Driving in Albania
The rules of the road as our desk recorded them, native unit first.
Right
40 / 80 / 110 km/h · 25 / 50 / 68 mph
urban / rural / motorway
Recommended · Both accepted
EU licences are accepted; an IDP is advisable with others and police checks are frequent.
0.01% - effectively zero tolerance
A toll applies on the Milot–Morinë highway toward Kosovo; other roads are free.
Mandatory at all times, day and night, year-round.
Required for young children, though enforcement and availability are limited.
Driving standards are the country's main hazard - overtaking on blind bends is normal and rural roads carry livestock and unlit vehicles. Avoid driving at night outside the main corridors. A green card is needed for foreign vehicles and many EU rental agreements exclude Albania entirely.
