Is it required to pay a vignette (road tax) in Albania, just like in Bulgaria and Romania?



Best Answer

Currently roads are free, but the government is considering asking tolls for some highways in the future.

What you need is car insurance, beacause the insurance you have in your country is not valid in Albania. Just buy one at the border, minimum is 15 days.
