The car came back clean but the 5 euro cleaning fee was still taken, the key didn't work remotely. The rest of experience was pretty good.

Great website to find local cars to…
Great website to find local cars to rent. We wanted an old german sedan for our trip, as it seemed it would fit great into the albanian vibe. Everything went very well, communication with the owner was great, pick-up and drop-off was quick, definitely will use again!

Hire from these guys- they're the best!
Super smooth process from beginning to end, and great price! After checking out reviews for car hire in Albania, I was worried that so many of the big firms seemed to be scams/took a loads of money. I found some good reviews for Rent from Locals and I am SO glad I went with them. So cheap to rent for a month with a small deposit required, comms through whatsapp and my car was dropped off straight away. Simple contract, no hard sell of any extras whatsoever and great comm. throughout. No surprise costs at end, he just checked over the car. Would highly recommend and absolutely going to use them again!

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.
