Car rental companies in Montenegro
Auto Europe Israel partners with a wide range of car rental companies in Montenegro, offering a convenient choice of pickup and return points throughout the country. Major stations operate at Podgorica TGD and Tivat TIV airports, with counters in the passenger terminal area, as well as in popular destinations along the Riviera: Budva, Kotor, Herceg Novi, and Bar, as well as in Ulcinj, Niksic, and Zabljak for nature enthusiasts and the Durmitor Mountains. You can combine city pickup and airport drop-off, or vice versa, sometimes with an additional one-way fee. The wide range allows you to adjust the pickup point to your travel itinerary – for example, if you are focusing on the Bay of Kotor, traveling south to the beaches, or crossing through the Sozina Tunnel towards Bar and the southern coast. During busy tourist seasons, particularly in summer, it is recommended to book in advance to ensure the availability of the desired vehicle category and station. The fleet includes compact models, family, SUVs, and a limited quantity of automatic sedans, so it is advisable to choose the appropriate category in advance according to the route, baggage, and group size. In some destinations, hotel delivery and collection services can be pre-arranged for maximum convenience.
The hours of operation vary between companies and branches: at airports, extended hours and late car return may be available for an additional fee, while city branches may operate limited hours and even include a midday break. It's important to check that the hours match your planned arrival or departure time and notify the provider in case of delays. Ensure you have all necessary documents including a passport, a valid driver's license, sometimes also an international license, and a credit card in the main driver's name for security. If you plan to cross borders to neighboring countries like Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, or Albania, check the company's policy and border crossing fee in advance. Many branches offer after-hours returns via a key box, but responsibility for the car and damages until collection may remain with the driver. Also, check fuel policy and mileage to avoid unnecessary charges. Remember that mountain roads can be narrow and winding, and parking in old cities is limited – look for public parking lots on the outskirts of historic centers for a comfortable and safe driving experience.

Tips for car rental in Montenegro
Before booking a rental car, it’s useful to know some key points that will help you save money, time, and hassle. Here are four practical and central tips to mark for yourself before hitting the road.
Check the fuel policy
Understand if the return is 'full to full' or 'full to empty', keep a fueling receipt before return, and photograph the fuel gauge; this will save unnecessary fueling and service charges.
Confirm the insurance terms in advance
Review CDW/TP, deductibles, and extensions for windshields, tires, and undercarriage. Check for exceptions and inquire about deductible cancellation options at the pickup point to avoid surprises.
Prepare an appropriate credit card for deposit
A physical credit card in the main driver’s name, with an available limit for security deposit. Debit/prepaid cards are sometimes not accepted; also check validity and matching identification.
Check travel restrictions and tolls
