Worry free driving in older cars.
We were so happy to find this company for our 2 week roadtrip around the balkans, as we wanted to rent an older car.
Balkan roads are often narrow and full of pot holes and we didn't want to sit in a new car feeling worried every minute of the trip.
We got an old 4x4 and it was perfect for the trip, except for a bust tyre. (No problem in getting the money back for the tyre at drop off.)
Cheap rental, easy pick up, drop off went very quickly, and the conditions were good. We could filter for cars that would allow us to cross borders. Very useful!
Only things I didn't like is that you had to return the car cleaned and with the same level fuel, but those are minor details.
Would love to have this company all over Europe!

Excellent service
Excellent service. Nice and smooth. The car was in good condition. The pick up and drop was hassle free. We had taken full insurance, so they returned our holding deposit even before my trip had ended. Overall we paid very less for 1 week (£130)

The rental concept redefined
The rental concept redefined. Especially in, let's say more close-driving, everywhere-parking countries I don't want a new shiny thing that will pull scratches. I want a trusty car, with an added bonus of looking like a local. That's what I expected and exactly what I got!
The system is good, the whatsapp communication efficient and overall the process is nice.

Amazing service much cheaper than competitors !
Everything was perfect and properly communicated. My and my girlfriend rented a car for 15 days in Albania (passing through Montenegro as well). Our renting agency helped us for whatever we needed and the communication has been flawless

so much better than expected!
I am not very experienced in car renting - the few times I did i had very unpleasant situations with hidden fees, small disclaimers and overall sneakiness. Until I decided to go with rent from locals, as recommended by a colleague. And - whew! It's so easy, human, friendly. You guys have taken care of me like I was a VIP, answered all the questions, made fantastic recommendations for the trip (thanks again!) and overall made this previously stressful errand so easy. Wish it worked like that everywhere. Thanks!
Also, the drive in the car was sooo smooth! I would give you 6 stars if it was possible ;)
