Tucked along the Adriatic coast, this small Balkan country reveals a striking contrast of sheer limestone mountains dropping into clear turquoise waters. Visitors come to lose themselves in the winding stone streets of Kotor’s Old Town or to experience the stillness of glacial lakes in the Durmitor range. The scent of pine forests blends with sea air, creating an atmosphere that feels both untamed and distinctly Mediterranean.

Grabbing the reins of your own ride is the ultimate key to delving into the nation's secret nooks and ditching those restrictive seaside shuttle paths. Embracing full command over your travels when getting a car rental in Montenegro guarantees that you can:

  • Tackle the famous Lovćen mountain road, climbing through 25 sharp bends that open up unforgettable views over the Bay of Kotor

Renting a car in Montenegro: What documents do I need?

Most rental companies in Montenegro have a European-style practice, requiring a minimum of documents from the driver:

  • Driver's license
  • Passport
  • Credit card and Reservation Certificate (optional).

Just make sure your documents are valid.

Traffic Rules

Traffic Rules

Renting a car in Montenegro gives you access to stunning coastal highways and winding mountain roads that require careful driving. Before setting off, make sure you are familiar with these essential traffic rules:

  1. Driving is conducted on the right side only.
  2. Seatbelts are required for every occupant regardless of seating position in the vehicle.
  3. Overtaking is prohibited on mountain passes, tunnels, and within 100 meters of intersections.
  4. Speed limits stand at 50 km/h in populated areas, 80 km/h on open highways, and 100 km/h on motorways.
  5. Alcohol tolerance is set at 0.3 g/L blood concentration, stricter than many European nations. For drivers under 24 or with less than 12 months of experience, the limit is 0 g/L.
Parking

Parking

Leaving your auto works best at spacious municipal facilities close to the ancient fortifications, where hourly fees typically run €0.60-€0.90 in historic centers like Kotor.

During peak summer season, seek out white-marked curbside spaces requiring payment, or locate an attendant in a yellow vest who'll issue a dashboard receipt for a small cash amount.

Gas Stations

Gas Stations

Target major well-illuminated outlets such as Kastrati or Jugopetrol positioned on town peripheries for premium fuel quality.

Unleaded generally costs around €1.38 per liter, and although card transactions work smoothly at these contemporary locations, carrying physical currency proves essential for smaller mountain-area pumps.

Toll Roads

Toll Roads

Navigating mountain corridors or crossing the bay involves a straightforward pay-per-use arrangement rather than the complex vignette systems neighboring countries employ.

Budget approximately €2.50 for the Sozina Tunnel barrier or €3.50 for the express connection linking Podgorica northward, while virtually all other routes throughout the nation stay entirely cost-free for exploration.
