Car or motorcycle in Albania?
Choosing between a car and a motorcycle for a trip in Albania.
People ask us this constantly. The answer is rarely about the roads — it is about who you are travelling with and what you are carrying.
| CAR | MOTORCYCLE | |
|---|---|---|
| Passengers | More | Usually 1–2 |
| Luggage | Easier | Limited |
| Urban movement | Good | Very flexible |
| Weather protection | Yes | No |
| Licence | Category B | A, A2 or B by model |
Take a car if
- You are three or more
- You have real luggage
- You are travelling with family
- You would rather not plan around the weather
Take a motorcycle if
- You are one or two people travelling light
- You already ride regularly
- The riding itself is part of the trip
