Ford C-Max in Albania

The truth is that it was not the best of sensations...to begin with, I seem to remember that we chose the Full-full fuel option and they delivered it to us with only a few km and to return we had to adjust the quantity; It also had a bad reverse gear and it was very difficult to put it in, which was not very safe and then we did not know that they managed private vehicles. For the rest, they tried to make the management as good as possible and after other difficulties in understanding each other, everything was arranged well. Overall good, but I would like more transparency from the beginning... Thank you.

Nissan Micra in Albania

They met us in accordance with the arrangements at the airport, drove us to the office without any problems, processed the documents. They also helped us with refueling the car and there were no problems with returning the car at the appointed place and returning the deposit Now about the car itself, although I realize that this is probably the cheapest offer on the market and I have no claims, but in general. The car is burning a bunch of errors, the bumper was not fixed properly (fixed it myself when it began to sail strongly in the road and make an unpleasant sound). At one of the parking lots the ulems from the battery came off, the car stopped starting. There was a problem with the hood closing. And probably the most important thing - the car can be normally traveled on normal roads. We drove from Vlora to Saranda on a road that goes uphill - the car just wouldn't go. The speed uphill is 5-10 km per hour. It was a little bit exciting. But then again, as it stands, so it goes)

Fiat 500 Cabrio in Albania

From the first day we got it, there were already three lights on the dashboard. We texted the guy who gave us the car, and he said it’s fine and everything’s okay. But soon after, the car started making weird cracking noises all the time. The engine was super heavy, then a fourth light came on. It was driving terribly the brakes barely worked, the engine was screaming like crazy, and it really felt like it could die any moment. We were honestly scared to drive it anywhere. Because of that, we missed a whole good day in Albania we didn’t even go to Ksamil as we had planned, we just stayed in Saranda. We left the car parked for one day, hoping maybe it would get better, but it didn’t. We only drove to the supermarket the next day to check if anything changed it was still the same. Then in the evening the owner brought us another car from Tirana (thank god!). But he still charged us for that day, even though we barely used the car at all. It didn’t feel fair, since the car was already in bad condition from the start. Also, the driver’s door didn’t open properly it was always stuck. Honestly, that cabriolet was just a disaster 😅
