Before you drive

Vignette and tolls
There is no vignette. The A1 (Rruga e Kombit) from Milot towards the Kosovo border has been a toll road since 2018, with toll booths at Kolsh.

Rules and prices change. Check the official site before you travel.

AL

Country code

Cars registered here show the country code AL. Abroad, the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic asks for it at the rear of the car: on a white oval sticker, or as part of the plate. A car from abroad shows its own country code at the rear in the same way.

Reading the plates

Plates carry no regional code, so the letters and numbers do not tell where a car is from.
