How far in advance should I book a rental car for crossing into Montenegro?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Rental fleets for cross-border travel are subject to availability, even more so during peak summer travel. Additionally, crossing the border into Montenegro isn\u2019t permitted by all suppliers in Croatia. An early booking allows you to secure a preferred vehicle for the required travel dates, as well as enough time for the rental company to arrange any required cross-border documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where can I pick up a car rental for a cross-border trip to Montenegro?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Dubrovnik is the closest pickup point from the Montenegrin border. Split is where you can find the widest overall selection if you’re arriving in busy May\u2013September, although drive time may be longer. Zagreb also has a reliable fleet of vehicles in different categories, but it’s a long way from the border and worth the pickup if your trip starts there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Can I add an extra driver to a Croatia-to-Montenegro car rental?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Yes. Additional drivers can be added to your car hire booking for an extra daily fee. The extra driver must be listed on the agreement during the pickup. Any accidental damage to the vehicle or third-party claims caused by an unauthorised driver are not covered by any level of insurance once you’re in Montenegro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2139\ufe0f Extra driver(s) can be added from optional add-ons provided on the booking summary page. Make sure to review rental terms carefully before booking, as the driver age and licence requirements for additional drivers are the same as the main driver.<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Can I pick up a rental car in Croatia and drop off in Montenegro?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Yes. Some suppliers offer one-way rentals from Croatia to popular cross-border locations like Tivat and Podgorica. An additional drop-off fee based on your chosen car type and route is charged on top of the standard rental cost, along with a cross-border fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 Make sure to check that your supplier has a branch across the border before booking, as some Croatian suppliers may not allow international drop-offs.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
