Renting a car is convenient, right outside the airport. This time, I rented for 18 days and could drive in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, and North Macedonia.

Very satisfied. We were given a Volkswagen Taigo with only 900 km on it, almost brand new. It was easy to drive, though a bit underpowered. The car had enough space for two people and two large suitcases. The rear seats could be folded down to connect with the trunk. Europcar provided excellent service. There were no upsell attempts, and they sincerely advised us that we didn't need to pay for additional options. Returning the car was quick—just drop off the keys, and the credit card hold was released immediately. Inside the car, a type-C charging cable is required to charge your phone.

During pickup, the attendant just threw me the keys and left. I had to call him back three times. It was 11 PM, very dark, and the inspection was rushed. It was my first time renting a car and I had no experience. My local SIM card didn't have signal (though it was a VIP card). During return, they even took photos under the vehicle saying there were scratches. There was an old, tiny rusted scratch that they claimed was my fault. If it were indeed my fault, I'd own up to it, but I've been driving for 13 years and would know. Though I'm a female driver, I drive 5000 km annually on rough roads in Yunnan-Guizhou, China. My skills are not bad.

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 price didn't match what was advertised on the website. The site mentioned a charge of 4.8 euros per day for crossing the border. We only needed the car for two days in Montenegro but were told to pay a maximum charge of 48 euros for ten days (even though we were renting the car for only eight days). The reason given was that they couldn't know how many days we would be abroad, despite entry and exit records clearly showing this. It felt like an overcharge.
