Can I drive a rental car into Bosnia or Montenegro?

Cross-border travel is permitted by several suppliers, subject to prior written authorisation obtained before your rental begins. Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro are among the most commonly approved destinations due to their proximity to Dubrovnik and Split. An additional cross-border fee applies and varies by country. Some vehicle categories may not be entirely allowed for cross-border use.
