About Renting a Car at Tivat Airport
Tivat Airport (TIV) is Montenegro's second-largest airport and has as many as 36 rental companies - one of the country's best offerings for car rental. The airport is just 3 km from Tivat center and 30 km from Kotor, perfect as a starting point for a road trip along the Adriatic coast. Pick up the car directly in the arrivals hall and drive off without hassle.
TIV primarily serves charter flights to the Bay of Kotor region and has daily departures from Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Oslo during the summer season. The airport is located on the Tivat Peninsula with easy access to E65 toward Kotor and Budva. Parking outside the terminal is paid but the car rental zones are well-marked.
With 36 rental companies on-site, it always pays to compare prices on SmartCarRental.com - the differences can be significant. Book comprehensive insurance if you plan to drive on Montenegro's narrower mountain roads. Summer traffic on E65 toward Budva can be heavy - expect additional travel time in the afternoons.

Most major rental companies are open for all arrivals, but check opening hours for your specific rental company when booking. Am I allowed to drive the rental car to Croatia or Albania? Many rental companies allow driving to neighboring countries for a fee or with extra insurance - always state your travel plans when booking.
We compare prices from all major providers at Tivat Airport so you can see the total cost upfront - including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.
