight and then we stayed in contact. So really great experice all in all. the only thing i was worried about was after the booking was confirmed, I had no number of him, so I had to wait for him to contact me But all in all everything went really good
Volkswagen Golf 5 in Albania

Mercedes-Benz A-Class in Albania
It's ok
Volkswagen Passat Variant in Albania
I rented a Volkswagen Passat on the website. Unfortunately, there was no Passat in real life. Your agency called me and offered me another option. (Mercedes E series and Toyota Yaris). One was more expensive, the other was so small that unfortunately the agency didn't do any discounts or anything like that. So it was not a good experience. Chose the Passat because of the large family, etc. I used a Toyota Yaris.
BMW 320i in Albania
Everything fine. Thank you. The girl on the phone and the guy who came to deliver and take back the car were very very kind, gentle and professional. I already booked another car for 15 days on August. Count on me as a fidelity client. Thank you a lot. Wish you well
Mercedes-Benz A-Class in Albania
So far, everything has been fine. Didn't get the Mercedes because it wasn't available. Got a replacement Opel and the price was the same and that was fine. The car was very dirty and the diesel was completely empty. We had to fill it up first. Then they demanded that we return the car clean and with a full tank, which we didn't because the guy who gave us the car said we could return it the same way.
Citroen C4 in Albania
Everything was very good, delivered at the appointed time, picked up on time too. Only instead of a Citroen it was an Opel. The only thing I didn't like was that the fuel tank was incomplete.
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.
Volkswagen Caddy in Albania
everything was fine.
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.
Ford C-Max in Albania
The truth is that it was not the best of sensations...to begin with, I seem to remember that we chose the Full-full fuel option and they delivered it to us with only a few km and to return we had to adjust the quantity; It also had a bad reverse gear and it was very difficult to put it in, which was not very safe and then we did not know that they managed private vehicles. For the rest, they tried to make the management as good as possible and after other difficulties in understanding each other, everything was arranged well. Overall good, but I would like more transparency from the beginning... Thank you.
Mercedes-Benz B-Class in Albania
That was good. It was only difficult when returning it, as he wanted us to leave it in a different place than where we picked it up. So it got a little complicated and stressful, but otherwise it was super good.
