Ford C-Max in Albania
I was completely satisfied with the car rental, despite the fact that the local guys spoke almost no English - they were very cordial and friendly, communication with them left only positive emotions and memories. All the conditions of the original agreement were fulfilled, no pitfalls were found, which I am very happy about.
Audi A3 in Albania
A3 was not in a good shape and very dirty. We decided to upgrade for a passat CC for a 25€/day extra. The car drove us well but had serious electronic/sensors issues which made us feel a bit axious during the trip. The car rental guys were very nice though. I took this pic while driving. I sometimes had all the alerts turned on and the speedometer/RPM not working while driving. Very scary. But the rental guy told me it was "normal" so i kept on going and the car appeared to be ok all the way (around 900km).
Mercedes-Benz C180 in Albania
It was good
Ford Fiesta in Albania
Really nice! Communication quick. Pick up and drop off were fast as well. The lady even called a taxi for us to go to the airport.
Ford Fiesta in Albania
it was okay. But as we had a long drive a head, we should’ve rented a stronger car 1.4 was a bit harsh for a long drive We went up hills
Ford Fiesta in Albania
the car was fine and worked perfectly, thank you the guy to whom we had to give the car back did not reply the early morning when we had to take the plane so we were actually afraid to miss the plane so please try to tell him this, also because at last we just left the keys inside so he could have told us theday before and everything would have gone perfectly thank you
Volkswagen Golf 6 in Albania
we rented the car and we live directly or I was picked up directly at the airport by an employee and shown the car there. I did a quick look over the car and found a few dents but overall it was fine what I didn't know at the time is that the car horn is very important an Albania and it wasn't there at all. It was broken, nothing happened when I pressed the horn. The tires were also pretty worn out. After a few days the tires also became our downfall - one tire was flat. We then replaced the tire a total of 4 times, meaning we changed the tire four times and in the end the spare tire also had a flat tire. in the middle of nowhere we then had to have the tire replaced with the help of a villager and his cousin that paid from our register and the owner of the car or rental company made a little effort to give us the money. Only after we said we wanted to talk to the police did they finally cooperate with us. So in the end everything worked out well, we were happy with the car or with the performance with the horsepower, But as most people locally have recommended, we would only rent a car locally and no longer via a website when we are in Germany. They all told us that we would get better cars, i.e. better quality, for the same or less money
Skoda Fabia in Albania
It wasn't as good as we would have liked. The car finally turned out to be a ford fiesta quite deteriorated and with a broken horn, quite dangerous in Albania. however the delivery and collection of the vehicle was fast and efficient
Toyota Yaris in Albania
When it comes to renting a car, there were minor problems, but the landlord rose to the challenge and gave us a better car than we were supposed to have initially, which is a great plus. the car drove great and was at an affordable price, which was very important to us. Technically, the car was functional and any small problem that occurred was immediately solved with one phone call. So overall, I rate the car rental as very good
Volkswagen Polo in Albania
Unfortunately, I was not happy with the process from start to finish. The owner of the vehicle was very unpleasant and the vehicle had mechanical issues.
Mercedes-Benz Viano in Albania
Second day , we smelled gasoline for many kilometers, fortunately we decided to stop. The gasoline hose was spraying diesel all over the place we risked catching 8 people on fire with a 5 year old child. We called the owner who after only 3 hours got us the spare van requesting the wasted gasoline from the first van although more than half was lost on the road, the gasoline from the second van . We stayed for more than an hour in an isolated road with a minor of 5 years then a private person gave us a ride for only 30 euros to a cafe almost ten kilometers from the place where we stopped and of course we had to have lunch there given the hour despite other friends were waiting for us at the Benje spa with sandwiches and of course needless to say a day totally skipped because of this breakdown . In the end according to him on the bill he only took off from us the 30 euros of the passage. Needless to say that through a lawyer we are trying to figure out whether to proceed legally since the child's mother is Albanian because we were treated really badly. P.s. the owner demanded that we thank him for bringing us in only three hours the replacement van , which by the way in other parts of the world is totally normal and moreover we had full kasco insurance. Be careful !!!
Volkswagen Golf Plus in Albania
Everything was fine and went smooth. Our flight was delayed but they waited for us, I suggest to give your flight no. so they can track if there is any delay. Car was in good condition, we had no problem during our stay, highly recommended.
