FAQ

Renting a car in Tirana Airport: common questions

Where is the M.A.C.K. rental office at Tirana Airport? +

Our office is at the Jurgen Hotel, directly across the street from the Tirana International Airport (TIA) terminal — a 2-minute walk from arrivals. Open 08:00–20:00 daily. For flights arriving outside those hours, contact us in advance.

How far is Tirana Airport from the city centre? +

Tirana International Airport is 17 km from the city centre, approximately 25 minutes via the SH2. In rush hour allow 30–40 minutes. The airport bus also runs to the city, but a rental car is faster and lets you head straight to onward destinations.

Can I drive from Tirana to the Albanian Riviera? +

Yes — and a car is the best way. Vlora (start of the Riviera) is 2.5 hours via the SH4. Continuing south through the Llogara Pass to Himara, Saranda and Ksamil takes 4 hours total from the airport. The road is scenic, well-paved, and worth doing as a 2–3 day trip.

Can I cross into Montenegro or Greece with the rental car? +

Yes. Montenegro is reached via Hani i Hotit or Sukobin (Shkodër direction) — no Green Card needed for ME from Albania. For Greece (Kakavija crossing), Green Card insurance is required and arranged at the desk. We recommend confirming your itinerary at booking so we issue the right paperwork.

Can I drop off the car in Montenegro or Croatia? +

Yes. M.A.C.K. operates offices at Tivat, Podgorica, Dubrovnik, Split and Zagreb. Pick up in Tirana and drop off at any of these — one contract, lower one-way fees because we own the receiving offices.

What car do I need for driving in Albania? +

Main coastal and inter-city roads are well-paved and any category works. For mountain detours (Theth, Valbona, Albanian Alps) or rougher tracks, an SUV is useful. We advise at pickup based on your itinerary.
