Tirana Airport taxi flat rate
Official Tirana Airport taxis calculate fares using a taximeter. The taximeter multiplies the distance traveled by the rate per kilometer and the time elapsed by the rate per minute. The two values are then added together to get the total fare. However, taxis sometimes also offer fixed fares for routes to and from the city center.
The standard airport taxi service provides taxis that accommodate 4 passengers. Look for the bright yellow taxis queued up outside the Arrivals terminal with the “Taxi” sign on their roofs. You can also find vans for up to 8 passengers and minibusses for groups of up to 14.
The 20-minute drive in a sedan from Tirana International Airport to the city center costs €26 (LEK 2,579). Likewise, you’ll pay €41 (LEK 4,067) for a minivan or €55 (LEK 5,455) for a minibus.
