 Car Rental Surcharges in Montenegro

For us, it was super important to understand potential extra charges so we can make a calculated decision to accept or avoid them. To keep your car rental costs optimised, be aware of these common extra charges:

  • Extra Insurance: In case of damage to your car, the extra insurance brings down the cost of your deductible.  However, we didn’t think the extra daily charge was worth the additional coverage.  That’s our personal choice and the risk we were willing to take.
  • No to In-Car Wifi and a GPS System: Using the free app Google maps on our phones, we could download maps and use them offline.  There was no need for us to pay extra for in-car wifi or a GPS System.
  • Dropping a Car Off in a Different Location Has a Surcharge: We began our rental in Podgorica and dropped off at the airport in Tivat. For us, the fee was €20 to drop the vehicle off in a different location. Despite the regular cost, we did this anyway because our next stop was into Milano, Italy, and we didn’t want to backtrack on our trip.
  • Driving into a different country has a surcharge: Crossing from Montenegro to Croatia or Albania.  Be aware that crossing the border in your rental vehicle will likely incur extra fees. The company we rented with does not charge extra fees, but you need to buy a green card if travelling to Albania, Croatia or Bosnia.  
  • Fuel Up Before Returning Your Car Rental: if you don’t return the vehicle with a full tank. Best to fuel up before returning — we paid about €30 for a full tank for a Hyundai i20.  Also, the car rental company you book with may have discounts at specific gas station companies.

Montenegro Roadtrip Tips: Driving and Montenegrin Toll Roads (3/3)

Image
 Montenegro doesn’t have toll roads! Which is great if you are travelling by own car or rented. However, they have online one tunnel with toll – it’s called Sozina. It connects the Capital city of Podgorica with south – Bar. It cost’s 2.5 EUR, which is super cheap comparing to toll in Croatia, Slovenia or Italy. There is no option to buy it online, only on the entrance of the tunnel.  Driving a rented car in Montenegrin Towns:  Everything I love about exploring little Montenegrin towns (pedestrian-friendly walkways, picturesque narrow alleyways, beautiful nature, amazing hospitality, etc).  Driving In the Historical Town Centres of Montenegro is not easy: There are a lot of narrow one-way streets, tight blind turns and very narrow streets. It’s best to park 1km from the downtown and walk-in instead. However, parking will is much cheaper in the centre surrounding.  Visit Kotor and Boka Bay: Whole Old town Kotor is under UNESCO protection. It’s a town museum. You ...
