Autoverhuur beoordelingen in Tirana
At TIA we work by flight number. Our partners meet you at the arrivals door, walk you three minutes to the car park, and the contract is signed at the vehicle. There is no airport shuttle to a remote office, and no global counter to queue at — that's the practical difference a local team makes.
The other option is to pick up downtown the next morning. If your first night is already booked at a hotel in central Tirana, the cheapest move is to take a taxi in and have the rental delivered the morning you actually need it. Delivery within 5 km of Skanderbeg Square is usually free; further out it's €5–10.
A lot of guests stay one or two nights in Tirana before heading south. We deliver the car to the hotel an hour before they leave, so they don't pay for parking they aren't using.
What follows is Tirana-specific: where to pick up and drop off, how the city traffic and parking apps work, which car class fits the lanes around Bllok, and which day-trips work best from here as your base.
Where to collect and return your car in Tirana
Three pickup points cover almost every booking. Mother Teresa Airport is the most common: meet your manager at the arrivals exit, then walk three minutes to the partner car park. Central Tirana is the second option — handy if you arrive late or want a free first night. Delivery within 5 km of Skanderbeg Square is usually free; further out it's €5–10. The third is Durres, 35 minutes by motorway, for travellers arriving by ferry from Italy.
Returns mirror pickup. Most people drop the car at the airport on the way out — the manager meets you at the same car park, runs a quick check, done. Out-of-hours returns (after 22:00 or before 07:00) cost €10–20 for the personal handover. Leaving keys in a box without a person isn't standard in Albania.
One-way inside Albania (Saranda, Vlora, Gjirokastra) is arranged in advance with a fee of €20–80. International one-way to Podgorica, Dubrovnik or Pristina runs €300–600 with select partners only.
Day trips and longer routes from Tirana
For a single day: Durres (1 hour, beach and Roman amphitheatre), Berat (1.5 hours, white houses and the castle), Kruja (40 minutes, Skanderbeg's fortress), Bovilla Lake (40 minutes, nature park). For two or three days: Shkodra and its lake, Theth via the Koman ferry, or Berat plus Gjirokastra. For a full week — the classic loop Tirana — Berat — Vlora — Saranda — Gjirokastra. The roads between these points are sealed; any car will get you there.

Meet & greet by flight number
Your manager at TIA tracks the actual landing time and waits at the arrivals exit with a sign. If your plane is late, no one disappears. Paperwork is done at the car itself, on the partner car park, and takes around fifteen minutes start to finish.
-
Hotel delivery in Tirana
Within 5 km of Skanderbeg Square the rental is usually delivered to your hotel for free. To the suburbs it's €5–10. The manager arrives at the agreed time; the inspection and contract take about ten minutes on the spot. Confirm address and time on WhatsApp the day before.
-
Direct line to your supplier
Local partners give you a personal WhatsApp number at handover — for a flat tyre, a lost key, an accident, anything unusual. Replies typically arrive in 5–10 minutes, around the clock, in English. TakeCars support stays in the loop alongside the supplier.
Albanië biedt ideale omstandigheden voor zwem- en strandvakanties, maar ook majestueuze landschappen en frisse berglucht. Je kunt de belangrijkste bezienswaardigheden in een paar dagen bekijken, maar om je volledig onder te dompelen in de lokale cultuur en te ontspannen op de stranden, raden we je aan om minimaal twee weken een auto te huren in Tirana.
We hebben online chat ondersteuning voor alle realtime vragen in Tirana.
Verkeerssituatie

Veelgestelde vragen
Your local partner meets you at the arrivals exit with a sign. From there it's a three-minute walk to the partner car park, where you inspect the car and sign the contract. There is no airport shuttle and no shared counter to queue at. Total time from leaving the terminal to driving away is usually 15–20 minutes.
Yes — with verified Tirana partners this is standard. Your manager sees the actual landing time in the system and waits even if your flight is delayed. If the flight is cancelled or shifted by more than a couple of hours, message support or your manager directly on WhatsApp; the meet will be rescheduled without a no-show fee.
Yes. Delivery within 5 km of Skanderbeg Square is usually free; further out it's €5–10. The manager brings the car at the time you set; the inspection and contract take 10–15 minutes on the spot. Confirm address and time on WhatsApp with the partner the evening before to avoid surprises.
The safest options are covered car parks: ToTi at Skanderbeg Square, the Air Albania stadium car park, and the underground parking beneath the Pyramid of Tirana. Rates are €1–2 per hour with a daily cap of €10–15. Blue zones on the street are paid via the T-Park app. Never leave the car under a "P with a cross" sign — towing crews are quick.
Yes, with most partners. After 22:00 and before 07:00 there is usually a small after-hours surcharge of €10–20 for the personal handover. No supplier in Albania accepts a key drop without a person — always close the rental in person, with a signature and a vehicle condition note.
A compact is the right choice — Hyundai i10/i20, Toyota Yaris, VW Polo, Fiat 500. Parking bays in the centre are tight and the lanes around Bllok are narrow; a D-class saloon or a crossover becomes a constant headache. A larger car only makes sense if you're driving across the country and parking at your hotel inside Tirana.
If your weekend is purely Tirana, a car is more of a hassle than a help. Most sights are walkable, and taxis or Bolt are cheap (€2–5 across town). Renting pays off if you plan a side trip to Durres, Berat, Kruja or Bovilla Lake during the weekend — those places are awkward without a car.
If you already have the car, the drive from Tirana to Durres takes about an hour on the SH2 motorway — 35 km, fuel cost €4–6 in an economy car. If you mean a one-way car delivery from Tirana to Durres (or back), the typical fee with a local partner is €15–25 one way.
Yes, one-way inside Albania is offered by almost all suppliers. The fee is €20–80 depending on distance: Tirana to Saranda runs €60–80, Tirana to Vlora €30–50. Set the drop-off point in the contract before pickup. International one-way to Podgorica, Dubrovnik or Pristina is offered by select partners at €300–600.
Yes. Tirana partners hand over a direct WhatsApp number for the manager — for a flat tyre, a lost key, an accident, or a parking ticket. Replies usually arrive in 5–10 minutes, slightly slower at night. TakeCars support also remains available alongside the supplier's local team.
