Car Hire in Montenegro

If you plan on using rental cars during your stay in Montenegro, then you should know that it has very strict laws when it comes to drink-driving. The maximum amount of alcohol you can have in your blood while behind the wheel is 0.03%, compared to 0.08% in the United Kingdom. You must always have your dipped headlights on while driving rental cars in Montenegro, and you cannot drive barefoot. Drivers that are already on a roundabout have the right of way, and it is common to find junctions in Montenegro with separate traffic light systems permitting you to turn right, even on a red light. Using a mobile phone while driving or overtaking when there's a solid line in the centre of the road will result in small fines. It's obligatory that all cars, including rental cars, are fitted with snow tyres from 15 November to 31 March. Snow chains are permitted as well, but snow spikes are illegal due to the damage that they can do to the road.

Most car rental companies will require that you are 21 years old, and they usually have a maximum age of 75. If you are younger than 25, most car hire companies will apply a surcharge to each day you rent a car due to the increased insurance costs for younger drivers. You only need to provide an International Driving Permit (IDP) if your original driving licence is in a language that does not use the Roman alphabet, but it may not be a bad idea to get an IDP anyway. Most car hire companies ask you to pay with a credit card to cover the deposit, and you may be asked to present a second document, along with your driving licence, to prove your identity. Most car hire companies include a collision damage waiver with theft protection in their basic insurance policies, but of course, there are more comprehensive deals on offer. If you plan on crossing borders and leaving Montenegro, you are asked to inform your car hire company, as it may affect your insurance policy.

In general, Montenegro is not a difficult country to drive around, and it has some beautiful mountain roads that are generally traffic-free. However, the capital city of Podgorica is the area of the country most affected by traffic since it has the largest population in Montenegro. If you plan on staying in the city for a few days, we recommend that you park your car at your accommodation and explore the city on foot or use the affordable bus network that operates throughout the city. Parking in the city is not always easy, and cars parked illegally can get fined, clamped and even towed. The busiest road in Montenegro is the highway that connects Podgorica to Belgrade in Serbia, as the bad conditions of the road often cause major traffic delays.
