How to choose a car rental in Montenegro
Several hundred companies rent cars in Montenegro — from big airport chains to family agencies with five vehicles. The cheapest daily rate is rarely the cheapest rental. This is the order in which we check an offer.
- Compare the total price for your dates, not the 'from' daily rate
- Ask how big the deposit is and how it is returned
- Check the excess — what you pay if something gets damaged
- Unlimited mileage and a full-to-full fuel policy save money
