Dacia Sandero Stepway in Albania

Do not recommend this company. Very bad experience. We arrived at the airport, but nobody was there to meet us, even though pickup was supposed to be included. I had to call them several times — they didn’t answer right away. When they finally did, they told us to walk with our luggage somewhere outside the airport and wait on the street. We waited about 30 minutes before someone showed up. When they finally picked us up, they said the car we had booked (a Dacia crossover) was not available. Instead, they offered a Fiat Tipo — not a crossover, but a regular sedan. They claimed it was “even better,” but it clearly wasn’t. There were no other options — either take it or get nothing. When returning the car, they accused us of not taking photos of some minor damage that we hadn’t even noticed when picking up the car. We had full insurance, yet they still tried to charge us extra for it. They also tried to make us pay for interior cleaning, even though it was already included in the price. The staff were rude, unhelpful, and tried to blame us for everything. It felt like they were constantly looking for ways to charge more money. Avoid this company at all costs. Terrible service and attitude.
