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
Ford Fusion in Albania
Everything went well. Thank you ☺️
Volkswagen Golf 6 in Albania
Rental company was quite flexible with the pick up and drop off time, but the car’s horn wasn’t working and the left front wheel was making noise whenever it was driven. I made complain about this but nothing was done or said. Even though i opted for maximum(full) insurance, a damage that i didn’t cause was still pinned on me, thankfully i made a full video before driving the car which showed the damage was there before. But asides those i guess it was an okay experience. The rental process was straightfoward and simple on your website. And also the inside of the car was dirty when it was delivered.
Audi A4 in Albania
The staff is nice. The checkout was quick and easy. About the car: The car did not match the picture on the internet. Too old. The car was in a dangerous condition. On any hill when starting the car would stall, even though it was an automatic. It was extremely dangerous to drive this car in the city, because if I had to stop at an intersection (on a rise) to let other cars pass, the car I rented would stall. It was very dangerous. But it's fine. Next time I will use your services, but I will ask for a good car and I will check.
Renault Clio 5 in Albania
The car rental was excellent, we were very happy with the person who rented us the car. They were very responsive and helpful
Dacia Sandero in Albania
The owner is great, the car is new and very comfortable, the service is excellent 10/10.
Mercedes-Benz B-Class in Albania
Everything went great. The car we booked was not there, but we were given a better and newer car for the same money. The only downside was that we had to pay extra money for leaving Greece, and this was not mentioned on the website. But these are minor details, otherwise everything went great.
Audi A3 Cabrio in Albania
Car was ready at the airport beforehand there was clear communication on whats app where they were. In the trunk was a jerrycan with water and there was engine oil should there be anything wrong it was handy to have this on hand. Well thought was fortunately not necessary. We had agreed that they would pick up the car from us in Sarande, unfortunately there was no time to meet and we left the keys at the hotel by mutual agreement. Because of this we could not get the deposit back but it was neatly and directly transferred to us. We had great weather in April and touring in a convertible along the coast is then absolutely great.
Audi A6 Avant in Albania
Everything went great )
Toyota Yaris in Albania
everything was Oke :)
Audi A3 in Albania
The experience was not good at all. They gave us an old car, without headlights and full of damage. We took photos of the car but it was difficult because the sun did not allow for clear photos. We do not complain so as not to waste time on our vacation. The worst thing was when we handed it over that they wanted to make us guilty of one of the attacks that we had not committed. Furthermore, a group of 4 boys and 1 girl wanted to force us to pay €350 and they would not return our suitcases (they were inside the car). Finally we were able to enlarge one of the videos we had recorded and we were able to verify that that blow was already there when they gave us the car. The situation was very unpleasant.

Everything was fine:)
Chevrolet Epica in Albania
Unfortunately, the chosen car was not available, but I was provided with a car of the same brand, a different model and an older year of manufacture. Overall everything was ok. My low beam bulb burned out, I replaced both bulbs at my own expense. Unfortunately, there was a convenient mount for a phone in the cabin, so I bought it and left it there. In terms of comfort and handling, the car was of good quality, albeit with a broken suspension, but... I drove on smooth roads, I didn’t feel it. The car was received and returned at the airport, everything was clear, as agreed. I hope that at least once your customers will receive exactly the car they chose on the website. When registering, I recommend that you send your clients by email, along with the voucher, some description of the traffic situation and discipline in the place where the car will be used, recommended car service, gas stations, car washes. This will make the tenant feel a little more confident. Thank you!!!!
