Renault Captur in Albania
very nice car, no problems!
Ford Fiesta in Albania
everything worked just fine. I was contacted by the guy who rents out the cars and with gis help found the spot where he gave me the keys. I had no problem with the Fiesta throughout my vacation and gave the car back easily. Communication was good, can't complain. 👍🏻
Mercedes-Benz C-Class in Albania
In one word: perfect! Good communication, car was as promised. On time delivery. I'm very satisfied!
Skoda Fabia in Albania
I recently rented a 2016 Skoda Fabia and had a fantastic experience. The car provided a smooth and comfortable ride, making my journey enjoyable. Its fuel efficiency was impressive, and the spacious interior was a plus. The user-friendly controls and modern features added convenience. Erald was very helpful.
Toyota Yaris in Albania
I was replaced with another car, the car had a faulty oil level gauge, and first gear often stuck. Also the tires were not in good condition. The people who gave me the car were very nice and friendly.
Baic Senova D50 in Albania
We chose this company based on reviews — and it was absolutely the right decision. From start to finish, Snizhana was in touch and incredibly supportive. The service felt truly customer-first, not money-driven, which is rare in the car rental industry. We rented a new car with full insurance, a child seat was included, and we were picked up at the airport in the evening without any issues. The ongoing support made us feel safe and welcomed in a new country. Thanks to this amazing team, we saw all the beautiful places in Albania we had dreamed of. Highly recommended!
Opel Meriva in Albania
The rental went completely smoothly, and the handover worked well too. There was one issue at the end – we parked the car in a private parking spot (with Indrit’s approval), but then we received a fine because he apparently didn’t pick up the car. That was a bit annoying. Otherwise: everything was great!
Volkswagen Golf 5 in Albania
The car wasn't good at all, as it had four kids in it and was a bit limited in climbing (and also, of course, consumed more since it was gasoline) -> however, we negotiated a discount off the total cost.
Mercedes-Benz A-Class in Albania
Other than the doors not closing, everything else was good..... the car is very old, but it was comfortable to get around in!
Volkswagen Touran in Albania

Audi A6 Avant in Albania

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.
