Car hire offices in Budva are located along the main coastal road (Jadranski put), near the Old Town (Stari Grad), close to the bus station and along the beaches of the Budva Riviera. Many companies also operate near popular hotels in areas such as Bečići, Rafailovići and Slovenska Plaza. Some providers offer delivery of the vehicle directly to your hotel or accommodation.

To hire a car, you will need a valid driving licence (held for at least one year, and in some companies two years), a passport or identity card, a credit card in the driver’s name and the booking voucher. EU driving licences are accepted.

The minimum age is usually 18, although many companies require drivers to be at least 23 for certain vehicles, particularly larger SUVs and premium cars.

Yes, most companies offer one-way hire. You can usually return the car in other locations across Montenegro, such as Tivat Airport, Podgorica Airport, Kotor, Herceg Novi or Bar, for an additional fee depending on the distance. One-way hire along the coast often involves only a small surcharge. Some companies allow cross-border travel to neighbouring countries (Croatia, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina), but this requires prior notice, additional insurance (Green Card) and extra fees. Always check cross-border policies when booking.
