Citroen C4 in Albania
Last year I used this site and everything went well. This year I was not completely satisfied. The car was supposed to arrive at my hotel at 10am. At 9.55am I received a message that the car would be later. I then received a message that I would get another car and could exchange it later. Almost an hour later the car arrived. We had already driven out and waited for an hour. The car turned out to be very old and not at all like the requested lemon. It was a very old Opel Matiz, the gas tank cap was missing, the rear seat belts were almost broken (not very convenient when you have kids with you). The story was that the lemon had been in an accident on delivery by the last renter and needed repairs. I couldn't wait for that as I was going to be traveling and the nearest hotel was 3 hours away. So we agreed to use this car. Every day it had a warning light come on and it didn't shift well, but otherwise it was fine. When we returned, I was allowed to park the car in designated spots. The company apologized. However, they should have called me immediately and honestly explained the situation. They didn't do that until later. Then I would have understood the situation better too.

Everything was good, everything was smooth and very clear
Peugeot 207cc in Albania
We never received the car we had ordered on the website: it turned out that the car was stalling in first gear, so of course we gave up on a faulty car. After spending 2 hours, having reviewed many options, which were lower class and in worse condition than the car we ordered, we were still offered a good option to replace it. Although the main reason for ordering Peugeot 207cc was because we wanted a convertible. And the replacement was with a normal roof. But the main thing is that it is fully technically working. So my impressions of the lease were mixed, to be honest.
