Many hotels and popular tourist areas also offer car hire services.

You need a valid driving licence held for at least one year, a passport or ID card, a credit card in the driver's name, and your booking voucher.

The minimum age is usually 18, but some companies require drivers to be 23–25 for certain vehicles, especially larger SUVs and premium cars.

Yes, most companies allow one-way hires within Albania for a fee, which varies by distance. Some also permit cross-border travel to neighbouring countries, but this requires advance notice and additional insurance. Always check the policies before booking.

Albania has very few toll roads. The main one is on the motorway between Tirana and Durrës, with minimal cash tolls (Albanian lek). Most roads are free, although conditions can vary from modern motorways to narrow mountain roads.

Prices depend on season, car type, and hire length: economy €15–30/day, compact €20–40/day, saloons/SUVs €40–80/day, and 4WD €50–100/day. Rates can rise by 40–70 % during the peak summer season (June–September). Albania generally offers competitive prices, and booking in advance usually secures better rates.

Most hires include unlimited mileage within Albania, but some budget or local options may have limits. Cross-border travel may have separate mileage rules. Always check the hire terms before booking.

Popular routes include the Albanian Riviera (Saranda, Ksamil, Himara, Dhërmi, Vlorë), UNESCO sites such as Berat, Gjirokastër, and Butrint, Tirana, Shkodër and Lake Shkodër, the Theth and Valbona Valleys, Kruja, Apollonia, the Llogara Pass, Përmet, and the Accursed Mountains. Albania’s compact size makes it easy to explore beaches, mountains, and cultural sites in a short time.
