Local company or a desk in the terminal?
At Podgorica Airport (TGD), international brands run desks inside the terminal, while local companies on localcars.me hand over face to face in the car park in front of it. The difference is usually the deposit and payment: desks typically block a larger amount on a credit card, while local companies ask for a smaller deposit (or none with full insurance) and take cash or card at pick-up.
On localcars.me you see the total for your dates, the deposit and whether airport pick-up is free — before you send the booking.
Late arrivals in Podgorica
Many flights land in Podgorica late in the evening or after midnight. Local companies hand over then too, by arrangement — add your flight number to the booking and the company tracks any delay. The airport is 12 km from the centre, so city-based companies get there quickly even if your flight moves.
What to have ready at pick-up
For a quick hand-over in the car park in front of the terminal, bring:
- Your driving licence (in Latin script or with an International Driving Permit) and passport or ID card.
- The deposit amount, if the company asks for one — cash or card, depending on the company.
- Your booking reference from the email — with it the hand-over takes about ten minutes.
Driving & car rental in Montenegro — a practical guide
Everything a visitor should know before picking up a car: fuel, parking, tolls, traffic rules, fines, border crossing and emergency numbers.
Fuel
Petrol and diesel cost about €1.50–1.65 per litre (2026). Filling stations are common along the coast and main road, many open 24/7. LPG (auto-gas) is available in larger towns. Tip: fill up before heading north (Durmitor, Žabljak), where stations are sparser.
Parking
In coastal towns (Budva, Kotor, Tivat, Bar) parking is zoned — around €0.50–1 per hour, paid at a machine or by SMS. Old town cores are pedestrian zones; use the public car parks at the entrance. In summer, plan parking ahead as centres get packed.
Tolls & tunnels
Montenegro has no classic motorway tolls except the Sozina tunnel (between Podgorica and Sutomore/Bar) — about €2.50 for a car. The new Smokovac–Mateševo motorway section is currently free. All other roads are toll-free.
Traffic rules
Speed limits: 50 km/h in towns, 80 km/h on open roads, up to 100 km/h on the motorway. Dipped headlights are mandatory even during the day. Seatbelts are required for everyone. Blood alcohol limit is 0.03% — effectively, drive sober. Phone hands-free only.
Fines & police
Police radar is common on the coastal main road and at town entrances. Fines are usually paid on the spot and range from about €40 to several hundred euros for serious offences. Drive defensively — the coastal road is winding.
Borders & emergency numbers
To cross into Croatia, Albania or Bosnia you need the company's permission and a Green Card (insurance) — arrange it when booking. Emergency numbers: 112 (general), 122 (police), 124 (ambulance), 19807 (road assistance — AMSCG).
