EUR 50 Refundable Security Deposit — No Card Block

Best Rent A Car Albania requires a EUR 50 refundable security deposit paid at pickup. We do not pre-authorise or block any amount on your card, and no prepayment is needed before arrival. You pay the rental balance at pickup — nothing hidden.

Fuel Costs

Fuel prices move frequently. April 2026 fuel checks showed petrol and diesel around roughly 170–215 ALL per litre depending on fuel/source, so budget flexibly at about EUR 1.75–2.25 per litre. An economy car consuming approx. 6–7 litres per 100km: budget approximately EUR 80–150 in fuel for a 7-day trip covering approx. 1,200km, depending on route and driving style.

FULL TRIP ESTIMATE: A 7-day road trip in an economy car with full insurance and fuel typically costs roughly EUR 250–450 total, depending on season, mileage, fuel price and selected extras — still excellent value for a European self-drive trip.
