Built Around the Terminal at TIV
Tivat Airport Car Rental was founded on one observation: passengers arriving at TIV want their car ready the moment they clear baggage claim, not after a shuttle ride to an off-site lot. Every part of our service is designed around that principle. Your agent waits in arrivals, the vehicle is parked directly outside, and the handover takes minutes. From there, the Bay of Kotor, Budva, and the entire Montenegrin coast are within easy reach.
Why a Car Changes Everything at TIV
Tivat Airport sits in a pocket between the Vrmac ridge and the bay. Kotor is 8 km east, Budva 18 km south, and the Lustica peninsula stretches west. None of these are well connected by public transport. Buses are infrequent, taxis expensive for repeat trips, and ride-hailing barely exists. A rental car turns a static resort holiday into an exploration of one of Europe's most concentrated coastlines.
Fleet and Collection
Vehicles are collected and returned at the airport terminal, with additional drop-off points in Kotor, Budva, Perast, and 25 other locations across Montenegro. Confirmed extras include the Winter Pack, ski rack, snowboard rack, and roof rack for the renter who bases in Tivat then heads inland to Zabljak for a week of skiing. Three child seat sizes cover infant through booster, and an electric scooter with charger is on the menu for the short marina-to-Donja-Lastva runs. Connectivity options run from a wireless hotspot to a local SIM card, the latter the choice for a multi-week stay. Personal Accident Insurance and Theft Protection layer over the standard cover for the multi-day driver linking Lovcen, Cetinje, and Skadar, or for renters parking overnight in the free bays near Tivat town. Cross-border permission comes in three tiers: neighbouring countries excluding Albania and Kosovo, the same set including Albania and Kosovo, and a wider tier extending to more distant countries for renters running the Tivat-Mostar-Sarajevo loop.

Local Knowledge from Every Road
Ask us which mornings the cruise ships dock in Kotor and fill the car parks. We will tell you to arrive before 07:30 or head to Perast instead. Ask about the best beach on the Lustica peninsula and we will explain the difference between Plavi Horizonti and Oblatno, and which one has shade after noon. From ferry timings at Kamenari to the quietest border crossing into Croatia, our advice comes from driving these roads every day.
Get in Touch
Email is the easiest way to reach us. We reply quickly, even during the peak summer season. Search the fleet online, lock in a rate, and we handle the rest. Or send us a message about parking near Porto Montenegro, the road to Lovcen, or whether chains are needed in December.
