I clearly stated before departure that I needed to cross into Albania, but Hertz did not respond that it was not allowed. I was only informed on the day of pickup, which seriously affected my trip.
There was a watermark on the passenger seat, which they claimed was caused by us. Before taking the car, we only took photos of the exterior due to our trust in the rental platform and did not photograph the interior. I believe many people wouldn't think to photograph the interior. When we returned the car, we randomly asked a few other customers, and none of them had photographed the interior either. We didn't know about the watermark until the return inspection. If we had caused it, we would have dealt with it before returning the car. Since we didn't photograph the interior before renting (and the rental company also had no evidence that the watermark wasn't already there), we were charged 90 euros. Initially, an employee asked for 140 euros, but after arguing, another person reduced it to 90 euros. As we were rushing to catch a flight, we had no choice but to pay.

The attitude was great, very enthusiastic. The vehicle was new with only 7,000 kilometers driven. Strong power. Very good, I will rent from this company again next time.
Booked a Range Rover but received a smaller Range Rover Evoque. Couldn’t fit our luggage. Rental fee was unchanged, and no alternative provided after negotiation with your company. Therefore, giving a negative review!
When we arrived at the airport, the staff informed us that the V class vehicle we reserved was under repair. They gave us a Vito to use temporarily and said we could switch vehicles the next afternoon. We agreed but received no email or phone call the next day, so we went to the airport ourselves to inquire. After waiting half an hour, we were told there was no progress and to call back after 8 PM. We called in the evening, and they told us to call again at 8:30 AM the next day. In the morning, they said the car might be ready, but we needed to leave for another city. When we returned to the airport at 10 AM, they told us the car was still not ready. We asked to keep the current car and discuss any price difference later, but they refused as the car was reserved for someone else. This issue delayed us for over an hour. The female staff member was very rude and did not provide any solution, saying her responsibility was just to rent cars and that she had no information about our vehicle. She gave us a reservation center number, which was also unhelpful. The staff's attitude was discriminatory, treating us differently from white customers, and their problem-solving efficiency was zero. After almost three hours, they finally allowed us to take the Vito, but our entire morning was wasted, causing delays in our schedule. The staff showed no remorse. I was very angry and argued with her, but she claimed it wasn't her problem, reiterating that she only handled rentals. We took photos and recorded the entire interaction, then sent a complaint email to Europcar. The reply offered a waiver of the cross-border fee and a full tank of gas. However, when returning the car, the staff blamed us for pre-existing damage without providing before-and-after photos, seemingly trying to offset the fuel compensation. Since we were originally told this car was only for one day's use, we didn't rigorously check or photograph it for evidence. I strongly advise everyone to thoroughly inspect and document cars rented from Europcar. Their return process is very slow and cumbersome, so make sure you allow extra time. It's best to avoid Europcar if possible, as they waste time and cause frustration.
The staff at the outdoor pick-up location seemed a bit inattentive. During my first pick-up, they forgot to give me the vehicle registration. When I returned to the airport, they claimed I lost it and asked me to pay a 186 euro fee for the loss. As it was impossible to determine who was at fault, I had to pay the fee. They then gave me a replacement car and claimed they had already given me the keys, but later I found out the keys were still with the same staff member. Overall, the staff at the pick-up location were subpar, making it an unpleasant car rental experience.
The car rental company's counter was easy to find, the staff were friendly and provided detailed information, but there were a lot of people so we had to wait quite a while. After completing the paperwork and payment, we went to the parking lot to find a staff member in a green uniform who pointed out any existing damage on the vehicle before we signed off. You need to return the car with a full tank of gas, otherwise there will be additional charges. However, we were very dissatisfied with this car; the engine noise was unbelievably loud. Driving at around 20 mph, it sounded like driving over 100 in my own car, even with all the windows closed. Serbian drivers are very fast, so we naturally tended to accelerate, and at over 100 mph, the noise was unbearable. This was an extremely bad experience.
We arrived quite late, and the car rental website gave us the wrong model, so our luggage couldn't fit. Eurocar insisted that it wasn't their fault and wanted us to take the wrong car. Later, after a staff change, their attitude improved and we paid extra to change the car.
The wait times for picking up and returning the car were very short, almost no waiting. The staff were very friendly and patient, even if they weren't fluent in English.
