Toyota Yaris in Albania
I was very satisfied with the car and the car rental process Thanks a lot 🙂🙏
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.

Toyota Yaris in Albania

Volkswagen Golf 6 in Albania
it was a very good experience And great communication with Aldi
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
Hyundai i10 in Albania
it was everything okay!
Skoda Fabia in Albania
Renting a car from Gerald was the best decision! The car was very efficient and handled very well on the demanding Albanian roads. Communication with the rental company was friendly and with clear instructions. The employee who handed over and picked up the car was very nice and friendly. I am delighted with the service and recommend these rental companies to everyone!
