Car rental at the Tivat Airport

Located only 4km south of the coastal city of Tivat in Montenegro, Tivat Airport (TIV) is conveniently nestled between beautiful bays and lofty mountains. Despite its size, it's the busiest of the two airports in Montenegro during the summer. It's the perfect starting point for any exciting road trip around this beautiful gem of the Adriatic.

Car Hire at Tivat Airport

Several international and local car rental companies operate at Tivat Airport, giving you a wide range of vehicle choices for your holiday. You’ll find everything from compact cars – perfect for city driving and parking – to more robust SUVs, more suited for Montenegro’s mountainous terrains. We recommend booking your vehicle in advance for the best availability and rates.

Driving Tips

• Drive on the Right: Remember, unlike in the UK, here in Montenegro you'll be driving on the right-hand side of the road.
• Stay Safe: Montenegrin mountain roads can be narrow and winding. Drive cautiously, especially at night.
• Parking: Most hotels and resorts offer free parking on their premises. When parking in public, keep some coins handy – parking meters are common in cities.

Exploring Montenegro

From the airport, you're just a short drive away from some of Montenegro's best-loved destinations. The enchanting Bay of Kotor is only a 15-minute drive away, while the ancient city of Budva and its stunning beaches are just half an hour’s drive southwards. To the north, the city of Podgorica beckons with its rich history and vibrant city life.

Essential Information

• Currency: While Montenegro is not part of the EU, it uses the Euro (€) as its currency. ATMs are available at the airport to withdraw cash.
• Climate: Montenegro has a Mediterranean climate, with hot summers and mild winters – so pack plenty of suncream!
• Language: The official language is Montenegrin. English is widely spoken in tourist areas, but we recommend learning a few basic phrases to impress the locals.
