The best car rental companies in Durres in 2026 offer pickup from Durres port for visitors arriving by Bari–Durres ferry, from Tirana Airport (37 km, with transfer), from the historic city center, and from beach areas (Currila, Plepa) for tourists wanting local mobility. Durres has a unique characteristic: many tourists bring their own cars from Italy by ferry, so the rental market focuses more on Albanian tourists from abroad and visitors arriving at the airport who do not want to stay in Tirana.

The ranking is computed automatically from Profi's data: 6 public car rentals in Durres with a total of 1,013 published reviews, computed on October 25, 2026. Businesses with reviews written on Profi rank first — ahead of any business that only has Google reviews, however many — because Google's reviews are not ours and we treat them as provisional until a business earns its own. Within each group, the average is weighted by the number of reviews behind it (the Bayesian formula known from IMDb's ranking): a business with 5★ from a single review ranks below one with 4.7★ from hundreds. The floor of 3 reviews to enter the ranking applies to Google reviews; a review written on Profi comes from an account we know, so it needs no floor. Nobody pays to be ranked, and suspended or deleted businesses do not appear. The ranking is recomputed every time the page is opened.
Reading note: Bari–Durres ferries arrive early morning and depart at night, outside standard office hours — ask the company for the real counter hours before booking. Prices mentioned are approximate and vary greatly between high season (June 15–September 15) and low season. You should confirm fleet age, deposit, and insurance yourself — Profi does not verify them.
Editorial estimate — indicative figures, not a Profi measurement
Text marked «Editorial estimate» carries indicative figures from the editorial desk — prices, percentages, distances, times — not measurements from Profi's data. Figures without this mark come from the ranking above.
Yes. Three major companies have counters in the Port Zone (near the port), open synchronized with ferry schedule (06:00–08:00 for arrivals, 19:00–23:00 for departures). Arrivals from Bari ferry are usually morning; departures are always at night. Ask the company beforehand if they have staff at night in high season. Off-season (November–April), contact in advance.

Durres is on average 10–20% cheaper than Tirana for the same class and period. Economy in Durres: €16–€32/day in low season, €28–€50/day in August. Mid-range: €30–€60/day. SUV (popular for beach families): €40–€85/day. The difference is mainly lower operating cost (parking, office rent, wages) outside the capital. Service quality is not automatically lower — some Durres companies are branches or franchises of major Tirana companies.
Editorial estimate — indicative figures, not a Profi measurement
Yes, strongly. Ferry arrivals from Bari (usually 06:00–08:00) often bring 200–400 passengers at once. Rental company counters at the port can have 30–60 minute lines. Booking online in advance (24–48 hours before) gets you keys within 10 minutes. Some companies (e.g. Avis and Sixt) have a 'fast-track' system for prepaid bookings.
Editorial estimate — indicative figures, not a Profi measurement
Yes, but it must be accompanied by the original license from your country. Albania accepts the 1968 Vienna Convention IDP (which includes USA, Canada, China, Japan, Australia, etc.). Some small companies may have issues with non-Latin alphabet licenses (Chinese, Japanese, Arabic) — large companies (Sixt, Hertz, Avis) are more open. Always keep both documents, not just IDP. EU and UK licenses are accepted without IDP.
Checks are more frequent during tourist season, especially at port exits, coastal roads, and the Durres–Tirana axis. Always keep your driver's license, rental contract, and insurance documents in the car. For blood alcohol legal limit, consult official traffic regulations — we do not publish a value here; safe practice is to consume no alcohol before driving.
Highway A2 (Tirana–Durres): 110 km/h on expressway, 80 km/h on exits, 50 km/h in urban centers. Automatic radar cameras have been installed at 6 main points since 2023 — fines are sent directly to the rental company who bills you plus administrative fee €25–€50. Avoid speeding even 5–10 km/h above limit in these known zones: km 12, 18, 25 from Tirana toward Durres, and km 8, 15, 22 on the way back.

Yes, but with an additional fee (one-way fee) €30–€100 depending on distance. Durres ↔ Tirana: €30–€50 (most common). Durres → Saranda: €80–€120 (300 km). Durres → Vlora: €50–€80. Durres → Shkodra: €40–€70. Small local companies often do not allow one-way; only national networks (Avis, Sixt, Hertz, Europcar) and some Albanian companies (e.g. Kar.al, Albania Rent A Car) have offices in multiple cities.
Editorial estimate — indicative figures, not a Profi measurement
Standard: professional companies 'hold' €300–€700 on your Visa/Mastercard credit card (not debit in most cases) for 7–21 days after returning the car. Small local companies often ask for cash €300–€500 — this is riskier: if there's a dispute over damage, it's harder to contest. Prefer companies that hold the deposit on card — ask about this before booking.

National rules for car rentals — driver's license, ID document, VAT — are the same in every city; we keep them complete, with sources, on the page Car rentals in Albania. Age conditions, deposit, and border crossing are set by each company in Durres in their own contract — ask for them in writing before signing.
