About Renting a Car at Vlorë Center

Rent a car in Vlora's center and explore one of Albania's most beautiful coastal cities at the meeting point of the Adriatic and Ionian Seas. With 1 rental company in the center, selection is limited, but the location is perfect for exploring Albania's Riviera to the south. Vlora is known for its historical significance as the place where Albanian independence was declared in 1912.

Vlora city center is located on Ismail Qemali Boulevard, the city's main street, about 5 km from the port. Heading south along SH8, you reach Himara in about 80 km and the spectacular Llogara Pass in 40 km. To the north, Fier is about 65 km away.

Book your rental car in advance during July–August when Vlora is packed with tourists. An SUV is recommended to handle the narrower mountain roads toward Llogara Pass. Take a day trip to Sazan Island – ask locally about boat connections from the port.
