What You Need to Know About Car Rental Insurance in Montenegro

Car Rental Montenegro: FAQs

Do I need an International Driving Permit (IDP) to rent a car in Montenegro?

It depends on where your driver’s license is issued. If you’re from the EU, UK, USA, Canada, or Australia, you can typically rent and drive a car in Montenegro using your regular license. However, some rental companies may still ask for an International Driving Permit (IDP) as an extra form of identification. If your license is not in the Latin alphabet (e.g., written in Arabic, Cyrillic, or Chinese), then an IDP is mandatory. It’s always a good idea to check with the rental agency before arriving.

What is the minimum age requirement to rent a car in Montenegro?

The minimum age to rent a car in Montenegro is 21 years old, but some companies may require the driver to be at least 23. If you’re between 21 and 24, you’ll likely have to pay a young driver surcharge, which can range from €5 to €15 per day. For drivers over 70 years old, some companies may charge a senior driver fee or have restrictions on certain vehicle types. Always review the rental company’s policies before booking.

How much does it cost to rent a car in Montenegro?

Car rental prices in Montenegro vary based on the season, car type, and rental duration. During the low season, an economy car can cost as little as €12 per day, while in peak summer months, the same car could be €30 or more per day. If you need a larger car or an SUV for mountainous areas, expect prices around €40–€60 per day. Booking in advance can help you get lower rates, especially during tourist-heavy months.

Can I rent a car in Montenegro without a credit card?

Most car rental companies require a credit card in the main driver’s name for the security deposit. Some agencies accept debit cards, but they may place a higher deposit (often €500–€1,500) and require extra insurance coverage. A few local rental companies may allow cash deposits, but these usually come with stricter rental terms and higher costs. To avoid issues, confirm the payment options with your rental provider before booking.

Is it safe to drive in Montenegro as a tourist?

Driving in Montenegro is generally safe, but there are challenges to be aware of. Some mountain roads are narrow, winding, and lack guardrails, making them tricky for inexperienced drivers. In cities, parking is limited, and local drivers can be aggressive. Also, roads may become slippery in winter (from November to April). If you drive cautiously and follow local traffic laws—like keeping headlights on during the day—you should have a smooth experience.

Can I take my rental car across the border to Albania, Croatia, or Serbia?

Most rental companies allow cross-border travel, but you’ll need to inform them in advance and pay for a Green Card (international insurance). The fee usually ranges from €14–€25. Some companies prohibit driving to certain countries like Kosovo due to insurance restrictions. Always check with your rental provider before planning a cross-border road trip to avoid any issues at the border.

Are there any hidden fees I should watch out for when renting a car?

To avoid surprises, check for the following potential extra costs: Young or senior driver fees (for those under 25 or over 70). One-way rental fees (if returning the car to a different location). Additional driver charges (if more than one person will drive). Cross-border travel fees (if leaving Montenegro). Fuel policies (some require you to return the car with a full tank). Late return penalties (returning the car even an hour late can result in extra charges). Always read the rental terms carefully before booking.

What type of insurance do I need when renting a car in Montenegro?

Basic insurance (Collision Damage Waiver) is usually included, but it often has a high deductible (excess), meaning you may still have to pay up to €1,000 or more in case of damage. To reduce this risk, you can opt for: Full coverage insurance (covers damage and theft, usually for an extra €10–€20 per day). Third-party insurance (required if driving to another country). Credit card insurance (some travel credit cards offer rental car coverage—check your policy before declining extra insurance).

What are the speed limits and traffic rules in Montenegro?

Speed limits in Montenegro depend on the type of road: 40–50 km/h in cities and urban areas. 80 km/h on open roads. 120 km/h on highways (where applicable). Other key rules: Seat belts are mandatory for all passengers. Using a phone while driving is prohibited, unless hands-free. Headlights must be on at all times, even during the day. The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.2 permille—even one drink could put you over the limit.

What should I do if I get into an accident with my rental car?

If you’re involved in an accident: Do not move the car unless it’s blocking traffic. Call the police at 122 and wait for their arrival. Take photos of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and license plates. Notify your rental company immediately—they will guide you on what to do next. If the car is undrivable, the rental company may send a replacement vehicle. Having insurance coverage helps cover damages and avoid financial headaches.

How do tolls and parking work in Montenegro?

Montenegro has very few toll roads, but if you drive toward Sozina Tunnel, expect to pay around €2.50 per car. For parking, most cities have paid zones, typically charging €0.50–€1 per hour. In tourist spots like Kotor and Budva, parking can be difficult, so booking a hotel with free parking is recommended. Be aware that illegally parked cars may get wheel clamps or be towed, with fines of €20–€50.

When is the best time to rent a car in Montenegro?

The best time to rent a car depends on your travel plans. Summer (June–August): High demand, higher prices (book at least 2 months in advance). Spring and Fall (April–May, September–October): Fewer tourists, better prices, and mild weather—ideal for road trips. Winter (November–March): Lowest rental prices, but you’ll need winter tires, and some mountain roads may be closed due to snow. Booking at least a few weeks in advance will help you get better car options and lower prices, especially during peak travel seasons.
