Car rental companies in Podgorica
Auto Europe Israel collaborates with various car rental companies in Podgorica and throughout Montenegro – including suppliers ENTERPRISE and HERTZ – providing you a network of convenient pickup and return stations throughout the city. Popular pickup points include Podgorica Airport (Aerodrom Podgorica, IATA code: TGD), the central train station, and the nearby bus station, along with branches in the city center and selected hotels. Through ENTERPRISE and HERTZ, you can compare vehicle categories, transmissions, and insurance coverage, add safety seats or a navigation system, and find a suitable offer for city travel or star trips to Kotor, Budva, or nature reserves in the north such as Durmitor and Biogradska Gora. Additional branches are spread in neighborhoods and business areas, so you can choose the most convenient location for pickup or return according to the route.
Operating hours vary between suppliers and branches, so it's advisable to ensure in advance that your chosen station is open upon arrival. Airport counters usually operate extended hours, while city branches may work on a limited schedule on weekends and holidays. Online registration and preparation of documents (valid driver's license, credit card in the driver's name, and sometimes an international driving license) will expedite vehicle release; for late returns, check for a key drop option. Driving in Montenegro may involve mountainous and narrow roads, so adhere to speed limits and avoid nighttime driving in rural areas. In winter, winter tires or snow chains may be required on intercity roads – check the rental conditions of ENTERPRISE and HERTZ and the insurance coverage before setting out. On some sections, such as the Sozina Tunnel in the south, tolls are charged – keep cash or a credit card ready. Parking in Podgorica operates in designated paid areas; avoid prohibited areas and adhere to the decal times. If planning to venture into neighboring countries, ask for pre-approval and appropriate insurance documentation, and note there may be limitations and border crossing fees. Planning the pickup point, flight times, and travel itinerary will ensure receiving the vehicle at the right place and time for you.

Is an Israeli driver's license sufficient, or is an international license required?
In Podgorica, when working with Enterprise and Hertz through Auto Europe Israel, a valid Israeli driver's license printed in Latin letters is generally accepted, but it is highly recommended and may even be required to have an international driving permit (IDP), especially when picking up at the airport.

Tips for car rental in Podgorica
Heading to rent a car abroad? Here are four practical tips to help you choose wisely, understand hidden costs, manage insurance and deposit, plan the route conveniently and cost-effectively, and avoid surprises at the pickup and return counters.
Check Insurance Coverage and Deductible
Read what CDW/TP includes, if there is third-party coverage, and what the deductible amount is. Consider a deductible waiver or extended coverage to reduce the risk of high charges in case of damage or theft.
Prepare a Suitable Credit Card for Deposit
Ensure the name on the card matches the rental register, that the card is physical and a real credit card (not debit), and has enough credit limit for hold. Check the billing currency to reduce conversion fees.
Fuel Policy: Prefer "Full to Full"
Take the car with a full tank and return it full to pay only for what you used. Refuel close to return, keep a receipt, and photograph the fuel gauge to avoid charges.
Plan Tolls, Vignettes, and Border Crossings
Check if vignettes or electronic tolls are required if traveling to neighboring countries is allowed, and what the cost is for driving in restricted areas. Order toll passes if necessary and hold valid documents.
