Your Friendly Guide to Car Rental in Albania

About Us

Our passion for Albania began with a personal travel blog, albaniatengerpartinyaralas.hu, aimed at the Hungarian community, where we share in-depth stories and personal experiences from our trips. This site, carhirealbania.com, was born from that passion to provide practical, essential travel advice for the international community.

Meet Peter: An Expert on Driving and Car Hire in Albania

Hi there! I’m Peter, a travel enthusiast whose connection to Albania deepened three years ago when I bought an apartment in Qerret. I now visit several times a year, using my home as a base to explore the country.

During my trips, I make it a point to use different hired cars to navigate everything Albania has to offer. This inspired me to launch CarHireAlbania.com—so I could help other travelers explore this country with confidence and clarity. My hands-on journeys have taken me all over the country; I have driven the entire length of the winding SH8 coastal road and the breathtakingly scenic SH21 mountain pass. I’ve explored iconic destinations like Shkoder, Theth, Komani Lake, and Bovilla Lake, visited the Cape of Rodon, and traveled through cities like Tirana, Vlore, Sarande, and Ksamil, among many others.
