Volkswagen Golf 6 in Albania
Upfront I had contact with the supplier and he gave me the choice to switch to a Mercedes (no surcharge). Everything went well, communication was good and the car was good as well. Next time I will rent it via your website again!
Mercedes-Benz C180 in Albania
It was good
Fiat Punto in Albania
It was all good! Good service Thanks!
Audi A3 in Albania
A3 was not in a good shape and very dirty. We decided to upgrade for a passat CC for a 25€/day extra. The car drove us well but had serious electronic/sensors issues which made us feel a bit axious during the trip. The car rental guys were very nice though. I took this pic while driving. I sometimes had all the alerts turned on and the speedometer/RPM not working while driving. Very scary. But the rental guy told me it was "normal" so i kept on going and the car appeared to be ok all the way (around 900km).
Hyundai i20 in Albania
We had no problem with the car, actually we were very satisfied. We got in touch with the local company before arriving to Albania and agreed on everything. The employees of the company were helpful and ready to help us, adjust to our requests. They even brought the car to a slightly different place (20 min drive) The car was in the end Kia Stonic (the same group as Hyundai i20) but they informed me about the change in due course and it was a new car, automat as in the contract and was ideal for the roads there
Volkswagen Jetta in Albania
We rented a Volkswagen Jetta for 11 days. We drove all over the country and enjoyed every minute of the trip (over 1500 km!). The car was great and the service from the company was outstanding! Delivery and pickup was great, and they even let us borrow the car for an extra few hours in the evening to help us cook dinner, which was too far to walk on our last night. Communication was mainly via WhatsApp and was always very clear and prompt, even in the late evening hours. If we ever visit Albania again, we will definitely rent a car again and will definitely recommend this company to everyone. People like this make you feel truly welcome in this country. Thank you!
Ford Focus in Albania
Everything went great, the car was clean and in good conditions. They were waiting for us at the airport when we arrived and they drove us back to the terminal when we came back to tirana
Audi A3 in Albania
They changed a few things like finally the car was a Volkswagen Polo, they picked us up from the airport but didn't deliver the car until the day after... but the communication with Aldi was excellent and also we used a lot of petrol and very little and they refunded us the remaining money, I thought that was a wonderful action on their part that made us recommend them 100% without any doubt. We ended up very happy. Thank you very much!
