Pristina car hires from £19/day

Your choice of car hire in Pristina once again depends on the time of year that you’re visiting the city. During the summer months you can hire a saloon or, if you’re going to be spending most of your time in the centre of the city, a compact model for dealing with the traffic. In winter, it’s a case of having as much grip on the roads as you can, in which case you should preferably opt for a four-wheel drive or at least a 2x4. Look for an SUV, and also check with your car hire operator whether snow chains are included or not.

The speed limits in Pristina are determined by the density of housing, so in inhabited zones you’re limited to 50km/h (roughly 30mph). On roads outside of the areas that aren’t motorways, you can travel at 80km/h (about 50mph). On the motorways you’ll have some zones that are set at 110km/h (around 68mph) and others at 130km/h (roughly 80mph).

Your other concern with car hire in Pristina will be parking. Rest assured that there are plenty of parking lots and car parks, most of which are free for the first 30min.
