Driving Tips for Your Albania Road Trip
Driving in Albania is on the right. While major highways are in good condition, rural roads can be narrow. Be mindful of speed limits: 40 km/h in urban areas and 80-110 km/h on highways. Always stay alert for livestock on rural roads and use GPS apps like Google Maps or Waze, which work well for navigating between Tirana, Sarandë, and Vlorë.
Fueling Stations and Payment Methods
Gas stations are plentiful in Albania, especially near major cities like Tirana and Durrës. Most stations accept both cash (Lek or Euro) and credit cards. When exploring remote areas in the North or South, it's wise to keep your tank at least half full. At AutoConnect, we offer a fair fuel policy, so you only pay for what you use.
Parking in Tirana and Coastal Towns
Finding parking in Tirana center can be challenging, so look for designated parking lots or hotels with private parking. In coastal towns like Sarandë or Ksamil during peak summer, parking fills up fast. Many beaches have paid parking areas. Our team can provide tips on the best parking spots for your specific car rental Tirana itinerary.
