Rent From Locals: Car Rental in Albania & Greece Reviews 

Everything was great - we even got a fast and efficient help when we got a flat tire in the middle of the night. Overall a great experience, would recommend 👍

Everything great

Was easy and faster to rent a car verder nice People and good service

Owner was helpfull and price was lower than the other companies around the airport.

I cannot recommend this platform based on my experience.

I booked an Audi A3, but when I arrived I was given a very old Toyota Auris instead. This was not an equivalent replacement in terms of comfort, quality or driving experience.

The vehicle had over 350,000 km, worn-out suspension, a noisy undercarriage, multiple dents and accident damage, and torn interior upholstery. It felt like a car that had reached the end of its service life rather than a rental vehicle. I was traveling with my daughter, and this was extremely disappointing.

I accepted the replacement only because I had just arrived in a foreign country and had no realistic alternative. Advertising one vehicle and providing something completely different and in such poor condition is misleading.

To make matters worse, instead of addressing these issues professionally, the owner responded by attacking my character with insulting comments rather than discussing the facts.

My advice to future customers is simple: make sure you receive exactly the vehicle you booked, and inspect it very carefully before accepting the keys.

Picking up the car at the airport was easy. This was not the case for other tourists we saw, who faced discrepancies regarding the type of vehicle offered. The agent was very responsive. He was highly helpful and allowed us to optimize our vacation thanks to his advice.I highly recommend this group of agencies given the services they offer and the related rates. However, it is prudent to reserve the vehicle with the minimum down payment and to be firm and very vigilant during pickup.

Super recommended application if you want to rent a car in Albania. Reliable, precise tips and prices that are more than affordable. The machine was as described and the modest deposit required at the end of the rental and has been regularly replaced. Great deals especially that included full insurance!!!
If I return to Albania I will reuse this App.

No problem with the car, very kind and helpful, easy communication

We were given a different car than the one we had booked (in my opinion, a worse one). The car wasn’t completely clean, the rear-view mirror was broken, and it was impossible to see through the rear window. Throughout the entire rental period, the check engine light was on, and occasionally the exhaust warning light also came on.

On the other hand, the rental company responded fairly quickly to our messages, and in the end everything was resolved without any major issues.

Great experience with these people from Rent From Locals! They were always gentle and kind. The car service was fine, their attention were warm and friendly. I should highlight the transparency, the quick and efficient communication with them in every moment we need. They make things easier.

All went well. Pick-up of the car near the airport (walking distance). Took a while for the car to arrive at the pick-up place as it was delivered there right after a drop-off in another city and traffic was bad. Handover of the car was very smooth and uncomplicated. 12V outlet was not working, charging mobile phone was only possible after replacing the respective fuse. At the end of the rental period, the owner came to pick-up the car near the hotel and it was not a problem to extend the rental for a couple of hours as we came back a bit later than anticipated.

Everything was simple!

Everything went perfectly with ZIRI-rent a car. Communication via WhatsApp was simple and smooth. We received a really friendly welcome, complete with a bottle of cold water! Our car was a Skoda Rapid in perfect condition that served us brilliantly (even in the mountains—and there are plenty of mountains in Albania!). Returning the vehicle in the middle of the night was hassle-free; they even drove us to the terminal in the car, which hadn't been part of the original plan. All this for a more-than-reasonable price (€310 for 10 days). Truly nothing to complain about—thank you very much!

Very good option for car rental

Flexable. Keen to help.

all good. two cars rented

everything is absolutely fine, I highly recommend it

really appreciated how easy it was to get in touch and make the booking, especially since this was my first trip to Albania. The wide range of available offers allowed me to choose a vehicle based on my own criteria regarding price and brand. Once I arrived, the entire process—from picking up the car to returning it—went very smoothly, and the service provider was proactive and highly responsive.

Best price, great service!

We went for renting via Rent from Locals because we wanted to be able to drive off road and also an automatic transmission for easy driving. It’s a great platform with a lot of different cars to choose from. We went for a car with full insurance for a peace of mind during a 2 week trip trough all of Albania. All communication went good and questions were answered quick. Would really recommend this company/platform.
