Three prices a year
Most companies price by season: winter and spring are the cheapest, June and September in the middle, July and August the most expensive. The gap between the lowest and highest price for the same car is easily double.
If you are flexible, June and September are best: the sea is warm, crowds are smaller and prices are lower than in midsummer.
The longer you rent, the less per day
The daily rate drops with rental length. Common brackets are 1–4 days, 5–14 days and over two weeks. That is why adding a day or two can pay off — the total goes up less than you expect.
On localcars.me every car page shows the full price table by season and rental length, plus the exact total for your dates.
How far ahead to book
For July and August, book as soon as you know your flight dates — ideally a month or two ahead. Outside the season a few days ahead is enough, often even the day before.
Automatics and big cars
Most of Montenegro's rental fleet is manual. Automatics, 7+ seat vans and campers are the first to go in summer. If you need one of these, booking several weeks ahead is not optional — it is essential.
Other ways to save
- collect the car in town instead of at the airport if delivery is charged
- compare the price with and without full insurance — the difference can be small
- skip the GPS if your phone works as a navigator
- return the car with a full tank
