Mercedes-Benz B-Class in Albania
Everything was good, no major problems but would highly suggest to put some pump, lug wrench and hydraulic jack in the car, just in case. We had low tyre pressure, everything was great at the end by just putting some extra air in it but, if something were not ok, wouldn’t be able to move anywhere
Peugeot 207cc in Albania
We never received the car we had ordered on the website: it turned out that the car was stalling in first gear, so of course we gave up on a faulty car. After spending 2 hours, having reviewed many options, which were lower class and in worse condition than the car we ordered, we were still offered a good option to replace it. Although the main reason for ordering Peugeot 207cc was because we wanted a convertible. And the replacement was with a normal roof. But the main thing is that it is fully technically working. So my impressions of the lease were mixed, to be honest.
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.
Ford Fusion in Albania
The car was very old and without power steering. I hired a car to pick it up at the airport and return it there but when I handed it over I was instructed to leave it somewhere else, logically I left it at the airport and sent the guy the location where I left it parked.
Volkswagen Golf Plus in Albania
very satisfied with your services. Delivery and receipt of the car all on time.
Volkswagen Golf Plus in Albania
All good) The car is serviceable, convenient, delivered and picked up where we needed it. So we liked everything ☺️
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
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.

Dacia Duster in Albania

Dacia Sandero Stepway in Albania
Serious rental company, affordable and responsive to maximize their customers' satisfaction and make their stay as easy as possible. I highly recommend.
Mercedes-Benz ML250 in Albania
The Mercedes was old and had driven 300.000 km plus, but okay, the price was good. We had problems with the engine. At a certain point we couldn't go faster than 60 on a road going up, where everyone drove at least 80. It seemed the car had an issue no one understood. Probably overheated. So from then on, we kept the airco switched off. That helped. But it was 38-40 degrees, so airco would have been very welcome. Same day we had a flat tire. Someone came to help us, just a guy on the road, very nice. A guy from the company later came to have the spare flat tire fixed, which was good. At the end of our holidays, when we delivered the car back, the guy that picked it up, started to make a problem about us not having washed the car and that in this state, he couldn't judge if the paint was damaged somewhere. He never told us before about any carwash. He said it was in the contract but that was only in Albanian language. He tried to keep our €100 deposit for this (to wash a car, really??), so we had a terrible argue about this, with him. The one that rents these cars in the website (Aldi) is a really nice guy. He talked this man out of the arguement and finally we got our deposit back.
Ford Fiesta in Albania
Everything was great, we got the car quickly, the car was clean with a full tank. At the end of the rental we picked it up where it was convenient for us, exactly at the agreed time. So thank you for the good service 👍🏻
