Fiat Panda in Albania
It was not the best rental car and service from the Guy. So yes 🙂 They Lie about everything… The car: Broken airco with 39 degrees, no 5th gear, light Inside is broken, 1 of the 2 wipers that is broken, tub right front mirror falls continu off, rim is maked with waist rips, rim is falling while driving, no range for the radio, if you can tell me this is a normal car and normal service…. And your company text me before that we get not what we want; Fiat Punto instead of the Peugeot 307 we booked… and I allready told them that I needed airco. They told is was managed… The car was dangerous, way too hot and ready to be demolished. That afterwards you had the guts to rent it out. They have 100% never seen the car before. When we want to return the car, the lie to me. It was possible to bring the car back at 02.00 o clock. But in the last moment I had to pat 40 euro. Ridiculus. And the worst, when i don’t want to pay extra money… I was the Mother Fucker, They want to kill me and more… So I run away and I was really scared …
Volkswagen Golf in Albania
The first car was very old and the driver's seat belt and passenger window were broken, but they exchanged it for another car in a few hours and the new one was fine. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
Volkswagen Golf 6 in Albania
Rental company was quite flexible with the pick up and drop off time, but the car’s horn wasn’t working and the left front wheel was making noise whenever it was driven. I made complain about this but nothing was done or said. Even though i opted for maximum(full) insurance, a damage that i didn’t cause was still pinned on me, thankfully i made a full video before driving the car which showed the damage was there before. But asides those i guess it was an okay experience. The rental process was straightfoward and simple on your website. And also the inside of the car was dirty when it was delivered.

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
