Easy Tips to Enjoy Your Book Albania Rental Without Any Extra Costs

Planning to explore Albania by car? Fantastic choice! Driving here gives you the freedom to discover hidden villages, stunning coastlines, and scenic mountains at your own pace. To help make your journey smooth, safe, and stress-free, we’ve put together some simple but important tips.

Follow these guidelines and you’ll enjoy every kilometer without worries!

1. Stick to the Speed Limits

Speed limits in Albania are strictly monitored by police and speed cameras. Always respect posted limits and slow down if the road conditions are poor or it’s raining. It’s better to arrive a few minutes later than to risk a fine or accident.

2. Never Drive Under the Influence

Albania enforces a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to alcohol. The legal limit is 0.0 absolutely no drinking before driving. If you’re unsure whether you’re fit to drive, it’s safer to call a taxi. Remember: safety first, always.

3. Call Us Right Away if Anything Happens

If you’re involved in an accident or the car suffers any damage, contact us immediately. Even if you have full insurance, it’s essential to follow the correct procedures with local police. Failing to do so might void your coverage. A quick call can save you a lot of trouble later!

4. Return the Car Clean

We provide you with a clean vehicle, and we kindly ask you to return it in the same condition. Sometimes the next customer is waiting, and delays for cleaning can disrupt schedules. Excessively dirty cars may also incur extra cleaning fees, so a quick sweep before returning the car is always a good idea.

5. No Smoking Inside

Smoking is not permitted in any of our vehicles. Cigarette smoke leaves a strong odor and can damage the interior. Plus, penalties apply if this rule is broken. Let’s keep the car fresh and enjoyable for everyone!

6. Travelling with Pets? Let Us Know

Planning to bring your furry friend along? Great! But please inform us in advance. Some cars are better suited for animals, and it helps us accommodate both your needs and those of future travellers, especially those with allergies.

7. No Racing, Off-Roading, or Heavy Loads

Unless you’ve specifically rented a 4x4 vehicle for off-road adventures, all rental cars must be driven on paved roads or standard gravel tracks. Racing, reckless driving, and carrying unusually heavy loads are prohibited and may cause serious damage to the vehicle.

8. Planning to Leave Albania? Tell Us First

If you’re heading to neighboring countries like Montenegro or Greece, let us know before you travel. Crossing borders requires extra documentation and specific insurance. Albania is outside the EU, so different rules apply, and we’re here to help prepare everything you need.

9. Use the Correct Fuel

It’s simple but crucial: always use the fuel type specified on the car and in your rental agreement. Using the wrong fuel can seriously damage the engine, leading to costly repairs. When in doubt, double-check before filling up!

10. Don’t Repair the Car Yourself

If something doesn’t seem right with the vehicle, just give us a call. We’ll guide you through the next steps or send assistance if needed. Attempting repairs on your own can worsen the problem and may break the rental agreement.

 

Final Word

Following these tips helps ensure a safe, smooth, and memorable experience. Breaking the rules might lead to additional charges, but stick to the basics, and your Albanian road trip will be a fantastic adventure for all the right reasons.

Drive safe, explore freely, and enjoy every moment of your journey in Albania!
