Chevrolet Captiva in Albania
The site itself is convenient, but does not contain complete information about the condition of the rented car. It starts for 10-15 minutes (either the battery is old or the spark plugs need to be cleaned). Hollowed steering rack. I have no complaints about the site. I was very disappointed with the condition of the car, and had trouble.
Ford Fusion in Albania

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 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
