When planning your trip to Albania, one of the first questions you might ask yourself is:
What’s the best way to travel around?
While buses and shared taxis are common, renting a car gives you unmatched freedom, comfort, and access to the country’s most beautiful hidden gems.

Flexibility that public transport can’t offer

Buses in Albania generally run between major cities on fixed schedules, which means you might be limited in when and where you can go.
By choosing to rent a car in Albania, you decide your own departure times and routes.
Want to stop for photos along the Llogara Pass or take a spontaneous detour to a secluded beach in the
Karaburun Peninsula? With a rental, you can.

Access to hidden gems

Some of Albania’s most enchanting spots—such as Theth National Park, Blue Eye Spring, and
Ksamil’s hidden coves—are not always easily reachable by bus or train.
Having your own vehicle means you can explore rural areas and authentic villages that most tourists never see.

By combining our guides like Best road trip routes in Albania with your rental, you can create a custom itinerary that fits your travel style.

Value for money

While buses are cheap, car rental can often be more cost-effective when traveling in small groups or with family.
Instead of paying for multiple bus tickets every day, you can share one car rental fee, fuel costs, and enjoy far more convenience.
With TiRental, you get transparent pricing and no hidden fees, making it a smart investment for your trip.

Comfort and ease

Traveling with heavy luggage or planning to bring outdoor gear like hiking equipment is much easier when you have your own car.
There’s no need to carry bags from bus stations to accommodations—just park near your destination and unload.
Our modern fleet offers both automatic and manual options, so you can choose what feels most comfortable for your driving style.

Rural and coastal exploration in one trip

Albania is unique in how quickly landscapes change—from mountains in the north to crystal-clear beaches in the south.
With a rental car, you can wake up in Shkodra and fall asleep on the Ionian Coast the same day,
stopping at villages, castles, and viewpoints along the way.
