Unlock the real Albania

Tirana Airport is the perfect starting point for exploring Albania's rich history and diverse landscapes.

What is the best time of year to explore Tirana by car?

Essential Tips for Driving in Albania

Most primary roads in Albania are toll-free, though a toll applies on the A1 highway. We recommend checking local signage and your rental documentation for specific traffic laws, such as speed limits and headlight requirements. To ensure a smooth journey, it is best to stick to primary, paved roads. All specific details regarding your rental and the provider's rules will be found in your car rental terms and conditions.
