Rent a car in Albania

Rent a Car in Albania

Explore the whole country on your own schedule — from the capital and the coast to the Alps and the Riviera.

Renting a car is the best way to experience Albania. Buses between towns can be slow and infrequent, but the country's roads have improved dramatically — the SH2 from Tirana to the coast, the motorway south, and the scenic route over the Llogara Pass all reward travellers who have their own car.

Auto Nini is a local, family-run company based in Durrës and Tirana, helping visitors rent a car and explore at their own pace. Browse our real, photographed fleet, then message us on WhatsApp with your dates to confirm availability and get a quote.

Driving in Albania

Albania is a wonderful country to explore by car. Major routes like the SH2 from Tirana to Durrës and the coast, and the motorway south, are modern and well-maintained, while mountain and coastal roads reward patience with spectacular scenery. Driving is on the right, and a standard licence is all most visitors need to get behind the wheel.

Distances are short by European standards — Tirana to Durrës is about 40 minutes, the capital to Sarandë in the far south is roughly four hours, and the Albanian Alps are around two hours from Shkodër. That makes a rental car ideal for combining the capital, the coast, and the mountains in a single trip.

Popular road trips

From the capital, the classic route runs south through Durrës and Vlorë, over the Llogara Pass, and along the Riviera to Sarandë and Ksamil. In the north, Shkodër opens the way to the Albanian Alps and the valleys of Theth and Valbona. Wherever you start, a car lets you stop at the beaches, castles, and viewpoints that public transport drives straight past.
