Rent a car in Sarandë

Sarandë is the main town of the southern Albanian Riviera and the base for Ksamil, Butrint and the Blue Eye. Many visitors arrive by ferry from Corfu; others drive down from Tirana in about four to five hours. With Lemon you compare cars from local rental companies and book online in minutes, from €15 per day and with no security deposit.

The pickup point is confirmed with the supplier in the chat of your Lemon account after your booking is approved. Coming over from Corfu? Add your expected arrival time when you book so the supplier can plan around the crossing.

A car for Ksamil

Ksamil, with its small islands and clear bays, is about 15 km south of Sarandë, around 20 minutes by car. In summer it is the busiest stretch of the Riviera. With your own car you can reach the beaches early, move between bays and drive back to Sarandë in the evening without depending on buses or taxis.

We rented a Mazda 2 for 8 days. There were no mileage restrictions, so we drove 800 km across the country. The air conditioning worked perfectly, and the car drove great. No deposit was required. We were met right at the airport and then dropped the car off near the airport at 5 a.m. The service was excellent! We highly recommend it!

Lovely guys who run the company! Super smooth and easy process. I rented the car for 5 days to travel down south in Albania. Had such a lovely experience and they made everything so easy! Very kind and helpful with any questions you had. Highly recommend :)

I am very grateful to this company, they helped in all matters and upon arrival I picked up the car literally in 5 minutes without long waits, unnecessary commotion and waste of time, during the entire car reservation they were in touch and even allowed us to leave the car for another half a day without additional payment, which is a great rarity! In general, I recommend this company, professionals work there!

My sister recommended this rental company to me, and I’m so glad I took her advice. I was very satisfied with the whole experience, the car was clean and comfortable, the pickup and return process was easy, and the service was friendly and professional. I would definitely rent from them again and highly recommend it to anyone!

Car rental in Sarandë: questions

How much does car rental in Sarandë cost?

Economy cars start from €15 per day. The final price depends on the car, your dates and the cover you choose, and you see it in full before you book.

Do I need a car in Sarandë and Ksamil?

Not inside Sarandë itself, but a car makes Ksamil, Butrint, the Blue Eye and the Riviera beaches much easier to reach, especially in summer when buses are crowded.

How long is the drive from Tirana to Sarandë?

About four to five hours, depending on the route and traffic. Many visitors break the trip in Berat or Gjirokastër.

Is there a security deposit?

No. There is no security deposit and nothing is held on your card at pickup. With Basic Cover you remain liable for damage up to a 600€ excess; Full Coverage removes the excess.

What do I need to rent a car?

A full driving licence held for at least 24 months, a passport or national ID, and your flight number if you arrive by plane. Drivers usually need to be at least 20. A card is only needed if you choose to prepay 13% online.
