Most visitors never leave asphalt. A 4x4 is optional, not default.
What to know
- City, airport and coast routes: a compact or estate car is enough.
- Accursed Mountains villages, rough tracks to beaches, or winter passes: choose higher clearance.
- If your plan is “maybe a dirt road”, ask the supplier before you book — some cars are highway-only.
On car.al, filter by class so you are not paying for capability you will not use.
Frequently asked questions
Are dirt roads covered by insurance?
Policies differ. Read the supplier terms before leaving the paved network.
