Car rental in Sutomore: a car at the beach 40 minutes from Podgorica
Sutomore is the first stretch of sea after the Sozina tunnel, so Podgorica companies cover it quickly and often without a big delivery fee. Compare offers from Podgorica and Bar — both are equally close to Sutomore, so any price difference comes down to the company.
If you're arriving by train from Belgrade or Podgorica, look for a company that hands over at Sutomore station — that saves you a taxi to your accommodation.
When a car in Sutomore is worth it
You don't need one for the main beach and promenade, but for Čanj, Maljevik, Old Bar, Virpazar and Petrovac it's the fastest option. The main road through Sutomore is slow in the evening, so plan day trips to be back before 19:00.
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).
