Small car but very economical! It's okay to go from city to city, but don't try to climb Llogara mountain as it will be hard.

Frequently Asked Questions
Renting a car often raises practical questions, especially for first-time visitors. This FAQ section explains how the Cria.al car rental platform works, including booking a car in Albania, payment options, vehicle pickup and return, rental protection, and Tirana airport car rental pickup. You'll also learn how to modify your booking and get support when choosing the right car on Cria.al.
Cria.al is a car rental marketplace connecting travelers with local car rental businesses in Albania. Browse available vehicles, book directly through the platform, and pay a small reservation fee (paid to Cria.al) plus a transaction fee (paid to the payment processor) to secure your reservation. The rental agreement itself is concluded directly between you and the rental company.
To use Cria.al, you must be at least 18. Driver eligibility is separate: you need a valid driver's license recognized in Albania for the period required by the provider, a passport or accepted ID, and the required payment method. Each provider sets the selected vehicle's minimum driver age; many use 21 and some require 23 or more. The requirements shown for the selected vehicle and during booking are final.
Basic third-party insurance is mandatory. Additional CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) and theft protection are strongly recommended. Green Card insurance is required for cross-border travel.
Driving is on the right side of the road. Speed limits are 40 km/h in cities, 90 km/h on highways, and 110 km/h on motorways.
Main highways are generally well-maintained, but rural roads may be unpaved or in poor condition. Mountain roads require extra caution, and GPS coverage can be spotty in remote areas.
Many Cria.al owners offer airport delivery for an additional fee. This service must be arranged in advance through the platform's messaging system.
Available vehicles include economy cars for city driving and SUVs recommended for rural/mountain areas. Automatic transmission is limited. Daily rates start from around €6/day for economy cars in the off-season, are typically €15–30/day for short economy bookings, and €30–50/day for vans, SUVs, and 7-seaters.
No credit card is required to book — you pay the reservation fee online with any debit or credit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay, and the main rental payment goes directly to the rental company at pickup (cash or card, depending on the listing). Deposits vary by car: many listings on Cria.al have no deposit or a low one, shown on each listing and collected by the rental company at pickup. Use the deposit filter to find no-deposit cars.
Yes, but it requires advance permission from the rental company and additional insurance may be needed. Not all vehicles are allowed for cross-border travel, and extra fees apply.
Each lessor sets their own free cancellation window, which is displayed during booking. The default is 7 days before the pickup date. If you cancel before this deadline, you receive a full refund. Cancellations made after the deadline are not eligible for a refund.
