Everything went well
Volkswagen Golf Plus in Albania
The landlord Armando was calm, balanced, not demanding, was in touch. First impression of the car: very obvious that it is already an old lady, and was not very clean, everything else is a plus. Very economical, drives as it should, size is ideal for roads and parking, air conditioning works well. Traveled from Tirana to Saranda and back, no complaints. I recommend it for rent, price-quality 👍
Hyundai i30 in Albania
Great experience, super clean and comfortable car
Volkswagen Touareg in Albania
I rented a vehicle from and I’m very satisfied with the experience. Communication was smooth and fast, the renter was available and responsive. The vehicle was exactly as described, clean, and in excellent condition. Everything went perfectly – I highly recommend this renter for their professionalism and reliability.
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.
Chevrolet Epica in Albania
Unfortunately, the chosen car was not available, but I was provided with a car of the same brand, a different model and an older year of manufacture. Overall everything was ok. My low beam bulb burned out, I replaced both bulbs at my own expense. Unfortunately, there was a convenient mount for a phone in the cabin, so I bought it and left it there. In terms of comfort and handling, the car was of good quality, albeit with a broken suspension, but... I drove on smooth roads, I didn’t feel it. The car was received and returned at the airport, everything was clear, as agreed. I hope that at least once your customers will receive exactly the car they chose on the website. When registering, I recommend that you send your clients by email, along with the voucher, some description of the traffic situation and discipline in the place where the car will be used, recommended car service, gas stations, car washes. This will make the tenant feel a little more confident. Thank you!!!!
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.
Ford Focus in Albania
Everything went great, the car was clean and in good conditions. They were waiting for us at the airport when we arrived and they drove us back to the terminal when we came back to tirana
Audi A5 Cabrio in Albania
It went well.
Mercedes-Benz A-Class in Albania
I booked a car Mercedes A class, when I came to pick up it turned out that it was not there, they offered a replacement Ford Fiesta. I was with a woman and three small children. I once had both a Mercedes A class and a Fiesta. The Fiesta is smaller than the Mercedes. So I had to pay extra and take the Golf. The Golf must have had some problem with the engine, because the check was lit and the consumption was 10 liters per 100 km, instead of 7 liters. So make your own conclusion. Although in any case, thank you, because at least there was a car.
