Audi A4 Avant in Albania

We rented another car that had problems upon arrival, so it was replaced with a very old BMW. The car had a lot of lights on, the side tray inside was broken, and the USB power cable didn't work. Not to mention a car that only drove in first gear uphill and started shaking when it exceeded 110 km per hour.

Chevrolet Captiva in Albania

The site itself is convenient, but does not contain complete information about the condition of the rented car. It starts for 10-15 minutes (either the battery is old or the spark plugs need to be cleaned). Hollowed steering rack. I have no complaints about the site. I was very disappointed with the condition of the car, and had trouble.

Audi A3 in Albania

The car was not in a very good state. It smelled like ciagrettes really bad. The rear windshield wiper was missing. Engine lights were on nonstop. One lady broke our windshield and we were supposed to pay for damages even though we were not at fault.

Volkswagen Golf 5 in Albania

just to let you know we are very desapointed with the car. First of all we asked for a golf 5 and we had a Touran which is more bigger and not modern. We did not have diesel inside when we get it and had to fill full,this is not really helpfull. Climatisation do not work well and we cannot charge our phone and no GPS inside. You must precise it before we book car. Moreover, we have a lot of signal light as oil to contrôle, airbag failure..we are not safe at all with this car. We also left with half a tank of gas, even though we had started with a car that barely had any gas!

Volkswagen Golf 5 in Albania

Your website worked well. But my impressions of renting a Golf 5 car were negative. First, at the specified point where the car was supposed to be, it was not there. When we started to call and write to the guys who were supposed to give us the car, they said to wait for them. They were half an hour late. Then we noticed that there was no child seat in the car, which we ordered ahead of time, and then we waited for half an hour until they brought it. In total they delayed us for an hour. Secondly, we ordered an automatic transmission, but we were given a car with a manual transmission. Thirdly, the car from the first minute of the lease had no low beam and we had to drive at night with high beam headlights. It was very unpleasant, all oncoming cars included us also high beam, than blinded me as a driver, and I blinded them with my high beam. The air conditioner in the car worked, but at the fourth speed of the fan it worked very loudly. Yes, that it was impossible to have a conversation in the interior of the car. The battery was very bad and several times the car could not be started. Until it had been standing for a few minutes. Well on top of that after three or four days of rental the gearbox started to work worse and worse and in the last few days it almost didn't work anymore. We thought that we would not be able to get to the place where we were obliged to give the car, but once we did.

We had a Golf 5 2.0 diesel and not a Toyota. The car was very strong and good. We were very satisfied and will recommend you to our friends if they are going to Albania. Thank you once again for the nice and good service.

Ford Fiesta in Albania

We had a good experience. The communication went very well via whatsapp. Fast response time even in the evening. They have a great drop-off and pick-up service. We used different locations. Everything was possible, even if it was a three hour drive form there office. Unfortunately our car broke down after a week. The customer service responded quickly and immediately sent a new car while we went for lunch. Thing like this can happen. More important is how it is solved. They solved it nicely. In short, I recommend this company because of the good service, car and decent prices.
