How to rent a car at Tirana Airport for a day
Car Rental Tirana Airport is a convenient and flexible way to explore Albania at your own pace. Whether you're planning a day trip to the mountains or just want to get to your hotel, renting a car will give you maximum freedom of movement.
What should you know for a successful car hire?
First of all, use specialised websites to search for a car and compare offers from different car rental companies in Albania. Check out the websites of rental companies that provide services directly at Tirana Airport.
A great option for visitors to the Albanian capital is to rent a car on roscar.al, where you can rent a car on favourable terms. There are cars of the following brands available:
Chevrolet;
Ford;
Volkswagen;
Skoda;
Mazda, etc.
After confirming your booking, you will receive a message about the car you have rented, its location and further terms of cooperation with the agency. Upon arrival in Tirana, when you meet with the agency representatives, you must have a passport, an international driving licence and a credit card.
Before signing the contract, carefully inspect the car for any damage and record it in the protocol. As a rule, you pay for the rental by credit card, but some companies (including Albania Roscar) can accept cash.
When using the car, follow the return conditions specified in the contract. Return the car with the tank filled to the same level as when you received it.
Useful tips for those travelling in Albania by car
Albania is a wonderful country for road trips: with picturesque landscapes, hospitable people and a rich history. However, as in any other country, there are some nuances to consider.
So, book a car in advance, especially during the season, and compare offers from different companies. Be sure to check what types of insurance are included in the rental price. Always have your international driving licence, passport and credit card with you. Make a detailed itinerary, taking into account the distances, roads and places you want to visit.
Download offline maps or use a GPS device as the internet in Albania is quite unstable. Familiarise yourself with the basic rules of the road in Albania, as they may be different from what you are used to. Always have a small supply of fuel if you plan to travel outside the capital, as there are quite large stretches of road without petrol stations.
Have some cash with you, as you won't be able to pay with your card everywhere. It is better to exchange currency in advance, in your country, because exchange rates at banks, airports, train and bus stations will be extremely unfavourable for tourists.
Be prepared for the fact that the driving style of locals may differ from what you are used to. Be careful and avoid making sudden manoeuvres. In addition, small animals can be found on the roads in rural areas. Be careful, especially at night.
