Ford Focus SW in Albania
I can not say it was good.becouse last minute, in airport they changed the car and gave hatchback instead of sw. They said sw car is not working. And as you know hatchback cars are not comfortable for 5 person and the luggage.and also we pay 50euro for nightime delivery. This wasnt in the account
Hyundai i30 in Albania
It was good 👍🏻
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.
Toyota Yaris in Albania
the car was not quite in order, also had to wait almost an hour and a half for someone to come to get the car. Still have not received the guarantee back (€100), do not know why. I hope that they will return it. But, in general, it was ok. Thank you Ivan
Mazda 3 in Albania
overall it was good. Although we did not receive a Mazda, it became a Mercedes B class. Have to say the condition of the car and state of maintenance was very (very!) poor. This gave us a uncomfortable feeling while driving in the mountains. Communication with the owner was good though. Also when the car stopped working on our last day, he was there quite quickly and gave us another car. Baby seat was very poor and far from safe. Anyway, overall an OK experience but enough points to improve
Mercedes-Benz ML250 in Albania
Everything was okay, we didn't recieve the rental car but the car we recieved was good. The communication was super and easy.. So all good and nice.
Fiat Panda 4x4 in Albania
it was all 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
Audi A6 in Albania
The car is great, the reception was great. We liked everything. 🥰
Volkswagen Golf 5 in Albania
thanks, it was good
BMW 320d in Albania
I rented a BMW 320d, but we ended up getting a VW Passat. It was a nice change for a nice vacation. I would have preferred to have a real car, but whatever. Clean, functional car, attractively priced, I recommend it.
Volkswagen Golf 7 in Albania
It was my first experience with local car hires and it went perfect there were some slight details regarding the car but discussed directly with the owner nevertheless, regarding the website and process, as I said, I would recommend it to my friends thanks
Ford C-Max in Albania
The truth is that it was not the best of sensations...to begin with, I seem to remember that we chose the Full-full fuel option and they delivered it to us with only a few km and to return we had to adjust the quantity; It also had a bad reverse gear and it was very difficult to put it in, which was not very safe and then we did not know that they managed private vehicles. For the rest, they tried to make the management as good as possible and after other difficulties in understanding each other, everything was arranged well. Overall good, but I would like more transparency from the beginning... Thank you.
