KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Skopje
- While Skopje is well-connected via bus, it is truly best traversed in a private vehicle. This is partly because buses are often much slower and less direct than simply driving on your own. Additionally, having your own car allows you to see and experience the character of Skopje and its surrounding areas for yourself. Say, for example, you want to head out to one of Skopje’s neighboring sights like Matka Canyon. It is just a 16-kilometer (10-mile) trip from Skopje and only takes 30 minutes to reach in a car.
- For travelers looking to rent a vehicle and who are arriving in Skopje via Skopje International Airport, the hire car counters can be found in the Arrivals Hall of the main terminal. Renting a car at the airport is likely the most convenient option available for visitors.
- One law to keep in mind when driving in Skopje – and throughout Macedonia – is that you are legally required to keep your headlights on when driving at all times, including during daylight hours. If you happen to forget, there is a good chance that other drivers will flash their lights at you to remind you to turn yours on.
- Like many capital cities, Skopje experiences the weekly burden of rush hour traffic. Fortunately for drivers, though, the traffic is not overly severe and shouldn’t pose much of a problem. Generally, the morning rush hour starts up at around 7:00 a.m. and goes until 9:00 a.m., while the afternoon rush hour goes from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. most days. Boulevard Kocho Racin and Boulevard Ilinden are often congested during rush hour and are definitely two roads to skirt around during peak driving hours.
- Book your car hire in Skopje at least 2 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Economy car hire in Skopje are around 17% cheaper than other car types, on average

Jul 2017
Pros:
The car was great, the guys at pick up and drop off were friendly and helpful. We picked up in town, asked to keep the car extra days and then we were allowed to drop it off at the airport instead of having to drive all the way back into town. They were very okay with our requests.Cons:
The gps address to the pickup spot was off by several blocks but we found someone to help us find it2 locations in Skopje

Nov 2016
Cons:
Deposit still on hold days later, despite guy in office at drop-off telling me it would be returned the 'next morning'. Added fees doubled the cost of the rental too, these could easily have been pointed out in advance. Slow/no response from customer services as to why my deposit has not been returned. Really poor.2 locations in Skopje
