Cheap National Car Hire in Tirana

Knowing local laws helps prevent fines and makes your driving experience smoother.

Steer clear of peak traffic times to minimize delays and frustration.

When hiring a car in Tirana, choose a car hire deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like National. These policies ensure you only pay for the fuel you use, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. While a “Full-to-Empty” policy might seem convenient, it can often be more expensive if you don’t use all the fuel.

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.

Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.

A credit card is often required for deposits, especially with suppliers like National in Tirana. If you only have a debit card, use our website filter to find suitable offers or consider obtaining a credit card. Ensure that the main driver’s card is used to avoid any additional fees.

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Tirana, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70
