Public transportation in Tirana is limited and not always reliable. Therefore, it is best to rent a car when visiting this delightful city. When you rent a car, you’ll also have the freedom to visit all of the city’s sights like the Pyramid of Tirana or Skanderbeg Square. A city known for its nightlife, Tirana tourists who have a hire car will find it easy to visit its lively clubs and bars after hours.
Tirana International Airport is the most prominent airport in Albania. It is a relatively large airport with a number of amenities for travelers including on-site hire car agencies. Some companies with offices in the airport include Europcar, Sixt, and Enterprise.
To drive in Tirana you will need an international driver’s license. When traveling on the highways in Tirana, it will be a smooth ride. However, residential streets and roads are often in poor condition and in need of repair. Dangerous snowy and icy roads are also possible in the winter season. As long as you drive with caution, however, there should be no problems.
Tirana is the largest city in Albania, so it can get very busy with lots of traffic during the rush hour (typically from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.). This is especially true in Central Tirana around Skanderbeg Square and the business district. Pedestrians and cyclists also add to the congestion and traffic jams in Tirana.
If you’re thinking of picking up a cheap car hire in Tirana off the cuff, there are a few areas in the city where you can do so. Enterprise, Sicily by Car and Autovia are among a dozen or so large and small providers located in the vicinity of Skanderbeg Square and the National Historical Museum in the city centre. Likewise, the Blloku neighbourhood around Air Albania Stadium to the south has a scatter of provider offices with Surprice Car Rental, SIXT and Budget among them.
Drivers over 21 years old are eligible to get a Tirana car hire, but those below 25 years of age can be hit with young driver fees by many of the larger providers. If you’re age 70 or over you should enquire whether any senior fees may apply. We recommend UK residents travelling by air should book a vehicle in advance at the Tirana Airport car hire centre, as there are limited public transport options to the city centre. Regardless of the location you choose you’ll need your passport and return ticket, as well as an additional form of picture-ID.
If you want to get the most from your driving experiences in Tirana browsing available options like sat-nav systems, child seats and winter tyres are extremely useful for ensuring safety and decreasing the chances you get lost on the road. Tirana is also within driving range of four Balkan countries, so enquire whether you need a cross-border policy to take your Tirana car hire into any of them. Also check if any providers offer Two-Way Rental policies so you can have the luxury of leaving the vehicle at another location if necessary.

Economy hire cars in Tirana are around 71% cheaper than other car types, on average

What type of car is recommended for driving in Tirana?
You can rent any vehicle that suits you in Tirana. However, you’ll definitely want a car that can handle road problems like potholes while still providing you a smooth and bumpy-free ride. This might include a luxury sedan or mid-size SUV.
What’s the speed limit in Tirana?
When driving on the freeway of Tirana, you’ll be allowed to drive up to 68 mph (110 km/h). City highways and main streets, however, allow for speeds of 49 to 55 mph (80-90 km/h). When in residential areas or close to grocery stores and other shopping districts, speed limits average at 40 km/h (25 mph).
Where are the best places to park in Tirana?
Large hotels in downtown Tirana often offer free parking to their guests. If you don’t have the benefit of included parking, you can choose to park in one of the ground or underground parking lots. One such lot is located at Tirana Business Park on Rinas Road. A couple of the hotels, including the Sheraton hotel, also offer paid parking to non-guests. Street parking, although hard to find, is sometimes available around popular tourist attractions like the National Museum and Toptani Shopping Center.

What to know about driving a car hire in Tirana?
Only use a hands-free mobile when operating the vehicle and confirm all passengers are wearing seat belts as required by law. Bear in mind the BAC level in Albania is (0.01) compared to the UK level (0.08); therefore, never drink and drive or operate a cheap car hire in Tirana under the influence of medication or drugs. If you or a fellow passenger experiences an emergency on the road, dial 112 for assistance.
What is one road trip I can take from Tirana?
If you can secure permission to take a Tirana car hire across the border to Greece, the road trip from there to Thessaloniki is definitely worth the time. The route travels more than 400 km along the A3/E852 through Elbasan and Prespa National Park in the southeast, which marks the boundary line between the countries.

When we drop the car off at Podgorica Montenegro, there was no one there. We had to leave it in the regular lot and figure out how to get the keys into the little station of budget Avis. then I had to call to make sure they got the keys and found the car, but the guy talked to was nice and he took care of everything

To be honest, I don’t know if anyone read these comments but you ask for comments I will give you some : First, at Tirana the place was hard to find. The car was damaged but I don’t care. What annoyed me the most is that strategy for the car rental to tried to sell you all the insurances you don’t need …. When I got there the guy first tell me that because I was leaving the car in Sarande, I had an extra 200 euros to pay…. He then realized that everything was already paid so he could not charge me any extra……. So he told me that I had to give a deposit of 1000 euros to cover future damage ( it is more than usual but fair enough, I said go ) but « magically » my Visa card ( which is a AAA ELITE) was not working… he tried 3 times but not working …. Not giving up, I called Visa, Visa confirm that all was ok, my card just had been used 15 minutes ago…. visa did confirm that the problem was the terminal …. So, I was kind of stuck because the car was paid and he didn’t want to cancelled the transaction…. He suddenly came with the » great idea » saying « give me 140 Euros for insurance and I let you go…. » So that was the story, I got screwed for 140 euros …. I need to specify that the guy in Sarande was a real gentleman, top of the art, speaking 5 languages. All the differences ! Louis

Economy estate car

Terrible experience. They will scam you with insurance options that are basically pre-paying for damage. Other option is a $1200 deposit that you will have to fight to get back. Dirty, old and tired vehicles. Our’s had no windshield wiper fluid, was missing one wiper blade, tire pressure monitoring problems, terribly squeaky brakes and was given to us 3/8 full of diesel at 10:00 pm. Pay the e tea money upfront and rent from a reputable company.

They tried to be nice but at the end what they offered did not meet our expectations, we couldn't fit the 5 people we needed and manifested to them initially, the car was too small and was not an SUV . Also the online price went from 150 EUR to 350 EUR for a car for 5 people. They couldn't find the kayak reservation we made online and did not respect the reservation price.
