Top tips for renting a car in North Macedonia
- North Macedonia shares borders with several countries, including Greece, Albania, and Bulgaria; in addition, the region enjoys a favourable cross-border policy with its EU neighbors, so you can use your rental car to visit them if you choose. Be aware that you will have to purchase special insurance for this type of travel, and if you rent from Enterprise, you will incur a fee of 1,837 MKD (about 34 USD) for each border you cross.
- If you are traveling with companions, you should consider adding an additional driver if you rent a car in North Macedonia. If a designated driver is needed, make sure there is already someone legally allowed to operate the vehicle, and remember to take turns behind the wheel on long road trips. There is a fee that applies, which should be no more than 1,297 MKD (approx. 24 USD) per vehicle.
- As always, when parking a rental car in an unfamiliar country, you should always use well-lit areas or parking lots whenever possible. Locals are known to ignore strict parking regulations, so be careful how you park your vehicle. Parking rates in North Macedonia are usually about 25 MKD to 50 MKD per hour (about 0.46 USD to 0.92 USD) and fines are about 2,500 MKD (about 46 USD) if you are in violation.
- One great way to explore the country of North Macedonia is to take the national motorway, the A1, which connects its northern region near Serbia and the southern region near Greece. Along the way, you can visit the ancient Kokino observatory at Kumanovo and visit the town of Gevgelija, known for its agricultural produce, silkworms, and casinos, about 70 km (about 43 mi) from Thessaloniki, Greece.
- Book your rental car in North Macedonia at least 2 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
