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.

Hyundai i20 in Albania

We didn't have a good experience with the car we rented. Somebody from your office crashed the car that we rented when he came to pick us up from the airport. After a long wait we got a replacement car. But it turned out that the reverse gear barely functioned. It was really terrible to drive, and was quite dangerous a couple of times. The when we returned the car, the guy there suddenly said we would have to pay for a car wash. It was not discussed beforehand that we would have to return the car completely clean. Normally that is not the standard when renting a car, so this was very strange. We didn't agree with it. Eventually we got our deposit back, but then the guy said that we had to pay a lot of money for the parking ticket, and we should give that to him. Luckily we knew that was a lie, and went to pay the ticket ourselves, which was 300 lek. It was a very unpleasant encounter. All in all I have to say that it was a bad experience, and I would not recommend this company to someone else, unfortunately. Kind regards, Merel

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

Peugeot 208 in Albania

We had booked a Peugeot 208, an automatic car (it wouldn't have been out of place, especially in Albania^^), but we ended up with a manual Citroën C4. Everything went very smoothly, from pick-up at the airport to drop-off at the airport. Regon is a very nice person, very correct. I recommend using Regon to rent a car. Thank you Regon and good luck
