Car Rental in Herceg Novi

Herceg Novi center combines historical charm with a strategic position at the mouth of Kotor Bay, with two rental companies located in the city center. The old town waterfront (Šetalište pet Danica) and the Forte Mare fortress offer an authentic experience before you get behind the wheel. From here it's 30 km (40 minutes) to Kotor and 50 km (1 hour) to Dubrovnik.

Herceg Novi center (coordinates 42.453, 18.534) is located at the western entrance to Kotor Bay with a ferry connection to Kamenari (5 km, 5 minutes by ferry) that saves 30 km of driving around the bay. The Lustica Peninsula, with pristine beaches and olive groves, is reached in 15 minutes by car. Take the ferry from Kamenari instead of driving around the entire Kotor Bay – it saves 30 km and provides a unique experience.

The old town streets are too narrow for cars – park in the city garage and walk around. Driving on the Lustica Peninsula requires a car with good ground clearance on some stretches. Can I take the rental car on the ferry across Kotor Bay?

Yes, the Kamenari–Lepetane ferry takes cars and runs continuously. The price is approximately 5 EUR per car and the journey takes 5 minutes. How long is the drive from Herceg Novi center to Kotor?

Via ferry it's about 30 km and takes 40 minutes. Without the ferry, driving around the entire bay is 65 km and takes 1.5 hours. Are the roads on the Lustica Peninsula accessible with a standard rental car?

Most roads on Lustica are paved, but to the most remote beaches like Žanjic, gravel roads are required where an SUV is recommended.
