Saranda car rental — FAQ

Where do I collect a rental car in Saranda?

Pickup is available in central Saranda and at the port ferry terminal, which is convenient if you arrive on the ferry from Corfu. Confirm the exact meeting point with your supplier when you book.

Is a car the best way to see Ksamil and Butrint?

Yes. Ksamil and Butrint are 17–20 km south of Saranda along the coast, and the Blue Eye spring is inland. Public transport is limited and seasonal, so a rental car gives you the freedom to explore the Riviera at your own pace.

Can I drive from Saranda into Greece?

The Greek border at Kakavijë is about an hour inland. Many suppliers allow travel to Greece with prior written authorisation and an additional fee; a Green Card may be required. Always confirm cross-border rules with your supplier before departure.
