Basing at the airport rather than in town is the practical difference: the car is already at the terminal instead of setting out from the city to meet an arrival.

FAQ
Why does it matter that Royal Ride is based at Rinas?
Because the car does not have to drive out from Tirana to meet you. The airport is seventeen kilometres from the centre, so an operator working from the terminal can be waiting when the flight lands rather than setting off once it has.
What sort of cars does Royal Ride run?
A battery-electric BYD fleet. That is still uncommon among Albanian transfer operators outside a handful of newer firms in the capital, and it makes the airport run quieter than the diesel vehicles that make up most of the trade.
Does Royal Ride do tours as well as transfers?
Yes, and the touring leans towards the coast and the Riviera. The practical use is continuity: the operator that collects you at the airport on arrival can run a coastal day later in the trip, without arranging a second company from scratch.
Can Royal Ride be used as an ordinary city taxi?
Yes, city work in Tirana sits alongside the airport and touring sides. Given the Rinas base, though, it is best arranged in advance rather than expected to appear quickly for a short hop across the centre.
How far in advance should a Royal Ride airport pickup be booked?
Book with your flight details rather than on landing, so the car is allocated against the arrival time. On an electric fleet a long onward run to the coast is also worth flagging when booking, so the vehicle starts the day with the range for it.
