Tirana Taxi Tips
- Some taxis accept bank card payments, and others do not. It is always recommended to ask your driver beforehand.
- Tipping your Tirana taxi driver is not customary, although always appreciated. Most travellers round up their end fare or offer a 10% tip.
- Make sure that the taximeter has been turned on, and reset before starting your journey.
- There are no price differences for day, night or weekend trips.
Tirana Wheelchair Accessible Taxis
Unfortunately, most Tirana taxi companies cannot accommodate wheelchairs. For that reason, you will need to contact a private taxi company, such as Holiday Taxis to request a wheelchair-accessible ride. It’s best to book this 24 hours in advance to ensure vehicle and driver availability.
Taxi Safety and Complaints in Tirana
If you regrettably encounter a bad taxi experience, you can report your Tirana taxi driver by filing an official complaint directly with the taxi company you travelled with. It is essential to keep your receipt, as it holds valuable information that the company will ask for (travel time, registration, the amount paid, etc.).
