Good maintained car
Good maintained car. Only downside is there might be delay of 1 hr in getting the car with the booked time. A 10 euro charge for washing and cleaning is payable during return. If returning at Tirana Airport keep the Airport parking entry receipt you get at the barrier which is to be handed over to the Goldcabs team (else pay 20 euros). We booked medium suv for 4 days.

Experience good in Albania
The experience was good. The vehicle was a new car—a top-of-the-line, automatic Opel Grandland that ran perfectly. It made the trip very pleasant, which is saying a lot for a country with such chaotic driving conditions. The seller was very approachable and attentive from the very first contact. I recommend getting comprehensive insurance.

Everything was simple and fast
Everything was simple and fast, the car was also neat, no unnecessary requirements were made. I only have one remark, there was no address or name on the contract, so I had to look for a parking space for a long time, everything is based on WhatsApp, which is not convenient for all customers, especially those who do not speak English. Everything else was great.
