In Albania, driving is on the right-hand side. A valid driving license from your home country is required, and depending on your country of origin, you may also need an International Driving Permit (IDP).
The speed limits in Albania are generally 40 km/h in urban areas, 80 km/h on secondary roads, and 90-110 km/h on highways, subject to change based on road conditions and signage.
Fuel stations are readily available in cities and along major highways, but it's wise to monitor your fuel level when traveling to more remote areas of the country.
It's also important to be aware that Albanian roads can be narrow and winding, especially in mountainous regions. During the rainy season, road conditions can deteriorate, and visibility can decrease, so extra caution is advised.
Driving in Albania can be challenging due to varying road conditions and sometimes unpredictable local driving habits. However, having a car is recommended if you plan to explore the country's diverse landscapes and remote areas, offering flexibility and access to regions less served by public transport.
For a more enjoyable and safe driving experience, familiarize yourself with local traffic laws, and consider renting a 4x4 if you plan to explore rural or mountainous areas, as they offer better handling on rough terrains. Remember, patience and careful planning can greatly enhance your driving experience in Albania.
If you need help while in Albania, don't hesitate to contact our office. In an emergency, the national emergency number is 112.
