FAQ
Does International Airport Shuttle run an actual bus?
Yes, and that is what distinguishes it. Most operators at Tirana airport sell only private hire. This one runs a nonstop bus between the airport and the city centre as well, so a single traveller can buy one seat rather than pay for a whole vehicle.
How long has the operator been running?
Since 2002, under the Luna Travel name. That is unusually long for the Albanian ground-transport market, most of which grew after the tourism expansion of the last decade, and it means the airport to city route has been worked continuously rather than added recently.
Should I take the bus or book a private vehicle?
The bus if you are travelling light, alone or in a pair, and staying centrally, since it goes to the city centre without stops. A private vehicle if you are a group, have heavy luggage, are heading somewhere other than the centre, or land at an awkward hour.
Does International Airport Shuttle only do airport work?
No. The wider Luna Travel business covers flights and organised trips alongside ground transport, so the same operator can handle an excursion later in a stay. The airport shuttle is the part most visitors meet first.
Do I need to book the shuttle bus in advance?
Booking ahead is worth doing in the summer months, when arrivals into Rinas peak and the seats on a given departure are finite. The private hire side always needs booking, since a vehicle is assigned to you specifically.
