Albanian Car Rental service is considered to be one of the best in the world. In fact, there are a number of agencies providing car rental service at prices, which will be affordable for most of the tourists. Transport rules are not very strict and it is easy to move around the whole country. The roads of Albania are not in very good condition, but the ministry of transport is endeavoring to improve them.
