Car rental in Saranda

I%26#39;m planning a trip in a couple of weeks to Albania, mostly to Albanian Riviera.





I have two possible flight routes planned, one via Rome and Tirana and the other via Corfu with a ferry crossing to Saranda. I would very much prefer to take the trip via Corfu, as it%26#39;s a direct flight from Tallinn, but I%26#39;m not so sure if I can rent a car from Saranda. I could probably easily get a car from TIA.





Are there any bigger rental car companies present in Saranda?

we returned from a 18 day trip to Alabnia in June . A fantastic country and people. As to car rental we found the local company TCR to be the cheapest by a substantial amount ( saranda.port@tirana-car-rentals.com). We rented in Tirana but their site show other locations including Saranda .I checked the big 3 first (Hertz , Aviv and Eurocar) but an American living in Albania suggested this company . The service was fine my only reservation is that on returning home I discovered that they submitted the charge to my credit card company on the day of the rental and not at the end of the rental period as is normal. We rented a Kia 1.4 liter (Rio) which ate up the road of all types all over the southern part of the country . I can be reached at nimrodjoh@yahoo.com if you have further questions. Nimrod

Thank you for your helpful reply. I tried TCR, but they answered that they have no cars available for these dates. So any more suggestions?

I gave you my email address in the previous post as I don%26#39;t check the forum every day . A quick %26quot;google %26quot; gave me two addresses that should offer something. The first specifically offers cheap rates for Russians.



Again you can reach me at nimrodjoh@yahoo.com

I see that the second link didn%26#39;t copy so here it is imakoocars.co.uk/directory-in.php/…

Thank you for your help. I managed to get a okayish deal from a car rental company called Noshi. Hope this works out.

Was it worth hiring a car? How much does it roughly work out per day?




|||



Worthwhile? That depends on what you want to do and how much freedom you want. If you don%26#39;t mind carrying all your luggage and only going to major cities when there is transport I am sure furgons and bus would be cheaper. But if on the other hand you want the comfort and flexibility a car offers it is %26quot;worthwhile%26quot;. We got a car for 35 Euro a day but that was in early June not yet high season. I am guessing that now it is about 50 Euro a day. You can get a quote on line from the big companies. Nimrod

The rental cost 50 euro per day and I think it was worth it.
