Ford Fiesta in Albania
Everything went very well with the car company Me and my girlfriend misread the date on which we started renting the car, so we came one day late at the car company but they helped us very good by arranging another car In addition, we got a problem with the cooling system of the car, but the company helped us very good by arranging a local pick-up and a repair, and within one day we got the repaired car back We also got compensated for the day we did not have the car due to the repair So everything went well! Would rent at this company again when I'm in Albania again

Volkswagen Golf Plus in Albania
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
Audi A3 in Albania
The car was nice but the air conditioning didn't work well and it was less comfortable than the Golf, I ordered the Golf. All in all it was good Except for the air conditioning
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.
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 Fiesta in Albania
We had a really good car rental experience. Good communication and service, we picked up the car at Tirana airport upon arrival and left it at the office in Tirana city on the last day of our visit. They kindly took us to our hotel after we left the car. Thank you very much and I can really recommend. Best regards, Amanda

Everything was good!
Hyundai i20 in Albania
We didn't have a good experience with the car we rented. Somebody from your office crashed the car that we rented when he came to pick us up from the airport. After a long wait we got a replacement car. But it turned out that the reverse gear barely functioned. It was really terrible to drive, and was quite dangerous a couple of times. The when we returned the car, the guy there suddenly said we would have to pay for a car wash. It was not discussed beforehand that we would have to return the car completely clean. Normally that is not the standard when renting a car, so this was very strange. We didn't agree with it. Eventually we got our deposit back, but then the guy said that we had to pay a lot of money for the parking ticket, and we should give that to him. Luckily we knew that was a lie, and went to pay the ticket ourselves, which was 300 lek. It was a very unpleasant encounter. All in all I have to say that it was a bad experience, and I would not recommend this company to someone else, unfortunately. Kind regards, Merel

Mercedes-Benz ML250 in Albania
was good except the fact that Aldi noticed is the evening before the start of our rental that we had to pay for insurance while the booking stated that the insurance was free (that was the reason why we picked this car) He said it was his fault but a booking is a booking
