Useful Information

Kavaje is a small town, so parking is generally easy. Free street parking is available in most areas and hotels and guesthouses usually have their own parking for guests. In busy beach areas such as Golem and in larger cities such as Durres, parking near the seafront and popular sights may be paid or hard to find, especially in high season. In Tirana, street parking in the centre is often around 100 Lek (1€) per hour.

Parking Types

  • Free parking is widely available in Kavaje, in the surrounding villages and at most hotels and guesthouses;
  • Paid parking is mainly found in larger cities such as Tirana and Durres, and in busy beach and tourist areas in summer.

We recommend to choose accommodation with private or on-site parking, especially if you plan to stay in Tirana, Durres or Golem in high season, when street spaces near the centre and the beach fill up quickly.

The country is considered one of the most expensive in Europe for fuel. The average price of gasoline is around 1,9€ per litre, noticeably higher than the European average.

The fuel is readily available throughout the country and shortages are rare. However, fuel quality can vary between petrol stations in Albania so it is advisable to refuel only at large, modern and reputable stations.

Petrol stations are available in Kavaje and along the main roads to Durres, Tirana and Rrogozhine. If you plan to drive to remote areas, such as Divjaka-Karavasta, Tomorr or the mountains of central Albania, make sure to fill up in advance as fuel stations are scarcer there.

There is only one toll road in Albania – A1 motorway. The toll fee for standard rental car is €5 per trip, while motorcyclists pay just €2.50.

Apart from the A1 toll section connecting Durres with Kosovo, all other roads in Albania are free to use, including the roads in and around Kavaje, Durres, Golem and Tirana. Travelers driving from Kavaje to the north, Kukes or Kosovo may pass through this toll section. The country’s road infrastructure has improved significantly in recent years, with ongoing upgrades across the network. The main coastal roads around Kavaje are generally in good condition, but traffic between Durres, Golem and Kavaje can be very heavy in the summer season and on weekends, so allow extra time. Traffic around Tirana and the airport can also be heavy at peak hours, especially on the way to your flight. Driving a standard rental vehicle on unpaved roads is not permitted. In addition to potential insurance exclusions, these routes can pose serious safety risks. Unpaved and off-road tracks may feature deep potholes, loose stones, muddy sections, steep inclines and sharp descents, making them unsuitable for regular vehicles and inexperienced drivers.
