Factors to Consider Before Renting a Car in Montenegro

  • Most rental agencies allow travel across EU borders but may prohibit travel to certain Eastern European countries like Greece, Poland, and Romania. Always check in advance and expect to pay a cross-border fee of around $60.

  • Non-EU citizens will likely need an International Driving Permit (IDP) and their national driver's license.

  • Deposits for renting a car range between 100 and 1000 EUR.

  • Speed limits are 80 km/h on open roads and 40-50 km/h in cities.

  •  Winter tires are required from November 1st to April 1st.

  • One-way rentals allow you to pick up a car at one location, like Podgorica Airport, and drop it off at another, such as Tivat Airport. However, this can incur high costs, so check the details.

  • You need a valid driver’s license for the primary and additional drivers. While an international driving license is not required, it can be helpful.

  • Take photos of the car before renting, noting any scratches or damage.

  • A small sedan is ideal for driving in Montenegro. Avoid cars with tiny engines; a 1.2 L engine or larger is recommended for handling hills.

  • Your driving license must be valid for at least a year before the rental date. If recently renewed, bring the old one to prove experience.

  • Depending on the rental company's policies, an IDP may be required, especially if the license is from outside the EU or UK or is not in the Latin alphabet.

  • Required documents include your original driving license, credit card in the main driver’s name, passport or ID card, and the car booking voucher.

  • Drivers must be between 21 and 75 years old. Young drivers (21-25) and senior drivers (70-75) may incur additional fees.

  • Cross-border travel is usually allowed but requires informing the rental company and obtaining a Green Card for a fee, which varies between 14-25 EUR.

  • Drive on the right-hand side of the road, keep headlights on during the day, and always wear seat belts. Fines for not adhering to these rules range from 40 EUR to 100 EUR.

  • The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.2 permille, with fines for violations ranging from 70 EUR to 2000 EUR or arrest.

  • In case of an accident, call the police at 122 and wait to move the car until authorities arrive.
