Who the i20 fits best
Couples and small families doing the classic loop: Tirana, Durrës, Berat, the Riviera as far as Sarandë. It handles the SH8 and city traffic well, and every road in this guide list is fine for it: Albania road trip guide. Heading to Valbona or Theth? The last valleys are gravel: read Tirana to Theth first, or step up to an SUV like the Vitara or Renegade.
i20 vs the rest of the fleet
Same automatic gearbox and no-deposit terms across the fleet: the VW Golf 7 is the other economy pick, the Passat and BMW 3 Series add comfort for long crossings, the Stonic, Vitara and Renegade add ground clearance, and the Starex 8+1 van carries a whole group. See all classes with live prices on the fleet page.
