No. EuroRent24 does not require a security deposit, a credit-card hold, or any prepayment to reserve a car. You pay only for the rental, and you can pay by cash, card at the office, bank transfer, or secure online payment. Nothing is blocked on your card.
EuroRent24 offers a free meet-and-greet in the arrivals hall at Tirana International Airport (TIA / Rinas). A member of the team waits for you with a sign showing your name and hands over the car right there, so there is no shuttle bus and no off-site office. Free delivery to Tirana city centre and Durrës is also available, and other locations can be arranged on request.
Yes. EuroRent24 operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at Tirana International Airport. Flight arrival times are tracked, so whether you land at midnight, 3am or 5am — or your flight is delayed — the team is there to hand over your car with no after-hours surcharge.
To rent a car in Albania you need a valid driving licence and a passport or national ID card. EU, UK, US and most international licences are accepted. That is all that is required at pickup — just bring the licence of any additional driver too, since a second driver is free.
For most visitors on a short stay, no International Driving Permit is needed to rent and drive a car in Albania — an EU, UK or US licence is accepted on its own. If your licence is not in the Latin alphabet, an International Driving Permit is recommended as a translation. If you are unsure about your specific licence, just ask EuroRent24 on WhatsApp before you travel.
With EuroRent24 the minimum age is 21 years old with a licence held for at least one year. Premium and SUV categories require a minimum age of 23. There is no young-driver surcharge.
Yes. EuroRent24 allows cross-border travel from Albania to Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Greece and Serbia. A small green-card insurance fee applies for crossing the border — just arrange it on WhatsApp before pickup so the paperwork is ready when you collect the car.
The entire EuroRent24 fleet is automatic transmission, which makes Albania's mountain roads and city traffic much easier, especially for visitors used to driving automatics. The fleet ranges from economy hatchbacks and compacts to sedans and SUVs with up to 7 seats, all well-maintained and regularly serviced. Browse the full fleet here.
For most trips you do not need a 4x4. The main roads to the Albanian Riviera (Ksamil, Saranda, Himara), Tirana, Durrës and Berat are paved and fine for any car. A 4x4 or SUV is recommended if you plan to drive the mountain routes — Theth, Valbona, the Llogara Pass or around Komani Lake — where roads are steeper and rougher. EuroRent24 can advise which car suits your planned route.
Yes, driving in Albania is manageable for visitors. Main roads and motorways are in good condition, fuel stations are plentiful, and signs use the Latin alphabet. Drive defensively in cities and take mountain roads slowly. Every EuroRent24 rental includes 24/7 roadside support, so if anything happens the local team is one WhatsApp message away at any hour.
