Fuel Stations & Petrol Prices in Albania
September 24, 2026 · 5 min read
Fuel is easy to find across most of Albania, and prices are broadly in line with the region. A little planning helps on longer or more remote routes. Here is what you need to know.
Finding Fuel Stations
Petrol stations are plentiful along main roads, in and around towns and on the busy coastal and highway routes. In remote mountain areas they are fewer, so fill up before heading into the countryside or the Alps.
Petrol and Diesel
Both petrol and diesel are widely available, along with options like LPG at many stations. Rental staff will tell you which fuel your car takes, and it is usually noted near the fuel cap.
Prices
Fuel prices in Albania are broadly similar to the wider region and can vary a little between stations and over time. Prices are clearly displayed at the pump.
Payment
Many stations accept cards, especially larger ones on main routes, but it is wise to keep some cash for smaller or rural stations. Attendants often fill the tank for you.
Opening Hours
Stations on main routes and in towns often have long hours, with some open around the clock. In remote areas, plan ahead as hours may be shorter.
Tips
- Fill up before remote or mountain routes.
- Keep some cash for smaller stations.
- Confirm the correct fuel for your rental car.
- Note stations on your route in advance.
