About Renting a Car at Herceg Novi Bus Station
Herceg Novi bus station is located at the northernmost point of the Adriatic coast in Montenegro, just 2 km from the border with Croatia (Debeli Brijeg) and 50 km from Dubrovnik. Three rental companies operate at the bus station, making it easy to pick up a car and drive into Kotor Bay (30 km to Kotor, approximately 40 minutes) or further south toward Budva (65 km, approximately 1 hour). The bus station has good connections to Podgorica, Kotor and Sarajevo.
Herceg Novi is known as the "City of Mimosas" and is located at the mouth of Kotor Bay with views toward the Lustica Peninsula. The Old Town with its Venetian fortress Kanli Kula is 1 km from the bus station. Driving along the bay toward Kotor is one of Montenegro's most beautiful road stretches.
If you're planning to drive to Dubrovnik (50 km, approximately 1 hour including border control) - check that the rental company allows driving in Croatia. Driving along Kotor Bay can take longer than GPS shows due to narrow roads and tourist traffic. Pick up the car early if you're planning a full-day trip to Durmitor (200 km, approximately 2.5 hours).
How long does it take to drive from Herceg Novi to Dubrovnik? The distance is about 50 km and normally takes 1 hour, but border controls at Debeli Brijeg can add 30-60 minutes during summer season. Do rental companies in Herceg Novi allow driving to Croatia?
Many do, but it usually requires written permission and possibly additional insurance. Always ask when booking. Is there parking available at the bus station in Herceg Novi?
Yes, there is parking at the bus station, but it can be full during summer months. Alternatively, park along the waterfront promenade.
