Question 1

What documents do I need to rent?

Accepted Answer

You’ll need a full driving licence with Latin-script details, your passport, and a physical credit card issued in the main driver’s name. If your licence is from a country that uses a non-Latin script, bring an International Driving Permit as well. Photocopies and digital-only licences are not accepted at pickup.

Question 2

Can I drive to Croatia or Albania?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cross-border travel is permitted to Croatia, Bosnia, Albania, Kosovo, and Serbia. The Dubrovnik day trip via Debeli Brijeg is one of the most popular runs from Budva — about 2.5 hours each way. Just flag the countries at booking and the Green Card is prepared for you.

Question 3

Is there a minimum age to rent?

Accepted Answer

Age and licence experience requirements vary by vehicle class and are listed clearly in each car’s details when you search. Younger drivers may see a small daily supplement depending on the model.

Question 4

What’s actually included in the price?

Accepted Answer

Third-party liability insurance and CDW come standard on most cars. VAT, a roadside safety kit, and a transparent fuel policy are included too. Mileage terms differ per vehicle — check the car listing. Zero-excess cover and extras like child seats can be added at booking.

Question 5

How does pickup work at Tivat Airport?

Accepted Answer

Your agent meets you at Tivat Airport arrivals hall. The 22 km coast road to Budva takes around 25 minutes depending on summer traffic. No shuttle, no waiting around — the car is parked right outside the terminal.

Question 6

Can I return the car somewhere different?

Accepted Answer

One-way rentals are available across 28+ towns and cities in Montenegro. Pick up at Tivat, drop off in Budva, or vice versa — just select different locations when you book.

Question 7

What is the cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

Standard vehicles: free cancellation up to 7 days before pickup. Luxury cars and convertibles: free cancellation up to 30 days in advance. A 6% processing fee applies on all cancellations regardless of timing.

Question 8

Do I need to pay a deposit?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the vehicle. Deposits typically fall between €100 and €500 for most riviera rentals. Some cars require no deposit at all. Where one applies, it sits on the main driver’s physical credit card and is released when the car is returned undamaged.

Question 9

What if I go over my mileage allowance?

Accepted Answer

Vehicles with a set mileage cap charge a per-kilometre fee for any distance above the limit. The exact overage rate is shown in the car details before you confirm — no surprises.

Question 10

Is the price I see the price I pay?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All taxes and standard fees are folded into the booking price. There is no fuel surcharge, airport levy, or desk fee added when you collect the car.

Question 11

How much do I pay to confirm the booking?

Accepted Answer

A deposit of roughly 15% to 20% of the total secures the reservation. The rest is settled directly with the rental agent when you pick up the car in Budva or at Tivat.

Question 12

Can I rent without a credit card?

Accepted Answer

Certain vehicles in the fleet can be rented with a debit card or without a card altogether. These are labelled in the search results so you can filter accordingly.
