Car Rental in Himarë
Himarë is the heart of the Albanian Riviera, a string of pebble bays (Livadhi, Llamani, Gjipe) backed by olive groves and the dramatic Llogara Pass. The best beaches are spread along the coast road and down rough tracks, so a car, ideally with a little clearance, is essential. Pick up in Tirana and drive the spectacular Llogara descent.
You pay a reservation fee online to secure the car and the rest at pickup. It is part of the rental price, not an extra, and most cars need no large card hold.
