FAQ
How do I get from Tirana to Korçë by car?
Korçë is about 160 km east of Tirana, a 3-hour drive through mountain scenery on well-paved roads. The route passes near Pogradec and Lake Ohrid, making it a scenic journey.
Where do I pick up my rental car for Korçë?
You can pick up your rental car in Tirana city or at Rinas Airport and drive east, Korçë has no local rental office, but an agency can deliver the car to Korçë for a round-trip fee shown on the car before you book.
Do I need an SUV or 4x4 to get to Korçë?
No. The main road to Korçë is fully paved and manageable with a standard car. An SUV would only be useful for the ski area or off-road exploration of the surrounding highlands in winter.
What is the minimum rental period in Korçë?
Most cars have a 2-day minimum. A few cars that an agency delivers to another town need at least 3 days; the minimum is shown on each car before you book.
How much does a rental car in Korçë cost?
Prices start from €15 a day and vary with the car, the season and the length of the rental. Once you pick your dates, every car shows the total before you book, and you pay only a small part online.
Do I need a credit card to rent a car for Korçë?
No credit card is needed at pickup. You pay a small part online by card to book, and the rest to the agency at pickup, in cash or by card where the agency accepts it.
How far is Korçë from Tirana Airport?
About 173 km, 3 to 3.5 hours by car, via Elbasan and Pogradec, on paved roads.
Can I drive a rental car to Dardhë or Voskopojë in winter?
Yes. Both are about 30 minutes from Korçë on paved roads that the national road authority (ARRSH) clears of snow. On snow days ARRSH can allow traffic only with chains or winter tyres, so choose an SUV, ask us before you book about winter tyres and chains, and check the ARRSH notices before you set off.
Is there a ski slope near Korçë?
Yes, the Bigëll slope above Dardhë, about 30 minutes from Korçë, with two small lifts and about 1.3 km of runs. It opens only when there is enough snow, usually from late December to March, and some winters have had little snow. You pick up the car at Tirana Airport or in Tirana, about 3 hours away, or have it delivered to Korçë.

Korçë, Pogradec and Voskopojë in one rental
One rental car links Korçë with Pogradec and Lake Ohrid, about 40 km away, and with Voskopojë, about 20 km into the mountains above the town. The roads are paved and outside winter a standard car is enough.
Korçë in winter: Voskopojë, Dardhë and the ski slope
From December to March, most often in January and February, snow falls in the mountain villages above Korçë. Voskopojë, about 20 km from town, and Dardhë, about 25 km, are each about 30 minutes by car; above Dardhë is the Bigëll ski slope, with two small lifts, which opens when there is enough snow. The roads are paved and cleared by the national road authority (ARRSH), but on snow days it can allow traffic only with chains or winter tyres, as it did on the Dardhë road in January 2026. For these trips choose an SUV, ask us before you book about winter tyres and chains so we can confirm them with the agency, and check the ARRSH road notices before you set off.

The daily price depends on the car, the season and how many days you keep it: July and August are the most expensive months, prices are lower from November to May, and on some cars the daily rate drops the longer you rent.

Pick your dates and car and pay a small part of the price online by card to book. The agency confirms, usually within an hour; if it declines or does not answer, you pay nothing. You pay the rest to the agency at pickup, in cash or by card where the agency accepts it.
