Car Rental in Ksamil
Ksamil is Albania's answer to the Maldives, tiny turquoise islands you can swim to, white-pebble beaches, and the UNESCO ruins of Butrint just up the road. It sits at the southern tip of the Riviera where public transport is sparse, so a rental car is the best way to beach-hop and reach the quieter coves. Pick up in Tirana and make the scenic coastal drive south.
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.

Where to park in Ksamil
Ksamil has no large central car park. Most beaches charge a few euros a day for a space behind the sand, and the streets closest to the water fill by late morning in summer. Parking a few streets back and walking down is usually faster than circling for a spot.
