Baic Senova D50 in Albania
The rental was pleasant and hassle free, very pleasant and prompt service.
Ford Fusion in Albania
Everything was perfect. They were very kind
Mercedes-Benz B-Class in Albania
That was good. It was only difficult when returning it, as he wanted us to leave it in a different place than where we picked it up. So it got a little complicated and stressful, but otherwise it was super good.
Citroen C4 in Albania
Last year I used this site and everything went well. This year I was not completely satisfied. The car was supposed to arrive at my hotel at 10am. At 9.55am I received a message that the car would be later. I then received a message that I would get another car and could exchange it later. Almost an hour later the car arrived. We had already driven out and waited for an hour. The car turned out to be very old and not at all like the requested lemon. It was a very old Opel Matiz, the gas tank cap was missing, the rear seat belts were almost broken (not very convenient when you have kids with you). The story was that the lemon had been in an accident on delivery by the last renter and needed repairs. I couldn't wait for that as I was going to be traveling and the nearest hotel was 3 hours away. So we agreed to use this car. Every day it had a warning light come on and it didn't shift well, but otherwise it was fine. When we returned, I was allowed to park the car in designated spots. The company apologized. However, they should have called me immediately and honestly explained the situation. They didn't do that until later. Then I would have understood the situation better too.
Hyundai Accent in Albania
The car was quite good, and in terms of value for money, it was just excellent. The rental was very cheap. The only issue was a significant scratch on the rear bumper, but Erald charged only the repair cost quoted by the service station and nothing more. Additionally, for the speeding violation, only the fine was charged, and that was it—no extra fees or deposits. I was left with a good impression. The rental owner, Erald was always available and quickly responded to any questions that arose.
