I needed a car from 20 to 24 February…

I needed a car from 20 to 24 February to get from the airport to Durres and be able to move around Albania freely. The car was delivered on time, was clean and had a full tank. Unfortunately, the battery died on Sunday, which made it difficult for me to carry out my plans for the rest of my stay. I called the manager to inform him of the problem, and within an hour I received a new, working battery.
I am satisfied with their services and recommend them to everyone.

Super easy! Great experience!

Renting from rentfromlocals was super easy and great! We picked up the car from Tirane Airport and returned it to the same spot. The car was in good condition, and amarildo explained what i needed to get the green card for all the countries we were visiting which I did get from Sigal. All in all it was a great experience, and I would love to rent from this platform again.

As good as it gets

This is how rental should work everywhere: online reservation, final price displayed, on site there we were made aware of all scratches and dents on the car, the whole pick-up process took about 5 minutes, we got free upgrade, drop-off took under 2 minutes, no hassle, no stress. Thank you for the perfect service.
