Yes — always. Walk around the car with the pickup agent, note any existing scratches, dents, wheel damage or interior marks on the handover form, and take a 360° video plus close-up photos with the timestamp visible. This protects you from being charged for pre-existing damage at return. The same applies at drop-off.

Yes. Third-Party Liability (TPL) — which covers damage you cause to other vehicles and people — is included on virtually every car. Most cars also include Full Damage Waiver (FDW — zero excess) free, and a share of the fleet additionally includes Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), Super CDW, Theft Protection (TP) and young-driver coverage free. The exact bundle for each car is listed on the car card.

Typically from around EUR 100 for economy cars up to EUR 800–1,500 for SUVs and premium. A meaningful share of the catalogue — roughly a third to nearly half — is offered with no deposit at all. Look for the 'No Deposit' badge on the car card or filter by it in search.

21 years old with at least 1 year of driving experience for economy and standard cars; 23+ with 2+ years for SUVs and larger cars; 25+ with 3+ years for premium. A young-driver fee may apply on about a quarter of the catalogue — the exact surcharge (if any) is shown on the car card.

A passport with a valid Albania entry stamp, your national driving licence and — for some licence types — an International Driving Permit (IDP). Originals are required at pickup; photos on a phone aren't accepted.

If your national licence is in Latin script — from EU, UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and similar countries — you can rent on the national licence alone. If your licence is in Cyrillic (RU, KZ, BY, UA, UZ and most CIS) or another non-Latin script, an IDP is required; without one, most providers refuse pickup.

Yes, automatics are the majority in our Albania catalogue — so unlike some other coastal markets, automatic availability isn't a scarce resource here. You can filter by 'Automatic transmission' in search to see only those. Entry-tier economy is still mostly manual, so if you want both automatic and the lowest price, book a few weeks in advance.

Entry-level economy cars start from as little as EUR 11/day — Albania is one of the cheapest countries in Europe for car rental. The typical rate across the catalogue is around EUR 35–40/day. Premium SUVs run roughly EUR 80–150/day, and the top of the catalogue reaches EUR 200+/day. Peak summer (July–August) sees a modest price bump; May and September are the best-value shoulder seasons.

Yes — a large majority of our Albania catalogue supports cross-border travel to neighbouring Balkan countries: Montenegro (via Hani i Hotit / Shkodër), Kosovo (via Morinë), North Macedonia (via Qafë Thanë) and Greece (via Kakavia / Kapshticë). Cars supporting cross-border often also reach Croatia, Slovenia and beyond via Montenegro transit. Filter cars by 'Cross-border allowed' and specify destination countries at checkout — the provider arranges the No Objection Certificate (NOC) and extended insurance, usually for a small fee (around EUR 20 per border).

Yes. The Albania catalogue includes cars that accept cash, a debit card or a credit card for the deposit, plus cars that require no deposit at all. Use the 'Payment method' filter or open the 'Deposit' block on each car card to see which methods are accepted for that specific car.

Most providers in our Albania catalogue hold the deposit in EUR (the amount on the car card is usually in EUR). USD is accepted by some; LEK (Albanian Lek) is less common but possible. For card blocks, your bank converts at its own rate. Cash deposits (where supported) are typically accepted in EUR or USD — LEK also works but carry EUR/USD as a safer default.

It happens. Traffic police are more active on tourist-heavy coastal roads (SH7/SH8) and around Tirana, and rental plates get extra attention. On-spot fines for minor infractions can reach 5,000 LEK (roughly EUR 40). Stick strictly to posted speed limits (typically 40–50 km/h in built-up areas, 80–90 rural, 110 motorway), keep headlights on at all times (required by law), and never use your phone while driving.

Camera and remote fines go to the provider first, then forward to you plus a small administrative fee (typically EUR 10–25). These can take 2–4 weeks to appear after the rental ends, so keep your payment card valid for that period. For on-spot fines paid to a police officer, always ask for a receipt.

We recommend avoiding long-distance night driving outside cities. Many rural roads have limited lighting, the line markings can be faded, pedestrians and livestock sometimes appear on the road, and mountain sections are winding. Roads in the south (Tirana → Saranda coastal corridor, SH8) are in good condition; roads in the north and mountain back-routes are rougher. Plan long drives for daylight hours.
