Montenegro Car Rental EXPERIENCE
Initially, I was considering renting a car from a corporate company, planning to rent from a big company like Sixt. However, since I would be traveling by train from Serbia to Montenegro and tickets were not available online, I might have needed to change routes and dates. Therefore, I left the car rental until the very end.On the day I left Belgrade, I messaged a Turkish car rental service account that I had previously contacted on Instagram. I informed them that I would arrive at the Podgorica train station at 7:30 AM and requested the car to be delivered there.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE RENTAL
The car was delivered to the Podgorica train station, where we had previously communicated, exactly on time by an employee. We easily received the car after just 5 minutes of paperwork signing.Car Rental Prices in Montenegro
There is not a significant difference in car rental prices between global companies and local businesses in Montenegro. However, Turkish companies or tourism agencies often do not block a deposit on your credit card for the rented cars, in order to remain more competitive.
We rented a manual Volkswagen Polo, and the car that was delivered was a diesel. The daily rental fee was €40, and as promised, no credit card information was taken. Fortunately, we did not encounter any accidents or traffic fines with our vehicle, and we were very satisfied with the support they provided.
In conclusion, we did not process our rental through any website or office; we easily arranged everything via Instagram messaging. You can consider adding this option to your alternatives.

Advantages of Renting a Car
– Since there are many beautiful towns around the Bay of Kotor, renting a car will give you great freedom in choosing where to stay. With each town having its own unique charm, you can choose the place you prefer without the need to stay close to the center of Kotor.
– There are small buses called Blue Line that you can use while traveling around Kotor. However, you should keep in mind that they don’t run frequently like in Turkey, and are dependent on specific stops. When traveling by these buses, consider that this might require some flexibility in your plans.
– If you plan to visit Kotor during the spring months, the weather can be very unpredictable. Warm weather can suddenly turn into rain, and temperatures can drop quickly. So, it’s important to carry extra clothing. The jackets and umbrellas we brought with us were very useful in dealing with these changing weather conditions.
– There are also beautiful mountain villages that you can’t reach by bus. That’s why it’s a must to rent a car. Driving to these locations will allow you to discover Kotor’s hidden beauties and make your trip unforgettable.
