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::

1. 130 km/h is the maximum speed on the highway, and only 40 km/h in the city.
2. Every passenger must wear a seatbelt (even in the back seat)
3. Children under 3 years of age must be in a child seat
4. 0.3-0.5% alcohol will result in a fine and confiscation of driver’s license (at night the fine increases by 66%)
5. A 50% discount if you pay the fine within 15 days of the incident.
6. As you can see, there is no fundamental difference here. Therefore, we recommend being doubly cautious and thinking through your actions in advance.

Parking

1$-3$ is the average cost of an hour of paid parking. The longer you stay, the less you will have to pay. Free parking is available in every city and is not hard to get to.

We recommend booking a hotel with a parking lot.

Gas Stations

The country is known as one of the most expensive for gas stations. The average cost of a liter of gasoline here is around $2 USD, which is clearly higher than the European average.

But the good news is that there is plenty of fuel at every gas station.

Toll Roads

There is only one toll road here – A1. Travel by rented car in Albania costs 5 euros. For motorcycles it is even cheaper – only 2.5 euros.

You will no longer face toll obstacles on all roads in the country.
