Toyota Rav4 in Albania

The organization of the meeting and return went without problems. However, the return to the airport was complicated by the breakdown of the VSC system, the engine stalled several times during the remaining 150 kilometers. After driving a few kilometers, of course, the car did too. I had warned in advance that the RAV4 had leaks, including from the axle, as well as increased oil consumption in the engine, requiring refilling for 13 days. Upon returning to the airport we went for service. Nothing else and your staff were in touch. Best wishes.

Volkswagen Jetta in Albania

The car was not the one we booked. We were waiting for a car 18 years, received 10 years. After refueling the car to full, while driving the fuel leaked out leaving a smell in the cabin, as well as a wet track on the road.

Opel Corsa in Albania

We rented an Opel Corsa. But they replaced the car with a 2013 VW Golf, arguing that the Opel was defective. We asked to be picked up at the airport with a sign, but it did not happen. We asked for help from the locals. People called the owner of the car, as we had no connection and no internet in Albania. On had to go outside the airport with suitcases and two children. When we arrived at the office, the manager insistently asked for additional insurance, arguing that in case of any scratch and breakage we would pay a fine. In the end we paid another 220 € for the insurance. In general, the Golf was not bad, but we expected a completely different car. The car was returned without any problems, the manager did an inspection and drove us to the airport.

Volkswagen Touareg in Albania

The owner of the rental car was very friendly, helpful and patient, not only when picking up and returning, but if there were any questions, they were so kind to help you as best they could. They shared all the information in advance and what could have been a good favor on your part from takecars was to arrange the contract in advance, especially in case all the insurance and everything else was paid in advance. The car was very reliable and did what was expected, giving us a safe and beautiful trip around Albania.

Volkswagen Polo in Albania

First of all, it was not a WW POLO, but a FORD FIESTA. Except for the fact that the car got locked with the keys four hours away from Tirana (I was in Xamil 😅 ), everything else went pretty well. I'm still waiting for the 100 euro deposit I put in when renting.

Peugeot 308 SW in Albania

The Peugeot 308 was damaged from all sides, the front window was broken and the engine was running in the emergency mode. We've got another car after we complained (Skoda Fabia). This car was a little bit better but not worth the money.
