The Balkans by campervan

One van, four countries. Albania is small enough that every border is a morning's drive: you collect a campervan in Tirana and you can be on a different coast, in a different country, the same afternoon.

It does not have to be a round trip. The rental can start or finish in Podgorica in Montenegro, Prishtina in Kosovo or Skopje in North Macedonia as well as in Albania: drive one way and leave the van there, or pick it up over the border and come south. Choose them in the search as the pick-up or drop-off. Either way, tell us which countries you plan to enter at least 3 days beforehand and the green card that covers them is arranged before you arrive, at no cost.

Montenegro

Podgorica — about 2½ hours from Tirana

Podgorica is closer to Tirana than Vlorë is — two and a half hours over Hani i Hotit, with the Adriatic on the other side of it.

Kosovo

Prizren — about 2¾ hours from Tirana

The Rrugë e Kombit made this the easiest border in the region to cross. Prizren is a morning's drive up the Drin valley from Tirana.

North Macedonia

Ohrid — about 2¾ hours from Tirana

Lake Ohrid is one lake with two countries on it, and the crossing between them takes minutes. The circuit of the water is the trip people come for.

Greece

Ioannina — about 4½ hours from Tirana

The south of Albania runs straight into Epirus, and the border is the least busy part of the drive. You collect the van in Albania and keep going south.

Before you cross

The green card is issued per country, so it has to name the ones you are going to — a card naming Montenegro does nothing at the Kosovo border. The border rules cover what happens if plans change on the road, and what crossing unannounced costs.
