Hello fellow Balkaners,

That's my first post here, my apologies if something is wrong.

I've heard that travelling through Albania as a Romanian with RO plates might be dangerous. I enjoy driving and I was thinking about going to the "Albanian Riviera" at the end of the summer, with my car. So far, I spent my summers on sea side of our Bulgarian brothers and had an amazing experience. Great service, very nice people, but I really like to visit Albania as well. It seems like a very beautiful country as well.

There might be some political tensions, but how the Albanian-Romanian relationship feels in real life, on the street? Is it dangerous to travel from Romania to Albania? Is there any region to avoid?

Hello!
I'm travelling to Lisbon at the end of May and I would like to rent a car to travel around the area, get to the beaches on the west coast, Sintra, Cascais.
I planning this trip for one day as I'm tight on schedule.

Do you have any recommendation of a reliable car rental service in Lisbon (Downtown or Aiport would be fine I guess)? I have done some research and found pros and cons about Klasswagen, Europcar, Centauro and I don't know what to choose.

I want something with full insurance (with no extra fees and deposit) to have a stress free trip. I have an offer from Centauro for about 45euros with a "premium insurance". Is this ok? Do you have any experiences?
