KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Tirana

  • 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.
  • Book your rental car in Tirana at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Compact rental cars in Tirana are around 29% cheaper than other car types, on average

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

Vehicle had no gas at pick up, the red warning light was on so had to stop and fill it out at the closest gas station. The vehicle should be cleaned prior of renting it. The teller's service was great at pick up, great was also the convenience of getting it and dropping it next to the airport. Budget should consider having a green card, insurance card and the extra fee they charge to go and drive to the neighboring countries included in the price. As a tourist that doesn't know the area, should have all included in the price.

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

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.

On pickup car had no gas, low tire pressure light was on, and car covered in dents and scratches. When we returned, they claimed one scratch was new and would cost $700 to repair, then they said we could go if we agreed to pay $350. Clearly a scam they regularly run, as two employees coordinated over the phone and at the office acting like the person not there was the boss and their hands were tied but it was the same two guys.
