FAQ

Can I use euros in Albania?

Often yes in tourist areas — many hotels, tours and coastal restaurants accept euro, but usually at a worse rate than paying in lek. Taxis, markets and small shops expect lek, so carry both.

Should I exchange money at Tirana Airport?

Only a small amount. Airport exchange counters offer poor rates. Change just enough for your first taxi, then use a bank ATM or an exchange office in town.

What's the best way to get Albanian lek?

Withdraw from a major bank's ATM and decline dynamic currency conversion (choose to be charged in lek), or use a reputable exchange office in town.

Do I need cash in Albania?

Yes, some. Cards work in cities and larger venues, but cash is essential for taxis, markets, bakeries, small shops and rural areas.

What currency do I pay my RidePrise rental balance in?

Euro. You pay a small deposit online and the remaining balance in euro cash at pickup, so bring euro for the car and lek for everyday spending.
