Fuel stations are available in Bajram Curri and along major routes. It's advisable to fill up before heading into very remote mountainous areas, as stations become sparse.

Яке авто обрати

For exploring the area around Bajram Curri, especially if venturing into Valbona Valley or other mountainous regions, an SUV or a car with higher ground clearance is highly recommended. Many roads, while paved, can be narrow and rough, and unpaved sections are common. A manual transmission is prevalent, but automatics are available if preferred. For purely staying within the town, a compact or economy car would suffice, but it limits your exploration options.
