Private Transfers in Albania

Albania's main international gateway is Tirana International Airport (TIA), located 25 km from the capital and serving dozens of European cities. From there, private transfers fan out across the country — to the Albanian Riviera (Sarandë, Vlorë, Ksamil), UNESCO heritage cities (Berat, Gjirokastër), northern Albania (Shkodër), and the coast at Durrës.

Public transport in Albania has improved significantly in recent years, but it remains impractical for airport connections: there is no direct bus from Tirana Airport to the coast. Reaching Sarandë by public transport from TIA requires a taxi to the city bus terminal, a 4-hour bus journey, and often a local taxi at the other end — with luggage, that adds up to 6 hours and multiple connections.

BetterTransfer connects you with local Albanian drivers who compete for your booking. You set your route, date and time — drivers submit price offers with their vehicle and language details — and you pick the one that suits you. Payment is made in cash directly to your driver on arrival. No platform commission is charged, which is why prices are typically lower than tourist-facing taxi services.
