Traffic Rules
Renting a car in Albania is easy, as the local traffic rules are intuitive and similar to those of most developed countries. But there are a few important ones you’d better memorize:
- 130 km/h is the maximum speed on the highway, and only 40 km/h in the city.
- Every passenger must wear a seatbelt (even in the back seat)
- Children under 3 years of age must be in a child seat
- 0.3-0.5% alcohol will result in a fine and confiscation of driver’s license (at night the fine increases by 66%)
- A 50% discount if you pay the fine within 15 days of the incident.
- As you can see, there is no fundamental difference here. Therefore, we recommend being doubly cautious and thinking through your actions in advance.
