Your tips for renting a car near Durrës

Hi,

I’m in Albania for 2 weeks, specifically in Durrës, with my daughter and her friend (both 14), and I was planning to mostly use public transport. But I’m worried it’ll limit our sightseeing and exploring around the country. I’d like to rent a car but I’m not sure how to go about it since I don’t speak the language, and English isn’t always enough to understand all the details and rules around renting a vehicle. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Stéphanie

Hi,

You can also take taxis.

Hi Michel,

Thanks for your reply, but for long distances like 2 hours each way, won’t it end up costing me more than renting a car? And over a week of sightseeing, might it not be the better deal for me?

It all depends on how far you want to go and whether you want to drive every day. Now, it’s pretty peaceful. I didn’t realize you were planning to visit all of Albania!

Oh no, I don’t want to visit all of Albania—just be able to get around more easily, maybe. But thanks for your replies!

Best,

Stéphanie
