Volkswagen Golf Plus in Albania

We initially rented the Volkswagen Golf Plus, but on arrival we received a Fiat Punto due to A/C problems with the Golf Plus. So that was really nice to see that you took that in consideration before handing out the rental car. Overall renting the car was very pleasant and easy and would definitely recommend

Opel Corsa in Albania

We rented an Opel Corsa. But they replaced the car with a 2013 VW Golf, arguing that the Opel was defective. We asked to be picked up at the airport with a sign, but it did not happen. We asked for help from the locals. People called the owner of the car, as we had no connection and no internet in Albania. On had to go outside the airport with suitcases and two children. When we arrived at the office, the manager insistently asked for additional insurance, arguing that in case of any scratch and breakage we would pay a fine. In the end we paid another 220 € for the insurance. In general, the Golf was not bad, but we expected a completely different car. The car was returned without any problems, the manager did an inspection and drove us to the airport.

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.

Dacia Sandero Stepway in Albania

Very bad First they gave me the wrong car. The engine light was on the whole time, they said it was the right one. I asked for a discount as the car was much lower class. Then they didn't want to bring it to the airport, even though it was paid for. In the end they refused to take it to the airport either. And they wouldn't return the discount we agreed on for the replacement car. Only threats of police forced to return the discount. The car was dirty and dusty inside.

Opel Corsa in Albania

Everything went smoothly, with a few issues. We received a different car ( Dacia). The Opel was in for service. When we returned the car, we discovered we had to pay extra for gas we didn't use. This was partly our fault. It was night, and I didn't check how full the tank was before picking it up. The staff who picked up the car didn't seem very friendly, which is more than I could say about the guy who gave it to us.
