Planning to explore beautiful Albania by car? Whether you’re navigating the narrow streets of Tirana or cruising along the stunning Albanian coast, renting the right vehicle and knowing local rules will make your trip smooth and enjoyable. At BeepBeepCars, we want your experience to be hassle-free and fun. Here are the top 5 essential tips you need to know before hitting the road in Albania.

1. You’ll Need a Valid Driver’s License

If you’re visiting from abroad, make sure to carry your national driver’s license. In most cases, it’s accepted as long as it’s in Latin script. For extra safety, bring an International Driving Permit (IDP). For detailed information about driver’s licenses and regulations in Albania, visit the Albanian Road Transport Authority (DPSHTRR), the official government site.

2. Choose the Right Vehicle for the Terrain

Albania offers a wide variety of driving conditions — from narrow city streets in Tirana to scenic mountain roads and coastal routes.

• Economy cars are perfect for urban driving.
• SUVs are ideal for rural and coastal adventures.

At BeepBeepCars, we have vehicles suited for every journey.

3. Understand Insurance Options

Basic insurance comes included with your rental, but we recommend adding extra coverage for peace of mind, such as:

• Collision Damage Waiver (CDW)
• Theft Protection

You can easily customize your insurance package during the booking process.

4. Fuel Policies Vary

We follow a full-to-full fuel policy — you pick up the car with a full tank and return it full. This method is simple and fair. Always confirm the fuel policy if you rent from other providers.

5. Book Early, Especially in Summer

Albania is gaining popularity as a travel destination, and demand for rental cars peaks during the summer months. Book early to secure your preferred vehicle at the best price.
