Car rental in Albania

Car rental guide: Albania

On RentBalkans you compare cars from licensed local rental companies in Albania on one screen. The price you see is the total for your dates; protection, extras and the deposit are shown clearly before you book. You sign the rental contract with the company at pickup.

10 car models are listed right now; the best offer starts from €25 per day. Pickup points: Tirana Airport (TIA).

How do I pay?

You confirm the booking with an online prepayment; the amount is shown on every offer and before payment, and your price is locked in. You pay the rest (including extras) to the rental company in € at pickup.

Deposit

The deposit amount and method (card hold or cash) are shown on each car; it is taken at pickup and returned when the car comes back without issues. Cars labelled “No credit card needed” accept a cash deposit or have none.

Documents you need

At pickup you need your passport (or valid ID), driving licence and the booking voucher. Minimum driver age and licence years vary by car and are shown on the car page. Every offer also says whether a credit card is required.

Picking up the car

Pickup is at an airport desk or meet & greet, or at a city office; the address and meeting instructions are on your voucher. Add your flight number and the company waits for you if you are delayed.

Crossing into neighbouring countries

Cross-border permission is per car: allowed countries are shown on each car. Select the countries when booking; any cross-border permit (Green Card) fee is added to the price.

Cancellation and changes

Cancel free of charge up to 48 hours before pickup (7 days for premium, luxury and minivans); the prepayment is refunded to the same card. For date changes, write to support from the My booking page.

Frequently asked

When and how do I pay?

To confirm the booking you pay a small prepayment online by card; the amount is shown on every offer and before you pay, and updates with the protection and extras you choose. This is the RentBalkans service fee. The rest and the deposit are paid to the rental company at pickup. Instalments are only available for TRY rentals in Türkiye with Turkish-issued cards.

How is the deposit taken?

The deposit is held on your card at pickup (some companies accept cash; see the car page) and released when the car is returned without issues.

Can I rent a car without a credit card?

Yes. Some companies accept the deposit in cash or by debit card, or take no deposit at all. Use the "No credit card needed" filter; the deposit method is shown on every car page. Any debit or credit card can be used for the prepayment.

Can I drive to another country?

Only to the countries allowed on the car page. Cross-border permission (Green Card) is issued by the rental company; any fee is shown in the price. Cars rented in Türkiye cannot leave the country.

Which driving licence do I need?

You must have held your licence for at least 1–2 years (depends on the car). An International Driving Permit may be required for non-Latin licences; requirements are shown on each car page.

What if I cancel?

If you cancel at least 48 hours before pickup (7 days for premium, luxury and minivans), the full prepayment is refunded to the same card in the same currency. Later cancellations and no-shows are not refunded. The period is shown on every offer and before you pay.
