Question 1

Is a valid passport required for car hire in Montenegro?

Accepted Answer

For car hire in Montenegro station, a valid passport is generally required for international customers. Domestic renters typically only need a valid driver’s license. In the United States and Canada, residents usually need just a valid driver’s license to rent a vehicle. In Europe, EU residents can often use their home country driver’s license. However, identification requirements can vary by country and region, so it's always a good idea to check with the hire company for specific details before you travel.

Question 2

Should I get insurance when renting a car in Montenegro?

Accepted Answer

When renting a car in Montenegro, valid insurance is required for financial protection; without it, your hire may be denied. If you already have insurance that covers international hires for your vehicle type or if your credit card offers hire insurance abroad, you might not need extra coverage. However, if these conditions don't apply to you, purchasing additional insurance is advisable. You can choose from options such as Excess Fee Insurance during the booking process on our website, or Full Coverage Insurance or Excess Reduction at the hire counter to ensure comprehensive protection.

Question 3

What details are covered in the car hire contract?

Accepted Answer

The car hire contract in Montenegro includes essential details such as the hire terms and conditions, insurance coverage options, and payment information. It specifies the hire duration, any additional services requested (like GPS or child seats), and policies on fuel, mileage limits, and fees for extra drivers. The contract also covers procedures for vehicle return, responsibilities for any damages, and the required identification, such as a valid driver’s license and credit card. Be sure to review the contract thoroughly to understand all aspects of your hire agreement.

Question 4

Can I use a debit card to rent a car in Montenegro?

Accepted Answer

Using a debit card to rent a car in Montenegro is sometimes possible, but policies vary by hire company. Many suppliers require a credit card, such as Visa, MasterCard, or American Express, for the deposit and reservation. If you only have a debit card, check with the hire provider beforehand or use our website, VoyageCopilot.com, to find car hire options that accept debit cards.

Question 5

How can I get to and from the Airport to the city center of Montenegro?

Accepted Answer

Hiring a car at the airport is a convenient option that allows you to drive directly to the city centre of Montenegro and explore at your own pace. Alternatively, you can use airport shuttle services, public transport like buses or trains, or take a taxi or rideshare service for a direct connection.

Question 6

Can I rent a van in Montenegro?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can rent a van in Montenegro. Hire companies typically offer a variety of vans to suit different needs, including compact vans for city driving, mid-size vans for medium loads or small groups, large cargo vans for moving big items, and passenger vans that can accommodate up to 12-15 people.

Question 7

Do I need to return the car with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

Whether you need to return the car with a full tank of gas depends on the fuel policy you select. With a full-to-full or same-to-same policy, you must return the vehicle with the same level of fuel it had when you picked it up. If you don’t, you’ll incur a charge for the missing fuel, usually at a rate higher than local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank, which means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, this option typically results in a higher overall cost, as you’ll be charged the local gas price minus a discount per gallon.

Question 8

What is a one-way fee?

Accepted Answer

A one-way fee is applied when you return your hire car to a different location than where you originally picked it up. This fee helps cover the cost of relocating the vehicle back to its starting point. The amount of the one-way fee varies depending on the locations involved and the hire company's policies. Be sure to check the fee details when booking your hire to understand any additional charges that may apply.

Question 9

Can international visitors rent a car in Montenegro

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can rent a car as a foreigner in Montenegro. However, you will need a valid international driving permit (IDP) along with your home country driver’s license. Additionally, be prepared to provide a credit card for the deposit and reservation. Hire requirements may vary by company, so it's a good idea to check with the car hire provider or use our website, VoyageCopilot.com, to find car hire options and requirements for international drivers.

Question 10

Can another person drive my hire vehicle?

Accepted Answer

Yes, another person can drive your rent vehicle, but they must be authorised by the hire company. Typically, you need to add them as an additional driver when booking or picking up the car. There may be an extra fee for adding additional drivers, and they must meet the same age and driving licence requirements as the primary driver. Check with the car hire company for specific terms and conditions.
