In the Republic of Macedonia, there are only two international airports: one being Ohrid Airport, and the other, the much larger and busier one, Skopje Airport. Most famously referred as, Skopje “Alexander the Great” Airport. The airport is located some 11 miles (17 km) away from the national capital Skopje in the Municipality of Petrovec. The airport is much busier, for it is estimated that the airport handles almost 900,000 passengers annually.
Rental cars at Skopje Airport
For ground transportation, one can order taxis as well as take the buses. But the taxi might be too expensive, and the buses too clustered. So the best option and perhaps the most comfortable one is for you to rent yourself a car. Don’t worry; with the thriving competition between car rental companies, you are easy to find yourself some very impressive and cheap deals.
Whether you’re with family, big or small, or with friends, one or many, or are here just by yourself; the car rental companies offer all types of cars for your needs. In retrospect, it will really help you get a quick and easy access to a vehicle that can take you easily around the city. And will also make it a very pleasing journey with the freedom that is much required from a vacation.
