Flying into Podgorica for northern Albania? The airport is on the south side of the city, facing the border, so the car follows Lake Skadar to the Božaj / Hani i Hotit crossing and drops you in Shkodër beneath Rozafa Castle.
Your landing at Golubovci and the short drive over the border to Shkodër.
Once you have your bags, come out through the arrivals exit, where your driver waits with a name sign. The airport is on the southern edge of Podgorica, so the car does not cross the city: it follows the M-4 along the eastern side of Lake Skadar to the inland Božaj / Hani i Hotit crossing and continues south into Shkodër.
Keep every passenger’s travel document in your hand luggage, not in the boot: Montenegro and Albania are not in Schengen and both sides check documents at Hani i Hotit. Check the current entry rules for your nationality before you travel.
We follow your flight, so the 60 minutes of free waiting start from the actual landing, not the timetable. Your driver loads the bags and heads for the border without going through Podgorica.
Over the Božaj / Hani i Hotit crossing, where every passenger shows their own travel document, and into Shkodër beneath Rozafa Castle. Drop-off at your hotel, the old promenade or your address.
Podgorica is the closest airport to Shkodër, and the drive is short even with the border. A private car takes you from the arrivals hall to your Shkodër door in one vehicle. Shkodër is also the gateway to the Albanian Alps, so ask if you want to continue to Theth or Valbonë on the same day.
Priced on request, per vehicle rather than per passenger. Your written quote covers the drive, fuel, the pickup timed to your flight and 60 minutes of free waiting.
We monitor reported flight delays and adjust the pickup time accordingly. Sixty minutes of waiting after actual landing are included.

About 62 km by road, roughly 1h 30m without stops. Time at the border comes on top; summer weekends can add some waiting.
Božaj (Montenegro) / Hani i Hotit (Albania), the inland crossing east of Lake Skadar, which is the direct route. Montenegro and Albania are not in Schengen, so both sides check documents. Which document is accepted depends on nationality: for some travellers a valid identity card is enough, others need a passport, and some need a visa.
No. The airport is at Golubovci on the southern edge of the city, on the side facing the border, so the car heads straight for the crossing.
At the arrivals exit, where the driver waits with a name sign. Send your flight number with the request: we follow the flight, and the 60 minutes of free waiting start from the actual landing.
Yes. Shkodër is the starting point for the Albanian Alps. Mention it in your request and we quote the drive through to your final address.
