Meet & Greet Car Rental in Albania: Your Car Waiting at the Port

Not every trip to Albania starts at the airport. Many visitors arrive by ferry from Italy at Durrës or Vlora, or begin their holiday in the north in Shkodër. Meet & Greet car rental means our team meets you at an agreed point with your car ready, so you don't need to find an office or take a taxi first.

Where we offer Meet & Greet

• Durrës – at the train station, right in front of the port. Ideal for ferry arrivals from Italian ports such as Bari and Ancona.
• Vlora Port – at the ferry terminal, a great start for the Albanian Riviera.
• Shkodër – in the city centre on Rruga e Pazarit, the gateway to the Albanian Alps and to Montenegro.

How Meet & Greet car rental works

1. Book online and choose the Meet & Greet location and time. If you arrive by ferry, choose a time shortly after the scheduled arrival.
2. Add your travel details in the booking notes, such as the ferry company or train, so we can follow any delays.
3. We meet you at the meeting point with the car. We check your documents, walk around the car with you and hand over the keys.
4. Return the car at the same point or at another of our locations. One-way fees are shown in the price when you search.

What to have ready

• Your physical driving licence and passport or ID card
• A credit card in the main driver's name for the deposit (or a debit card with Premium Protection)
• Your booking confirmation, on your phone is fine
• A working phone number, so we can reach you if the ferry is late

The full list is in our guide on what you need to rent a car in Albania.

Tips for ferry arrivals

• Ferries can be late, especially in bad weather or in peak season. Let us know if your arrival changes.
• Allow time for passport control after you leave the ship.
• Night arrivals: pick-ups outside our standard opening hours may carry a small outside-hours fee. It is shown clearly in the price when you book.
• From Durrës it is about 40 minutes to Tirana and about 2 hours to Berat; from Vlora you can be on the Riviera beaches in about an hour.

Meet & Greet or airport pick-up?

If you fly into Albania, our Tirana Airport location is the natural choice and is open around the clock. Meet & Greet is ideal when you arrive by sea, when you start your holiday away from Tirana, or when you want to skip the drive from the airport to the coast. Many customers combine the two: they collect the car at a port and return it at the airport before flying home, or the other way round.

Why choose Meet & Greet?

• No detours – start your trip from the port or city centre.
• Save money – no taxi to the airport or to an office.
• Personal service – a real person to welcome you and answer questions about roads and places to visit.

Frequently asked questions

What does Meet & Greet mean in car rental?

It means our staff meet you at an agreed place, such as a port or train station, and hand over the car there, instead of you visiting a rental office.

What happens if my ferry is delayed?

Tell us as soon as you know, using the phone number in your confirmation. That's why we ask for your ferry details when you book.

Can I return the car at a different location?

Yes. You can return it at any of our locations that accept returns, for example Tirana Airport before your flight home.
