This was a really good experience. This is how it works:
I booked through Rent From Locals and communication was very easy. I actually picked up the car at EuropCar at Tirana Airport, from a Rent From Locals contact. This was the only part was annoying, because we were waiting almost 40 minutes for someone to arrive.
However, once we got to EuropCar, it took 5 minutes. We paid by card, checked over the car, and left. The guys were super nice and stayed in contact. The drop-off in Saranda was also easy. The car was exactly as pictured, immaculate and in perfect condition. We were requested to either get the car washed before return or give the person €10, which is quite reasonable (this is the same price as a car wash but saves time).
I really recommend renting from this person. The overall experience and price were great; good value compared to other car rental companies. Thank you!
