Planning to rent a car in Montenegro? We've gathered some important tips and recommendations to help you drive safely and confidently with your rental car:

Most of Montenegro’s main roads and urban streets have been renovated in recent decades, making them comfortable and safe, even when compared to other Eastern European countries. That said, some roads in rural areas can be more challenging, so it’s important to drive more carefully. In general, driving in Montenegro’s mountainous terrain requires extra attention, and it’s best to take your time on winding roads.
 

◾ Toll Roads

There is one toll road in Montenegro - the Sozina Tunnel, which connects Lake Skadar to the coast. Using it is not mandatory, and if you’re not in a hurry, we recommend taking the scenic M2 road instead. It may be longer, but the views along the way are well worth it.

◾ Headlights

Headlights must always be turned on, day or night, throughout the year.

◾ Driving at Night

Try to avoid driving in rural areas after dark, as not all roads are well-lit. 

◾ Seat Belts

Wearing a seat belt is mandatory for all passengers in the vehicle.

Kotor: The Bay and the Old Town

Kotor’s old town is one of the best-preserved medieval cities on the Adriatic coast. With strong influences from the Venetian era, its architecture and atmosphere reflect a rich cultural heritage.
 

Kotor lies at the end of a breathtaking bay of the same name, surrounded by dramatic mountain scenery. We recommend spending time wandering inside the old city walls and enjoying a meal or a refreshing drink at one of the traditional local restaurants.
 

A walking tour of the town and bay offers the perfect blend of stunning scenery and physical activity.
 

Lake Scadar

Straddling the border between Montenegro and Albania, Lake Skadar is the largest natural lake in Southern Europe. The Montenegrin side is designated as a national park and is home to diverse wildlife and lush vegetation.
 

You can explore the lake by boat, visit charming villages along the shoreline, or take relaxing walks through the surrounding nature. For a peaceful break, head to Murici Beach on the lake’s southwestern side, where you can swim and sunbathe in a serene setting.
