We hand car keys to tourists every day at Tirana International Airport. Before most of them leave our lot, the conversation covers Albania traffic fines, what police look for, what to carry in the car, and what to do if something goes wrong.

This guide draws from the Kodi Rrugor i Republikës së Shqipërisë, Law No. 8378, the official Albanian Road Code, with amendments through 2024. Read it before you drive.

People who have been to the Albanian Riviera are often surprised when we tell them the north is the better half. The beaches are stunning, but the mountains in the Albanian Alps are what visitors tend to remember longest. Valbona Valley is the reason we say that.

It sits at one end of the Valbona to Theth trail, which is the most talked-about hike in the Balkans right now. Even if you never lace up your hiking boots, the valley alone is worth the drive.

When customers pick up their car from us at Tirana Airport and ask which beaches need a car to reach, Gjipe is the first one we mention.

It is not reachable by public transport in any practical sense. It takes a half-hour drive from Dhërmi along the coast, a rough dirt parking lot, and then a 30-minute hike down to get there. All of that is exactly why it is worth doing.

Albania is one of those places that keeps coming up in travel conversations but very few Western tourists have actually been to.

The beaches compete with Greece. The mountains are genuine wilderness. The food costs almost nothing. And the country is small enough that a week gives you a real cross-section of it.

This Albania travel guide covers the main routes, how to get around, what to budget, and the parts that most guides miss.

One practical note upfront: Albania rewards travellers who have their own transport. The minibus network works but runs on its own schedule.

If you want to combine the coast, the capital, and the north in a single trip, a rental car is the straightforward answer.

Gjirokastra sits about three hours south of Tirana Airport. It’s one of the most intact Ottoman towns left in the Balkans, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and almost nobody outside Albania talks about it.

This guide covers the seven things to do in Gjirokastra that are worth your time, plus practical tips for getting there and how long to stay.

Most visitors pass through as a day trip from Saranda or Tirana. That works, but you’ll leave feeling like you rushed it. A couple of nights lets the place settle in. The old bazaar looks different at 7am when the tourist coaches haven’t arrived yet.

Finding a 7 seater car rental in Albania that can actually handle the roads, carry real luggage, and keep everyone comfortable across a week of driving is harder than it sounds.

Most rental fleets do not carry large family vehicles, and the ones that do are often aggregator-booked substitutions. At TIA Rental, the Volkswagen Sharan 6+1 is in the fleet and available for direct booking, 100 metres from the arrivals exit at Tirana International Airport.

TIA Rental is a family-owned company that has been renting cars from this exact location since 2010. For families, groups of five or more, and anyone travelling with a combination of adults and children, the Sharan changes what is possible on an Albania trip.

Albania catches most visitors off guard. They arrive expecting a rough destination and leave talking about the water colour, the food, the mountain roads, and the way strangers treat you.

If you want to see the country properly, a rental car is the only real answer. This Albania road trip itinerary covers 10 days, starting and ending at Tirana International Airport, and takes you through two UNESCO cities, the Albanian Riviera, the Blue Eye spring, and the mountain village of Theth in the Albanian Alps.

Pick up your car at TIA Rental, 100 metres from arrivals, and you can be on the road within the hour of landing.

This post covers the top three summer car rental Albania choices we see booked most at TIARent.al, all available from 100 metres outside the arrivals terminal.

Tirana surprises most visitors. It is not the kind of city that overwhelms you the second you arrive.

It reveals itself slowly, through a corner cafe, a mural you nearly walk past, or a dish you have never heard of that becomes one of the best things you eat on the trip.
