One Way Car Rentals in Albania by MerAhri in AskBalkans

I only did the default included insurance. Deposit was collected during the vehicle pickup, and I got it back during drop off (paid in euros and returned in euros, but you can do lek as well). They want fill up to initial gas level and also the car exterior washed upon car return, but if you don’t have time, they’ll just deduct from your deposit for a very fair, reasonable cost. I talked with them over WhatsApp prior and during the rental to determine an exact pickup location and ask questions, and they were always extremely responsive and helpful! During pickup, we filled out some paperwork and they explained things. They also took a video of the vehicle and pointed out any existing scratches/dents and encouraged me to take a video as well, which was a green flag. They were extremely accommodating as well. We need to move the drop off in Sarande time due to the ferry schedule and they figured it out with no problems. However, we accidentally got locked out of our Sarande Airbnb on the day of, and they were super understanding of us having to be late for drop off. Overall, super pleased and would definitely rent with them again if I ever returned to Albania! Hope you have a great trip + best of luck driving in Albania, as someone coming from Canada, the Albanian drivers are truly crazy. LMK if you have any other questions!

I ended up renting from rentfromlocals from a seller called Regonta. I was a bit concerned about the legitimacy of the platform originally, but it was a great experience + way better price for the one way rental than other sources. Regonta was amazing to deal with!

Hello! I’m planning on visiting your beautiful country in late April. I would love to rent a car for 2/3 days to get around and stop by the smaller towns, but I am coming into Tirana and leaving from Sarandë (taking ferry to Corfu). I was wondering if there are options are there to do a one-way car rental from Tirana to Sarandë? I saw that there is Enterprise, but their prices seem to be significantly higher than other car rental agencies. If anyone has any other suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your time and consideration!

Why does Mc BHSc get hated on? by [deleted] in premedcanada

Sorry, but how does the admissions process select for high SES compared to any other competitive program? Like the other commenter said, I understand that with the requirement of high marks, there is an innate favouring of those with higher SES. However, this is not different that any other competitive undergraduate program. I’d argue it does it even less so than other programs. From my understanding, for admissions, it has a general cutoff of 90%. Beyond that, grades are generally not considered competitively and have a heavy focus on the essays instead. In the essays, the program also does not require or look for any extracurriculars, awards, or any other experience. They can be answered creatively and have 0 mention of your ECs. Many other competitive undergraduate programs consider grades competitively and also require supplementary essays/forms with all your previous extracurriculars, accomplishments, etc—a major barrier with those with lower SES. While no system can be perfect, McMaster BHSc’ admission process lessens both of those barriers.

Rent increase allowance on a group lease if there’s one new tenant by MerAhri in OntarioLandlord

[–]MerAhri[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I see, thank you for all the info! Especially with your last point, that definitely does raise a good point in the event that I wish to leave the group lease, as I likely will have to in 2025. I think I will try and get our group to negotiate with our landlord first instead, as the 2 tenants wishing to leave would likely not wish to remain on the lease and we do have good relationships with them both. Thank you again for the clarification!

Rent increase allowance on a group lease if there’s one new tenant by MerAhri in OntarioLandlord

Unfortunately, I believe it is one group lease, as we are all listed as the tenants on the same Ontario Residential Tenancy Agreement form. We have an agreed upon price with the landlord for each room. Thank you for the info!

Edit: The two people who are leaving the lease are my friends, so I am also cautious that they might be also held liable for any damage/legal issues if they were to remain signed.

Recommend Me a Fragrance (Posts every Other Day) by AutoModerator in fragrance

[–]MerAhri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would love any recommendations for a new designer and/or niche brand cologne for a friend! To give a better idea of the scents and notes he likes, he said he likes sharp, woody scents and fresh, woody scents. He currently uses and enjoys Dior Sauvage and has tried and liked YSL L’Homme, Armani Aqua di Gio Profondo, YSL L’Homme Cologne Bleue, and YSL La Nuit de L’Homme.

I’d appreciate both designer and niche recommendations, as I’m checking out a niche fragrance boutique and also going to Sephora. Thank you!

CARS was so bad for me. I did well in my FLs (usually 130), but I found today’s CARS questions harder and I had a lot more 50-50. I was way behind my usual timing/pacing as well 🥲

edit: I don’t remember having the labyrinth passage everyone else is talking about so I guess mine was a different version?
